- Good morning, Buddha run running up to the Big Buddha.
Fitness Street vlogs, welcome back, I can't talk.
(intense rock music)
(shouting) (slapping)
(shouting)
(water gurgling)
(shouting) (boxing gloves smacking)
Guys, good morning,
we're at the bottom-- - The baby.
We're at the bottom of the Big Buddha run
and there are elephants-- - Bottom (laughs).
- the bottom of the hill.
There are elephants at the start point, look.
Look at this-- - Babies.
- [Brad] Look at this one!
- [Woman] Don't even know anymore.
- How rad is that guys?
This is the Big Buddha run, the beginning.
How rad is that, how often can you say
that you're starting a run with elephants?
- [Instructor] Three, two, one, go.
- [Brand] Let's go!
- [Instructor] Enjoy.
(mellow music)
- Hey, my friends, if you ever decide to do
the Big Buddha run, I'm halfway through it,
halfway there now,
You run across these elephant sanctuaries, I guess
and, you know, it's just a really beautiful run, like,
how often can you say that you've done a fitness jog,
run or crawl, however you wanna call it, past elephants?
It's about seven o'clock in the morning,
there are no doubt, some very, very steep parts
of this trail, mind you, you are sharing it
with the main road so, do be careful with scooters
going past you.
But it' hard to see angles and gradients on video,
but trust me guys, this is like, 10%, 9%,
and I have an injured calf, like, I tore my calf,
two weeks ago and I'm, like, walking like a crab,
I'm walking sideways.
(breathing deeply)
(suspenseful, intense music)
(breathing deeply)
There's something about my injury, like, you know,
when I'm doing this run,
it puts a lot of load on the calves.
I know some people have given me a lecture about that,
but I listen to my body, you listen to your body,
you make your own decisions, but (exhales sharply)
I'm feeling a lot more lactic acid buildup
in the right calf, circulation issue, I guess.
I've torn it, like, three times in four months,
so the physio's told me, if you keep movement through it,
keep it moving, don't keep it compressed,
don't keep it compressed all the time.
You have these beautiful palm trees surrounding you,
and this time of the morning, there's no one
around really, nothing's even really open, amazing views,
Oh, I've been overtaken now!
I've been overtaken.
I'm talking too much, see?
I'm trying to give you guys some value.
It's not always about winning!
It's about the journey, as they say.
This place here, this is the place I was talking about,
it's called "Sunset Mountain."
Look at that's the sign, tables and chairs,
they've got the tarp around it 'cause it's closed.
Look at the view, like, that's just incredible.
This is the finish line, Big Buddha finish line.
I'll show you, look,
look at it!
- [Robyn] You did it, well done!
- [Brad] Okay say it again,
so we have a record here, what was it?
- 23:25--
- 23:25.
- Sorry (laughs).
- 23:25 for this one.
We're all done.
- [Instructor] Come one guys.
- We're all done.
Okay, so we've made it to the top, Big Buddha.
Amazing little run, I think this particular one
was was like, three point something kilometres.
I get my phone out I'll show you,
but the views are just absolutely remarkable.
The finish line for the Big Buddha run
with Titan fitness, is right there, actually.
Do you see it, where that boom gate is?
And the trainer's just there, but you can, actually,
apparently, buy coconuts from in here.
So maybe take 50 or 100 baht with you,
so you can buy a coconut when you finish the run
as a little bit of a reward.
And then this is it, this is the sign here,
"Welcome to the Big Buddha."
There is is up there.
And of course, they've got dress standards so,
you make sure you just don't wear, don't dress like that,
otherwise, they won't let you in.
But apparently in the morning, early in the morning,
like, 7:30, apparently according to the trainer,
they're usually pretty okay with it, if you wear this
in there, but like later on in the day
they get really strict, apparently with the dress standards.
So, if you're gonna do the Big Buddha run
and you wanna, actually, go up to the Big Buddha,
make sure you come early and you improve your chance,
you'll get in wearing a tank top.
3.26 kilometres, we did start a little high up,
higher up in the mountain,
and 26.58,
so, you know I'm happy, I'm happy I finished it with my calf
that I tore a couple weeks ago.
$2.50.
(cheering) (clapping)
- [Brad] Thank you.
(speaking in foreign language)
- So we're almost at the top of the Big Buddha.
This is the viewpoint, one of the viewpoints.
Check that out, quite amazing, Chalong Bay,
One of the nice little rewards of climbing
the Big Buddha, is this remarkable little view
at 7:40 in the morning,
on Halloween, so there you go!
Big Buddha's up there, obviously.
(upbeat music)
- [Robyn] My little cereal bowl.
- [Brad] Oh man, look at this protein, the chicken!
- [Man] Yeah, (laughs).
- Breakfast of Titans, look at this.
It's pancakes.
What's that, pumpkin balls?
Oh, look at that Robs, look!
- I know, right!
- Looks so good. - Pumpkin balls.
Oh, man that looks amazing, mushroom teriyaki.
(lid bangs)
Thank you.
Grilled chicken.
Look at that protein.
Man, look at this healthy food.
Look at it!
Hi, guys, it's almost 10 o'clock in the morning, 31st,
happy Halloween, and just booked a
one-on-one private Muay Thai session with T&Y Muay Thai
which is just there, that building there.
This is Titan Fitness over here, that's T&Y right there,
just across the road, 700 baht for the private session.
We'll make a separate video on that.
If you wanna see
what the private training is like at T&Y.
I shot a video there last year,
and doing another one this year.
So, if you're training with Titan Fitness,
it's very easy just to walk across the road
and book a private or a group class with T&Y or with CMT,
Muay Thai was formerly known as,
hi, guys, formally known as, Chokchai, now it's' CMT
If you're an absolute beginner and you've never
done Muay Thai before, don't be intimidated,
it is for everyone, it is fantastic.
It's great for fitness,
it's great for many different things,
and it's really great and it's 300 or 400 baht,
per group session, so it's about 20 Australian dollars,
private sessions are about 700 baht,
which is about 35 Australian dollars.
Convert that to euros and pounds and whatnot,
wherever you're watching this video from.
It's fantastic, I highly recommend it.
It's great even though it does sound like
they're, you know, sometimes training animals,
at some of these camps (chuckles)
'cause all you hear is grunting and screaming
and whatever, but, you know, it's great.
If you're just starting a journey
and you've never done it before,
I highly recommend you try it and let me know.
As I've said in other videos, I do this for fun,
the Muay Thai, for fun and if you come to Fitness Street,
you definitely have to try a Muay Thai class.
So, time to get the motorbike and get the gloves,
get the other camera, we're gonna film this
as a separate video.
Stick around for that.
And where's my motorbike?
Just around the corner here, just here.
Hey, how are you?
(speaking foreign language)
- Hey, say good morning!
- Good morning!
- Very friendly people here.
- (laughs) Welcome to Phuket, come (laughs).
Yes, you have to,
I know, I tell them every time, I say come!
(laughs) All right guys, see you soon.
All right, quarter past 10,
we're back in our room here at Cocoville,
where we're staying here on Fitness Street for a week,
and an amazing little place.
We're actually getting ready,
I have a private lesson, Muay Thai, 700 baht,
at T&Y Muay Thai,
and, now, we're just getting ready for the class
by having a protein shake and a rehydrate,
stuff that I've been talking about
almost every day in every video.
I'm not gonna bore you with it, you know,
it's a little bit monotonous,
but, essentially, yeah, it's not a bad idea
just to have a bit of protein,
that's what I'm taking right now.
Just one-and-a-half scoops of that, it's about 30 grammes
of protein with a little bit of creatine,
one teaspoon of that,
and also, I've had one of these D-lytes as well,
which is really important for all of your, potassium,
like your minerals, magnesium, and all that.
Yeah, you sweat so much, you know,
so before class have a D-lyte and a protein shake.
And hopefully I can survive my one hour private session.
Robyn has a private session, we've just booked it
at Evolve Health Club, also on Fitness Street,
and 700 baht with the amazing trainers there.
We'll give you the highlights of my lesson
and her lesson at two different gyms today.
We'll give you location details, in case you've
missed all of the previous videos
where we've trained around Evolve Health Club.
Here we are, T&Y Muay Thai, Fitness Street,
Soi Taied, Phuket, Thailand.
We're at the front, I'll throw the map up on the screen.
I'll give you the pricing details.
All that, on your screen, right now
or linked below, somewhere on your screen.
Miss Robyn Whale, is not participating
but she will be filming, the highlights of this class.
Anyway, just a real quick one guys,
we're training with Titan Fitness for the week.
Titan Fitness is just there, Health's Kitchen
is just there, the accommodations for Titan Fitness
is just there, if you can see that on your screen.
So if you decide to do the full Titan Fitness package
with the accommodation option,
then you will be staying there,
and then you'll be eating there,
and you'll be training there, so not a bad little package.
Train, eat, sleep, repeat (laughs).
Train, eat, sleep, you get the idea.
So if you are training with Titan Fitness,
for a week, a month, or two months,
then you could definitely come across the road here
and try Muay Thai
if it's not already part of your package there.
You could do one off group classes here,
either at this gym here, T&Y or you can walk across the road
to CMT, just over there, as you can see
it's right across the road from Titan Fitness.
So, don't be intimidated guys just come in here,
it's great fitness, it's great fun, just have fun,
that's all that matters, you know,
no one judges anyone out here.
People are just, you know, on their own journey,
their own fitness journey so, just come here,
meet people, pay 700 baht for the private session
which is, whatever that is in your local currency
It's like, 35 Australian dollars.

- Hi, guys.
How're you doing today.
It's Robs here, from Rewby Pilates.
So guys, I'm at Evolve, which is a training camp
in Phuket, Thailand.
There's a place called Fitness Street
and they have all these amazing training camps on this,
Oh, this little cat, by the way, look at it,
look at it, look at it,
just strolling past me there.
Anyway, yeah, so I'm at this, on this amazing street
where they offer all this training from CrossFit
to Muay Thai to BJJ.
And today I'm gonna take you guys through,
I thought to show you a little session at Evolve.
I'm taking a little private here,
and I wanted to bring you into the whole session
to show you what it's all about.
It can probably seem a little intimidating,
but these guys are great at just making you feel welcome,
just to help build a little bit of confidence
'cause it can feel a little overwhelming.
I just wanna say, I am not a fighter.
I am not a fighter, but I love fitness,
and, yeah, as a Pilates instructor,
I always enjoy a little bit of a challenge.
Sorry about this surround sound noise,
it literally is pouring with rain here, which is great.
So come along and I'll show you guys what it's all about.
(light mellow music)
- Protect.
Yeah.
Protect.
Yeah.
Protect.
Yeah.
(mellow music)
Protect.
(mellow music)
Whoa.
Whoa!
Here.
Whoa!
Here.
Whoa!
Ah! Nice.
Kick here.
Hey guys, so that's the end of my little
hour of private session here at Evolve.
I think, as you can see, it was the most awesome
session, got great cardio out of it,
it's really good for fitness.
If you guys wanna
come here, it's on Fitness Street in Phuket, Thailand.
Thanks for joining me
and I hope to show you some more sessions.
If you have any questions or would like to know more,
or are interested in coming to this street,
just send me an e-mail or connect with me on Instagram
and I'll be happy to answer any questions that you have.
But guys it's so worth it.
It might seem a little intimidating because it's,
you know, it's fighting.
But actually it feels pretty empowering to smash a bag
with some gloves on.
You feel absolutely brilliant after the session,
and you'll get a really, really good workout.
So you don't have to be a fighter to do this, I'm not.
Okay guys, I hope you have a great day
and I look forward to hearing from you.
Bye!
(upbeat inspiring music)
