Customers at 9Round's new kickboxing location won't have trouble finding motivation to work out after the company's grand opening this weekend.

Aside from a 30-minute, full-body circuit training program, the 9Round site in downtown Huntsville features posters of Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali and fictional character Rocky Balboa to inspire clients to get off the couch and get fit.

"We loved the 9Round concept from the moment we first heard about it and knew it would be the perfect fit for Twickenham Square," said Kadie Pangburn, spokeswoman for real estate company Crunkleton & Associates. "The studio provides an amazing new facet to an already diverse center and we're excited to see them join Twickenham Square."

The gym launches at 9 a.m. Saturday across from Publix and next to Mei Wei Asian Bistro at Twickenham Square on 309 Pelham Avenue, Suite B3. The grand opening will offer membership specials, tours and demonstrations until noon.

Pangburn said grand opening specials will include $100 off 9Round's eight-week body transformation, which includes two free months, boxing gloves, wrist wraps, a heart rate monitor and more. Six-, 12- and month-to-month memberships will also be available for purchase.

The South Carolina company made the 2015 Inc. 5000 list after posting a three-year growth rate of 988 percent and $3.2 million in revenue in 2014. 9Round, which launched its 300th club in January in San Antonio, has plans to open a total of 1,000 locations by 2018.

9Round's Twickenham Square site is its first location in north Alabama, with more expected to open soon across the state.

The rapidly expanding chain of kickboxing gym franchises was founded in 2008 by professional kickboxer Shannon Hudson. The Huntsville site is run by franchisee Steve Bump, who also owns Anytime Fitness in Hampton Cove with his wife, Jodi.

9Round joins Publix, H&R Block, Taco Mama, Chocolate Martini Bar, Cajun Steamer Bar & Grill, Mei Wei, Beaute Nail Spa, Artisan at Twickenham Square, Homewood Suites by Hilton and other businesses at Twickenham Square. Earlier this month, Triad Properties Corporation said Ruth's Chris Steak House will move to the space formerly occupied by Asian Rim in the Twickenham Place office tower.
