Complete Guide to Gyms & Fitness Options Across Phuket (2026)

After spending a couple of years exploring fitness options across Phuket, I thought I'd share a comprehensive breakdown that might help anyone looking for gyms, training camps, or studios on the island.

By Training Type

Muay Thai (40+ camps)
Concentrated in the Rawai/Chalong area, especially around Soi Ta-iad ("Fighter Street"). Prices range from 400 to 800 THB per session, or 8,000 to 25,000 THB per month. Most camps welcome beginners and offer trial classes.

Standard Gyms (50+)
Found island-wide. Day passes typically 150 to 400 THB, monthly memberships 1,500 to 4,000 THB. Patong has the most variety, but every area has at least a few options now.

Yoga Studios (20+)
Kata, Kamala, and Rawai have the best selection. Drop-in classes run 300 to 500 THB. Some offer outdoor sessions with ocean views, which is a nice bonus.

CrossFit (6-8 boxes)
The CrossFit scene is growing. WOD drop-in around 400 to 600 THB, monthly unlimited 3,500 to 6,000 THB.

Personal Training
Available at most gyms. Rates vary from 800 to 2,500 THB per session depending on the trainer and location. Freelance trainers are often cheaper than gym-affiliated ones.

By Area

Patong: Most options for standard gyms, easy walking distance from hotels.
Rawai/Chalong: Best for Muay Thai and serious training. The highest concentration of camps anywhere on the island.
Kata/Karon: Good mix of options, quieter atmosphere.
Kamala/Surin: Premium options, some really nice yoga studios.
Phuket Town: Local gyms with the best prices. Getting better every year.

Tips from Experience

1. Always ask about trial sessions before committing to a monthly membership

2. Many gyms offer a free first session

3. Prices are negotiable for longer stays (3+ months)

4. Avoid signing up during your first visit in tourist areas, as walk-in prices tend to be higher

5. Ask about the AC situation. Some gyms turn it off during quiet hours to save on electricity

I've been helping compile a directory of all these options at roamfit.net if anyone wants to browse and compare before visiting. It covers 700+ gyms, studios, and training camps across the island with prices and amenities.
