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.

Can’t wait to go back
Great fitness retreat - Helen who is the co-founder is absolutely incredible and made us feel comfortable. She was always around and even arranged extra activities for us like sound bath and meditation. The training is top quality, accommodation is pleasant, the hosts are efficient, the food is very good - going back very soon!

My 4-week journey at BeFitreat Phuket was nothing short of life-changing. I arrived hoping to regain my fitness and nutritional habits, and I left feeling revitalized and empowered.
The atmosphere at the retreat was incredibly positive and supportive, making it easy to stay motivated. The personalized guidance from my trainer, Rosie, was exceptional. She tailored workouts and meal plans to my specific needs and goals.
I highly recommend BeFitreat Phuket to anyone seeking a transformative fitness and wellness experience.

I would recommend this retreat highly to anyone considering it. From when I booked, I have been looked after and supported throughout. This experience not only supported my goals for gym progression, but training with Will has given me a strong basis to take home in my muscle gaining journey. He has also supported me through my diet, explaining what changes i need to make in order to see greater progression. The experience as a whole has been great.
Thank you Reece. We loved seeing you progress during your time with us and how you trusted the process, especially with the nutrition. The team all says hello and we wish you a great year ahead in 2025 with continued growth and progression.

I spent two weeks in October 2024 at BeFitreat, Egypt and I can’t thank myself enough for the time and money I invested in myself. It was just what I needed. Two weeks was enough time for me to reset and kickstart the healthier and mindful lifestyle I was aiming for. With the help of the coaching team, I was able to get the necessary knowledge and tools to take home with me to lay a solid foundation for my fitness journey.
The benefits of a retreat include having everything from food, accommodation and training, sorted and prepped for you, which can be daunting, troublesome, and overwhelming at times. The workouts were planned out by experienced and knowledgeable professionals. Optional excursions are also available as a reward and break from the hard work at the end of each week.
A huge bonus is being away from the every day distractions and burdens of life and being around like minded people, each with our own similar but individual goals, in an idyllic setting. We were able to encourage and support each other. I made some really good friends during my stay.
For me, the success of BeFitreat, Egypt lies in the people - the coaches, trainers, and fellow BeFitreaters/comrades in arms/new found friends.
Chen, a boxing pro. ran the best HIIT Boxing sessions that I’d ever experienced. He really did make cardio fun while learning and developing new boxing skills, as he got my heart rate pumping. He’s a great teacher and never has an hour gone by so fast while working out. His sessions are hard but enjoyable. Despite the sore and aching muscles I always looked forward to his boxing sessions. Three sessions a week didn’t feel like enough for me, so I gladly signed up for more.
Nubough is a brilliant yogi and Pilates expert. She’s an inspiration and helped me a lot with my mobility and core training. My muscles and body are grateful for what she put me through. I knew that this was a huge area of weakness for me, but I was up for the challenge. Though it often felt torturous at the time, she always left me feeling great and I took away the many things she taught me. I’m excited to continue at home where we left off.
Ramy, is a great coach that is able to tread that fine line of pushing you and encouraging you at the same time. He’s both your supporter and the reason for your problems. A sadist with a heart of gold. He’s brimming with knowledge and expertise which he is more than willing to share and tailor to fit you, your needs and goals. Ramy embodies what he preaches. He is a Guinness Book World Record Holder who has worked hard to achieve his goals. He demonstrates the power of a positive mindset and goal setting. As a living example of what’s expected of his patrons, he’s an inspiration.
Though skeptical, I came with an open mind, took a leap of faith and I’m glad I did. The coaches and fellow attendees made it worthwhile.
It was commendable what the team had organised for the first BeFitreat in Egypt, I’m sure future retreats will be even better.
Thank you Jemimah for your kind words. We loved having you and your presence is truly missed! Please come back soon!

Amazing experience
Hello, I want to share my experience with BeFitreatb. I spent a week in Thailand guided by this wonderful team and I want to recommend this retreat 100%. The coaches are charming, the food, the hotel, and the wonderful weather were amazing. I want to thank Verónica, Emma, and Tink for their support during my stay and for being so professional as a team and in following my plan. Thank you, I will return.

I was staying 5 weeks in the Befitreat program in Phuket. The Befitreat team offers an individually tailored transformation plan incl the required fitness & nutrition modules. However, if you just want to enjoy the huge offered fitness and fight training modules (via Tiger Muay Thai school) plus the amazing nutrition services (operated by PurePrep => fantastic team!) like myself it is also more than satisfying. For those having specific transformation goals the Befitreat team supports the participants in all required aspects (training, nutrition, recovery, mental health etc). Complementary info lessons about nutrition, meditation and further helpful topics provide excellent further value. I like also to highlight the regularly offered social events (hiking, dinner, muay thai show etc).
Thank you very much to the amazing Befitreat team: Helen, Emma, Tink (over all fitness & organisation) plus Rosie (nutrition expert) & Alex (Yoga).
I’m already looking forward to my next stay with Befitreat :-)!

Solo trip
What a great experience, I originally went for one week but loved it so much that I extended my stay. The fitness and the community there are really good , Helen, Emma and Tink were amazing in showing me around, booking classes etc.
7:30 class with Lucy is a must as well along with the Muay Thai sessions.

Ich war 2 Wochen dort und bin begeistert. Besonders die Trainer und Coaches waren der Hammer und haben mich auch emotional abgeholt. Wenn ich eine bestimmte Übung nicht machen konnte, habe ich immer eine Alternative bekommen. Ich nehme viele gute Impulse mit. DANKE! Ich komme gerne wieder.

If you want amazing trainers, and amazing results, along with such a cool bunch of people, this is the health retreat to come to! El Gouna and its people - a hidden Gem in the world...!

Having started my fitness journey a few years back, I’d found myself starting feeling unmotivated about whether I was doing and felt I needed a reset and so joined this retreat.
Doing this type of thing, solo, can be a bit daunting but, I can honestly say, don’t be put off by that. The team ensure you are onboarded and everyone there embrace you as part of the team. We are all in it together regardless of fitness level.
Great location and with delicious food provided, downtime from the sessions are also enjoyable. This along with massage and excursions, a great balance of hard work and a holiday feel.
I’d recommend this to anyone starting or resetting their fitness goals and I hope to be back sometime!
Thank you, Paula, for sharing your experience! We're delighted you felt welcomed and supported during your retreat. It's fantastic to hear that the balance of workouts and relaxation suited you. We look forward to your return to continue your journey!

Great experience- with a nice team which shares the same goal it was way easier to go through the workouts.
Had the option to choose between a schedule based more on fighting techniques or fitness based - would recommend a good mix.
The hosts made sure that there are plenty of activities next to the daily training - such as hikes, walks, yoga, mediation and excursions.
Mark, it was wonderful to meet you. Thank you for joining us in Phuket. We are excited to hear your plans for the future and where that might lead you. Hopefully our paths will cross again.

I joined this retreat to try and reset my fitness and health goals. I was skeptical and nervous about going because I had some knee issues and I had just had a pacemaker installed last year. I came there with fluid in my knees that I thought would limit my ability to do things. But coach Ramy showed me that I was in fact doing certain things incorrectly. I was able to squat without my knees hurting as much and also with doing the workouts I haven’t had to take my meds as well. If you are thinking about joining don’t hesitate the coaches are amazing. I wish I could have stayed longer. But I will continue with the things I’ve learned from Ramy to get my muscles stronger. The entire team was amazing Sarah was great, easy to talk to and share your thoughts and feeling about the program.
Thank you, Lakeycia! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience and progress with Coach Ramy and the team. It's inspiring to see how you've embraced the program, and we can't wait to welcome you back. Which I hear is very soon!!!

With a personal touch and a local flavor, Sarah created an amazing program which includes not only sessions of work out combined with yoga classes but also meals plan, excursions and nice, deep but gentle discussions on where we are and what we want to achieve. It may not be perfect, but this makes the experience unique! Thank you, Sarah! Follow your mission in this world!
Eugenia, thanks so much for kind words. We really are trying to build a life long experience which takes a lot of hard work but your kind words make it soo worth it!
