Why Kickboxing

Why La Quinta Loves 42 Combat

We've been running this class for years and the waitlist keeps growing. Here's why.

🔥

Up to 900 Calories Gone

In 55 minutes. The HIIT structure is what does it. You alternate between throwing combinations on the bag and hitting intervals on bikes, ropes, and bodyweight stations. Your heart rate stays up the entire time and the afterburn keeps going for hours.

💪

Strength + Cardio in One

This isn't just a cardio class. We use weights, bands, and resistance work alongside the kickboxing. You're building muscle and burning fat in the same session.

🧠

Stress? Hit a Bag.

Rough day? Come throw hands at a heavy bag for an hour. It works better than you think it will. Our members in La Quinta say this is the best stress relief they've ever found.

👥

Actually Coached

This isn't a big room where someone yells from a stage. Your certified trainer is right there watching you. Correcting your cross. Telling you to rotate your hips more on that roundhouse. Bumping your weights up when you're sandbagging. You get real coaching, real feedback, every single class.

🎯

Total Beginners Do This

Most people who walk in have zero kickboxing experience. Doesn't matter. Your trainer breaks down every combination. Check out our beginner's guide to kickboxing to see what your first class looks like.

⚡

Never Repeats

Every single 42 Combat class is programmed differently. Monday might be heavy bag combos with bike sprints. Wednesday could be pad work with rope intervals and weighted circuits. You never know exactly what you're walking into and that's the point. Your body can't adapt and you can't get bored.

What a 42 Combat Class Actually Looks Like

You walk in, glove up, and your coach runs you through the whole thing. Every session is different but the structure goes something like this:

  • Warm-up to get loose and get your heart rate moving
  • Boxing and kickboxing combinations on heavy bags. Your coach teaches every combo.
  • HIIT intervals on bikes, ropes, or bodyweight stations between rounds
  • Strength rounds with free weights and bands
  • Core work and cool down
  • Bring 12oz boxing gloves. If you don't have a pair, we sell them at the La Quinta studio.

Nobody is fighting anybody. You hit bags and pads. That's it. 42 Combat is a fitness class that uses kickboxing technique. It's intense, it's fun, and it's built for regular people who want real results. A lot of our kickboxers also do the Fit in 42 Program or boot camp on their off days, and add stretch therapy in La Quinta for recovery.

What is 42 Combat?

It's our cardio kickboxing class. HIIT intervals mixed with boxing and kickboxing combos on heavy bags, plus strength work with weights, bikes, ropes, and bands. 55 minutes. Burns anywhere from 500-900 calories depending on how hard you go. Nobody is fighting anybody. You hit bags, not people.

Do I need kickboxing experience?

No. The vast majority of people who walk in have never thrown a real punch. Your trainer breaks down every single combination and modifies everything for your level. By your third or fourth class you'll be stringing together combos that felt impossible on day one. Just bring 12oz boxing gloves and be ready to work.

How many calories does this actually burn?

500-900 per session. Depends on your size, effort level, and what the workout looks like that day. The HIIT structure keeps your heart rate elevated the whole time, and the afterburn effect means your metabolism stays cranked for hours after you leave. It's one of the highest calorie-burning workouts we offer and we offer a lot of workouts.

Is kickboxing good for weight loss?

Really good. The combo of cardio, strength, and HIIT intervals hits all the levers for fat loss at the same time. Add in nutrition coaching and you'll see serious changes within your first month. A lot of our members started with the 21-Day Kickstart and were hooked from there. Check out our full weight loss programs in La Quinta if that's your main goal.

Can I also do strength training and other classes?
