Hi guys
After all your feedback in the last thread, I have decided to go to Thailand! I am considering Phuket as my girlfriend wants to come along. For her, the trip is mostly sightseeing and relaxing (beaches and temples) but she may want to pop into a class every now and then. For me, I am looking at 2x a day + a private if my body can withstand the training. I used to be an amateur kick boxer and have 1 year of Muay Thai training. My girlfriend has 6 months experience.
I have done a few searches on Sherdog and I know Sinbi was highly recommended by a lot of our members during 2007-2010. However, recent reviews (both here and on the other sites) say that it is now too big and commercialised. Can anyone who went in 2016/2017 confirm/deny this please? I would love to join a reputable gym but am not looking for a boxercise class.
Alternatively, does anyone have a recommendation for another gym in Phuket? I've also heard of Sitsonpeenong (both the Phuket and Bangkok locations) being really good. I haven't read any Sherdogger reviews on Sumalee but I've also seen that gym come up on social media a lot and the place looks really clean. Ultimately, I am looking for 2-3 weeks of hard training that will cater to both her and my level. The camp should ideally offer hard training, good accomodation and be friendly to foreigners/women.
Thanks guys!
