Tigress Muay Thai - Body Fit, Yoga, Fitness Training for Women in Phuket, Thailand

Introducing...the all new Tigress Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts Fitness Camp for women located in Phuket, Thailand.  Fitness classes designed for both men and women include BodyFit, and the upcoming CrossFit classes, along with Yoga and Muay Thai Kickboxing.




Coming soon: www.TigressMuayThai.com 

Actually, who knows if they are really going to do it or not.  But I thought of the idea and suggested it to Will over at Tiger Muay Thai after I've been getting a bunch of girls messaging me on facebook and though this blog asking me questions.  The most common questions I get from girls are if there are other girls training at the camp and if they would feel comfortable in the classes.

Tiger Muay Thai definitely has more girls training than any other gym around Thailand and they have the classes to support it.  Currently there are around 20 or so girls on the block at the various gyms and 200 guys.   BodyFit is a bootcamp style fitness class that focuses on toning, and conditioning.  At Phuket Top Team and Dragon Muay Thai there are usually only two or three girls at any given time but these girls are usually a bit more hardcore and into Muay Thai instead of just losing weight and fitness.  Some girls also like training at Top Team and Dragon just to get away from all the other girls and focus.

My idea was to create a website and program specifically for women that want to come train in Thailand and to answer all of the questions that girls have in regards to a fitness camp out here.  TMT could even go as far as making specific training gear and clothing sporting the pink and white Tigress Muay Thai logo.  




For me personally, I'm actually glad there aren't a ton of girls in my classes.  I left California and came to Thailand to get away from girls and from distractions.   When i'm at the camp, especially if I'm preparing for a fight I'm here eat, sleep and train.  

Warm Regards,

  3. Hi Johnny, just wondering if you have any update on this mma camp for women in Phuket? It sounds like exactly what I'm looking for (the standard camps don't really sound that safe for women and I would like to do a camp where I can train hard doing exercises tailored to women and meet some cool chicks to talk shop with). Do you know of any other programs specifically designed for women? Thanks in advance and cheers for the awesome blog!

    1. Hey Jaz, I don't think any gym has made progress with specific women classes but the BodyFit class at Tiger Muay Thai is really good for women. There are also a ton of girls in the beginners Muay Thai class which is cardio heavy as well. As for safety I know it's a concern especially if you're traveling alone in a new country but it's overall very safe there in Phuket, especially if you stay away from the party scene and just focus on training and doing tourist stuff that doesn't involve bangla road and drinking.

      There are always tons of other girls there and you will quickly make friends. And make friends with the guys too, you'll have tons of guys there protecting you. The Thai trainers sometimes get a bit pushy if you are a single girl, but as long as you don't put yourself in a situation where you are alone with them when they are drunk there's nothing to worry about.

      Let me know if you have any other questions Jaz.

  4. Once I thought about things like: why such information is for free here? Because when you write a book then at least on selling a book you get a percentage. Thank you and good luck on informing people more about it!
