Today, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older are overweight. Among these, over 650 million adults are obese. Overall, about 13% of the world’s adult population (11% of men and 15% of women) were obese in 2019, according to a recent study.
Pretty scary especially because those numbers are growing years after years.
In the meantime, some people start to realise that they need to lose weight in order to live longer and in a good health, that’s why the fitness and weight loss holiday industry is getting bigger and bigger over the years.
More and more Fitness and weight loss retreats are opening around the world but Phuket is one of the most famous destinations for this type of holiday. Indeed, the climate is ideal all year round and there is a large choice of different retreats to suit everybody’s needs and budget.
We have selected what we think are the 5 best weight loss and fitness retreats of Phuket based on their own websites, the ease of access of information and clients reviews. Please note that all those retreats promote all-inclusive Programs but might not include the same services (laundry, transportation, massage…).
Of course, there are several other Fitness and Martial Art Camps on the island but they are targeted for advanced Fitness levels and specialised in physical performances rather than weight loss like AKA, Tiger Muay Thai or Unit27.
We have classified the Weight Loss Retreats by ascending price order and to ensure fairness between all the places, we only used the pictures taken by the guests appearing on their TripAdvisor’s page. The prices include Program + accommodation.
