My 3 week Fitness Journey
I booked onto the BeFitreat for 3 weeks and it was the best decision I made. It was a very last minute decision and a first solo trip for myself. The Cocoville hotel was a home away from home- extremely attentive staff, lovely Thai style bungalow and felt safe from the minute I arrived. The fitness street is another world and something that needs to be experienced by everyone. Tiger gym and all staff involved are extremely motivated, positive and push you beyond your limits. I have come away feeling stronger, lighter and even more motivated. Tink and Emma are great hosts, clear and consistent communication throughout the stay and they provide a range of evening activities for all guests within the retreat. This allowed for a community feel and bringing you closer together! I guarantee you will not want to leave and will be wanting to extend by day 2! I will 100% be coming to do this again

8 week body transformation
I booked the 8 week body transformation and so glad I did , the best present I’ve ever given to myself , I was apprehensive about going on my own but the girls, Emma, Tink and Helen made the whole experience stress free, easy and enjoyable ,all I had to do was think about training and sleeping as everything else was taken care of for me, from my food to enjoyable sunset kayaking. The accommodation at cocoville was amazing, the staff are amazing and it’s a very tranquil place which is what you need after a hard days training,
My fav part was my PT sessions with Will Straughen ,his guidance, support and knowledge are second to none he always went above and beyond his role as a PT and became a good friend , he also massively helped me reach a goal of what I thought was unachievable to lose 20kg in 8 weeks, great guy and top PT.
Highly recommend experience, it’s not just for fit gym goers, tiger gym cater for all levels of fitness and has a great welcoming community , so if you’re thinking of doing it but unsure then just book it you won’t have any regrets 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I had booked 4 week body transformation plan. Hotel was good, excursion was fun, meals were healthy. The best part of this retreat was training in Tiger Muay Thai and with my PT coach Veronica, her training & meal plans helped me achieve my goals. Great experience over all, can't wait to go back & train in Tiger all day!

I was there for 3 weeks.and this is not a Retreat!
Honestly this place is nothing like they say very unfortunate, they are just the middle man who connect you to the gym, they take money for it and give you no change no support! Like 0 movement from this people.
So if you want wellness/fitness plan for yourself you can just book a hotel and membership at TIGER Gym phuket they work with that gym. (The gym is amazing place great trainers )
and save some money which the less important when you go to other side of the world to make a change more then that it the disappointment! for relining on the middle man who call them selfs Retreat they don’t give you any extra services or benefits or any support that you need, they just like a tour guy that charge you a lot in the process. And I’m being really polite here with very basic information for experiences I had with with befitreat specifically!!! They make you feel also bad for asking questions or help very sad!
Only if you don’t know how to book hotels or memberships at the gym then go with befitreat. !!!

The best thing about my fitness experience in Phuket were the Personal Trainer sessions with my trainer Will Straughen. He built a program based on what I wanted both in terms of workouts and food. Even though I am not a beginner, I really appreciated his tips on form and the importance of mobility. Also, good fitness classes at Tiger. Great experience overall and a big thank you to everyone.

I choose the body transformation and will say it was the right decision. My coach Will has been the key element in securing my stay and the fact that I did reach my goal. Thx a lot Will for your support and guidance, This was a pleasure to work with. Thx to Befitreat for setting us up

I had an amazing experience with Befitreat. Tink and Emma were exceptional in organizing every detail of the retreat, from my comfortable accommodations to the well-planned excursions. Their attention to detail made the entire trip stress-free and truly enjoyable. I also want to highlight the outstanding professionalism of the personal trainer, Will. He patiently taught me how to perform effective, straightforward exercises, making my workouts both efficient and accessible. Overall, it was a fantastic retreat—highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized and professional fitness getaway.

I wanted to start the New years right after a long and stressful 2024 and do something exciting, challenging and healthy for myself somewhere beautiful and far away from home.
I found Be Fit online and after reading some reviews figured it was exactly what I was looking for so immediately signed up and got on the next flight… I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect but I knew I needed a Journey like this for myself.

I would have to stay that since arrival the Girls at be fit were very welcoming Everything from start to finish was very well organized and an absolute pleasure. Any questions or concernes I had Emma Tink’s and Helen were just a text away and minutes way to help me out with everything.

The training and classes, so much to chose from so many classes for all ages and shapes all day long from 6 am to 6 pm, my program had the meals included and the meals were delicious,

I had coach Will as my personal trainer he was my favourite and such a pleasure to work with one on one, very knowledgeable, helped me work around my injuries, learned and unlocked new work outs to make me stronger and improved in areas where it was needed , we still keep in touch and he was and is still a great help to me.

I had a consultation with Coach Will at the beginning of the journey and we tailored a meal plan that worked perfectly for me at the beginning of each week for what I was trying to achieve, very healthy and freshly made food at anytime I got to the cafeteria, he also explained what all the classes were and helped me pick from so many options,

The stay at the hotel was very pleasant and comfortable and just a short 5 min walk to everything.

I also had the pleasure to meet new friends from all over the world that were on the same Journey, some that we still keep I touch and have plans to meet soon again.

Overall a 10/10 experience for me, I highly recommend it to anyone and I will defiantly be going back again soon as I can. Thank you to the team at Be Fit, it was a pleasure meeting you all!

Well organized retreat run by a great group of girls. Went all in with the Body Transformation for 2 weeks and then extended one more week. Was a great choice as the body felt the change greatly during the final week. Be sure to get Will as your PT, he certainly helps to get the results you’re looking for and passionate about his job. Wills meal planning is on point and flexible if you want/need to switch things up.
Well done to Helen for putting a great team together.
My only negative is I didn’t stay longer.
See you guys again soon for another few weeks.

Reply from BeFitreat 2025.02.24

We wish you could have stayed longer :) Loved having you as part of the Retreat and watching you transform in the weeks you were with us. Good luck with your Hyrox, Will for sure was the right coach for you. See you again soon.

10/10 Trip can’t wait to come back!!
Myself and my husband came to Phuket for the Befitreat and had no real idea what to expect. We both really enjoy going to the gym maybe 3-4 times a week so we wanted to start off our year well. The fitness week was absolutely brilliant! The Befitreat team had everything organised so well! I always felt like if anything atall was needed we could ask. It was honestly one of the best weeks we have ever done, I’m just sad we didn’t start this type of trip sooner! The variety of classes was great, and the Befitreat team gave lots of extra bits to seal the deal! We met some amazing people and the trainers at the gym were so good! We did the body transformation package and have to admit having the food already sorted made the week that bit more organisied and easier to stay healthy! I really can’t fault the trip. We had Will as our PT who was fantastic and gave us the best week’s instruction along with some fantastic recommendations! Emma and Tink were our hosts who knocked it out of the park and then Helen who essentially made the whole trip better as she was just always there when you needed anything and always smiling when you see her about. Great conversations, great ppl, great company! While working out 😎! Already can’t wait to come back!!

Thank you, Deirdre! We're delighted you and your husband enjoyed the BeFitreat. It's fantastic to hear how much you appreciated the variety and organization. We'll pass on your kind words to Will, Emma, Tink, and Helen. Looking forward to welcoming you back!

My wife and I decided to start 2025 by putting a healthy foot forward and joined BeFitreat Thailand for a 7 day retreat. The entire experience was well beyond expectation. Whilst the range of classes, food and drinks (the smoothies .... wow!!!), day trips and comradery were extraordinary, the staff (Tink, Emma and Helen) really made the experience. We're already planning our next trip, though the next stint will be for a couple of weeks, at least.
Thank you guys, we thoroughly enjoyed every moment!

Great experience
I recently attended the 7-day Befitreat in Thailand, and it was an incredible experience!

The variety of training sessions on offer was fantastic, from group workouts to Muay Thai classes that were both challenging and fun. The personal training sessions with Will were a highlight for me tailored to my fitness level and goals.

Every meal was thoughtfully prepared, nutritious, and enjoyable.

Beyond the fitness aspect, what truly set this camp apart was the sense of community and encouragement from fellow participants which made every workout rewarding.

I stayed for 3 weeks on the Body Transformation program with BeFitreat, and it was an unforgettable experience! My PT sessions with Mike were super challenging, but I learned so much and pushed my limits every single time.

Coming from California, this was my first time in Thailand, and it was incredible to experience a completely different world. As a business owner, I needed a break from the stress of running a business, and being around such highly motivated people was exactly what I needed to recharge.

I took the cooking class as one of the excursions and made some epic Thai Panang Curry! Such a fun and unique experience! Renting a scooter and exploring Phuket was another highlight on this beautiful island.

The food and meal plan at Pure Prep were amazing, perfectly aligned with my goals while still being delicious. I managed to lose 5 kg during my stay but still had plenty of fun, especially enjoying unique dishes at the local markets.

The hotel room was really nice and refreshing, and a great place to relax after an intense workout day. The area around the Fitness Street was perfect, with healthy food spots, coffee spots, and an overall great vibe everywhere you go.

I can’t recommend BeFitreat enough if you’re looking to transform your body while still having an enjoyable and balanced experience. I’ll definitely be back!

In Response to the owners comments -

. This was a pilot 8-week body transformation program offered at a discounted rate as we launched and learned.

Almost £1200 is not a discounted rate and as pilot scheme you should then not be making promises on your website that you can’t deliver !

Our team did respond to individual concerns by offering room changes and different trainers where possible,

NEVER at any point was I offered a change in rooms or a change in trainers , in fact one of the group actually paid extra to move rooms and in the end left halfway through her trip and went to s different hotel because she was soo disappointed with the retreat.

As for my ‘free’ trip to Thailand, you’re expecting me to pay for a very expensive air fare to risk broken promises and disappointments once again, which I’m not prepared to do.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about BeFitreat Egypt. We’re pleased you enjoyed elements like Nicole’s food and Nubough’s guidance, but we understand your disappointment with the hotel environment, construction noise, and fitness equipment. This was a pilot 8-week body transformation program offered at a discounted rate as we launched and learned.

Our team did respond to individual concerns by offering room changes and different trainers where possible, and while the construction was outside our control, we acknowledge it impacted your experience. We also recognize that fitness needs vary among guests; many found the sessions challenging, but we appreciate that not everyone felt the same way.

We value your feedback and are committed to addressing these points before relaunching BeFitreat in Egypt. As you know, we offered you a free stay at our Thailand retreat—where guests consistently give five-star reviews—so you can experience the true BeFitreat standard. We hope we can restore your confidence in us and thank you again for helping us improve.

Beware! Disappointment almost guaranteed.
BEWARE!!!! This is likely NOT what you will expect. I booked a body transformation package - to attend for 6 weeks.This is not a retreat in any way shape or form! The gym is 500 metres up the road from the accommodation. The cafe is 150metres up the road in the opposite direction. For those with a meal package included you will be microwaving your dinners, as the cafe is only open until 5pm. If you are expecting an opportunity where you build a social, empowering group from the retreat attendees - this is not going to happen. There is not even an opportunity to enjoy your evening meals together if on the meal packages.The fitness offerings are all geared towards people who are already "in shape". There is no tailoring of exercise programs to your fitness level. There is no gentle exercise offered.The additional health and wellness offerings are ad hoc and average at best. When asked about this eg. beach workouts etc. the reply was that these are only offered when Tiger Muay Thai offer them. They are not a part of the retreat - although all of their web photos show people doing beach workouts.dThey had mentioned meditation, sound healing etc. but until asked about them and why they hadnt been offered, I was advised that they are not normally offered, however would look into this to satisfy my complaint. This was an additional budget and not normal.They advertise 1 on 1 Muay Thai sessions - which is actually small group sessions.They advertise ice baths included - but you can only attend these in a group. Not individually. So many inconsistencies and disappointments to mention in this space.If you are looking for a true retreat - this is not the place for you. Want gym membership with accommodation - then this will work - although it would be a hell of a lot cheaper to just book yourself. I was promised a refund after checking out of the retreat after only 2 weeks as per the points above being far from what they were advertising - only to never have received the almost USD$3000 promised. They have advised that although promised, the refund would only be made if I agreed to not write a review. Please note that while the reviews of other attendees at the time, do not appear to have been updated as yet - there were multiple injuries due to the lack of care within the program. No assistance was offered to the injured parties in relation to having their meals brought in, assistance with hospital visits / referrals etc.This is a 100% money grab with a no care no responsibiilty mind set.

Reply from BeFitreat 2025.01.15

We’re truly sorry to read your review and to hear that your experience with BeFitreat didn’t meet your expectations. As a team deeply dedicated to providing a positive and supportive environment for all our guests, it’s disheartening to know you felt otherwise.

We take injuries and well-being very seriously. Our team provides guidance on accessing physiotherapists on Fitness Street, as well as hospital recommendations when requested. For body transformation programs, personal trainers work with guests on an individual basis to tailor their journey and can support anyone with injuries. Additionally, our welcome letter includes all necessary hospital information for your convenience.

Our marketing is always transparent, and we offer opportunities to speak with our team before arrival to address any questions or concerns. On our pre-retreat call you confirmed to us that you had done your research prior to joining.

It seems there may have been some misunderstandings regarding how BeFitreat operates. For example:
• 1-on-1 Muay Thai training is conducted in a group setting, with each guest paired with an individual coach.
• Ice baths are offered as a shared community experience but are entirely optional and can be taken anytime.
• We provide additional wellness activities, such as restorative yoga and sound healing, at no extra cost and are continuing to develop our wellness program.

We are continually refining our program, and since your visit, our meal prep restaurant has extended it's operating hours and closes at 7.30pm (in the past it was 6pm).

While we respect everyone’s right to share their experiences, it’s important to note that your expectations may not have aligned with the package you selected. Your body transformation package was clearly outlined during the booking process and on our website.

We did our utmost to address your concerns during your stay in Phuket. Ultimately, you chose to leave and continue your holiday elsewhere in Thailand. We regret that we couldn’t provide the experience you were looking for, but we value your feedback as it helps us improve.

We wish you all the best on your wellness journey
