FitKoh

Fitkoh has a great community in a beautiful environment, especially if you're into fitness and muay thai, def something everyone should experience at least once in their life. Samui surprised me and is a wonderful island that I fell in love with where I made long lasting friends, and Fitkoh introduced me to this for which I will always be thankful. As a product marketer, I do think there are improvement areas in the accommodation, customer service, overall product offering and the organization, especially if you are used to European standards. The food portions are small but extremely healthy and worth it, and the kitchen staff are simply the best. But what I will be focussing on in my review here is my experience with my trainers at Fitkoh.

I had three trainers: Martin during body transformation, Camila for a few sessions and all the HIIT classes and throughout the majority of my stay I had personal training with Arti for Fitness Premium. I think they are all great and I learned a lot from Martin and Cami, but since I trained most with Arti my review is mostly about her

Really, I cannot recommend Coach Arti enough. She is incredibly passionate about what she does and takes the time to customize every exercise to fit each individual's needs. Not only is she professional, but she is also sweet, open and humble, always seeking feedback and striving to improve herself. Coach Arti genuinely wishes the best for her clients and pushes them to get stronger. From full body workouts to endurance training, she covers it all. I used to find strength training boring, but with Coach Arti, it's like training with a friend. Thanks to her, I've become stronger and can see the results in my muscle growth and leaner physique. She even prepared exercises for me to do at home to maintain consistency. If you're looking for a fantastic strength training coach, look no further than Coach Arti!

Having said that, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the trainers though. Besides Arti, Martin, Cami there is Garreth and Gemma who I had for classes and they are as amazing. These coaches are all really cool and super nice in a sincere way so whomever you train with, I am sure you'll achieve your goals while having a great time!

I would like to give more than 5 stars!
This place is perfect: the quality of the training in all the programs (I did Muay Thai and loved it!), the kindness of the staff, the kindness and seriousness of the coaches, the cafe facing the sea, the excellent food, the calm of the neighborhood, the warm welcome from everyone I met. I stayed 5 weeks and I will come back as soon as possible. Thanks to FitKoh and Lionheart who are truly exceptional people and who have created a haven of peace for all those who wish to escape into the sport and beauty of a Thai island.

My FitKoh experience was first class.
The energy and friendliness of the staff and gym instructors was positive from the moment you enter the gym.
The service staff in the restaurants are faultless and attentive as are the admin staff in reception who cannot do enough to help you with any requests you may have.
The restaurant menu is all good clean healthy food prepared fresh from scratch and all macros are broken down to help you with your healthy choices.
All of the gym and PT classes are run by excellent well qualified instructors who make them fun whilst maintaining the focus on pushing you to do your best.
My personal training sessions with Gareth were excellent. This guy is very knowledgeable, talking me through all my exercises ensuring correct form but he also had me laughing all the time whilst ensuring he pushed me to my limits and beyond.
His instruction made a big difference to my FitKoh experience and I highly recommend him and will be requesting him as my PT on my next trip to FitKoh.
I loved this place so much I extended my trip from 4 weeks to 6 weeks.
I’ll be returning to FitKoh in the near future.
10 out of 10 guys.
Thanks for a great experience.

I’ve been to FitKoh twice now (April 2022 and Sept 2023) and signed up for the Muay Thai program each time. Everyone there from the staff to the trainers to the cafe staff are all accommodating and kind. Food was good and there you’ll meet all kinds of different people in a community which is nice, but you can also focus on your training if you want. I trained Muay Thai with Kru Chat and we’ve become good friends. He was a large part of the reason why I wanted to come back to FitKoh and Lionheart Muay Thai in 2023. Chat is an excellent technical trainer, and I’ve seen him train anyone from pure beginners to intermediate students and challenging them to learn more skills, to training top elite fighters who represent the gym. Have been to other gyms in Thailand before but the training under Chat has been the best. We have a lot of fun training and sparring together and it’s quite clear to everyone watching how much we enjoy it! If you’re thinking of joining the gym and choosing an excellent trainer Chat is really highly recommended. He’s also a good man and we’ve gone out on our off days together to feed stray dogs on the island. Khob khun krub Kru Chat!

The most important warning I can give you about Fitkoh is once you visit, you will never want to leave. You will soon be giving up your apartment, changing jobs, researching Thailand visa and stoking up on muay thai shorts. This little slice on heaven changed my life. I originally came for a short two week break to train muay thai. I fell in love with everyone so quickly, it was so unexpected. I cried profusely when I left. I spent two weeks in Sydney packing up my apartment and then booked a one way flight back to the island. To the Fitkoh team, they have created a beautiful space. Please do not think that this means the workouts are easy; they are not. I spent 6 weeks training with Nong B and the team, and I have never physically pushed myself so far, and I am a reasonably fit person. Whether you have just done a few classes or professional fighter, the team can adjust for you. I was a solo female traveler, I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. I highly, highly recommend. I now will visit as much as I can. Thank you to all the team.

Best place to stay and get fit in Koh Samui! Loved every minute

I had a fantastic time at FitKoh and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fitness holiday or for anyone looking to work remotely for a few weeks. I was in much need of a break having gotten a burnt out from work and Covid and FitKoh was exactly the reset my mind and body needed.

I trained with Tony and Martin who were both incredibly supportive during my time there. Also highly rate all the other fitness and Muay Thai trainers. There's no egos at FitKoh. Doesn't matter if you're a beginner or whatever level you're at, everyone is welcomed.

Also have to call out how fantastic the food is. Everyone raves about it. All the meals are so delicious and healthy, and there's great variety across the menu too so it never gets boring.

I had never done Muay Thai before and fell in love with the sport. Definitely recommend trying it out even if you've never done it before - you won't regret it!

10/10, will def be back!

Hugely recommended. I had originally intended to just spend two weeks at FitKoh, but I loved my time there so much that I kept returning and extending my stay! FitKoh strikes the perfect balance between intense and challenging workouts, sensational healthy food, a beautiful beachside location and an always welcoming, encouraging and positive atmosphere. I am so glad I came here and - whatever your goals or level of fitness may be - I cannot recommend it highly enough. A fantastic place with fantastic like-minded people.

If you are looking for a unique place for very active recreation and fitness vacations, this is the place for you.

I've spent 2 weeks at the camp in March and enjoyed every second. The classes at FitKoh are very varied, the trainers really excellent, the food absolutely delicious and the surroundings simply heavenly.

I would not like to leave unmentioned the wonderful spirit of the entire staff, which contributes to the fact that you feel simply welcome and comfortable as a guest.

I will definitely return to this unique place - like many other guests.

What an amazing place fitkoh is from the owners to the staff to some of the best Thai boxing training in Thailand from the chef's to the cleaning staff amazing people the owner Tony is a genius in designing a program that will help you weather its weight loss strength and conditioning program his knowledge will blow you with the results you will achieve I'll be definitely be back soon to this awesome gym and place

I spent a month at fitkoh on the Muay Thai package
The experience was more than I expected
The training is first rate, I had PT with Chat, a great guy, I learnt heaps
The place has a got a really friendly vibe. People go there for a whole bunch of reasons; Muay Thai training, getting fit, weight loss etc
The MT trainers are a very nice crew, some still competing, I went with a group to watch one of the trainers fight last week, which was a hoot
The food at the fitkoh cafe is amazing and healthy. The cafe is right on the beach and has a beautiful view across to Koh Phangan
Daily yoga likewise is right next to the beach
I’ll def come again

Don’t think twice, this is an amazing place, staff all around were amazing - from front desk, trainers (fitness and Muay Thai), and restaurant/cafe. All were always glad to accommodate, adjust, smile and provide top notch service. HIGHLY recommended, hope to be back soon

Fit Koh Is a great place to have a fitness holiday. I wanted to go to Koh Samui for a holiday but I didn’t want to just stay in a resort and drink cocktails all day and sit by the pool so I booked this camp to get up in the morning have a swim on the beach and train all day. The location is amazing it’s right on the beach the cafe is right on the beach and the gym is only a street away. Unlimited classes in a private Muay Thai session for a day was my package and 3 meals per day in the cafe on the beach. And a massage every day. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to do a training camp and enjoy the facilities and the location. I will do it again soon and I recommend it in a heartbeat.all the staff are amazing and the owner was very good to everyone. A lot of locals also go to train at this camp and it’s a great way to meet people.

Nice spot and good food but a Lime Shake 160 baht. Thats a whopping 5$ for a bit water and Lime. A bloody rip-off. Never again.

I cant describe the food was delicious I cant resist the food its art make not cooking, the place friendly the staff are great the chef Ronnie super master chef

Verry professionell,
The Food is the best.
The Service is exzellent,
and verry fast.
A good place for Training,
Relaxation an Beach.
The best place in Ban Tai.

Did the VIP fitness package with my husband. Both loved the experience. I had Tony as a PT and he was great. Patient and experienced and helped me to work through some serious mobility issues. My husband had Martin, who was also fab. Upbeat and kind and motivational and dedicated. Great place. Chilled. Not super luxury but a place for good honest hard work. The gym is not all bells and whistles (not gadgety) but has absolutely everything you need for interesting and effective workouts. The muay thai guys are fun and good trainers. The location is quiet and beach side. If you're into partying and can't drive a scooter, this will feel remote. But if you want quiet or can drive a scooter then super easy and fab location. We stayed in the beach bungalows which are totally fine. Fall asleep with the sounds of waves. The food at the cafe was plentiful and yum. The massage lady was strong and very good! We really enjoyed it and will be back.

Best place to train on the island for Muay Thai, Strength training, Metcon and yoga. Lovely cafe as well. People of all ages and fitness levels can train here and the coaches and Krus are great! Shout out to PBig, PKuat and the staff of Fitkoh.

What an amazing experience! My husband and I did the Muay Thai program for three weeks in February and couldn't believe the transformation in such a short time (in skill and physique). The trainers are all really nice and fun to work with but also push you hard to do your best. The classes tended to be anywhere from six to fifteen people during our stay, with usually one or two other women; I never felt uncomfortable. You get so much one-on-one time with the trainers the value for the cost is exceptional. The gym has many heavy bags and is fully equipped with extra wraps and gloves if needed. I also participated in two of the jungle hikes and had a great time. The hikes were quite challenging but manageable, and the views at the end were spectacular. I can't recommend this gym/program enough. If we make it back to Thailand we will definitely be signing up again!

During summer break, I booked a week with Fitkoh to make sure I wasn’t lazy for the whole month. I loved it so much I rearranged my schedule to come back for another week at the end of my break. Both times I came solo with the VIP Fitness package.
While the workouts & food were the reason I came, I returned due to the welcoming/friendly environment that made me feel at ease (this coming from someone who used to have severe panic attacks in social situations). This place really makes sure everyone is take care of; if there are any questions or someone needs something, just speak up & someone will help out.
The workouts are top notch and the trainers know what they are talking about. I exercise regularly but having 2-3 sessions a day definitely had me sore in all the right places. I mainly focused on their HIIT, metcon & strength classes but can also say with confidence that their muay thai classes had some of the best trainers I’ve seen in Thailand. The yoga instructor they had also added the perfect amount of recovery to my body.
My highlight. Fitkoh Cafe! Ronnie & his team are AMAZING! Even if you are not working out, please stop by here to eat some delicious food. After a hard workout, I was always rewarded with something yummy; & anything I pretty much wanted, they figured out. My favorites were the acai bowl, egg & avo, chicken wrap, and grilled salmon with anything! I truly wish they delivered to Bangkok. Foodpanda should figure that out:)
A small side note, while I was on Samui, it was going through difficult times due to the lack of tourists during the pandemic. Even though Fitkoh probably had less clients, they regularly delivered food to those in need on the island. To me, that says something special about a company & really drives home how much they take care of their community not only in the gym, but on the island. Personally, I will always support companies that have their priorities straight.
A huge THANK YOU to Tony, Winnie, Pavel, Ronnie, Martin, Adam, & everyone else who is part of the Fitkoh team that made my summer memorable! I am already trying to figure out when I can get down here again for another butt kickin’ session.

I came to FitKoh after nearly a decade of creating technology startups and experiencing serious burnout. I blasted through my 20s in high pressure jobs and situations in New York and San Francisco, neglecting my body, mind, and soul. I had gotten myself in a really bad way with my eating, drinking, fitness, and lack of overall routine. I had constant lower back pain that would keep me up all night every night, tossing and turning. I rarely smiled.

Then I came to FitKoh.

My experience at FitKoh, and with Tony as a trainer, was truly life changing. I started with the one month body transformation, and extended for another month after that! I highly recommend at least a month but if you can give yourself three, please do. You won't want to leave. I went from someone who slept through, ignored, or missed gym sessions or personal training sessions to looking forward with excitement to the workout classes, yoga classes, and personal training sessions every day. Meal planning and counting macros not only helped me eat healthier (and more), but also helped me learn to structure my day around a healthy routine and mindset. While I didn't necessarily go to FitKoh for the body transformation part of the "body transformation" package, I ended up losing almost 10% body fat and gained significant muscle strength and definition.

The coolest part was that after two weeks of working on my glutes, my back pain disappeared and I could sleep through the night.

Tony was an incredible trainer and this experience has helped me reconnect with myself, build confidence, and smile again. The community element of FitKoh is truly incredible, and I met a lot of lifelong friends both with the guests and the staff.

Thank you to everyone who was a part of the journey! I know it's just the beginning, and I'm happy to say that I am already doing F45 Classes at home while continuing my healthy eating and strength training.

I'll be back!
