My first time at Lamai was absolutely life changing!! I had been really unfit, tired & sluggish since the end of lockdowns, and needed to kickstart my fitness. I loved it so much that I returned a few months later lol. Billy runs an incredible program that is so versatile, it never ever gets boring. Who knew exercise could be so much fun? My highlight was the Friday community hike... if you're a solo travellers, you'll never be lonely!

My girlfriend and I were looking for wellness retreat in Thailand for 2 weeks. We landed on our feet with Lamai fitness, its was just what the doctor ordered! Billy and Arti, the group made it feel like a family, very supportive and tailored work outs to each of our needs. The work outs are fun, with new and different sessions to mix it up, we both looked forward to it everyday and so extended our trip by 2 weeks! We are stronger, fitted than ever! Thanks so much guys we will.be back next year! x

Lamai Fitness - It’s more than a retreat. Based 3 min walk from the beach, 2min walk to the jungle. Many flat areas to walk and also hiking options close by. Many people come here for 1-4 weeks to do intense fitness and there’s many programs to choose from or they take walk-ins or part time memberships. 4 different areas make the retreat the best in the area: - Large Gym - Varying classes - Juice and cafe bar - Mini football field on Astro Turf - Clubhouse for healthy and clean meals - Ice Baths, outdoor showers - Boxfit & HIIT area that’s massive - Muay Thai learning and training.

Had the best 2 months ever at this fitness retreat! Honestly not sure where to start as it was all brilliant! I initially signed up here for a 1 month retreat as I was urgently needing to lose some “Covid Lockdown” weight! I had a wonderful introduction and after throwing up during my fitness test on my first day (about 10minutes into it) it was fairly clear I had some work to do! Billy, the owner and trainer, and his staff were so patient with me and pushed me so hard, that despite my cursing and wanting to give up at most sessions that first week I kept going and can honestly say they definitely got 150% out of me from then on! Billy can work wonders! That first month the fat dropped off me and for the first time in years I actually felt good, I started to see muscle definition and looked forward to each session. It was so good, I signed up for a second month, which I enjoyed even more than my first and feel incredible after completing it and it’s such an amazing feeling when you can not only see the difference but feel it all over as well! The gym is fantastic. Everything you need. Brand new equipment, clean, tidy and I never once had to wait for a machine. The drinks at the reception are super tasty and the recently opened Clubhouse by the fort all field has some of the tastiest food I had in Samui! I also have to mention the incredible staff and team Billy has got with him at the gym. Arti, there every morning with a smile and so much enthusiasm for fitness you can see she just loves being there. And Pikey in most evenings, always happy to help you stretch or train you on any machines you’re unsure of! The whole team has so much knowledge and most importantly make you feel at home at the gym and let you enjoy it! I have enjoyed my 2 months so much I’ll be back again in the New Year! 😁

After researching for months I came across Lamai Fitness and although initially committing 2 weeks, I ended up staying an extra week because the experience was so fantastic. From the pick up at the airport to the day you depart, Coach Billy has you well taken care of, and no matter your level of fitness, the program is catered to you and no one is ever left feeling guilty about their level of fitness (or injuries) while participating in the daily workout which are not easy, challenging, but always fun. The camaraderie of the group is just as amazing, with no more than 10-12 people, this allows the coaches to fully dedicate to catering to maximize the experience of everyone. In the end, you will get out what you put in. I lost 8.5 kg in 3 weeks sticking 100% to Coach Billy's plan. There is a huge difference training with a professional athlete like Billy who knows all the ins and outs to get you true results, as long as you give it all your effort. Special shout out to Coach Arti who spent a ton of extra time with me working on mobility, extra run/walk sessions almost every day (even on Sundays), she really made my experience over the top. I am coming back again soon and so are my friends!

Great fitness retreat! Personal approach, great staff, good atmosphere, great accommodation and challenging trainings. Had a lovely time and would definitely go back some time.

Lamai Fitness is a great place to reset your physical and mental health. After two weeks I left fitter, energised and motivated. The coaches, facility and restaurant staff have created an awesome environment for people at all fitness levels to achieve their goals. Everyone is very positive and encouraging. Special thanks to Billy, Daysie, Elliot, Gill, Curly and Gik. The facilities are first class with a gym, various outdoor training areas, and ice baths. The onsite restaurant is one of the best in the area serving quality well portioned healthy meals, and the cafe is a great place to catch up with other clients. The program really worked for me as it was varied and included run clinics, hiking, HIIT, BoxFit, Strength classes, yoga, Muay Thai, meditation and breathwork. The location in Lamai is perfect. Everything is walkable with the beach five minutes away, lots of hiking/running tracks, close to massage, laundry, large shopping centre, pharmacy etc. as well as excellent restaurants and cafes. I have trained at various other fitness retreats but this hands down has been my favourite and I look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

If you're thinking of training in Samui, then I strongly recommend you save yourself some time looking around for other places and just book here. I have tried several places and none of them come close to Lamai Fitness Retreat Firstly, owner Billy is about a genuine a guy as there is. There's a reason this place has such high score on reviews and it starts from the first time you meet this man. Sadly, so many other places in Thailand will just say anything to get you through the door and try and upsell you a bunch of stuff that is of little benefit. Billy is the exact opposite, he listens to your goals, gives you a realistic outline of what you need to do and his prices are extremely competitive I only had the pleasure of dealing with one trainer, so I can't comment on all of them, but Arti was amazing. She made training fun, she's always in a good mood with a big smile. She's another genuine person, who knows what she's doing and will often train alongside you as additional motivation and support. The gym has everything you need and just next door is a cafe providing all the delicious healthy meals you'll need to achieve your results, once again the staff there are all wonderful and friendly I don't often leave reviews but I felt compelled to leave one as I spent a lot of time searching for places to train/lose weight in Samui and sadly didn't come across this one till the end of my trip. Had I come here initially, I would have had much better results, but if I'm ever back I know exactly where I'm going Thank you Billy and Arti for a wonderful 2 weeks Alan :)

The best gym and fitness retreat – thanks to Billy and his staff. I have been at Billy’s place twice and I’m looking forward to my third visit. Both times I have had great results. My last visit in December 2021 I went from doing absolutely nothing for way too many years to be able to run 10K in four weeks. My strength improved a lot as well, and so did my motivation for training after returning home. No matter your fitness level you will see results and Billy will make sure that you work on your goals. I prefer weight training and found the mobility and core training with Arti awfully hard (she seems nice but she is tuff – thanks for ignoring my complaints and for keep pushing me :-) ) but after a few weeks I was feeling the improvements, and still fell them in my own training after being home for a couple of months now. I like the variety of the training in the gym, as well as the yoga and thai-boxing. I love to stay at Lamai Fitness because of the work out and results, but even more because of the atmosphere and there people there. People talk to each other, are nice people and care about each other. You will not feel like an outsider or feel that you do not belong in the gym, as is sometime the case other places. And that just makes the difference. No judgment, hard work, great people, lots of sweat, fun and farewell tears. I miss you guys and hope to see you soon.

Had an amazing time at Lamai Fitness! I was a solo traveler on a backpacking trip and decided to take some time off traveling to recharge and focus on my fitness. This camp is just what I needed, I regained strength and saw results, and made lots of friends in just 2 weeks. The food was extremely healthy and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Just spent a great fun, challenging four weeks here. Billy and the team are really friendly, very approachable and professional. Classes are fun and can be aimed at all levels, no matter your starting fitness level or age. Ideal for solo travelers as there are many people there in the same boat. Accommodation is close by and very comfortable. The food is great too - especially on the plan! I've come away feeling fit, strong and pretty pleased with myself! 😊

Spent two weeks at Lamai Fitness Retreat (March 2023) and it's no wonder people LOVE this place. There is so much variation in the fitness program, with so many opportunities to build confidence and strength from week to week. Every detail was thoughtful, the staff and training team were so supportive and helpful, with a genuine interest in their clients and their progress. I loved the balance of down-time, relaxation (Yoga, reiki and meditation were so amazing), skill development and the opportunity to push myself to the limit. With such an incredible team and program, it's no surprise that I was super happy with my results! I achieved some big goals but I also left with a full heart, renewed hope and tonnes of motivation, not to mention the delicious recipes from the Lamai Clubhouse! Already planning my next trip! Thank you Billy and the Team! Bloody loved every minute!!

Had a pleasant fitness week away, the coaches are friendly and helpful/encouraging. The restaurant has great food but the calories are pretty far off so was difficult to track exactly what you eating but other than that I recommend trying them out with a large variety of classes to test your fitness 💪🏽🙏🏼

I’ve just got back from 3 weeks at Lamai fitness and it’s safe to say, it was the best thing I have ever done! If you’re looking to train hard, eat delicious food and meet incredible people - this is the place. The work out schedule and classes are so varied you will never get bored, the food is so fresh and healthy with a great varied menu, but most importantly - the trainers and staff at the best bunch of humans you’ll ever meet. I cannot wait to go back already later this year!

I booked Lamai Fitness for 1 week but stayed for 5! The retreat has a strong community/family vibe and the staff really care. The program is fun, varied and challenging, and the trainers can tailor the program depending on your goals. Highlights were the Muay Thai sessions, runs, and the morning ritual of a smoothie with everyone. There’s lots of healthy food available (at the retreat and nearby) so plenty of options, and the accom was lovely and clean. It's particularly great for anyone travelling solo as it's setup to be very social. It was a special experience and I highly recommend it!

I went on the weight loss program for 1 month ( & 2 days ) at Lamai Fitness Retreat. I loved it from start to finish , as it offers a very diverse range of training & fitness programmes. As I was on the weight loss program, the food was included in the package & by no means did it disappoint. The full experience for me was one of the best trips I have ever participated in , from the super friendly & helpful PTs and trainers to the most enjoyable HIIT & Boxercise classes. MuayThai classes & Yogo classes were also included in my package , and they were also very well run / organised. The Hikes were also super enjoyable , especially the big Buddha hike ( local to the fitness camp ), which I participated in several times. The ice baths ( which were a first for me ) were also really enjoyable & good for recovery & just generally lifting your energy levels when you have been training vigorously throughout the week. Would most definitely recommend it & I personally will most definitely be back as the location itself is enough to make a person return as Koh Sumui is an absolutely stunning island.

I decided to attend this program during the cold winter season of Montreal in january and I am glad I did it. The program is well set up and there is no way not to lose weight, not to get fit as long as you come to the trainings and follow the meal plan. The owner Billy is knowledgeable and always make good fitness and nutrition suggestions that will give you long lasting results rather than unhealthy short cut solutions. Accommodation is perfect, you stay right next to the fitness center and you eat at the restaurant owned by lamai fitness right next to the fitness center again. The food is delicious, clean and healthy and they have many different options. I have done 4 weeks , lost 4 kg even though i had cheat meals on the weekends and I was not on a strict diet plan. Overall it has been a wonderful experience and it was great to train with amazing people from all over the world. This program is worth every penny and Anyone looking for a fitness retreat program should definitely give it a try.

I had an amazing experience at Lamai fitness! Loved every minute of it, went with a friend but met so many great people from around the world. Loved all the workouts came back home so fit and refreshed. Miss my Lamai family ❤️

Amazing atmosphere with encouraging staff. From Day1 felt very comfortable and in the mood to hit my targets. I enjoyed the classes alot and improved my conditioning. Special thanks all the staff, Billy,Arti,Daisy, Jordans camp over at Evolution and Juns muay thai camp. Also yoga with Gill. Lamai Fitness was truly a life changing experience, they take their fitness serious as it is a lifestyle. Billy leads by example as do the rest of the staff, always a positive environment. Also the food at the clubhouse was my favorite, thanks to the cooks/servers there. Top Notch!!! Highly recommend coming here. Nick

I would highly recommend Lamai Fitness to anyone looking to improve their health, physical fitness and overall lifestyle in a way that is sustainable, goal-orientated, and personalised so that you get the results that matter to you. I have spent a fair bit of time contemplating how to describe how truly incredible the overall Lamai Fitness experience is and how greatly it changed my life in a way that doesn’t sound lame and cheesy – maybe it is best summarised by the fact I had planned on holidaying in Europe over the summer, but ditched my plans for Italy in favour of staying a few extra weeks to train, exercise and learn with the team at Lamai Fitness. The coaching staff – led by Billy and Arti – are one in a million. They work with you to understand where you are at personally and what you want to achieve and give you guidance and support to reach your goals. They have a wealth of experience across the fitness industry and take a holistic approach to training - balancing nutrition, rest, and mindset practices with some gruelling strength workouts, amazing jungle hikes/trail runs and some very sweaty Muay Thai sessions. As challenging as it is, it is also extremely fun and social 💥 The gym has a really welcoming, inclusive vibe and great culture. Guaranteed lots of laughs and wild stories 😊 For me, training at Lamai Fitness was the circuit breaker that gave me the space to get my mojo back after the last few long years and remember how incredible it feels to be fit, healthy and full of energy. I’ll be forever grateful for their passion, support and great company ✨

I spent 3 weeks at the Lamai Fitness Retreat and can't recommend them highly enough! I was looking to improve on my fitness levels having become some what lazy since the pandemic and Billy, Arti, Monte, Jordan and of course Jun and the Muay Thai team pushed me to the limits and beyond! With their tailored small group classes, nutritional expertise and all round motivation skills I reached a level of fitness I hadn't thought possible in such a short window. The other guests at the retreat all had varying levels of fitness and goals, some to lose weight, others to train for marathons etc but the way the training is delivered the coaches are able to tweak each class to each individuals goals. The intensity of the training as well as all coming from different places in the world but with a common go created a real sense of comradery with the other guests. The overall group results were astounding! Aside from feeling fitter than ever I've taken away some excellent exercise techniques as well as nutritional knowledge that I am still applying daily. It was such a great experience that I plan on making this a 1 month a year fixture going forward. cheers Billy and the crew!

I could not rate this place more highly. Ive never lost weight in Thailand before but after 4 weeks and more than 8kg later it can be done! Billy is an awesome coach and leads by example. Adaptable workout schedules, lovely food and accommodation .. you'll never be bored here. Special mention to assistant coach Arti! What a gem :)

There are trainers and then there are good trainers. Lamai Fitness Retreat and especially Coach Billy Or are exemplary in all areas. As an older runner, I don't feel intimidated or worried about training with younger fitter people, because I feel comfortable and encouraged however I show up. The training isn't just about training, it's about being encouraged to be the very best version of ourselves and recognising that we can each attain our own goals with highly tailored and experienced support. Thank you Coach Billy.

Lamai Fitness Retreat is of the highest quality. From mountain hikes to strength training sessions to stretch yoga, there's something for everyone. I can't think of any other place I would want to train. Staff are amazing. The crew are amazing. I don't think I'll ever leave Thanks for having me. 😊 Sharon Mendoza

I loved my week at Lamai Fitness. The community is really easy to quickly feel apart of, which is awesome! The workouts are hard and challenge you no matter what your fitness level is. The trainers are all really good at seeing everyone’s individual abilities and pushing them to do their best. I really appreciated the energy and effort that I felt from each of the trainers during my week at Lamai. I was sad to leave which shows how much fun the expirence was! I hope to be back one day.

Really enjoyed our time and I'm sure I would like to return in the future. The team are all super friendly and very knowledgeable. The retreat is well located and a great mix of classes in different environments. Met some really nice people and definitely achieved my fitness goals and learnt a lot while there! Highly recommend.

Love this place! My third visit and still the same relaxed, fun vibe as my last two visits. In my first visit circa 2014, I lost 11.6kg in 3 1/2 weeks. This time, in 4 weeks I went from barely being able to run to the mailbox, to finishing a 20km adventure run! Also discovered that I really enjoy ice baths, something that I never thought I would say! The timetable on the website is pretty accurate, with small groups meaning you get proper attention to your form and needs, and not lost in a sea of faces. Definitely caters to people from all walks of life and abilities; I have trained with people from all over the world who I now call friends, people desperately in need of a lifestyle reboot (like me this year!), as well as elite athletes, with no BS and no drama. This is not the gym for show ponies or drama queens, but for normal people motivated to improve their health and have a laugh #nocrossfit Coaches Billy, Arti and Daisey are wonderful, and the Jun Muay Thai boys are rockstars, as are Jordan and his team at Evo Fitness next door. There is definitely a community vibe, and you are looked after all the way. The Clubhouse has excellent meal options for the whole family (I brought my husband and 2 and 4 year olds this visit!), and there are lots of great eating places and large Tesco supermarket and a fresh produce market close by. We stayed at Lamai Beach which was a quick walk or cycle away. The gym's associated hotel next door looked great, but didn't suit our family needs for a long stay while working remotely. I highly recommend Lamai Fitness for a life changing fitness and lifestyle retreat. Invest in your health and enjoy yourself in one of the world's most stunning island paradises. There are plenty of fresh coconuts to go around!

Thank you Lamai Fitness Team for two amazing weeks! I met great people there and had a really good time. Originally I only booked one week of the complete fitness programm but decided to extend for another week as I really enjoyed it. There are a lot of different classes available during a week (strength, yoga, mobility, run/hike, breathwork, muay thai, boxfit etc.) so that there is a nice variety and it does not get boring. The accomandation (Crystal Lamai) is close by (less than 5 min walk) which is very convenient and offers a pool. Food in the clubhouse was great and there are a lot of other good food options in Lamai as well. If you are looking to improve your fitness/wellbeing and to have a good time I highly recommend this place.

My only regret was not staying at Lamai fitness retreat for longer. 5 weeks flew by. Billy and the whole team made my fitness journey amazing beyond expectation . I didn’t know I could actually enjoy exercise. I’m grateful to have met and train with such fun, devoted coaches (Daysy, Shannon, Elliot). The meal plan was the tastiest food while being nutritionally dense to keep you fueled throughout the day. All delivered by the sweetest, funniest clubhouse staff (Curley and the gang). I’ve walked away with so much new health and fitness knowledge, friends I’ll have forever, a new body and memories I’ll hold close to my heart.

Highly recommended ! We visited Lamai fitness after 5 weeks of intense training in Phuket. We were NOT disappointed. Billy has created an extremely welcoming and well run business. The spaces and equipment are clean and new. He took the time to really listen to our needs and then steered us towards an even higher level of fitness than what we arrived with. We stayed for 4 weeks and didn’t want to leave. Arti (pt) was caring and thoughtful and a joy to be around. We miss the “family feel” and the feeling of being part of a truly friendly bunch. We will return. Good luck to you all with the new fitness offerings. See you again in the future. Jimi Georgina Jane and Rodger.

Loved my two week stay at Lamai Fitness Retreat - truly excellent coaches and staff make you feel welcome and encourage you to reach your goals. All the different sessions were excellent, but highlights included a beach workout and swim, PT with Coach Daysie, the Buddha hike, hill sprints, yoga with Gill, breathwork, and facing my fear of cold water with an ice bath. It’s a brilliant place for a reset - came home feeling cleaner, lighter, stronger and less stressed. Highly recommend.
