“We studied lots of areas and Arlington Heights and surrounding villages kept popping up as a good match for us,” said part-owner, Tom Sagehorn. A Barrington resident, Sagehorn said, "Population wise it seemed like a strong demographic match and the climate for business is good."
A family oriented community, Arlington Heights is the kind of place 9Round Kickbox Fitness Centers thrive. Sagehorn said, "We cater to people who are busy, work on tight time schedules, looking to get healthy, trimmed and toned and not have it be a drag.”
