    Having initially booked a one month programme at fitkoh I ended up staying for two months seeing how beneficial and enjoyable this life experience was for me. This was helped tremendously by coach Arti who was supportive and caring in her approach to helping me reach my goals. She is professional, hardworking and very friendly; a highly likeable character and very popular around the camp. Thank you again to her and all at Fitkoh for welcoming me to a place I’ll surely come back to.

    I already stayed twice at Fitkoh (accommodation was private, so no rating for the rooms) to lose weight, improve my strength and overall fitness. My fitness coach was Arti, she also had to fight some extra kilos in her past life, so she knew exactly where I was coming from and where I wanted to go. She took the time to understand my fitness level and adjusted the exercises to suit my needs. Her knowledge of fitness, combined with her motivating personality, made each session challenging yet fun. I highly recommend Coach Arti to anyone serious about achieving their fitness goals. My Muay Thai Coach was Nong B, the "Tsunami Knee Striker" a great fighter & champion that has become a great trainer! His technical expertise and personalized coaching helped me to improve my fitness level and confidence. My kicks and combinations have improved significantly and motivated me when I was back home to continue the training. Whether you´re a beginner or an experienced fighter, Kru Nong B is the one to train with. Last but not least, a big thank you to Bonnie & Kom excellent yoga teachers (PT with Kom are amazing), Gareth nutrition and boxing coach, thanks mate had so much fun, grazie mille Camila for your fitness classes, Tarn & Sanya at the reception thanks for your ongoing dedication, Sasa, Kate & the whole Team of the Fitkoh Cafe, thank you for the delicious dishes and especially for your warm welcoming dedicated service and lovely smiles, Tony & Hannah thanks for making Fitkoh and Lionheart so much more than just a fitness camp.

    Best part of our Thailand trip was Fit Koh in Koh Samui. Everything was perfect. Food, jiu jitsu and everyone was so friendly. We fried Muay Thai for the first time and was so good there was no pressure at all being a first timer. Definitely wanting to come back for a longer stay!

    If you’re looking for a proper Muay Thai getaway with the most stunning back drop imaginable, look no further than Lionheart / FitKoh. All of the trainers are extremely knowledgeable and cater the sessions to your level of experience. The kitchen and hospitality staff in the connected restaurants and accommodation go above and beyond to make your stay very welcoming and the healthy meals are absolutely amazing. Ban Tai is a beautiful part of the island and far away from the distractions in the tourist heavy Chaweng area. Highly recommended if you are looking to focus on yourself and hit some fitness goals.

    Went with husband and grandson who trains and fights pro am Muay Thai. Training facilities were excellent with a great Muay Thai training program. There were other various fitness programs run via Fitkoh to accommodate people who wanted a to improve their fitness and general wellbeing with lots of experienced trainers. Food was excellent and very nutritionally balanced. Accommodation was great as we were on site right next to the gym. Location was great only 10 minutes away from fisherman’s village. My grandson is looking forward to returning there again soon as are we.

I have written many good reviews before but never a bad one. There is a first time for everything.

I came to Fitkoh for my third time and was planning on a 10 month fitness journey. I have always considered this to be “my happy place”and my “home away from home”. It had a personal touch and presence by the owner, Tony, and a family feel, not to mention great fitness classes and trainers that kept me coming back. When I came back in 2021 I was so happy to see it survived Covid and it was still going strong. I even left a testimonial on their website which I will request to be removed because I can no longer recommend Fitkoh as a fitness destination.

Half way through my journey the owner, Tony, decided to change the packages. The package I was currently on was removed. The owner went on vacation and left a new employee to do his dirty work of letting his current clients know. This did not only affect me, there were many clients, foreigners and locals that chose to leave. The new plans were “pay for an expensive package (extremely overpriced) which includes meals, and pay up front”. The food is delicious, however, expecting some to eat the same meals for ten months is ridiculous especially when they never change the menu. After a four year relationship it would have been nice to hear it from the owner himself. Instead, he never had a discussion with me in person but told other clients and employees that we had discussed this whilst putting words in my mouth which were flat out lies! Maybe an option would be to let current clients finish their journey and new clients adhere-to the new packages.

This is not my only complaint. Because of the archaic way of managing the business accounting, my bill was wrong every month when payment was due. I could go on from cockroaches and bugs in my room (I was told this is “island life”) to non existent customer service. If you’re looking to gain weight or lose weight there is no nutritional guidance. Also, there is a lot of gossip and drama amongst the employees and clients which does not result in the relaxing zen environment I have had in my prior two journeys.

There are still good things about Fitkoh, the kitchen staff is beyond pleasant and accommodating and the classes and trainers remain top notch.

Today, it is my honest opinion that Fitkoh no longer has that personal touch or family feel that made it unique. I flew from the United States to Thailand and had the entire fitness journey planned just to have it turned upside down. I was heart broken and now leave Thailand terribly disillusioned about Fitkoh! Tony was the main draw of Fitkoh, but he has abdicated his role and checked out from leading Fitkoh. I cannot in good conscience recommend Fitkoh as a fitness destination!

Hi Darla, We take your comments on board regarding our accounting services, billing and customer service. As a growing business, we are striving to do better and meet the expectations of return and new guests. As most people can appreciate, businesses change over time which includes service offering, pricing, turnover of employees etc. It is simply inaccurate to say that there is no nutritional guidance and that it is not possible to lose weight at FitKoh. We have many clients who have lost in excess of 20 kilos, including yourself. The level of nutritional guidance depends on which program is selected. Our Body Transformation clients all get bespoke meal plans, Fitness premium clients all receive a nutrition consultation, and for those on our other programs, we have the calories and macros for every dish displayed on our menus. With regards the changes to our programs, following a review of our business and other offerings in the market, we made the decision to change our program terms and conditions. The driving factor for these changes was to ensure quality and fairness amongst our community and to maintain a high standard of service at facilities, most specifically our classes. We are lucky to have many return customers and it did not seem fair to have inconsistencies in our pricing for various groups of returning guests. We also wanted to prevent overcrowding in our classes. We did not increase our prices and in fact, turned away a lot of business in our efforts to keep the standard of service and coaching at FitKoh high. These changes were rolled out to new customers from October and all current guests were given one month's notice and were allowed to see out the end of any programs which had been previously paid for. In your case, you were given the option to continue with your previously agreed program until December when our high season commenced. With regards to our restaurants, we are sorry to hear you were not pleased with the overall experience. However, FitKoh’s menu is not designed to host someone 3 times a day for 10 months. It is safe to assume that anyone would get bored eating only the same food every day for such a long period no matter what restaurant they're eating at. The majority of our guests stay for approx 4 - 6 weeks and so it is not practical for us to customise our model to suit a minority. Finally, Tony and Hannah have spent many years building FitKoh to what it is today and are proud of the community that has grown around it. We appreciate the affection and good memories that many people feel towards the early, "start up" days of FitKoh. However, with growth comes change, as is the case with many family run businesses that are in a position to scale. Tony has not abdicated his role at FitKoh. His focus is now behind the scenes in operations which involes managing our fitness teams and improving our facilities. This has allowed our team of trainers to grow, all of whom we are very proud of. We are sorry to hear that your feelings towards FitKoh have changed and have taken your feedback on board.

I had high expectations for FitKoh, but my experience was nothing short of a nightmare.

From the moment I arrived, it was a disaster. My flight was delayed, and despite trying to inform them three hours before my scheduled arrival—calling and messaging six different numbers—no one answered. As a result, I was charged double for a taxi because the original driver showed up while I wasn’t there, and I had no way to inform them. Absolute negligence.

When I finally got there, there was zero introduction, no guidance, nothing. Just a quick "go to a class" and being dumped in my room. The Muay Thai trainers were world-class, but the overall management and hospitality were a complete joke. Basic things—like how to check into classes, the need to cancel if you can’t attend, or even general camp rules—were never communicated.

The food situation was a total scam. If you swap an item, like adding an egg, it magically becomes an "extra meal." A Coke is considered a meal. The portions were ridiculously small, and when I substituted rice, tofu, and mango for a single egg, I was charged for two meals. It felt like they were just squeezing every last cent out of people.

One of the most disturbing parts of my stay was when they organized for us to watch one of their fighters. They arranged a taxi there but failed to arrange one back. When I asked about return transport, Sonali assured me there would be taxi stands—this was a complete lie. I was left stranded at 1 am. Not wanting to go out with the others, I had nowhere to go. I downloaded the Grab app, praying it would be a safe option, but the only available ride was a bike taxi. What followed was absolutely horrifying—the driver harassed me the entire way, stroking my hand, moving it across his chest, making me feel sick and terrified. I immediately reported him to Grab, and thankfully, he has since been suspended. But that didn't change the fact that I had to get off 20 minutes away and walk alone through pitch-black darkness to the camp. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life.

To top it all off, there is no security. None. And the so-called "emergency" contact numbers? They do not work. If something happens, you are completely on your own. The lack of safety measures at FitKoh is beyond shocking.

I would never recommend FitKoh. This place is a scam, designed to milk money from unsuspecting visitors while offering zero regard for their safety. Stay away at all costs.

Completed 6 days of training. If you are a fitness/martial arts enthusiast look no further. Expect to do 3 a days (2 classes, 1 one solo trainer session). You will sweat buckets (even in February). While the trainers are positive and encouraging to all levels, what you put in is what you get out. They're many trainers who respond with more enthusiasm to higher effort levels. If you are a serious fighter/martial artist, arrange with management to find the trainer(s) to give you the work and technical instruction you want. 'Non' was a great fit for me, giving me love marks to show he cared. But you don't have to spar or be struck at all to reap big benefits of hard effort. Gym is self contained, pretty much has it all with extremely good-clean food made right there. The lounging area has great beanbags in the shade under fans. Easy to socialize or just be alone. I lived in the gym for 6 days and found it painful to leave. Therapy massages were great and probably what kept me going. Downside - not much. It's busy, so express what your goals are to get the desired guidance. At least a month is recommended if available. Can cost a lot to get to Thailand, but not much when there. 7-11s inexpensively covers most of your living needs. Many food choices outside of location. A secondary facility is located on an elevated position over the coast line and open for use and eating. A much healthier and more simple existence than modern western consumer pressure and bills. Some people (I guess without obligations) don't leave.

Buyer beware! Fitkoh agreed to a plan for me to bring a group in November 2023. Fast forward to November, Fitkoh's two managers who had ironed out the details are long gone and the current manager says the plan is a no go. (This after many, many calls and emails from my side.) I had to refund money galore. This incredible lack of follow through really shows what a poorly run business this is. Further, Fitkoh has $1,000 of my money and has yet to give it back. I would be VERY careful about making any kind of advanced payment. Every time I reach out, there is some other excuse forthcoming. Still waiting for the $1,000 refund which is likely never to come.

I did the Muay Thai premium program for six weeks with no prior Muay Thai experience and loved it!! Such a fun way to work out and get serious results in a short amount of time! The food was SO GOOD and healthy. The location is divine. I went solo but made amazing friends. The biggest game changer was the personal training. My coach, First, worked with me to expand on what I learned in the classes and customized our sessions so they were great workouts that grew my knowledge of Muay Thai and skills! 100% recommend, I will definitely be back to do this program again!

I booked the VIP Muay Thai program for a month. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 I wasn't able to enjoy the whole of it, but still it was one of the best experiences of my life.

To take into account:
The booking process was a bit tricky, not sure if it was a language barrier, but the person on the other side of the email kept sending me the description of the programs that I could easily access on the website, and not actually answering any of my questions, which was a bit annoying.

I was also told they don't provide insurance, so if you get injured, it's up to you to have your own. What I found was that the majority of brokers don't cover Muay Thai, so make sure that you call whichever insurance company and you can pay a premium for it.

The 3 meals a day - it means they provide 3 items from the menu/day. So if you order a coffee in the morning with your breakfast, then have another two meals, you'll have to pay it separately.

Good stuff:
You won't come to a better place to train. Both the fitness trainers and the Muay Thai trainers are incredibly friendly and the best at their jobs.

You will feel super welcome and immediately get stuck into the lovely community.

It was one of the best experiences ever and I'll come back as soon as I can!
Also, if you want a proper change, I'd say book for 6 weeks minimum, you won't regret it!

Thank you to the whole staff at Fitkoh (Winnie, Pam, Tony, Big, Kom, Kop, Terd, Q, Moo, Ronnie, Minnie, Poppy...) for an incredible time. See you soon!

This is the first review I’m writing an online review for anything as it’s the first time I’ve been so impressed and moved by something so much that I felt compelled to do so.

I came here as a escape of what was going with my life, not knowing quiet what to expect and it’s simply been amazing in every way imaginable.
What makes Fitkoh a beautiful place is really a combination of factors.
From the genuine friendliness of the entire staff,to the professionalism and knowledge of the trainers to the tropical paradise it’s located on to the interesting people that come and go here from all corners of the world.

I don’t ever remember having met so many interesting people from all walks of life, from all corners of the world in such short span of time.
I think the fantastic team Tony has brought together at Fitkoh has managed to attract some fantastic clients too.

I’ve truly been pleasantly surprised and have also surprised my self with what I can physically achieve in such short span of time, and I know i couldn’t have done it with out being in this environment.
I have also now gained the confidence to set higher goals and higher gains and know that I’m just a bit of hard work away from achieving them.
Something that wasn’t even in my head just 6 weeks ago.

To all the wonderful and welcoming staff and Fitkoh,thank you!
And a big thank you to Tony who I have done personal training with for the past nearly 6 weeks and could not ask for better results and could not be happier.
Thank you all and you certainly have not seen the last of me.

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.

Great overall experience at FITKOH! The food is amazing I couldn’t get enough of it, the trainers and the staff are the nicest people to be around, it’s like one big family. They make you feel so welcome :)

I’ve been working with Tony and the Fitkoh team for three months and I’m delighted with the results. I’m 54 and have outstanding issues with my hip following a less than optimal outcome on the back of hip surgery. Tony has put together a bespoke and targeted personal training schedule which is challenging but also enjoyable. Tony is a stickler for detail when it comes to technique and is often making adjustments to my routine and offering positive words of encouragement. The Fitkoh team and training environment is conducive to making meaningful and permanent lifestyle change.

If COVID has got the better of you and you are looking to improve your mental and physical well-being then Fitkoh is the place for you.

It's amazing to hear that our team was able to offer you an extensive training programme to optimise your fitness journey! Tony himself is a perfectionist when it comes to training and pays particular attention to detail when he is made aware of any injuries that a guest may have. This dedication and years of experience are what makes the fitkoh team as exceptional as they are and we are so happy to here that your experience was so positive and rewarding... We look forward to seeing and training you again!!!
