Plug Types:
- Type A (2-prong): This is the same as what you use in the USA, and it is compatible with many outlets in Thailand.
- Type B (3-prong): Also used in the USA, but not all outlets in Thailand will accept this plug.
- Type C (2-prong): This is commonly used in Europe and is also widely compatible with outlets in Thailand.
- Type O (3-prong): This is the official standard in Thailand. It is designed for devices that need grounding, but most outlets will also accept Type A and Type C plugs.
Our Recommendation:
- Adapters: You can use Type A, Type C, or Type O adapters in Thailand. To ensure flexibility and grounding where needed, consider bringing both a Type A/C adapter and a Type O adapter.
- Voltage Converter: If any of your devices are not dual voltage (110V-220V), you’ll need a voltage converter to safely use them in Thailand.
This is entirely optional and down to your discretion. We include a 10% service charge (already factored into the price of our programs) so our staff receive a monthly service charge amount.
However, if you feel that you have received exceptional 'tip-worthy' service, then you may feel you want to tip. In this case you can either place in any designated tip box. i.e restaurant and this will be divided up between the F&B staff - only.
In the past, any guest who wishes to pass on a tip for all the staff, money is given to HR/Accounting and they split up among all the staff.
However, it is not mandatory, nor is it expected from our staff. 🙂
Absolutely, typically guests who only come for a short duration like 7-10 days always feel that they do not want to take a break from training. However, any duration over 10 days we strongly advise this to let your muscles take a break and repair in peace. Often, less is more!
Sunday we have trekking in the morning, a benchmark (test your progress) class, a trip to the fresh market with our Executive Chef and straight after he will hold a cooking demo class, Muay Thai and then a night market trip on a Sunday so the day is still very much a full and active day. However, if you're staying a longer period, you don't need to partake in these every week so Sunday would be the best day to go sight-seeing - yes.
Bring training gear, such as shorts, t-shirts, training shoes, and socks.
For beach visits, pack swimwear and beach footwear, along with sun protection. Some guests also bring smart/casual wear for dining out or evening market trips, though this is entirely optional.
Consider bringing mosquito repellent (available to buy nearby) and travel adapters/converters if your home country’s plugs differ from Thai electrical outlets.
While we don’t conduct in-depth tests like BMR, VO2 MAX, RMR, or specialized bloodwork in-house, we do have a Fit3D scanner that provides an estimated BMR to give insight into your baseline energy needs. For more precise testing, we can refer you to a registered doctor or clinic on the island for metabolic assessments, including bloodwork. This would be a separate, paid service, and we’d connect you with them directly to discuss your specific needs.
We'd also love to understand more about your goals with these metrics. Are you looking at these tests as a way to overcome obstacles in weight loss or muscle gain, or is it more about getting detailed insights for a personalized approach? Knowing your goals would help us recommend the best path forward—whether that’s through our tailored fitness and nutrition plans or specialized resources if needed.
While metabolic testing isn’t part of our standard package, our program takes a comprehensive approach to fitness and fat loss, and we’re dedicated to providing the tools you need for long-term success. Let’s discuss how we can best support your journey and whether additional testing might be helpful for your goals.
We use an online platform that records certain data from your Fit3D scan, along with your goals and dietary macronutrient consumption from our onsite healthy restaurant and digital ordering menu. You can track your progress live and compare weekly after each scan. Every 7-day program includes two tickets, one of which can be used for either a personal training session or a nutrition consultation with our in-house nutritionists. Additionally, we hold six workshops per week, allowing interaction with the entire wellness and fitness team in a small seminar setting. These workshops cover the foundations of exercise and nutrition, discuss progress and challenges, and include Q&A sessions.
Yes, our full-time wellness team consists of fully certified nutrition and fitness coaches (one from Europe and one from the United States) who are onsite to provide guidance and support. They’re not freelancers or subcontracted staff.
For any issues they’re qualified to handle, they will assist directly. If any medical emergency or situation outside their expertise arises, we’ll refer guests to the appropriate medical facilities.
The difference lies in the guest's specific goals. Caloric intake and training are adjusted based on those goals once the guest has completed their 3D body scan and weigh-in:
Weight loss: Aimed at achieving a calorie deficit with more cardio and strength training, along with focused education.
Outcome: Reduced body fat and improved health.
Total fitness: Involves maintaining or increasing calories for muscle gain and enhanced performance.
Outcome: Increased strength, leaner physique, and improved fitness.
We limit our classes to a maximum of 14 participants for this reason, often keeping them smaller. Some classes are split into Level 1 and Level 2: Level 1 participants generally require more guidance, while Level 2 participants, typically at an intermediate level, are more self-directed and move at a faster pace, with a coach overseeing their progress.
Many of our guests enjoy exploring nearby beaches and attractions like Promthep Cape. Since we’re perfectly situated between sunrise and sunset points, guests love to take in the scenery with a walk or leisurely visit.

Thailand uses 220V electricity - with laptop computers and electronic devices it is recommended to bring a power converter.
Unfortunately, we cannot cater for babies and small children under the age of 16 at PhuketFit - however there are some resorts close by that you may contact that might provide more conducive accommodation for families.
Our cleanse program does not support Colon irrigation, however, we can set up for in-room self administered if that's of something you would like to do.
Yes we provide coffee.
We don't have a Barista or specialty coffee machine, yet (but its on the list 😉 ).
There is a nice coffee shop across the road though and a few really good ones within walking distance so you wont be starved of coffee drinking opportunities whilst you're here. 😉 😉
There is a lady across the road from PhuketFit who does all our guests washing and ironing. this is not included in the price, however, she is very reasonably priced.
"Pan" is open everyday from 7:30 am until 5:30 pm. She charges 60 Thb/Kg for just washing and packing & 70 Thb/Kg for wash, iron and pack. Most guests use her and have done for many years. It's also incredibly simple to wash and pack your clothes in your case when returning... and saves you a job when you get home 😉 😉
Alternatively, the tops convenience store directly across the road has a self service washing machine where you can wash and spin yourself that costs 30 Thb for 7Kg, but this doesn't dry your clothes. It's just a basic self-service wash and spin.
Personally, I would use Pan.
** Prices may vary
We don't offer an in-property/onsite laundry service but there is a self service laundry and a 'done-for-you' laundry shop across the road that handles our clients' laundry needs. Our most recent price update indicated the following prices:
> Self service
- 30 THB / 7kg Wash only, no spin, no dry.
>> Laundry Shop (done for you) =
- [Wash only] 60 THB / 1kg
- [Wash & Iron] 70 THB / 1kg
** Please note: This is not a PhuketFit service nor is it part of our business so it is an independent business transaction and service between our clients and another local business operator. PhuketFit can not be held liable for any issues resulting from using their services. We do not have a contract rate price for services so prices are down to the individual discretion of the independent business operator, therefore they are subject to change at any time.
Each 7-day program includes 2 vouchers. You can use one voucher per week for a massage and a private personal training session or consultation (depending on your chosen program), or both vouchers for massages.

Our programs are designed to focus on the 3 critical areas (like a triangle) to guide, educate and support. We do this by equal focus on the right exercises for you as a weight-loss client, the right diet for you as a person who trying to lose fat and the necessary workshop seminar information delivered to you in an simple and easy way of understanding to allow you to start making the right decisions on food.
Simply put, our weight loss program teaches you the what, the how and most importantly the why of exercise, diet and healthy habit formation. Our program is different to others as everything is done in-house. Our team is all onsite and in-house - from our Nutritionists, mobility and exercise professional coaches to an executive chef who is overseeing the preparation and delivery of all your healthy meals as part of your calorie, macro-nutrient and portion control diet.
Upon arriving you will receive a time for your 3D body scan, from here your results will be shared with you, recorded and reviewed by one of our coaches to ensure your diet in our onsite healthy restaurant matches your personal macro-nutrient requirements. then you can choose to use one of your program vouchers for a personalized nutritional consultation with our in-house nutritionist and head coach - "Efe". Efe has been with PhuketFit since for 9 years and has helped 100's of people just like you to lose weight... and continue to achieve results when they are back home. Which at the end of the day is the ultimate objective we have for all our clients.
We have a digital app (very easy to use) which records every meal and breaks the macros down automatically which allows you to easily see daily how you are doing against the goals you have set-out to achieve during your stay with us. Again, we go through this with you in one of our workshops to get you up to speed and explain how it works - it really is simple.
We provide everything that you need and nothing that you don't in order for you to achieve your realistic fat loss goals with us! This means we don't provide fluff or confuse you with things that aren't true, we are a results-based weight loss program who backs its program by proven scientific methods over years of scientific research through exercise and nutrition. We just keep to the basics and make thing real simple. this is why our clients achieve the best results long-term and those who follow our program and continue back home are the ones who truly transform their lives and never look back - you will have everything you need to take home and continue your weight-loss journey back home. Our clients often rejoin us at some point on a fitness program as their goals/objectives move from fat-loss to focusing on becoming much more fitter and stronger. Whatever your objectives.. our is to help you achieve yours, PhuketFit!
Now, the minimum program duration that we accept for a weight program is 10-days. This is because any shorter and its too short to see any noticeable changes start to set in.
You should be able to find the right visa information here to match your duration stay in Thailand. We always recommend our guests ensure they have all the correct visas and required updated travel documentation before traveling to Thailand.
Visit the website links below for more information:
The difference between fitness and weight loss is the goal of the guest, calories and training are then set for the guest's goals once we know what they are and the guest has had their 3D body scan weight in.
Weight loss = a calorie deficit and more cardio/strength training and education. Outcome - less body fat more healthy.
Total fitness = maintenance/increased calories for muscle gain/better performance. Outcome - stronger/leaner/fitter.
In pure simplistic terms... Although there can often be factors or variables which affect this... the more fat you contain on your body, the more the body wants to get rid of it. So typically, the more overweight a person is (in terms of carrying fat), the faster the rate of loss is. This is because the body likes to get rid of what it has excess of - just like water - until you get to a certain level... then it likes to retain it.
Even simpler... We could compare it to the amount of money you have... The more you have, the less you (in theory) should miss it, hence be happy to part with more money for things i.e. like expensive purchases, live a more expensive lifestyle and hopefully give more to charity.. Generally, the more you have, the more likely you are to give it away - if you live in abundance, the more likely you will give something away easily as a charity.
In terms of numbers... Typically 1-2% of body weight per week.
A recent example: A client who was 125KG lost 5kg in a week - that is 4%. Often quicker in the beginning but slower after 10-14 days. Typically 1-2%.
Now, as it's not a one size fits all, as we're all different... these are not the same for everybody but it goes to show what is possible if the body has it to give away! This is why we give the typical rates above in bold.
