A normal training day starts early with a cardio or HIIT session, then breakfast, then Muay Thai. Late morning is usually a workshop or a Performance Prep session. After lunch there's a break for the pool, the steam room or the beach. The afternoon brings strength work, another Muay Thai class or a Pilates/mobility session, and dinner wraps things up. Two or three times a week there's Aqua Fit in the pool instead of a land session. One morning a week is a beach bootcamp on the sand. Sundays are deliberately lighter: a group walking trek, a cooking class with the culinary team and a PhuketFit-organised excursion.

The two programmes cost the same but are weighted differently. Total Fitness is aimed at building strength, endurance and general performance. A week includes 3 Performance Prep, 6 HIIT, 6 strength/hypertrophy, 4 Pilates/mobility/yoga, 12 Muay Thai and 2 Aqua Fit sessions. Weight Loss pushes the volume up, to 9 HIIT, 9 strength, 18 Muay Thai and 3 Aqua Fit sessions a week. It also adds more nutrition teaching: 4 nutrition classes plus a nutrition Q&A each week. Longer Weight Loss stays get extra body scans, one at day 7, day 14 and day 21 as well as at the start and end. There's also a Couples Program if you're coming with a partner and want to train together on matched plans.

The tracking is a big part of why people pick this place. The Fit3D scanner gives you a 3D model of your body, with figures for fat, muscle mass and posture, at the beginning and end of your stay. On the Weight Loss programme, the Garmin heart-rate system shows your training zone live during morning cardio and saves each session to your PhuketFit app. The app also holds your meal log and macro targets, and it suggests recovery based on your data. Weekly workshops cover nutrition, exercise technique and how to use the app, plus a Q&A. The point is that you leave knowing how to keep going at home, not just having been told what to eat for a week.

The page doesn't name individual coaches. It describes a team of local and international health and fitness professionals, and an Executive Chef who runs the kitchen. Everything is done in-house, with no outsourced trainers or caterers. Classes stay small, at a maximum of 15. The coaching style leans towards injury prevention, mobility and recovery rather than flattening people. Each week you get two vouchers: one for a private session with a coach (or a consultation), and one for a private Muay Thai session or a massage.

The resort sits at the base of Promthep Cape, at the southern end of the island, away from the Patong crowds. Rawai Beach, where you can catch the sunrise, is 300 metres away. Ya Nui Beach, the better one for swimming and sunsets, is about 1 km away. Laem Promthep, the famous clifftop viewpoint, is about a 20-minute hike and doubles as a training route. The team can also arrange a shuttle bus if you want to see more of Phuket on your days off.

What sets PhuketFit apart from other Thai fitness camps is that it's one self-contained operation. You sleep, eat and train in the same place, and the same team runs all three. It's also openly not a party camp. The guests are a mix of first-timers, athletes, solo travellers, couples and the occasional corporate group, all there to train and sleep properly. Average stays run two to three weeks, so there's usually a settled group who know each other by the time you arrive.
