Train Muay Thai In Paradise

“This gym is a 10/10 for anyone looking to level up their striking while enjoying the best of Phuket. The facilities are top-tier, exceptionally clean, and the friendly trainers make training enjoyable. What really sets this gym apart is its location — nestled in a much greener, laid-back part of Phuket surrounded by a peaceful local community. Will definitely come back!”

“Best gym in Phuket, authentic Muay Thai. Couldn't recommend it more. Owner Jacob, more than welcoming and accommodating. Can't wait to go back.”

“Trained here for a couple of weeks while in Phuket and I knew I had to leave a review as soon as I got home! R1 is such a great gym, honestly one of the best I've visited in Thailand. Everyone was so welcoming no matter what level you're at — I saw total beginners (like myself) and proper fighters on the same pads, and nobody makes you feel out of place. Really is a one-stop shop — you don't need to go anywhere else. If you're looking for a Muay Thai gym in Phuket then definitely check these guys out!”

“Great atmosphere and authentic Muay Thai training. A welcoming gym with a genuine passion for the sport.”

“We travelled to Phuket as a family to celebrate the opening of R1 Muay Thai and had an absolutely amazing experience.

Definitely a highlight of our family trip — highly recommended for anyone looking to train in a top-notch, friendly environment!”

“Great gym, great atmosphere! I'm a beginner and I felt like they catered to my needs, and all the advanced guys were friendly and happy to help me out with tips and questions. The owner is so friendly and open — like the older brother I never had! I've been to Thailand before to try Muay Thai but he really made it a less intimidating experience for me. Such a fabulous time — it's a family gym environment and I can't wait to come back!”

The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and create a motivating environment to improve yourself. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to train and recover.”

“Last week I had my first private lesson with Kru Mai, and I'm really glad I did. I've trained in many Muay Thai gyms before, and this session was different. It wasn't just pad work like you often get elsewhere — Kru Mai paid close attention to my technique and gave me a lot of useful advice to improve my kicks, punches, and overall striking. A true expert who can help you take your Muay Thai to the next level. This gym will definitely be my new training home.”
