    Trained here for a month and had the best experience! The trainers are not only extremely knowledgeable, but also put their money where their mouth is as many of them regularly fight and put what they teach you into practice. The gym is extremely clean and the place has a very respectful and social vibe, you'll be sure to make lots of friends!

    Thank you Punch It team for the fantastic weeks we had at your gym. We loved the ambiance, the friendly and engaged coaches and Rose's great support at the reception. Everything was well organized, from booking, trainings, motorcycle rentals and great food at the Healthy Cafe! The Lamai area is ideal for staying with its lovely small restaurants, and Punch It has made arrangements with good hotels within walking distance of the gym. I highly recommend Punch It for both beginners as experienced fighters, you will have a great time to get fit/ keep fit while learning Muay Thai Boxing! We're already making plans to come back next year.

    Amazing, life changing experience. Not just the classes, but every touch point, from the airport pickup, to checking in, even the reception, restaurant staff, they are really nice and even remembered that I was coming. The classes are wonderful and the food served is amazing. There's a nice chill out zone where you can watch other classes and get motivated before jumping in. I'll definitely come back for longer stay next time!

    I was supposed to stay a week and by day 3 I cancelled the rest of my plans to stay another week on Koh Samui and Punch it! I booked a full package, accomodation (beach) trainings and transfer and can highly recommend, Rose and the team made everything smooth and easy! The trainings are intense, a perfect combination of technique, condition and sparring! I took two classes a day, either two beginner group sessions or one group and one private. I fell in love with Muay thai and cant wait to continue (and to come back to Punch it). The teachers are real experts and there to guide you, the atmosphere is amazing! I suggest to take a couple of private lessons and dont skip the ice bath either. Having the health cafe right nextdoor is great too. Thank you Punch it for this challenging and life changing experience! Special shout out to Rose, Kru Bao, Boy and Not!

    Great place for Muay Thai training. The Camp is clean and classes are well organised. The staff are lovely and always ready to help. High quality trainers that make a great team. They also have a healthy cafe at the camp offering a variety of continental and Thai food with great coffee. Awesome place!

    I got a fully inclusive package deal with accommodation, training, and food. This makes it easier for people to plan their trip and focus on their training without having to worry about finding a place to stay or figuring out meals. It's also convenient that the gym offers classes before and after work, which is helpful for people who work remotely or have other commitments during the day. The staff were helpful and took care of my every need. This can make a big difference, especially if you're new to training Muay Thai or visiting a new place. It can be reassuring to know that there are people who are willing to help you out and make sure that you're comfortable. Overall, Punch It Muay Thai gym in Koh Samui, Thailand is a great place to train for both beginners and experienced fighters. With its fully inclusive package deal, accommodating staff, and convenient class schedule, its a great choice for anyone who wants to focus on their training without any distractions.

    I stayed at Punch It for three months and it was one of the best experiences I ever had. The training was always very structured and the coaches make sure to alway push you just enough for it to still be fun, but exhausting as hell. If you are staying for longer or want to improve quickly I would highly recommend taking private lessons. All of the trainers are great and have their own special way of training you. Just make sure to tell them what you want to improve on. But the most amazing part of this whole experience was the many different types of people that I have met. You would not only train together but also do things outside of the gym together. The overall organisation was amazing. Rose and Ben were constantly available and always knew how to help me out be it with my visa extension or any sort of trips. I can only recommend this experience to everybody and can’t wait to get back there.

    Super muay thai gym. I stayed there for 2 weeks and trained every day. As a beginner I learned soo much. Very nice athmosphere, super trainers, amazing food in the healthy cafe and good organisation; I booked everything in advance, including stay, trainings, private trainings, icebath session,... Super!!! I'll be coming back, the sooner the better...

    I can’t deny that Punch it feels like a brand. BUT one with a heart, soul and philosophy, if you don’t like it, there are plenty of other good Muay Thai gym’s at Koh Samui. We realy enjoyed our time with the Punch it team! The shop, the bar, the trainers, the boss and of course the parrot! Thank you all for making us smile every day. We hope to come back soon!

    I have to admit I was convinced to go on a training by my dad. Because I am a dancer I was really skeptical, but I had such a wonderful time there. All of the trainers and also the owner were very nice, professional and patient. I would highly recommend this place as a little change from exhausting laying on the beach :)

    All I can say if you are thinking about booking DO IT! THE most incredible gym and staff from the kind Apple on reception to the skilled and professional trainers and Markus the owner who is so friendly and helpful going the extra mile to make sure your experience is five star. The gym and facilities are modern and clean. I really couldn’t recommend Punch It Muay Thai more. I was so nervous being a female solo traveller but I was made to feel so comfortable straight away and part of the gym family. Thank you, thank you, thank you Punch it!

    Thank you very much for the fantastic experience during my stay at Punch It gym. I always wanted to follow a real Muay Thai boxing class in Thailand and I for sure choose the best gym I could wish for. The trainers were great, easy going and really took the time to learn me all of the Muay Thai boxing technics. Not even mentioning the wonderful venue and atmosphere. I hope to visit this place again!

    Had an amazing time training here last year! It was a once in a lifetime experience and would highly recommend to anyone who loves training and fitness!

I love training here so much I’m going back again!

    We joined as beginners and did two weeks. It was hard to begin with but after 3rd/4th session things got easier and it was very enjoyable. The trainers really help you with your form and we learnt so much and our fitness improved a lot.

    The best Muay Thai experience I've had so far in Thailand!! Amazing infrastructure and excellent trainer. The trainers make each session unique and with a variety of different exercises.In this gym you won't do bag work only for 7 rounds. Also a big compliment to other staff, which has done a great job helping us organize everything and was helpful and friendly. Looking forward to coming again 🙂

    Trained here for a full month, and it was amazing! The trainers are very nice and helpful, plus super pros and still active fighters so they have a lot to teach. Super new gym where you can find all things needed. You can either buy them or borrow from the gym. Everyone was very helpful and keen on helping from the acommodation and also other tips to enjoy the island. 100% recommended for all levels. Even if its your firs time training, they will also make sure to give you an intro training.

    I am very satisfied with the gym (spacious, cafe nearby), trainers are very skilful, actual focus on skills development in advanced groups. Trainers are really trying to help to develop skills of visitors. At the same time, I found annoying the request to stand and listen to the anthem. I do respect the trainers and their job, expressed it to them and that should be enough. I have never met such approach in other gyms.

    Love this place.. great trainers, accomodation, facilities, and other staff. Very helpful and accomodating. Can’t wait to go back. Trainers are absolute warriors and really put in a lot of work in the training sessions. They also make it fun for everybody involved.

    So easy to book and pay for from a distance; a text the week before to confirm (and put my mind at ease), airport pick-up, great accommodation and the classes were something else. The gym is SO clean, the format works and all you need to do is get in there and get involved. I did the 8am sessions and the 6pm, they focused on different things and always worked to suit your level. Across 6 days (12 classes) we focused on various skills and no two classes were the same. I also booked a private class and It was brilliant - focus on technique and different skills; hard but worth every penny. All the trainers are highly skilled (mega fit!) and actively want to help you, the other people appreciate your skill level and work with that too. During my private, the gym was being fully cleaned, the glass, floors, surfaces - yes there is sweat from other classes…but that’s what we are here for! As a soho female with limited experience, I can’t recommend this enough.

  • 4/5 Wang W. 1 year ago on Google
    The rate would be 3.8 for the gym. The reception lady and coaches are welcome and nice. The environment is chill and the equipments look new and modern for sure. I do believe Gym will clean up once or twice per day, but not between class… Gym has class during 16-18 and 18-19:30. Really don’t like enjoy the former trainer’s sweat on floor. The class size is too big in the evening one(heard other trainer said morning one is the same, so he didn’t join) is like around 30 ppl to 5 coaches per day. It might need divert the students to senior class😂

    I can't say this enough but this place is simply amazing!! The training is fun but challenging. The trainers are friendly will definitely push you. You will meet people from all corners of the world you can share your experience with. And oh yeah, the island is absolutely gorgeous!! Can't wait to come back in the future.

    The most amazing thing I’ve ever done!! I spent four weeks training at Punch it having never done any combat sports previously and it was the best experience I honestly think I’ve ever had. The trainers are excellent, both in their skill and instruction, and have a lot of patience for all levels. I bought a package that included accommodation for 28 nights and stayed at the Lamai Chateau, which was great, the staff there are friendly and helpful and the place has a real community spirit. I met lots of other people training there and have made lifelong friends. The whole punch it experience is something I would recommend everyone to try even if only taking one lesson to see what it is about. I will cherish the memories of this last month and I hope I can find a way to return and complete more training in the future. I also cannot leave a review without mentioning the wonderful Rose who organises everything, she is amazing and made the whole journey from booking right through to moving on easy and fun. Thank you 😊

    Amazing experience! I stayed and trained for four weeks. The staff are polite. The training is quite intense and fun. The group training gets a bit crowded on some days, though. But they still manage to make it super fun. I also did 12 personal training sessions with the champ, Kru Bao. It was so much fun and intense! If you're thinking of doing something different, you should probably do it before finding an excuse for not doing it. The food is fantastic too! The trainers are super down-to-earth and fun. The community is fantastic, too! I made some lovely friends and made some great memories! Overall, it was an incredible experience, and I'd love to return to punch it. I can't wait! I must comment on the usage of plastic at the cafe, though. I feel it's essential to remain as eco-friendly as possible. Avoid straws for smoothies or use an alternative that's not plastic. The usage of wooden cutleries for takeaways would help reduce a bit more. Or don't give cutleries at all because the hotel offers them anyway. Encouraging students to use their bottles and providing a paid water dispenser to fill water from that. I used my bottle and used a dispenser nearby to fill in. But if I used plastic bottles for 28 days, that's like 100 bottles (at least) It's super bad for the environment. For me, this is a good reason to give four stars, but everything else was perfect. So, I feel Punch it still deserves five stars. But I hope they take the plastic thing seriously! 👍😊
