Jungle Gym Koh Phangan

The gym is totally unsafe and the most expensive I have been in south Asia (250b). Many machines are broken or in bad conditions. Rack squats are not fixed, some bolts are so rusted, cable are not working good and more. At least they have a lot of variety. A minimum of maintenance must me do for the safety of the clients.

5/5 experience, Broke the low row cable machine when warming up, broke another cable machine on the third set. It's very easy to get hurt here The weight stack doesn't even come down after 1 rep thanks to the rust and worn down cables. +50% of this gym is useless since it's broken or rusted out

This is a great local gym to train at. The people complaining it's not fancy enough should just go to fit street and pay twice as much. Everything you need is there and the trainer is great and very skilled veteran fighter. The gym was also half the price of what other gyms have cost. This was the best part of my stay on the island.

We haven’t stayed in the hotel but we used the jungle gym for Muay Thai training. It was our first time and it was simply amazing. Hard but amazing. The trainer himself in his younger years fought in Canada, Ireland, France, Italy, etc so he is very knowledgeable, professional, polite and very pleasant. He definitely knows his stuff. Loved every minute of the training. Highly recommended.

Had a great stay here! It’s close enough to easily walk everywhere (including only a few min to the full moon party beach) but set back far enough to be fairly quiet at night. It was so nice having access to a gym and a pool and I even did a Muay Thai lesson. Marissa is very chill, hangs out with the guests, and has a wealth of information. All the hostel guests became a mini family while we were there. Would definitely stay again!

*We didn’t stay in the accommodation, only did the Muay Thai 1hr class* This experience was a highlight of our trip in Koh Phangnan, the trainer is a legend!! Extremely experienced and skilled man who fought in international competitions during his 20s, he was so patient & thoughtful, we saw him around the island a few times during the rest of our stay and always chatted with him, very friendly guy! Not to mention this class is the most affordable one we could find (400 THB pp) and the closest one to Haad Rin area. Definitely a must if in Koh Phangnan.

This is a review of specifically the Gym itself, not the muay Thai training. If you come here for regular hypertrophy training, you will be disappointed. I'm used to old school gyms and love those places with machines from the 70s and Arnold posters everywhere. But this place isn't that. Every single piece of equipment is completely covered in rust, leaving a think layer of brown rust and paint on your hands. The machines are neither well picked nor well maintained. Or maintained at all. Never oiled once. Leg press is stuck, chestpress half stuck. Cables feel like the resistance rather comes from the friction of the unoiled cables than from the actual stack. The list goes on. Most equipment is not or limited usable. And you leave the place covered in rust and dirt. Needless to say no ac.

It you are looking for a super chilled out well equipped accommodation in Koh Phagnan then this is it. Super friendly owner and deputy. Super soft beds, AC, individual bed light, super relaxed place. Gym is great a bit dated but clean, well kept and all kit works great. Close to everything. Top recommend stay.
