- Okay guys, so far so good.
It's about 2:15, 2:30 in the afternoon,
I've got really bad stomach issues.
I'm happy if I just get through this private session.
(exciting rock music)
Good morning, my friends.
It is the fifth of November 2019,
Tuesday, 10:30 in the morning.
We're both very, very tired,
we're about to start our day.
Good morning, Robs.
- Hi guys.
- Very exhausted.
Wasn't feeling very well last night, or this morning,
had toilet issues, if you know what I mean.
Don't wanna go any further than that,
you get the idea.
So just been very feverish, sweats,
and headaches, and things like that.
You get the idea.
So, had a very steady morning.
Just had some toast this morning, see you know,
when I'm not feeling very well, I usually have toast,
makes me feel better.
But I skipped a class this morning,
didn't do it, didn't feel good enough to do it.
But this afternoon we have private sessions at AKA Thailand,
I'm really excited to do that,
but I'll give you some highlights there.
Right now we're going to Chock Chai,
or CMT Muay Thai,
This one's got some pilates practise there.
That's it guys, gonna do a passport photo
for my visa for Cambodia, we're off to Cambodia next week,
this Sunday actually.
This is our final week here in Thailand,
training on Fitness Street.
- Where's the lesson?
The moral of the story is,
if you're coming here for long periods of time,
you've gotta pace your training.
- Yeah.
- Because what we're finding is,
we're trying to push up so many classes,
at least two classes a day, every day,
for the last three weeks,
and what's happened is it's hit us hard in the fourth week.
We're both...
- Pretty wrecked. - Like I'm just managing,
like, just managing to do one class a day,
I did a unit yesterday, now I'm,
I don't know how this afternoon's gonna go,
but it's just so interesting
to show how much your body will tolerate
before it will say like,
"Sorry dude, you gotta slow down."
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Yeah, you feel good at the time when you do the classes.
- Yeah, they're amazing, but--
- They're amazing but it's the day after or the week later,
like it just catches up with you.
- Three weeks later. - Three weeks later.
- Of constant training.
- Constant, yeah, constantly.
- Yeah, and now he is, now you have fever.
- Now I've got a fever and-- - You're not well,
and I'm very exhausted in my body and lower back.
So it's really gotta look after yourself, yeah, man.
Also, we've walked outside here,
it feels like it's a wall of heat,
that we've just like walked in to.
- Oh yeah, we just-- - It's so hot.
- We've come out of some amazing air conditioning,
and walked out of some amazing air conditioning.
We're staying at Coco Retreat here for a week.
We'll do a separate tour video of this amazing resort,
second street from Fitness Street actually,
just the next street across.
Let's go. (playful electronic music)
All right, my friends, so after 10, 15 minute scooter ride,
we got to CMT Muay Thai from Coco Retreat,
nice little resort that we were staying at for a week,
and Robyn was here just to practise some pilates stuff,
so we didn't actually do any classes in the morning,
but we have trained here in the past,
so if you're staying on Fitness Street,
and you're looking for a place
to do some Muay Thai training,
or you wanna give it a try
'cause you've never done it before,
this is a nice, little gym to try out.
As I said, if you're on Fitness Street,
you can just walk down to this gym.
I'll throw the map up so you can check it out for yourself.
A very distinct gym, the floor is all green.
Green mats with floor-to-ceiling mirrors,
and they've also got a BJJ MMA room as well,
set up in the corner,
but the group classes are really awesome,
I've done them before.
They have a morning class,
which is from 8 til 10 in the morning, I believe,
and then 4 til 6 in the afternoon.
And I think you pay 350 baht or 400 baht per group class.
And you'll find all sorts of people in there.
People that have never done Muay Thai before,
it's their first time,
they've usually come over from Titan Fitness,
and they're just trying it for the first time.
And then you've got some people which are quite experienced,
so you should never feel intimidated.
Just go in there, put your name down,
pay 350 baht and then have 2 hours
of the best time of your life.
And trust me it's very, very addictive.
If you don't have any gear, that's fine.
CMT supply all of that.
They have wraps, they have gloves,
they have all of the gear there,
skipping ropes, and all sorts of stuff.
If you're doing a one-off class,
you can probably use all that gear,
rather than just going out and buying everything
just to do one session,
but if you're doing Muay Thai on a more regular basis,
I definitely recommend buying your own gear,
buying your own wraps and gloves,
which I do talk about in other videos.
So, they also have accommodation options
for anyone watching that is looking at training at CMT
for a month or more.
I believe, last time I checked,
their rooms for one month cost 15,000 Thai baht.
I've done a separate walking tour video which I'll link up.
Definitely go and check that video out.
As I've said, as usual, not paid or sponsored,
but I'll give you a raw experience
of what the rooms look like,
and what to expect before you book and pay.
As I said, I'm not affiliated with the gyms,
I just make the videos for fun.
Anyway, I hope this was helpful.
This was it for us, and then yeah,
we're off to AKA Muay Thai,
which is just down the road.
It's about a 15, 20-minute scooter ride.
(upbeat alternative music)
Hi guys, we've just arrived at AKA Thailand.
Beautiful place, I love this place.
How do you feel, Robs?
- It's so interesting.
It's like Muay Thai,
but you come here and you feel super relaxed.
- Yeah, it's like a jungle feeling.
- It feels very, very chilled.
- Surrounded by trees.
- A lovely breeze.
It's so hot, so the breeze is really nice,
and it has a very, very calming feeling about it.
(upbeat electronic music)
- Ah, it's really hot today,
and Robyn and myself are not feeling very well.
Dunno how I'm gonna go with this,
but fond memories of this place training last year.
I'll link up the video,
go and check it out, did a group class here.
This time I'm doing a private.
Rob's gonna give you the highlights.
(upbeat electronic piano music)
- Everybody's doing their private sessions now at AKA.
If you wanna do your privates at AKA or anywhere,
you should do it between the group classes.
The group classes here are between,
I think, 7 or 7:30 in the morning for two hours.
In the afternoon, about 4 pm for two hours,
so get your privates in between the group sessions.
(upbeat electronic piano music)
My stomach is feeling like shit.
I'll try to do one more and that's it.
Don't train on a sick stomach.
All right, guys, that is the end for me.
That's my private session,
I cut it short by 15 minutes,
I just feel, my stomach is turning so much,
and I just don't feel good,
so I told them that I just wanna finish.
Really unfortunate, I love this gym,
and I'll definitely be coming back here.
I'll get that trainers name, but the other guy is Kru Pet,
I trained with him last year.
He's an amazing dude, really funny.
They got other privates here,
little boy's training, he's really cool to watch.
It's a really nice place, breezy.
It's not Fitness Street, I just wanna put that out there.
This is not Fitness Street.
It's part of the fitness Street series.
Ah, this place is a little bit closer to Rawai,
I'll throw it up on the screen as a map.
But it's worth while coming to.
I'm gonna do a separate walking tour of this place,
separate video.
Stick around for that, I'll link it up below.
Thanks so much, Robs, my online pilates instructor,
if you have interest in pilates online,
check her out.
Thank you Robs for filming, I appreciate it.
She's really tired as well.
It's just been, we're both exhausted,
and yeah, gotta rest guys,
fourth week of training, we're just tired, so.
If you've got any questions, let me know.
If you come to Thailand to train, send me a message,
and I'll be able to help you out the best way I can.
Thanks, thanks for watching.
