9Round Kickboxing Fitness, the world’s largest kickboxing fitness franchise, is thrilled to announce that long-time vendor Lebert Fitness has become the Canadian Master Developer responsible for growing the 9Round brand in Canada. This strategic partnership re-invigorates the Canadian market post-pandemic by locating business operations on Canadian soil through the Lebert Fitness team to better support the 25 existing Canadian franchise partners and ensure faster growth through new locations.
9Round CEO, Shannon “The Cannon” Hudson, the visionary leader behind 9Round, saw the agreement with Lebert Fitness as the perfect opportunity to re-imagine how to grow the brand in Canada and reinforce 9Round’s commitment to making kickboxing accessible to more people. “9Round and Lebert Fitness have had a long-term relationship, as Lebert strength training products have been embedded in our program for years. We are aligned in our values to provide the best quality products and workouts to as many people as possible, as kickboxing and bodyweight strength training make for an unparalleled fitness experience.”
Chief Fitness Officer, Marc Lebert, founder of Lebert Fitness, expressed excitement at the opportunity to grow 9Round on their home turf. “Not only does Lebert Fitness have a storied history in both bodyweight and martial arts, but our longstanding relationship with 9Round made us big fans of their brand, their people, and the massively dedicated franchise partners who are all committed to helping people in their local communities grow stronger, physically and mentally.”
Expanding on the benefits of the two brands coming together, Lebert Fitness President David Faassen said, “Bringing the power of the Lebert Fitness brand to Canadian 9Round franchise owners will allow us to positively impact more people and provide even greater support while introducing new revenue opportunities for franchise owners. We want all 9Round franchise partners to thrive, and ultimately, we want new opportunities for entrepreneurs to join our thriving kickboxing fitness community as we add more franchises!”
“The power of kickboxing is that it can transform lives, and this new relationship allows us to share that passion with even more people,” says Hudson. As 9Round takes this significant step forward, it reiterates its commitment to fostering a community of fitness enthusiasts and empowering individuals to achieve their health and wellness goals through the love of kickboxing.
