The Rounds

Rounds 1 and 2: Strength trainingRounds 3-7: Boxing and kickboxingRound 8: Speed bag work.Round 9: Core-focused

After walking into 9Round in East Brainerd, Keri Davis fell in love with the concept and decided to open a 9Round in Fort Oglethorpe.

“I decided life was too short and I wanted to do something more active for the next 20 years,” she said. “So I decided to quit my job of 23 years and open up 9Round of Fort Oglethorpe.”

Davis’ husband Jeff quit his 31-year job to help her launch the new business.

“I walked in and fell in love before the workout,” said Keri Davis, who discovered 9Round when a friend gave her a one-month-free coupon for the East Brainerd location. “It’s what my body needed. I checked in with 9Round and went to corporate to get approved.”
