I came to Atomic Kickboxing because I always wanted to try Kickboxing. I was so nervous before I went and I wasn't sure I would be able to handle the classes. All of the staff is super knowledgeable, friendly and know exactly how to help people of all experience levels. I signed up, bought a pair of their gloves (which were much better quality than what I was finding online) and the next day I started attending classes. The classes were fun, the leaders of the class made sure everyone was keeping up and practiced good form and the gym was SO clean! I would highly recommend these classes to anyone, especially if you are a newbie!

I was a member at Atomic Kickboxing since before COVID and have loved it! This is the only workout I have found in years that I am actually motivated to give 110% and have stuck with, seeing real results. There are many class options so I can pick what suits me that day, and all the instructors have been knowledgeable and inspirational. They always take the time during class to make sure form is on point and push me to work harder. Atomic Kickboxing has made me feel stronger and more confident than ever!

My experience with this organization was great! the instructors are very hands-on and help you along to try bettering your form of the techniques they show you! i have felt very comfortable every time i showed up for class and it was never a dull moment. i can say there are definitely more women then men each class lol (power to all women). The workouts and the lessons will have you very sweaty, but that’s the point because it makes you feel good about losing weight and calories. I noticed a difference in my body after the first week and i had more energy after the first few times that i have participated in the program. This class is definitely worth it and it will teach you a lot about self defense. i recommend everyone to sign up, no matter how old you are. You won’t regret it!

I have been doing kickboxing on and off for the last 10 years across 4 different states. Atomic Kickboxing has been in the top 3 gyms favorite I have gone to. Every member of the staff is super friendly and engaged - of course to the degree that you reciprocate. Each trainer has their own twist, exercises, and music, but the structure of the classes are the same. They are purposefully challenging to transform your body, but beginner friendly enough to go at your own pace. After years of not exercising, I started at Atomic and could barely make it through a class. But I was able to stick with it, with some breaks, and get myself to lose over 35lbs. The hardest part is starting, but the classes become addicting the more you do it and the community/motivation from the instructors and other members helps you stay accountable. Would recommend to anyone who is serious about committing to change and wants to have an exercise they are passionate about.

Absolutely love Automic Kickboxing! When I heard about them by my best friend saying how much she enjoys the classes. I had to give it a try! My first class I was pretty nervous. It was new to me, however the team made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The classes never left me feeling like I didn’t get a good workout in. I was sore in all the right places( The good kind of sore). The gym is very clean all equipment is sanitized at end of the class. The team is fantastic, motivating, and care. With that being said about caring I had to cancel with them due to a dear family member getting sick and costing me and family to take care of his medical bills they were very understanding and waved the cancellation fee ( I will be going back after my loved one gets better) or If I didn’t make it to the classes the team would reach out to make sure everything was okay and to see when I would be back in class. They also put together extra social activities for the clients at snookers. In all I’ve been to many gyms though my life and Automic kickboxing is the most inviting and fun!!!

Kickboxing for Cardiovascular Health

August 13, 2025

Your heart is the engine of your body, and keeping it strong and healthy is essential for overall well-being. Cardiovascular health affects everything from your energy levels to your longevity, making it one of the most important aspects of fitness.

If you’re looking for an exciting way to improve your heart health while enjoying a full-body workout, kickboxing is an excellent choice. At Atomic Kickboxing, located at 880 Eddy St., Providence, RI, our classes combine high-intensity cardio with strength-building techniques to create a heart-pumping workout that’s both fun and effective.

What is Cardiovascular Health?

Cardiovascular health refers to the condition of your heart, blood vessels, and overall circulatory system. A strong cardiovascular system ensures that your body gets the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function efficiently.

Good cardiovascular health is associated with:

  • Lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
  • Improved endurance and energy levels.
  • Better circulation and blood pressure control.
  • Enhanced overall physical performance.

One of the best ways to maintain or improve cardiovascular health is through regular physical activity that challenges your heart and lungs.

How Kickboxing Supports Heart Health

Kickboxing is a high-intensity workout that engages your entire body, making it an excellent way to boost your cardiovascular fitness.

High-Intensity Cardio
Kickboxing keeps your heart rate elevated throughout the class. From the moment you start the warmup to the final cool-down stretch, your heart works hard to supply oxygen to your muscles.

This sustained effort strengthens your heart, improving its ability to pump blood more efficiently. Over time, this leads to a lower resting heart rate, increased endurance, and reduced risk of heart-related conditions.

Interval Training for Maximum Impact
Most kickboxing classes incorporate elements of interval training, alternating between high-intensity bursts and short recovery periods. This type of workout is highly effective for improving cardiovascular health, as it challenges your heart to adapt to varying levels of effort.

These classes are designed to keep your heart rate fluctuating, which helps improve your body’s ability to recover quickly and handle physical stress. The combination of intense effort followed by brief rest periods enhances endurance, making your cardiovascular system stronger over time.

Full-Body Engagement
Unlike some cardio exercises that focus on a single muscle group (like running or cycling), kickboxing works your entire body. Punching, kicking, and defensive movements require coordination between your arms, legs, core, and more. This comprehensive engagement means your heart has to work harder to deliver oxygen-rich blood to multiple areas of your body, enhancing overall cardiovascular fitness.

The Long-Term Benefits of Cardiovascular Fitness

Improving your cardiovascular health has both immediate and long-term benefits for your overall quality of life.

Increased Energy Levels
A strong heart pumps blood more efficiently, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your muscles and brain. This improved circulation translates into higher energy levels, making it easier to tackle your daily tasks and enjoy activities outside the gym.

Better Endurance
As your cardiovascular fitness improves, you’ll notice increased stamina during workouts and daily activities. Whether it’s climbing stairs, playing with your kids, or completing a challenging kickboxing combination, you’ll feel less fatigued and more capable.

Reduced Risk of Chronic Disease
Regular cardio exercise, like kickboxing, significantly reduces the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. By strengthening your heart and improving circulation, you’re investing in your long-term health and longevity.

Kickboxing vs. Traditional Cardio Workouts

Many people turn to traditional cardio exercises like running, cycling, or swimming to improve heart health. While these are effective, kickboxing offers unique advantages that make it a standout option.

  1. Variety and Engagement
    Kickboxing keeps your mind and body engaged with constantly changing combinations and techniques. This variety not only prevents boredom but also ensures you’re challenging your cardiovascular system in new ways.
  2. Efficiency
    Kickboxing combines cardio and strength training into one workout, saving you time while delivering comprehensive fitness benefits. In just one class, you’ll build endurance, burn calories, and strengthen your muscles.
  3. Stress Relief
    Cardio workouts like running or cycling may leave you feeling accomplished, but few can match the stress-relieving power of kickboxing. Punching and kicking help release tension, while the endorphins released during class leave you feeling refreshed and empowered.

Kickboxing for All Fitness Levels

One of the great things about kickboxing is its accessibility. You can start as a beginner or jump in as an experienced athlete, and kickboxing can be tailored to suit your fitness level.

Instructors ensure that every class is welcoming and inclusive. Beginners focus on mastering basic movements and building endurance, while more advanced participants push their limits with higher intensity and more complex techniques.

This adaptability makes kickboxing an ideal workout for improving cardiovascular health, no matter where you start.
