Thailand Fitness Bootcamp Full Details

The Thailand fitness boot camp is suitable for all ages and all fitness levels. The one unifying goal of people attending the camp to get fit or fitter and have a great time in a beautiful location doing something really healthy. It combines ultra luxurious accommodation with world class fitness training at incredible prices.

Arrival day: You will be met at the airport and taken to your accommodation by an Xtreme Gap representative, settle in relax after a long flight and then walk to the fitness boot camp located 2 min away where you will have your full introduction session .

You make your way to the reception of the training camp and our rep will introduce you to the trainers, give you a training schedule and give you your vouchers for the meal plan. The meal plan starts on the day of the introduction. You just need to go there in your training gear, shorts, sneakers, t shirt and a towel and water. Water you can buy at the resort or at the training camp.

Really Motivating. With  Time To Achieve Those Results.

Many people struggle to get motivated into taking their health and fitness seriously. Think about it, who has the time to hit the gym properly or go for a run in our busy lives?

When you do get round to it, where is the motivation? The great thing about the fitness Boot Camp is that you can take time out of your hectic schedule to do something that is really great for your well-being, and you know you will be supported every step of the way.

What can the Thailand Fitness Bootcamp do for you?

Everyone is different, with different goals. Some people are really unfit others have a good base level of fitness, either way you will benefit from spending some time training here and you will see remarkable improvements.

You will be impressed by what you can achieve.

It is a really motivating environment. 90% of people at the camp travel there on their own which leads to a really social and supportive atmosphere because everyone has their with the same goal. When this is coupled with superb trainers, scheduled classes and all the equipment you could need, there really is nothing stopping you.

You will be amazed by what you can achieve, because with group training sessions slacking off is less of an option, and the training is quite addictive once you get into it. The included meal plan, two meals a day, (designed by an American celebrity chef) provides you with really healthy and delicious food helping you to tone up, lose weight or build muscle extremely quickly.

We have had clients who have gone from 1 week to 12 weeks, and the feedback is consistently excellent. With a varied and flexible training timetable, morning and evening you will not be bored.

At the Xtreme Gap Fitness Bootcamp Relaxation Is Just As Important As The Training.

This is a holiday as much as a bootcamp. The training can take it out of you, so to relax after a hard session you stay in a super luxurious resort, just 2 min from the training area. Set in a peaceful Thai tropical garden, with two beautiful pools, and your own boutique villa style room all ensuite (or a suite if you choose Deluxe or Luxury), you have the perfect blend of healthy fitness workouts and complete relaxation at the end of the day. See the accommodation tab for more.

All you need is on your door step.

The location is superb, in Phuket, towards the south centre of the island the camp is located away from the touristic mess of Phuket Town, located on a quiet road bordering the jungle, there are lots of nice little restaurants, spas and restaurants to enjoy.

World Class Crossfit Style Training. Strength, Conditioning & Weightloss.

It is the training that really sets up camp apart, not just the quantity but also the quality of the workouts really get results. With an impressive roster of trainers, we are constantly improving our fitness routines incorporating the latest methods and techniques. We also invest in the latest equipment like TRX and cross fit equipment to really deliver results. A fully equipped gym worth over $20,000 and 8 separate training areas are attached to the camp.

On average there can be 100 people training at the camp, from all over the world and it is not unusual to be working out with celebrities, professional athletes and fitness professionals who are on holiday and want to get in shape, as well as people of poor fitness levels who really want to learn how to improve their physique. With so many people coming and training the camp, naturally the latest fitness techniques are incorporated and developed in the training programmes. With just one month spent training at the Xtreme Gap fitness Boot Camp, we can confidently state that you can develop so much further than six months with a personal trainer back home. Fitness results are really delivered.

To see what we mean request trip notes.

Personal Training Session and Group Sessions.

Once per week you will have a mentor session with a professional personal trainer, who has competed at international level in bodybuilding competitions, and is well placed to advise nutrition, techniques and give you a road map during your stay to really get the most out of your workouts.

As well as the personal training session, there are group training sessions, Monday to Friday, with Gym access available on Saturday too (Sunday is taken off for a well-deserved rest).

Whilst there is plenty of training activities included, perhaps even more than most can handle, there is the option to book extra personal training sessions locally, and you can even try other fitness activities like Muay Thai training (for a small local payment).

Full introduction and orientation on arrival.

So what’s the catch? Well nothing really, except you have to arrange your own flight to Thailand, you fly to Phuket which is very well connected internationally or via Bangkok and you need to make the effort in training of course! Just book early online and we will get you all prepared for your trip.

Fitness Bootcamp beach training excursions.

The group training sessions are very diverse, we like to mix it up to keep it interesting and there are a couple of training sessions that take place every week away from the camp.

On Tuesdays, we do the Big Buddha Run, so the class is longer on that day. 8-10:30 AM. The Big Buddha sits at the summit of a mountain, the highest in Phuket. It’s not a steep ascent, but it’s all uphill and a serious test of your fitness abilities. It is an optional running class, you do not have to attend but those who do reach the summit of the mountain can check out the big Buddha.

This is not your average run, you will be jogging up through the jungle passing elephants on the way, if you are seriously out of shape then you might be tempted to ride one up instead, but do not worry, most people make it.

Thursdays we go to the Beach for Beach Boot Camp. Cross fit style workouts with the Andaman sea as the backdrop. The Beach Boot Camp days are legendary, and they are probably the toughest training sessions throughout the week. The reward is you get to jump in the crystal clear sea after a one-hour session!

Our client feedback consistently mentions how surprised they have been at their progress and improvement on these two fitness excursions days. You will definitely be surprised by what you are capable of.

Everything is made easy for you.

After booking, we will set you up with an online buddy list so you can chat to other people going to the camp, or people already training at the camp before you even set off.

We are of course here to answer all your questions before you go and before booking, but after booking we also include a very detailed predeparture pack for you to familiarise yourself with the trip before you go, and we will help you every step of the way making your travel arrangements as simple as possible.

On Arrival.

On arrival in Phuket, we will pick you up from the airport and transfer you to your luxury boutique villa. We recommend a Sunday arrival although we can be flexible (request trip notes for further details on the accommodation).

On the first day of your training, our Xtreme Gap rep will give you a full introduction, introduce you to the trainers, show you around the camp and help you meet other Xtreme Gappers, and also talk you through the meal plan and training timetable (more on that below).

One of the best things about the camp is the atmosphere, most travel there solo so there is a very welcoming and social side to the camp. (More on that later).

The rep is your first point of contact should you have any issues in Thailand, perhaps you just want to know where to go to get your laundry done, where to have a good spa treatment or get the inside information on which restaurant has the best Thai red curry in town, all you have to do is ask. Everything is made really easy for you, allowing you to just focus on having a great time, getting fit and having a really great holiday.

How long should you go for?

Most people go for 2 to 4 weeks, due to time constraints with work, and two weeks is enough to start to see some good results. The main benefit you will take home the knowledge of how to maintain and improve your fitness back home along with a solid foundation or fitness.

Of course you also have had an amazing holiday in Thailand as well and it is not that often you can say you’ve come back from holiday feeling better than when you left!

Short-term guests will receive an amazing kick start to their health and fitness routine.

Many who travel with us use this as a kick start to their travels as well, after all if you are hitting the beaches in Thailand, you want to look and feel good!

Really want to get impressive results? Go long-term.

If you are really serious about making this a life changing trip, and completely give yourself a physical overhaul, to improve your health and fitness the way you look at the way you feel that you should definitely consider joining the long term.

Our clients who stay 8 to 12 weeks really feel the benefit and the transformation can be incredible. An improvement in your fitness levels is guaranteed, and spending 12 weeks devoting yourself to improving your health is surprisingly cheaper than spending the same amount of time at home. For example 8 weeks is under £3000, pretty much fully inclusive (except for one meal per day which costs about two pounds in Thailand).

Great Value Compared to Other Thailand Fitness Boot Camps.

The fitness Boot Camp is incredibly good value and when you compare the prices to similar boot camps and considering the quantity and quality of the training combined with a luxurious stay in a boutique resort, it becomes unsurprising that the majority of people who book revisit the camp. At half the price of other fitness boot camps. It is little wonder it is so popular.

The Training Timetable.

Early Morning

If you wish you can start with a good stretch in the morning by joining the Yoga class for an hour before the ‘real’ work begins. Please note all training is voluntary, and no one is going to drag you out of bed to attend. Having said that everyone is really motivated and it’s a great start to the day.

Boot Camp Training 3 x Per Day.

After Yoga comes the serious cardio (fat burning) classes, using highly advanced techniques (request trip notes for further details and videos about this). These sessions, called Body fit boot camp sessions, are designed to increase your fitness fast and effectively. The groups typically have s mix of people training in poor condition and peak physical condition, this works well as the exercises are modified depending on your fitness levels and ability so no one is left behind.

The first session starts at eight for one hour, and there is a second and third session in the afternoon at two o’clock and three o’clock.

Through out the weeks your fitness levels can be measured on a fitness test so you know how your are progressing.

Personal Training Schedule

You also have a 1 hour a week personal training session, one on one with one of the most respected fitness trainers in Asia!

This session is designed to monitor your progress, and to guide your fitness regime so that you arrive at your desired goals. During these weekly sessions you will develop the ideal schedule, diet and supplement plan.

Your trainer is a professional body builder: gold medal winner in Mr Asia bodybuilding competitions. He is a diet and nutrition counsellor as well so if you want the low down on what you should eat and how you should exercise this is the perfect opportunity.

Peter´s instruction is all about teaching you proper form to maximize your work out goals, and give you that little extra push you need. He will teach about nutrition, weight-lifting and workout structure and provide you with an invaluable boost in the know how of correct work outs. More often than not, our clients can double their effectiveness with minor modifications to their work outs.

The weekly personal training session is designed to keep you on track and teach you how to get the most out of your sessions. One hour per week is more than enough considering all the groups fitness sessions included in the programme, however should you want more personal sessions to utilise peter as a spot partner you can book them locally or purchase a pack of 4 extra sessions per week for €150 /£150 at the time of booking.

Yoga, Muay Thai try it all.

There are also options to join Yoga sessions taught by a highly qualified yoga instructors. The Yoga groups first thing in the morning are perfect to warm up your muscles and get them ready for a hard session at body fit.

As you are training in Thailand you can also join Muay Thai training sessions (for beginners). Muay Thai is the national martial art and is superb for fitness and good fun as well. Many Western style “body combat” classes take a lot from Muay Thai training sessions. Even if you have no experience you can join the morning Muay Thai groups, with 80% of people signing up with little or no experience you will be in good company.

Travelling alone is no problem it’s a very social environment.

As we mentioned most people who attend the camp, are independent travellers and arrive at the camp on their own. If you are concerned about travelling solo, don’t be. There is such a social atmosphere at the camp, and it is a really supportive environment that everyone gets to know each other very quickly.

We set you up on our buddy list system before you go (to chat online with other people attending the camp, and we promise you will make really good new friends, (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.

While 2 meals a day are included in the meal plan, you are free to have dinner where every you like, which tends to be very social.

People come from all over to train at our camp, so expect to meet new friends from all over the world and really broaden your horizons and extend your connections at the same time.

The fact that most people travel there alone, also adds to the motivation factor, because everyone is there to succeed in their fitness goals so everyone encourages and pushes each other to do more.

Location & Activities.

You can expect great weather, amazing food and exciting environment. Lots of culture and interesting day trips to be had. The training camp is about a 10 min drive from the beach, (taxis are cheap) there are temples, spas, and numerous activities like elephant trekking, diving and snorkelling, trekking and you can even head out to Phi Phi for some to die for beaches.

You can’t go to Thailand without trying a Thai massage as well, and after a few days training you might just want one! There are ample spa facilities in the vicinity of your accommodation so it is very easy to reward yourself with a bit of pampering after all of your hard efforts with your training.

Request trip notes (on the right and we will send you further information on some other things you can do there.)

Visas.
