Thailand (Phuket)
Fitness Bootcamp

The camp is located in the south-central part of Phuket, in Chalong. This is about 10 minutes by taxi from the beaches. It's close to Chalong Temple and is a beautiful part of the island. Away from tourist overcrowding, the training facility backs on to the Thai jungle and is overlooked by the big Buddha off to the distance.

Chances are you will have had a pretty long flight, but don’t worry we will have an Ultimate Fitness Holidays representative waiting at the airport for you to meet you off your flight. We will transfer you to your chosen accommodation where you can settle in and relax. Usually, arrival is on a Sunday so you can start your training on Monday morning.

Our rep will come and introduce herself to you Sunday evening and on Monday morning, prior to starting your training, you will get a tour of the training facilities where you are introduced to your trainers and the rest of the group currently training. Details of who this will be will be in your pre-departure pack issued prior to arrival.

In our experience, even the most nervous of travellers have been quickly welcomed and felt part of the group very quickly. You will feel right at home, so do not worry about travelling alone we are here for you.

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.

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.

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.

Pack light but do bring suitable training gear. Remember you will be training in the heat. Thailand is very humid all throughout the year so suitable clothing is essential. Don't worry if you forget anything though, most things can be purchased locally.

We will also provide you with a detailed kit list prior to arriving.

Absolutely. We advise you to book well ahead because we do book out frequently. You can hold your place on the programme with a deposit of just €200. You will need to pay the full balance 12 weeks prior to arrival.

Alternatively, you can take advantage of an interest-free payment plan so you can book for only €39. Your full payment will be made 12 weeks prior to departure, so payment plans are applicable if you are travelling within six months but not within three months of arrival.

This means you still have three months to save the spending money, (not that you need much), and flights after you have cleared your full balance. So even if payday seems a long way away, and it seems like an almost impossible task to get the money together to do this, it doesn’t have to be. You can book for just €200. Consider that a commitment to yourself and start your fitness journey.

Yes,  you can track calories and macros from the healthy menu. We have 25 different healthy dishes to choose from and you will learn more about that at the nutrition seminar.

Food is included in the programme, 2 healthy nutritious meals per day. This consists of Breakfast and either Lunch or Dinner. The meal plan is specially designed to complement your fitness training goals. Whether you want to lose weight, tone up or build muscle our menu has all the combinations you could ask for.

What about the extra meal? There is a wide selection of healthy restaurants and eateries close to the camp. These have sprung up to service the needs of our clients and are therefore tailor-made for people focusing on their fitness.

Eating out is not expensive in Thailand, expect to pay around €3 - €5 per meal meaning you would only need to budget around €40 - €50 per week extra to cover your food.

Please note the meals are not transferable so if you miss out on a  meal these are not redeemable the next day.

No matter what your fitness goals, with a varied selection of fitness programmes available you will reach them. Here's a few of our classes...

“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!

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.  

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.

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 organise 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 organised 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 €20 to €100 for this. But it’s well worth the expense when you see some of the locations we go to.

In order to enter the country you will need to show proof of vaccination against Covid-19 and a negative PCR test.

Please note if booking the standard option you will need to stay one night in a SHA level hotel. We can recommend one for you. If you are booking the boutique option you will not need to quarantine as this is SHA listed.
