This really is a beautiful part of the island.

Phuket is home to some incredible 5-star hotels and resorts and you will have the opportunity to join us on excursions, whether it's taking advantage of the infinity pools or a superb lunch. The experience is well worth the added expense.
For the duration of your stay you will be staying close to camp, in an environment very much focused on training. Nicely secluded we escape distraction but should you want a night away there is plenty of good nightlife in and around Phuket Town, just a few minutes by taxi.
There’s a great atmosphere at the camp and everyone encourages each other to push hard.

The first thing to mention is that no two days will be the same. Also depending on your own personal fitness goals timetables can vary depending on the fitness programmes you select.
We are very proud of our roster of fitness trainers. We boast some of the top fitness trainers in the industry. Our trainers are from all over the world and have been hand-picked based on their experience and skill set.

Travelling alone
Most people who attend the camp, are independent travellers and arrive at the camp on their own. If you are concerned about traveling solo, don't be. There is such a social atmosphere at the camp, and it is a really supportive environment where everyone gets to know each other very quickly. Serious physical exercise in a group can be quite a bonding experience we assure you! So really it does not take long for people to get to know one another.

Realistic results and setting expectations
Due to the nature of the Thailand Bootcamp, we often get asked "What kind of results will I see?" This is an impossible question to answer because everyone is different. People have different metabolisms, different work rates and how long you stay for.
We have had some clients lose 80kg, but the reality is a lot depends on how dedicated you are and what your fitness goals are.
The most important thing to consider, is that you have an incredible opportunity to really make it happen.
You have all the facilities, support, encouragement, know how and plan to make it happen. If you apply yourself, give yourself time and you step out of your normal day-to-day environment, you will have every chance.
So what can you achieve? Well, it's down to you but we guarantee you that this is one of the best opportunities you will ever have to make your fitness goals happen.
Can I come on my own?
Yes! 90% of our clients join the boot camp on their own. In fact far from being a problem, we would encourage people to do so. It's a very social environment at the camp and you will make friends very quickly.
How long should I come for?
This is up to you and depends on how much time you have to devote to your training holiday. The vast majority of people wish they had trained for longer. Many people extend and it is not unusual for people to fly home and come back again several weeks later.
It's a fantastic opportunity to train. And because it's such a social atmosphere at the camp, it's a great way to meet people. We would advise trying to go for at least two weeks, although the average people spend at the camp is six.
In two weeks, we will give you a solid base to improve. You will learn all of the techniques and build quite an effective workout arsenal. You will physically feel better but if you want to see noticeable physical results, come for at least four weeks.

“It’s as hard as you make it. The programmes are awesome. The people even better. Great experience.” Bootcamp Client Ryan Hauser.
There’s a great atmosphere at the camp and everyone encourages each other to push hard. Everyone is very supportive and usually, the person who finishes last gets the most encouragement. Very different from working out in a normal gym. It’s really addictive!
Can I bring protein powder or supplements with me?
You can bring supplements with you, but please make sure these are clearly labelled. We also have our own Health Store on site where you can purchase supplements.
What happens at beach training?
Every Saturday the whole crew hit a beautiful beach and do an early workout. The perfect way to round of the week of intense training and enjoy paradise. Here is where we like to show our guest just exactly what makes this such a beautiful place to train. Not only do we offer great beach training classes but we also like to make sure you know all the best places for your daily runs, hikes, and general relaxation.
What is there to do when you are not training?
The training can be intense so it’s good to have your downtime as well. Typically Sunday is a rest day, and every couple of weeks we organize a new excursion for people to join. This can be visits to stunning beaches on some of the islands surrounding Phuket. Lunches in some of the beautiful high-class resorts in Phuket. Often we take full advantage of infinity pools and five-star hotels! These excursions are organized but not included in the cost of the programme. For instance, often you will have to pay for your lunch in one of the resort so expect to budget around $22 to $107 for this. But it’s well worth the expense when you see some of the locations we go to.
Supplements
Post-workout nutrition is a highly important factor whether you are looking to increase muscle mass or lose weight. So it’s good to know that there is a full range of health supplements, vitamins and pre, during and post-workout nutrition available at the camp. You are very welcome to bring this with you if you have a particular brand that you like, however, everything is available for you.
The main brands that we are carrying are optimum nutrition, muscle farm and muscle tech. If you are new to using workout supplements do not worry, we have expert nutritionists available to give you some guidance and appoint in the right direction. You obviously don’t need to use pre-and-post workout supplements if you don’t want to, but they can be very effective to help you hit your fitness goals a lot quicker. Pre-workout supplements can fire you up, maximize your endurance and keep you going during your workouts. Especially in Thailand with the pace of training is full-on and it is a very hot humid environment.
Post workout supplements are essential for help you repair damaged muscle tissue, enabling your body to recover quicker meaning you are ready to smash out your next workout the following day.
