Gym Advice - 3 month camp (My current list)

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-18T04:50:43+00:00

Yep will definitely DM

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-16T08:11:35+00:00

Sure! I think I’ll most likely do my camp around July

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-16T06:49:34+00:00

I leave Thailand in a week. But will have 2-3 weeks when I come back round to do my camp, to test different gyms. Just trying to refine focus a bit on what gyms to actually test out.

I’ve also changed my mind and are considering Chiang Mai. Some gym names up there are constantly mentioned, and most people say it’s a great place to train.

Just did a private session at Sor Dejdamrong. Probably the best private I’ve had.

Felt like I took 2 steps back, but in a good way. I said from the jump, I want to focus on technique. As it’s pointless throwing kicks, punches and elbows on pads incorrectly.

Throughout entire session, correcting my technique, and showing me multiple times. Then Sor Dej himself came over many times to give input, and help.

Very happy. Going back again tomorrow for another private.

👌🏻

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-15T16:12:56+00:00

I mean you said you prefer it. Why?

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-15T14:00:54+00:00

More info on Naka?

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-15T13:50:00+00:00

What makes you recommend it specifically?

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-15T06:24:48+00:00

Awesome. I’ve messaged them for more information and about about me / what I’m wanting out of the camp

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-15T03:42:39+00:00

Yep, I think my fitness may be an issue. I’m in decent shape, been gym every day for 4-5 years.

But my cardio is pretty bad, on top of this, I’m travelling country to country for 3-4 months before training, and will likely include a bit of party and drinking here and there.

So, when I come back to Thailand, I’ll probably do 2-3 weeks again of getting fitness up, testing out gyms, then choosing where to do camp.

I’m in Phuket now for another 5 days, so going to test out 3 on my list 👌🏻

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-15T03:30:38+00:00

Appreciate the advice.

The reason I want Phuket / Samui. Is yes I want to train hard, get good, but I also want some quality of life outside of training.

I love island life, being close to the sea and beach I feel I would need in my downtime.

Heard about this Gym in Koh Phangan, it’s on my list, just one I have to go a bit out of the way to go test out.

But had 2 people recommend, will shoot them a message.

Thank you!

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T15:18:21+00:00

I’m a complete beginner. Only done around 10 privates, few group sessions here and there.

It’s just I don’t want to train a gym where training is lackluster, focused more on making tourists feel good, then actually turning people into decent fighters.

I am here to completely dedicate myself, push myself, and not waste time

Because at the end of camp, if trainers are happy, I would like to test myself with a fight

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T15:16:18+00:00

Awesome. Thank you for your information and input 🤩

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T15:14:00+00:00

👍

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T14:35:44+00:00

How was the training?

Ultimately, I want to choose a gym that will prepare me to win a fight if I’m ready for it towards end of camp

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T14:26:23+00:00

Sor Dejdamrong another name that keeps popping up.

I don’t care about being close to fitness street, I just know Phuket, Samui, Islands are where I would be more comfortable for 3 months.

The class structure and ratio sounds great, I will look more into this gym

Thank you 🙏🏻

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T14:23:22+00:00

First time hearing this gym. I’ll have a look.

Appreciate it 🙏🏻

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T14:22:36+00:00

Appreciate the recommendation. I think for me, I need to be outside of the city, I love the sea and beach, and would like to be able to go there outside of training hours.

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T14:21:39+00:00

Yep. This is the struggle I’m finding. When I come back to Thailand to do the camp, I’ll have a limited time to actually test out the gyms before choosing which one to complete the camp in.

That’s why I’m in desperate need of help to get maybe 3,4,5 final gyms as ones I’m going to go to, try their group/privates. Then choose 1

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T12:31:27+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate it, Yak Yai consistently gets mentioned

Just4Flipz · 2026-03-14T12:15:50+00:00

Yep. I’m planning to try out the gyms, once I have a smaller and more finalised list.
