About Us

A little bit about us...

9 for 9 started in 2017 when Darren could not get much wanted products in the UK. Importing products directly resulted in high shipping costs and import charges which sometimes exceeded the cost of the product itself! Darren realised others would also love these products. Quick access for a fair price was the goal.

We focus on brands that we believe in and that are making products we want to use ourselves. We also focus on working and collaborating with like-minded people. We want to bring you amazing products but we have to believe in the companies that we are working with. We have also always been customer-centric, working hard to add value to every customer. We strive to offer the highest levels of customer service possible. Your experience with us is important and we always want to leave a lasting impression. These fundamental values are in our DNA.

See below the brands we proudly stock... and the reasons why!


w.o.d.welder - We’ve used the w.o.d.welder hand care kit for years. Our interest started with the solid salve which is phenomenal at healing up tears and rips fast! The volcanic pumice is also fantastic. It offers a level of sharpness not seen with conventional pumice and keeps hard calluses at bay. The soap is also superb and we use it all the time. We’ve gone onto expanding the offering of w.o.d.welder products.


Pioneer Fitness - We have so much respect for Pioneer and are passionate about their products. Renowned for quality and world-class customer service working with Pioneer has been incredible and we are thankful for the partnership. They have been hand-crafting their world-class belts in the USA for three generations. Significant investment has allowed us to offer and stock most of their products. The most incredible custom belts can also be made to order.


Wild Country - We've tried lots of chalk. It is surprising how many we have tried which are slippery! Wild Country has been our favourite. It has no drying agents or additives and is very grippy. With some care the chalk blocks hold their shape and are perfect for chalking up hands, backs and benches.


Iron Tanks - This added much asked for IPF Approved products to the focussed product portfolio. Again we knew the company and had owned many of their products ourselves. We will be expanding our range of Iron Tanks products over time.


Obsidian - On first contact, it was clear Obsidian were set on providing the best ammonia in the world. Obsidian Hype Dust uses pre-activated dry ingredients and can maintain potency for up to six months. The Ultra formula is the world's first two-part ammonia inhalant. It combines wet and dry ingredients producing rocket fuel in a bottle. Going for a personal best? Try Obsidian Saiyan Salts GT. If you're a seasoned ammonia user then try Nose Bleach (if you are feeling brave!).


Barbell Bands - Barbell Bands provide premium quality silicone rings designed for athletes. They feature a unique knurl pattern and are available in a variety of colours. If you never wear your wedding band when training (ahem Darren) now there's a perfect option for you.

 

JUNK Brands - We were very excited to be appointed as an official supplier for JUNK Brands. JUNK design and manufacture the coolest headbands and they do everything under one roof in the USA. There are hundreds of different designs and six different styles to choose from. They do not just look awesome either; the design and fabrics used ensure consistent high-performance even during the hardest of training sessions.


FLEOWe were super excited to be appointed as an official supplier for FLEO; a strength training apparel brand for women. Designing and manufacturing in-house in the USA, FLEO make the most incredible shorts, leggings, sports bras, crop tops, singlets and joggers. Super-soft fabrics stretch in 4 directions offering unparalleled levels of comfort. Attention to detail is second-to-none. Quality of the end product is exceptional.


Kinda Fit Kinda Fat - Kinda Fit Kinda Fat is a brand close to our hearts, promoting two of our loves in life: fitness and food! KFKF encourage - and support - all to be body proud! You may be aware that this message resonates with some of our other brands too; so there’s common ground, but KFKF apparel is truly unique.


Duluth Pack - We have long been looking for the best bags and packs we can get our hands on; not only for hitting the gym but for hiking, outdoor expeditions and for the adventures of life! This led us to Duluth Pack and we cannot be happier to be working with them and bringing you their awesome products. Duluth Pack started handcrafting packs in 1882 in Minnesota. They are the oldest canvas and leather bag and pack manufacturer in the USA. The company mission is simple, straightforward and has never wavered. Handcraft the highest-quality premium American-made canvas and leather outdoor gear, packs, bags, and hunting equipment that is guaranteed for life on all craftsmanship and hardware. Buy it once. Have it for life. You can read more about the Duluth Pack story

Very happy with my order. I will be ordering again

Perfect

These are great. Use them on all my runs and metcons and love them. Comfy and look great. Used one on a 100 ultra and it was sweet.

Figure 8 lifting straps

Pioneer are they only lifting straps I will use, in my opinion they are the best

Fits easily would recommend

Great

The headband itself is great. Lightweight, keeps hair and sweat out of eyes, fits comfortably, and looks cool.

The service from the company is excellent. They look after all import complications you’d otherwise have to go through to get these headbands. And you even get a sweetie and a thank you note in your package. Have recommended this site to friends.

Amazing product and even better customer service!

I was unsure of what belt and more importantly what size to get. I messeged them in instagram and quickly got a reply. They helped me choose the belt and with sizing. The product was shipped fast and when it arrived it came with a free gift, some candy and a personalized message. Really warmed my heart xd. Couldn't reccomend more!

Amazing

Love this product, great value and delivered quickly. Thank you.

Solid lifting shoes

Quality service from 9for9 as always! The shoes themselves are great. I wanted to something stable with a low heel for squatting and log pressing, and these fit the bill perfectly. Would highly recommend to anyone taking strength training seriously.

Fit great, beautiful colour

I bought several of these Toro legging during their sale (£25 each, can’t argue) and they fit so well, look incredibly stylish and great for working out in. The 28” ones give an extra bit to cover your ankles which is great when it’s getting colder! They absorb the sweat without it feeling sweaty (if that makes sense). Thank you 9for9 team, appreciate the handwritten note and haribos x

My Order

Hi All.
I have only one thing to say....please support these guys and buy from them. Always excellent, personalised service and great communication.

Great belt, even better retailer

Main thing first; I love ordering from 9for9. Darren and Emma are always so prompt, always add a personal touch and are sometimes so kind enough to include a little freebie! I can't recall shopping many other places (especially online) where you're valued as a customer this much.

The belt: I don't have much frame of reference, having only used a velcro belt before this and having only used this one for a month or so. However, the quality and construction is great. I can tell it's going to last a lifetime of use without too much maintenance. I get a much better brace from this belt over the velcro and it's super quick to put on/off and adjust. Very much a worthwhile purchase in my opinion.

Absolutely love this headband. Gorgeous and well made!

Great qaulity

Good T-shirt and lovely team

lovley item, prompt delivery

I bought the headband to keep my hair in order when scuba diving. It's really nice, very well made and stayed in place.(Unusual for my hair). So comfortable I ended up using it when not diving to keep hair out of my neck (Egypt was very hot). Love it I will be ordering another soon.

Great Product

Not many products I would let near my Redwings, but this is amazing and does a brilliant job of maintaining the leather

Just recieve this this belt and it's awesome! It is really secure and fit is really good. Came very well packaged. Handwritten wish on the reciepe was such a nice thing to read and also added Haribo packet next to the belt made my day! I can't thank you enough and keep up the good work 9for9!

Great leather conditioner for my Iron Rangers

Great item and very, very fast delivery to Poland. For the very first time since Brexit, package from UK came to Warsaw in 7 days! (not 2 months as usual...)

Best hair band EVER

I wore this for my chicago marathon and I couldn't fault it. Never moved an inch. Amazing. I've tried several hair bands and this is by far the best.

Awesome!!

Bought another T-shirt & some ammonia as a present. Awesome service from the team as always!! Even got a small bag of haribo & a hand written note!! Really adds to the experience buying from these guys!!
I will absolutely be buying from them again 🤗

Pioneer Fitness Powerlifting Lever Belt – 10mm thick – 4" wide (All Black Garment Leather) - Matte Black PAL V2
Nikolaus W.
Good belt

I was looking for a lever belt, because I had the hardest time getting my prong belt on and off for heavy sets. The PAL v2 belt solves this problem completely and can be finely adjusted.
