Koh Samui Xmas Fitness Boot Camp: 7-Day Extreme Body Transformation

The daily shape of the week is set by the class timetable rather than a fixed itinerary. Sessions start at 6:30am and run through to 7:30pm, and you can pick your way through the full schedule or try to hit most of it. What's on offer across the week includes Yoga, Swimming, HIIT, Strength & Conditioning, TRX, Spinning, Cross Training, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Olympic Weight Lifting and Muay Thai — a mix of conditioning, strength and skill work rather than one single discipline. The one session that sits outside the gym timetable is a morning Jungle Hill beach workout, led by the camp's own trainer.

Training takes place at what the camp describes as one of the finest facilities in Thailand, inside a purpose-built retreat. As well as the 250sqm functional fitness area, there's a fully equipped gym with modern machines, plus functional training equipment. The 20m pool and sauna are on site, so recovery and extra swimming are easy to slot in around the class schedule.

The accommodation is in two villas sitting side by side in the hills of Lamai, roughly 5 minutes from the beach. Each villa has four private en-suite bedrooms with king beds, air conditioning, fridges and hot water showers, and the two villas share communal areas and gardens with jungle views. Daily maid cleaning is included, and laundry is available on request.

Meals are handled by the camp's own chef, three times a day, with food included only in the XTREME Results Package. Because the location is Lamai, you're also close enough to the beach and town to get out between sessions. The whole week is deliberately capped at 8 guests — the retreat page frames this as a discounted introductory package, so the group stays small and the trainers work with a handful of people rather than a crowd.

The dates are fixed at 27 December to 3 January, which is the detail that sets this apart from most fitness camps: it takes the week people normally spend overeating and drinking and turns it into structured training instead. The result is that you come out the other side of the holidays already partway into your training rather than starting from zero.
