New Guided Stretching Station: Boost Your 9Round Workout with Better Mobility & Recovery!

At 9Round Fitness in Wicker Park, we’re always striving to enhance your workout experience and help you get the most from every session. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest addition to the member experience: the Guided Stretching Station! Whether you’re a regular or new to 9Round, this new station is designed to improve your performance and support your recovery, making it the perfect complement to your workout.

Why Stretching Matters for Your 9Round Workout

We know that an effective 9Round workout isn’t just about hitting the bags or crushing the exercises—it’s about ensuring your body is prepared and supported throughout every round. That’s why we’ve created a dynamic stretching routine to prepare your body before your workout and a static stretch routine to help you recover properly after each session.

Proper stretching improves flexibility, reduces muscle soreness, and helps prevent injury, so you can stay consistent and get the best results. Our new Guided Stretching Station is designed to help you improve your range of motion, prevent stiffness, and increase circulation—all essential for better performance, whether you’re here for a quick workout or a full-body training session.

Dynamic Warm-Up Before Your Workout

We’ve all been there: you’re pumped up and ready to hit your workout, but your muscles feel a little tight or stiff. Enter our dynamic warm-up stretch routine at the Guided Stretching Station, designed to get your body moving and primed for the action ahead.

In just 5 minutes, you’ll go through a series of dynamic stretches that gently activate your muscles, increase your heart rate, and improve your flexibility. These movements will loosen up your joints, warm up your muscles, and prepare your body for the intensity of the 9Round workout. The best part? You can do it all right at the stretch station, right before you begin your workout—no need to think about it, we’ve got you covered!

Static Stretching After Your Workout

After you’ve burned through those 9Round rounds, it’s time to focus on recovery. Our 5-minute static stretching routine will help you cool down, improve flexibility, and promote muscle recovery. This gentle stretching sequence will relax your muscles, prevent tightness, and help prevent soreness the next day, so you can feel great after every session.

The best part is, the Guided Stretching Station offers a quick, effective way to target all the muscles you worked during your 9Round workout, ensuring you’re giving your body the care it needs to bounce back strong for your next session.

New Foam Rollers for Extra Recovery

We’ve also added a set of foam rollers to the station, with specific stretch routines printed right on the rollers. These routines will help you loosen up even further after your workout, targeting those deeper muscle groups that might need extra attention. Foam rolling is a great way to improve circulation, break up muscle knots, and reduce muscle tightness.

Whether you’re new to foam rolling or a seasoned pro, our printed stretch guides make it easy to know exactly what to do for maximum recovery.

A Perfect Addition to Your 9Round Routine

The Guided Stretching Station is the perfect way to round out your 9Round experience. It’s designed to help you:

• Warm up properly before your workout, increasing mobility and preventing injury.
• Stretch and recover after your workout, reducing soreness and improving flexibility.
• Use foam rollers to release tension and enhance recovery.

These additions will help you stay consistent, feel great after every workout, and ultimately get the best results possible!
