Podium Gym Crossfit is a haven for fitness junkies who enjoy pushing their physique to the limits. It specializes in intense CrossFit exercises overseen by experienced fitness instructors known to deliver a holistic and safe workout experience.
We like that it has one of the cleanest and most vibrant interiors among the gyms in Koh Phangan. Furthermore, it has a wide array of equipment and fitness classes which are available for all ages and skill levels.
We were even more impressed that they have an on-site supplement shop where you can get your fill of protein bars, protein drinks, and various supplements.
Podium Gym Crossfit also has an ice bath and herbal steam room which are great for people who want relief from stiff joints and sore muscles. Also, they offer a membership option with a 10% discount on drop-ins and 10-class appointments.
On the flip side, this membership discount doesn’t apply to 5-day and month-long class appointments, which we found disappointing.
Pros
- Reasonable pricing
- Specializes in CrossFit programs
- Competent fitness trainers
- Has fitness courses for all ages and skill levels
- Has regularly scheduled fitness classes and CrossFit training
Cons
- Membership discounts don’t apply to all classes and programs.
Clean gym with a wide array of equipment and top-notch trainers
“Absolutely love this gym! The staff is incredibly friendly and the trainers are top-notch. The variety of equipment and cleanliness of the space is impressive. There’s something for everyone. Plus, the community vibe here makes every workout enjoyable. Highly recommend!”

Airconditioned, short wait times for equipment, and excellent recovery facilities
“I’ve been a member of this gym for several months now, and it’s been an incredible experience! The cleanliness is impeccable; the staff is constantly ensuring everything is spotless and sanitized. I also appreciate that it’s never too packed, even during peak hours, so I never have to wait long for equipment. The sauna and ice bath facilities are great and provide an excellent way to recover after a tough workout. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a well-maintained air-conditioned gym”

WILD WOOD Beach Fitness is a highly rated and versatile beachside gym. In our books, it stands out for its 40 pieces of unique wooden equipment—all their original designs!
We especially love their specialized equipment for various exercises and calisthenics maneuvers, which lets us focus more on our target muscles.
And for a more personalized workout experience, this gym also has skilled fitness trainers. We also like that it has a spa facility with a steam room, ice bath, and swimming pool.
Oh, and another bonus thing we appreciate is the on-site healthy cafe. It serves numerous nutrient-packed snack and breakfast options like protein-rich fruit shakes and smoothie bowls.
The only downside is the lack of membership options and benefits. Instead, you can only choose between numerous fitness packages with varying gym equipment inclusions.
For instance, their most expensive Wild Wood Elite package gives you access to all 40 of their unique gym equipment. It’s also worth noting that while this gym is open-air, midday workouts aren’t uncomfortable due to the cool ocean breeze.
Pros
- Has specialized gym and calisthenics equipment
- Has competent fitness trainers
- Has various amenities
Cons
- No membership options and benefits
Fully-equipped gym with various amenities and excellent beach view
“We had such a wonderful relaxing stay at Wild Wood’s beach resort! Spacious, clean & well-equipped with breathtaking nature & ocean views. This place is a hidden gem. Whether to stay, workout, or both, they offer a fully equipped gym, group Yoga classes, a pool, ice baths, fresh fruits, friendly staff & owners who were very accommodating. Great location, we will definitely come back!”

A decked-out gym that’s perfect for calisthenics and mobility exercises
“For gym true lovers this is a must, you arrive and there’s no way that you don’t want to train. You can either, do bodyweight training and weightlifting. It’s also a good place to practice calisthenics and work mobility with Vlad. The ice bath and sauna work really well. And the views are just incredible. Good WiFi and the staff are really helpful.”

Evolve Health Club is perfect if you enjoy intense workout sessions. While they focus on CrossFit courses and Muay Thai classes, they’re also equipped with numerous cardio equipment and free weights.
Basically, we love that this gym is basically a one-stop shop. There’s even an on-site store that sells a wide array of supplements and serves vegan-friendly breakfast bowls!
We also appreciate that there’s a sauna and ice bath, which are perfect for post-workout relaxation.
If you have a gym membership, you can also enjoy benefits like free sauna access, a 50% ice bath discount, and more.
Meanwhile, if you’re not a member, dropping by Evolve Health Club is still a great deal since they only charge 150 baht a day or 500 baht a week.
On the downside, even though the place is clean and well-kept, we’re a bit iffy about a few rusty equipment (a clear sign of the gym’s age). It also has an open-air setting, so midday workouts can be uncomfortable.
Pros
- Affordable pricing
- Has a friendly and supportive gym community
- Has regularly scheduled Muay Thai classes
- Has various amenities
Cons
- No air conditioning
Well-equipped gym with amazing coaches
“Amazing gym, amazing coaches. Jay is a very nice and cool guy. Seeing how you improve really makes him happy. The gym is well equipped. After training you can enjoy the ice bath.”
Manuel Bischof, Google Review
Uncrowded and affordable gym with a good ice bath and sauna
“Good oldschool gym. Not crowded becsuse bigger and more popular gym is not far. 3 times a week you can do icebath (fully recommend). Strong sauna and icebath makes your day better 🚀 weekly ticket is just 500b, single entrance 150b (two times cheaper than Haad Rin gym). Fresh Towel and No limit water included …”

Phangan Muay Thai & Fitness Gym is the clear-cut choice when it comes to workouts and martial arts training.
What we like most is its spacious open-air workout space that blends traditional gym exercises and flashy Muay Thai training routines.
Given its name, we weren’t surprised that the gym’s Muay Thai classes stand out. The excellent group of fitness trainers and professional Muay Thai coaches they have on deck just makes every session feel more reassuring.
We also appreciate the wide array of fitness equipment available, from benches, weights, racks, and cardio machines. We were further impressed with the top-tier brands they own: Hammer Strength, Cybex, etc.
The best part? Their daily rate is slightly cheap at only 200 baht. But there are no membership options, so you’re stuck with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly training packages.
The only catch is you’ll likely be sweating buckets due to the open-air setting and the bathroom facilities’ cleanliness needs some improvement.
Pros
- Affordable pricing
- Specializes in Muay Thai training courses
- Has competent fitness trainers and Muay Thai coaches
- Has high-quality gym equipment
Cons
- Bathroom facilities need work
- No membership options and benefits
Spacious, great selection of gym equipment, and one small caveat
“The gym has branded equipment like Hammer Strength an other brands too.
The gym is really spacious that is something you will appreciate!
Only one minus: I would take care more of the showers.
They should use bleach to clean them, like “domestos”
so you will smell and see that it has been properly cleaned ( repaint would help to is as well )
Otherwise everything is perfect in the gym!”

Foreigner-friendly old school gym equipments
“I love the old school equipment. I am tall, 207cm (6’9”) and the equipment allows me to workout properly. For the leg press, I can extend my legs fully and the squat rack is more my size. In the other gyms on the island it’s more made for the “normal sized” (smaller people).
There is no aircon and that is a conscious choice. I wanna feel the heat and sweat. Don’t want to be in Thailand and feel the cold air.
There is no sauna or ice bath, and that’s good. To the gym I go to heat up the body and work on the it. When I want more heat and ice there are saunas for that who are focused on that.
I recommend all my friends to go to this place.
A satisfied resident on the island Koh Phangan”

M19 Muay Thai Gym stands out as one of the most budget-friendly on the island.
What we were impressed with, though, are its expert Muay Thai coaches who can train you up to professional level in as fast as 30 days—granted you’re in shape.
Though we didn’t try it, we spoke with several patrons to ask about their experience. The verdict? They loved the coaches’ deep technical knowledge, training approach, and attentiveness.
If you only want to reach your fitness goals, however, M19 is still a great option. They have a sizable selection of traditional gym equipment and cardio machines that will help you get the work done.
They’ve also got you covered with their excellent ice bath facility! Plus, there’s a small kitchen serving fresh and home-cooked Thai dishes on-ste which is great when you need a post-workout meal.
On the downside, they don’t offer membership plans, so your options are limited to daily, weekly, and monthly bookings. It’s a good thing their daily rate is only 150 baht.
Pros
- Affordable pricing
- Specializes in Muay Thai training courses
- Has professional Muay Thai coaches
- Friendly gym community
Cons
- No membership options and benefits
Superior quality gym experience at an affordable price
“Amazing gym, in a quiet neighbourhood away from the hustle and bustle (there are signs to direct you where to go from the main road). Jojo is an awesome trainer – I am very unfit but within 5 days I have seen so much improvement and trained harder than I have in my life. He really caters to your individual needs, whether complete beginner or professional, and you can feel that he is very passionate about Muay Thai! 100% recommend – even though it is around the same price as other gyms I have seen, the quality of the training feels superior, don’t think twice!”

Amazing gym with a friendly staff and reasonable pricing
