Benny was in a few weeks ago to do his birthday burpees!! We are still surprised he turned 47, clearly working out makes him look younger . Thanks for always being such a great sport Benny!! #strongerin30 #ymm #fortmac #kickboxing #fortmcmurray #birthdayburpees #9RoundNation #9RoundFamily #9roundfortmcmurray

Jane!!! You finally made 100 workouts . Jane reached 100 workouts long ago but when she was a trainer with us her workouts weren't tracked lol! We are honoured that Jane comes to us for her therapy, as a counsellor she helps so many others that she knows in order to help those people she needs to help herself. Jane is a light for many in our club, she loves with all her heart and truly loves sharing her love for our club with others. We see her come in with the weight of... the world on her shoulders, and we watch her lay it out on our floor. This is why we won't ever stop fighting for our club. We are essential for so many. A little bio on Jane: Fighter Name: GI Jane Favourite Round: Trainer led Favourite Kick: Shin kick Favourite Punch: No one favourite, combination punches are my fav! What you like most about 9Round: 9Round is my release! It is my biggest mental health tool out of my tool box! It helps me release the stress of each day. Some days I go in with so much on my shoulders, as most do. When I leave, I’ve released all of that and feel like a whole new person! I stay mentally healthy because of 9Round! I also love that I feel like I’m with my family! The trainers are all amazing, and all the members feel like my family! There is never any judgement! Trainers meet you where you are at! Members never judge and always encourage each other to do your best that day! Everyone at 9Round understands that everyone is coming in with a story and as long as you bring your best that day, that’s all that matters. Trainers and members never compare you to another. Not the way it works! Trainers and other members are proud of you for showing up!! That’s the biggest step! Showing up! Thank you Jane for helping so many in this lost world, we are blessed to have you continue moving with us!!! #strongerin30 #9RoundFamily #9RoundNation #ymm #fortmac #kickboxing #fortmcmurray #100workouts #mentalhealthawareness #9roundfortmcmurray #mentalhealthmatters

Congrats on 100 workouts June! Like many, June was a little terrified to start something new, but it only took her one time to know that this was what she needed!!! 100 workouts later and June knows her mind and body needs our club to be the best she can be for her family and career!! It's not always easy making time to exercise, but it's essential for so many of us and we know June has made it one of the most important things she does for herself! A little bio on June: F...ighter name: Primmer (so creative lol) Favourite Round: Trainer led and Round 5. Favourite kick: Front kick or shin kick Favourite punch: upper cuts What I like best: I love that you can start here as an absolute beginner with no judgement. This is the first type of gym or exercise that I truly like. The atmosphere is amazing. The people support each other and the trainers are like family. Going into the club to kick and punch is my me time and I love it We are looking forward to another 100 with June! #strongerin30 #9RoundFamily #9RoundNation #ymm #fortmac #kickboxing #fortmcmurray #100workouts #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters

And this my friends is why fitness communitues have to fight so hard....many politicans have no idea what fitness does for mental health and this is what angers me the most. Before I closed my doors in December, one of our trainers signed up a new member who was coming out of alcoholism and said she needed something else to focus on... She fell in love with the club, you could see her happiness, her outlet. How dare anyone tell her or the many more that come into my club fo...r their mental well being that they aren't as important!! We have locked the world down to say we are protecting everyone while others that struggle, not from covid, are being pushed to the side!!! My members matter!! And opening my club matters for their mental health! As for the economic health... Since I opened my doors back up, my neighbour, the sandwich shop, gets more business because people leave my club and grab their lunch/supper, my other neighbour Uncle Bill's says his buisness has gotten busier since opening again. I remember the first few weeks we first opened two years ago, the owner of Uncle Bill's came in with such happy eyes saying he's been so busy!! I know Supplement stores have benefited from us being open. We have sponsored and donated to many organizations in our community!! That's how our economy works with us being open and it's sick to see that sentence below as we struggle to continue providing for our members and our community!!!!! I have lost so much hope in our government, but I move in hopes that people will continue to fight for us and with us, it's the people that are beside us that matter. Please don't stop sharing your love for fitness and what it does for your mental health!! I clearly need to kick and punch today, ya know... To help my mental well being because I know my story and exercise has gotten me through so much in my life and I won't stop fighting to show that it is actually quite important to many!!! #strongerin30 #9RoundFamily #kickboxing #ymm #fortmcmurray #fortmac #9Roundstrong #Health #Fitness #SupportSmallBusiness #opengyms #mentalhealthawareness #openfortmacfitness Laila Goodridge Jason Kenney
