As well, if you are looking for hotels or resorts accommodation at Koh Tao, check this complete guide with the explanation of the areas and the best selection depending on your travel profile.
You are on one of the smallest inhabited islands of the Gulf of Thailand, surrounded on that 21km2 by just clear water and jungle, where the space for pedestrians is almost inexistent and the longest run you could do is along Sairee Beach around 2 kilometers. With the days passing during your stay in Koh Tao, whether is short or long stay, the urge to move your body will start to call you. The possibilities of long walks to increase your steps counting on the island are only at Sairee Beach since the roadside has barely space for pedestrians and, we all know the Southeast Asia streets are motorbike and car’s friendly but not pedestrians.
The benefits to exercise and keep healthy are numerous even during your holidays, to burn that extra calories from shots, drinks, or desserts you are enjoying without the later blame.
Koh Tao Gym and Fitness
The one I visited alone, later with a friend and it was the best gym in Koh Tao! With two differentiated floors, it has a very affordable day pass for 200 THB and competitive prices for the long term too (e.g.: 1 week for 1000 THB or 2500 THB monthly). With the day pass you will have a towel and bottle of water included. You can ask for a locker too and they will give you the key for one of them inside the first floor (in the second they have lockers too).
Opening hours are from 7:30 AM to 9 PM Monday to Sunday so is easy you will find some time to schedule a training time for you. And one of the most important things for a gym in Southeast Asia and humid and warm climate as in Koh Tao. This gym has A/C which is such a pleasure to training on it and no suffer from extra heat. To have A/C in some of the gyms I visited in Southeast Asia is like a luxury thing and the most you will find is some noisy fans, so that Koh Tao Gym and Fitness has A/C makes it the best gym in Koh Tao!
I have breakdown by floors what you will find at the best gym in Koh Tao to exercise, noting that in both you have toilets available.
First floor at Koh Tao Gym and Fitness
Plenty of gym machines for quads, legs, back and arms, 4 to 5 multi position benches, 2 big sets of dumbbells of different weights (from 1 to 10kg and the other up to 20kg) and grips for the multipower machines. Different barbells and weights available too.
Second floor at Koh Tao Gym and Fitness
Going upstairs, you can find several cardio machines, fighting and fitness area. You will find plenty of free space, yoga mats, gymnastic rings, climbing ropes, wall bars, ladders at different levels, bars to do push ups and cardio zone with some bikes and treadmills. Important to add there are a set of kettlebells and medicine balls, jumping ropes, battle rope with a guide to do different modalities, stability and yoga balls, resistance and elastic bands and even a boxing area! With boxing gloves available at disposal.
As not everything could be perfect, one disadvantage that I found is that there are no group lessons offered at Koh Tao Gym and Fitness. If you are more up to do a group lesson, you should try the Muay Thai lessons available in the places I recommend you here: X
Sincerely, I can only recommend you this gym to exercise during your stay at Koh Tao.
