Spent 3 weeks with Befit and truly can say it was one of the best decisions I have made! The team is amazing and Phuket’s fitness street is one of the most incredible place I have been to, energy is infectious and your adventure is around the corner. Highly recommend to anyone who is curious about fitness and looking for some guidance.
Choosing Befit has probably been the best thing I’ve done in the past 7–8 years. I found a group of incredible people who were ready to help me step by step on my journey to get back in shape. I’ve been there for 9 weeks, and my results have gone way beyond my expectations. On top of that, the biggest gift of this experience is that I feel I’ve created bonds with some amazing people that I’m sure will last a lifetime. I Absolutely recommend it!
It was a wonderful experience
The team is engaged and helpful
My interaction with Sam made all the difference
What befit does is not very different from others , but how they do it is what made a difference to me . You have an option to choose your fitness package if you go to the street , but the social environment and the fact that they are genuinely there for you made all the difference, from the meal plan( which was great ) to the help with the accommodations etc.
I would want them to look at the quality of the scan centre and the massage parlour that they work with as an improvement
Just wrapped up two incredible weeks at Befit Retreat in Phuket, and it was exactly what I needed.
The program blends strength training, mobility work, and Muay Thai, and it’s designed in a way that pushes you while still meeting you where you are. Every day felt purposeful — challenging sessions, great coaching, and real progress you can feel in your body.
What I appreciated most was how the retreat helps you rediscover what your body can do. By the end of the two weeks I felt stronger, more mobile, and more confident moving than I have in a long time.
The environment is supportive, the trainers are knowledgeable, and the mix of training styles keeps things engaging the entire time. It’s intense, but in the best way.
If you’re looking for something that goes beyond a typical fitness trip and actually resets your relationship with training and movement, Befit Retreat in Phuket is a great experience.
7 weeks of really focussing on myself ……..everyone should do this at least once in their lives . Training hard, eating healthy and learning about your body. Most importantly a time to reflect on yourself and what you want out of life. The training in at Tiger was both challenging and social but for the personal training with Sam is what is going to impact me more going forward. Understanding how I move my body to get better results and strength was eye opening. Sam really took the time to learn about me and my goals for the body transformation and moving forward. Happy to say I reached m goals! Sam your encouragement was epic. Helen is Amazing in so many ways to everyone who stays with Befit ❤️. Thank you also to Patti with the biggest smile, kind heart and boundless energy.
Great work Befit 💪

Already miss the BeFitreat family and can’t wait to go back !
Do not hesitate , do not wait , do not think twice about booking here . They have a great team , location , and considerate , organized support system. As soon as you meet them you’ll feel like you have family in Thailand . As a solo female traveler I felt safe and comfortable. Kicked my ass and I had fun too ! They will guide you through everything and take you to the best gym on Fitness street . Start with location the whole street is full of people focused on improving themselves , nobody is worrying about or judging you . Tiger gym is Muay Thai but they’re so much more too . They also have classes for cardio , yoga , beach workout, hike to Buddha- all kinds . Personal training sessions, Sam is there for you . He will guide you through the machines , the weights . He’ll give you what you need to make you feel confident about what to do at the gym . Highly recommend you take Sams personal training sessions and do the meal plan . Sam did all the thinking for you so you don’t have to worry about where , what , macros , portions or whatever . And Pure Prep makes delicious fresh food . Befitreat will greet you , guide you , you won’t ever feel like you are lost or alone . Others on Befitreat program are there from all over the world so you can go to classes and excursions together or u can go alone but you’ll see familiar faces and feel like you belong there .

They’ll help you with where to stay , workouts , where to eat , where to do laundry , massage , weekend excursions in town , whatever you are worrying about just stop , they’ve got your back . I researched for months & was comparing 3 or 4 programs then Sam reached out to me and was there to answer any questions I had and help me with booking . Before I left for Phuket Helen reached out and we video chat she explained a few more things . She is on top of everything ! I set out already having two friends there and with no doubts I picked the right team . That’s how you feel with BeFitreat like you have a team behind you even before you get there .

Befit Fitness Retreat was exactly what I needed. After a long period of not training, it really helped me restart my fitness and get back into a solid routine. The sessions were challenging but supportive, and I’ve left feeling stronger and more motivated.
The Befit crew were great — encouraging, professional, and genuinely supportive throughout. Highly recommend.

The team was incredible! I had the pleasure of working with Patti for personal training, and she was amazing. She introduced me to new techniques and broke down skills in a way that made them easy to understand and improved my skills. I’m so glad I invested in this experience for myself while staying at Cocoville Resort. Highly recommended!

A fantastic reset for my body and mind in setting a solid foundation for the future.
I originally signed up for the 4 week transformation programme with focus on executives, but after a week I realised this was going to be an amazing experience so I extended to 6 weeks.
Many of the other reviews here summarise the experience with Befit and fitness street, but for me there are 4 main reasons why I am giving a 5 star rating. In no particular order:
1. Programme - flexibility - organisation
The Befit team of Helen, Patti and Sam do an outstanding job of welcoming you, explaining all the different fitness classes options, bringing you along to the first day of classes and Pure Prep, and making you feel part of the community. For those on the meal plan, Sam does a great job to explain the plan and working with you to confirm your outcomes.
Once this framework is set up, you then have the flexibility to chose which classes, how many, along with being able to talk with Helen, Patti or Sam during the week for any question you have. All along with reminders of available classes or activities you can choose to attend. Weekly check-ins on a Friday are also scheduled to see how you are feeling, progress against goals and plans for the next week.
2. Tiger Muay Thai gym facilities and coaches
This gym is the best I have been to in the world. Gym at Tiger means there are 9 covered gyms and 1 enclosed weight room. It is an inspiring atmosphere with people from all over the world, at varying levels of fitness, training all different disciplines. All the while everyone is welcoming no matter what your level.
The Tiger coaches are all amazing - whether it is for fitness (Thanks Lucy!) or Muay Thai (Thank Kru Mart!)
3. Personal Training (PT)
A huge shout out to Sam for making my 6 weeks an amazing journey and pushing me each time - and the results showed at the end! I had 2 PT’s per week with Sam, which we focused on different weight lifting, helped with my nutrition, stretching, and other fitness goals.
4. Weekly evening Yoga
This was a highlight each Wednesday as the focus was on the mind. Helen did an outstanding job each week guiding us through each session, allowing us to be grateful for our time there and helping to clear our mind. It was truly an emotional and empowering session each week. Thank you again Helen!
In Summary:
At the end of the 6 weeks I had exceeded my goals and expectations. This solid foundation in body and mind has set me up for the journey ahead and am prepared for my next work challenge. I will return to Befit again in the future.
I can highly recommend Befit and the amazing team of Helen, Patti and Sam.

Hi Alan, Your results speak for themselves. It was a pleasure to welcome you to BeFitreat and see how you gave everything to the program and therefore got the results that you did. What a reset for your mind and body ahead of your new projects. As we always say, it's such a gift to give to yourself. We hope you continue your love for Muay Thai back home and that one day you come and visit us again.

I spent 4 weeks at Befitreat this past January,and it was really the best thing I could have done for myself. Everything ran like clockwork...a timetable for muay Thai training AND a timetable for strength and conditioning classes like HIT and Tabata,so we were spoilt for choice,and the instructors were incredible and structured their classes around different muscle groups. We also had a restaurant that broke down our meals into macros so you could assess how much protein etc you wanted per meal. Meal plans are devised for those on the transformation packages along with personal training. The hosts, Helen and Patti, were always available for questions, support and knowledge, and organised everything, so we really didn't have to think about a anything other than what classes to go to,and Helen's yoga evenings, we're pure bliss....what a beautiful soul she is and so giving of her time and energy.
I loved everything about this experience, so perhaps I will make this a yearly pilgrimage 😄 🤣 definitely recommend to anyone wanting to tone up,lose weight or to get fitter!

Hi Sam, You inspired us all and became an integral part of the group from the start, always there, supporting others. Your positive attitude to everything really shows and we love that you carried on your adventure and solo travel. Keep up with your fitness and your yoga and we hope that you progress with plans to perhaps become a coach :) As always, enjoy life and see you next time.
I can hand-on-heart say choosing Befit for my Thailand solo trip in December was the best decision I could have made. I already felt comforted from all the glowing reviews I read before arriving but I genuinely can say they were all sooo right to say how awesome the experience is- not just the packages available or how having Befit organise it all makes the experience so much easier in terms of your accommodation (which I loved - yay, Cocoville!), where to work out and how to get the nutrition you’d want or need, but more than anything, they offered an incredible community.
I had originally booked for 3 weeks, and , much like everyone else who was part of Befit, extended my stay. My only bugbear is that I was only able to extend my trip by another week but that was due to needing to head back to Dubai to work. I’d still be there now if I could! From the start, I felt welcomed, cared for and as I’ll keep reiterating, part of a beautiful community. The Befit team are fantastic. Helen, with her warmth, wisdom and genuine ability to connect with us all on such a deep and meaningful level,made me (and everyone, in fact),feel valued and she added that extra human touch to an experience, which, for a lot of people new to the environment may feel overwhelming, and so I want to give the biggest thank you to Befit for being much more than just a company. Although I didn’t have sessions with Patti or Sam, they too made it all feel like I’m around family. For anyone undecided about whether to commit to going with Befit, the fact that I’ve made deep and genuine friendships there that I’m going to reunite with next month (and we’re all living in different parts of the world) and we’re already planning our return, truly says a lot about what you gain from coming to Phuket to fitness street with Befit. I loved every second and I can’t wait to return!

Loyette, we loved having your energy with us. Seeing your confidence grow and shine in every moment. The trip for you was not only about fitness, but a representation of new beginnings and we love how you embraced it. We know you've continued your Muay Thai back home which is fabulous. Wishing you lots of happiness and hope to see you back in Phuket soon.
I spent four weeks at the Phuket fitness retreat BeFitreat and honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. From day one, the onboarding and ongoing support from Helen, Patti, and Sam made everything feel seamless and reassuring—they’re incredibly attentive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your progress.
One of the most special parts of the experience was the community spirit: everyone I met at the retreat supported and cheered each other on, which created such a positive, motivating environment where you really feel like you’re in it together. Everyone on the retreat came from different walks of life and different fitness levels so at no point did I feel out my depth.
The accommodation I had at Cocoville was fantastic—comfortable, well-located, and made even better by the incredibly friendly and helpful staff who always went out of their way to make you feel at home. On the days and times where I wasn't training it was great to laze by the pool or relax in my room.
I was on the Transformation Lite package and so the meal plan was another standout for me: it was easy to follow, delicious, and very flexible. Any time I wanted or needed to adjust meals to suit my preferences, Sam always helped. Not having to think about my meals was incredibly helpful towards my weight loss journey.
As for the exercise, the range of classes available at Tiger was excellent, especially the morning yoga and Muay Thai, which quickly became highlights of my weekly routine. There are classes for all levels and abilities, and the coaches are really encouraging or helpful when you need them. I also appreciated how they made sure everyone warmed up and cooled down before/after every session too.
If you’re even slightly on the fence about booking BeFitreat, take this as your sign—go for it. You’ll be supported, challenged, and inspired in the best possible way, and I can confidently say you won’t regret it for a second. At the very least, you will be surrounded by people who want to make positive changes to their lives, and that is very infectious.

Not my first trip to Thailand, or my first fitness camp. However, this trip was seamlessly coordinated by Helen who is like a concierge service when on Fitness street if you need reasonable assistance. It was made incredibly easy from arriving at one of the lovely hotels selected by Be Fitreat to attending the classes at Tiger gym. With Helen’s wealth of knowledge of the area and industry she was able to always point me in the right direction. I was on the Fitness package but still ate most of my meals at the location where Lite and Transformation have theirs as this encouraged great camaraderie. On fitness street where there are many many men I am so pleased that I went with Be Fitreat, run by a woman, who champions women and has a very open approach. What was so nice is that Befitreat attracts such a variety of people so there are always interesting people to talk with.
Thank you Helen it was a really fabulous couple of weeks where your presence made me feel more relaxed in the masculine environment and then after a few days I felt confident in said environment.

Jess :) we miss you. We appreciate your genuine feedback and yes, it's so true, we attract people from all walks of life who are interesting and share their experiences with others which makes our Community so special. You were a big part of that too. Always around for a chat and up for an adventure. We know your travels have now taken you back to the other side of the world, so wishing you all the best there for now and hope we get to see you again when you're next in SE Asia.
One of the best things I’ve ever done. Exceeded my expectations. Fun, motivating and revitalising, Helen, Patti and Sam make a great team bringing energy and expertise to create a really special experience for everyone. I’d recommend it highly.

Hi Barb. You became part of us :) 4 weeks extended to 6, showed how you truly immersed yourself and enjoyed it. Your confidence in the gym and classes was noticed by all and a true credit to the hard work and trust you put in to the program. Wishing you all the best and hope you continue to celebrate life in full.
