About The Body Health and Fitness Center

The Body Phangan is a premier fitness center that boasts a 150 m2 cardio, machine, and weights room, as well as an 80m2 multifunctional dance-yoga-pilates studio. It caters to a wide range of fitness enthusiasts, from beginners to professionals, and from the young to the old. The gym is air-conditioned, making it a comfortable environment for workouts. It is considered by many as the best gym on the island, with a wide variety of weights and machines, and a host of group classes. The gym has a personal approach and provides a welcoming European feeling.

However, it's not all praise for The Body Phangan. Some visitors have expressed dissatisfaction with the staff, describing them as unfriendly and lazy. Despite the gym's impressive equipment and reasonable pricing for the area, the inconsistent opening hours have been a source of frustration for some. It has been suggested that to ensure a workout, visitors should aim to arrive at the gym by 4 pm.

The gym's equipment has also been a point of contention. While some visitors have found the gym to be well-equipped, others have felt that it is not worth the price, citing a lack of treadmills and only one rocky bench. There have also been complaints about a staff member who is reportedly rude and lazy, often sitting on the equipment and only moving when absolutely necessary. This staff member has also been accused of swearing in Thai and expressing annoyance when gym-goers wipe down the machines with their towels.

Despite these criticisms, The Body Phangan has its merits. It is a bright and welcoming space with a comprehensive selection of free weights and machines, as well as a studio for classes. The polished concrete floors and good sound system contribute to a great general ambiance. Many visitors have found the trainers to be cool and helpful, and the equipment to be good. The gym is recommended for those who want to keep their bodies healthy and enjoy their holiday.

The Body Phangan is also the only gym on the island with air conditioning, and the staff speaks English. They also offer healthy protein shakes, adding to the overall fitness experience. However, potential visitors should be aware of the complaints about the staff's attitude. Some visitors have reported extraordinarily rude behavior from the staff, with one visitor even opting for a hotel room workout to avoid the establishment. Despite these criticisms, The Body Phangan remains a popular choice for fitness enthusiasts visiting the island.
