- Good afternoon guys.
5th of November, 2019, Muay Thai in Phuket.
Gonna give you a bit of a walking tour of one of the
Muay Thai camps here in Chiang Phuket Thailand,
just off Fitness Street,
here at Phuket Soi Taied or Fitness Street,
I like to call it Fitness Street.
And the one I'm looking at to give you a tour of is CMT.
This place right here,
CMT Muay Thai.
That's the building facility there
where they do their training.
Give you a little walking tour.
I'll show you their accomodation facility here.
I'll even take you inside if I can
and I'll show you the equipment, we'll talk about prices.
We've also done some private classes here
last year and this year, group classes as well.
So if you're looking at a place
to do Muay Thai training just off Fitness Street,
this might be an option for you as well.
Of course, before I go any further I want to mention
that in this particular environment,
we have Titan Fitness, just there.
It is a fitness bootcamp here off Fitness Street.
We shot videos there last week.
If you're interested in just pure fitness
bootcamp experiences, that's a place to check out.
And I'll link up some videos so you can check that out
if you're interested in that.
They have an outdoor obstacle course
and things of that nature.
Right there they've got T&Y Muay Thai.
Another camp just across the road from CMT,
really really hot training in there.
I've had great experiences doing
private lessons in there as well.
That's another one to check out.
I'll link some videos up to T&Y.
But this video is about CMT.
Right, was formerly known as Chokchai.
But now it's called CMT Muay Thai.
When you come here this is what you'll expect to see.
The accommodation for CMT is just there.
If you choose you can spend up to a month
in one of their rooms there.
And I think it's like 15,000 baht on their website
which is as of November 2019
is around 720 Australian Dollars.
I'll let you convert that you your local currency.
But the rooms are very nice.
Stick around I'll take you inside there in a second.
But this is what you'll expect
when you show up to this place.
They've got like a little shack here,
you can get protein shakes here
and they have wraps that they supply
but I suggest you buy your own wraps.
They have gloves that they supply
but I again suggest that you buy your own gloves and wraps.
But if you're doing one-off training session
then you know, rent them.
But I've got my own gloves and my own equipment.
So they have supplied wraps right here.
And of course, you'll notice that this is just all green.
All the mats are green.
And they've got floor to ceiling kind
of mirrors all the way along.
And there's Robyn over there, that's my girlfriend.
She's doing some practise,
some Pilates practise for the online Pilates course.
I'll take you through there in just a second
but stick with me,
I'll take you into the accommodation first.
And I'll show you exactly what it looks like.
This is the front reception here.
That's where you'll go to sign up.
And I'll talk about prices in just a second.
But this is the walkway
to the accommodations that CMT supply.
They have an area where you can have your meals.
Right so like a canteen style here.
And right now it's super hot.
We're shooting this video at mid-day and it's extremely hot.
So expect super hot days when you come to Thailand
if you've never been here before.
I always talk about hydration but we'll take you
to the accommodation and we'll give you an example
of what it looks like.
So here are the rooms.
We've got that green theme thing going on here.
And this is the cascade of rooms side by side.
And they're quite sizeable rooms,
15,000 baht.
Hello. (muffled speaking)
I make a video - Yes.
- for my friends.
One, very quickly. - Okay.
- Yeah.
I'll take you inside here, this is one of the rooms.
And you know, I wanted to show you exactly what
the room looks like so there's no surprises if you decide
to book accommodation for a month here
and you're coming all the way from you know,
Florence or from Virginia.
And I don't want you to be disappointed.
So anyway, air conditioning.
That's super important you know.
No matter where you stay in Thailand, it's super hot here,
make sure you find a place that has air conditioning.
This place has it.
T.V. you're probably not going to watch it,
you're gonna be training.
A fridge is important, so they obviously have a fridge here.
They supply bottled water.
And so funny, boys get two rolls of toilet paper.
No matter where I stay they supply toilet paper,
like as two rolls, near the fridge or on the bed.
Anyway, that's a huge bed I think that's a king.
Or it is quite nice.
By the way, I've never stayed here in these rooms so I don't
know how good the mattresses are.
You know they, they feel pretty good.
Anyway, so you've got like a little thing here,
you have Wi-Fi.
I noticed some of you guys asked me about the bathrooms
and things of that nature.
So I mean, you can see the toilet, it's quite small.
The toilet shower like it's almost like you sit
on the toilet and have a shower.
Like it's tiny, you know.
But they've got hot water from what I can see.
There's a hot water unit on the wall
so that's all that matters.
You got a shower, a toilet, I know some of you guys are
on a budget and that's all you really need.
And then you got like a little balcony
like a little patio thing just through there
on the other side there.
But this is quite big actually.
This is very nice for a room where you'll stay just
to do your Muay Thai or your BJJ MMA training with CMT.
This is what it looks like.
Thank you!
So the cleaners were gracious enough
to let me take you through.
Those blinds are complete black black-out blinds.
So that's great if you're doing
your training session in the morning, come back and sleep.
It'll cut out all the light in the room
and then you can do your afternoon session.
So it's amazing that the blinds are quite solid
by the looks of it, so you'll have a decent nights sleep
or a decent mid-day sleep between your training sessions.
Anyway, I'll walk you back over to the main floor.
And I'll show you what the facilities look like
and while I take you over I'll get out my prices.
And obviously just go to their website
if you want the latest details, but real quick.
So they do group classes here so if you've never done
Muay Thai before and you're interested in just doing it
for like weight-loss or just to get fitter and stronger
that's usually, that's the reason why I do it.
I love the fitness out of Muay Thai.
I love challenging myslef.
I'm not a fighter, I'm not a martial artist,
I'm not trying to be a fighter.
I just do this for fun, for fitness
and to make these videos to share this with the world.
And to make you feel like it's for you and for everyone.
You don't have to be,
you know you just come here and have fun.
There's nothing to be scared of,
there's nothing to be intimidated by.
Just a really beautiful gym.
I love this gym.
As I've said, I've been here a few times training,
done some group classes here, done some privates here.
They usually do two classes a day.
So two group classes a day.
No matter where you're starting your fitness journey
if you've never been in the gym before
and you'll lose some weight.
Perfect (mumbled speaking) group class.
It costs you around 400 baht,
do the conversions into your local currency.
And they do morning and afternoon sessions
from 8:00 till 10:00 in the morning.
And 4:00 till 6:00 in the afternoon.
So they're usually two hour sessions.
Morning and afternoon.
And everyday is different you might do boxing,
you might do sparring the next day,
you might do Muay Thai clinching,
you might learn the way Crewe.
And I'll take you through here
and I'll show you what it looks like.
They have a little area where you can buy merchandise here.
So if you wanna buy Muay Thai shorts, gloves, wraps
and things of that nature you can buy all that
from here as well.
Singlet tops, right I don't know how much it costs
to be honest with you.
But it's here if you want to check it out for yourself.
Amazing guys, you should definitely do it if you come
to Phuket and you're on a vacation
and you want to try it for the first time,
you don't know where to go,
you're not interested in doing Muay Thai
for anything more than just fitness,
come check out this place it's really really amazing.
And if you're coming here to stay for a month or so,
then just realise that there are other gyms in the area
too within walking distance that can also provide you
with great service, great training and all those kinds
of things like we talked about.
T&Y Muay Thai just across the road.
And of course, Titan Fitness as well,
which is not martial arts related.
If you're just interested in bootcamp style training here
in Phuket Thailand and you want to completely reset your
life and you know, contribute to your fitness goals.
Anyway, I mentioned that this video is part of
"The Fitness Street Series" so I made a lot of videos
on Fitness Street or Soi Taied.
That street is literally, this is a side street here
it connects up to the main road,
it's literally like a five minute walk from this position
and you'll get access to all of the other things
other videos I mean other restaurants and cafes,
healthy eating restaurants, and cafes, gyms.
All that other stuff I talk about in lots of other videos.
Anyway, so I'll show you this facility real quick.
Of course I'm looking at, I mean this is getting to be
a long video hopefully, we're at 11 minutes so far.
But we're gonna finish up in a couple of minutes
so I don't waste your time.
So of course green mats as mentioned before,
you have giant mirrors, we have a big ring here,
and it's open air as well so when there's a nice breeze
coming through you don't melt to death. (laughs)
Does get very hot training up in the rings there.
But look at all the equipment that you ever need.
You've got bags surrounding this gym,
they've got ropes hanging from the ceiling.
They've got Robynwhale.com doing her Pilates practise.
Hi Robs.
She's in a zen mode.
Alright, if you're interested in doing Pilates online,
I'll link her up as well.
She's practising and getting ready for some more videos
that we're shooting tomorrow and the next day.
And you've got absolute beauty just out here.
(wind blowing)
Nice breeze.
Sorry about the wind.
And you've got the Big Buddha just there.
Which of course is one of the activities you can do here.
You can run up the Big Buddha,
I'll link a separate video to that.
It's great for training, great for fitness
and it mixes up your training a little bit
so you're not just going to a gym
and training here everyday.
You can do some outdoor training
or training you know running up the Big Buddha
or doing beach training.
Anyway, this is what it looks like.
I hope this was informative for you.
If you have any questions definitely let me know.
But this is a great little facility
and I highly recommend you come check it out.
Let me know what you think.
If you decide to stay here, let me know.
It's about 15,000 baht per month
in one of those rooms that I showed you.
Nice spacious rooms, air conditioned, toilet paper
(laughing)
and hot showers.
And yeah, amazing little gym.
So I'll link up some more videos to help you make decisions
about Muay Thai fitness training camps here
in Phuket Thailand and my Instagram DM me
with any questions you might have.
I do receive a lot of DM's these days,
but I do my best to get through all of them.
Hope you enjoy your training and vacation
and I'll see you guys in another video.
Goodbye.
