FITNESS franchise 9Round, which has been growing at a rapid rate in the UK over the last two years, has opened its first Northern Ireland outlet at the Grand Central Hotel in Belfast city centre.

9Round is a full-body kick-boxing workout which promises results in just 30 minutes, and the classes are already popular in the USA, Australia and New Zealand.

Rather than running on a set schedule, a new 9Round session starts every three minutes.

There’s a new workout every day which includes a range of weight resistance, cardio and core-strength training and users can essentially show up at any time to have one of their personal trainers guide them through the session.

9Round it one of the first brands in the UK to utilise wearable heart-rate technology. Class participants wear heart rate monitors, which are hooked up to a big screen in the gym. This allows the personal trainers to monitor how hard users are pushing themselves and if they are in the correct zone to see results.

Commercial agents Osborne King acted on behalf of Hastings Hotels on the letting.
