Kamala Nava Muaythai Gym — local verdict from 77 guest reviews (4.8/5)
Quick reading: reviewers consistently praise the coaching staff, report both one-to-one and small group formats, and note the gym has a noticeably smaller footprint than larger Phuket gyms. Use this review to decide whether you want intensive pad work, a beginner-friendly first session, or a private lesson on short notice.
What reviewers actually say about the coaches
- Ruslan is mentioned by multiple visitors for clear instructions, effective pad work, and adaptable one-to-one coaching.
- A second named coach, Sam, is described as experienced and a worthwhile trainer.
- Other trainers at the gym are described as nice and helpful by visitors who trained for multiple weeks.
- First-time trainees report a friendly, supportive approach that made their first Muay Thai class enjoyable.
What a typical class looks like (evidence from guest reports)
One-hour group training example: jump-rope warm-up, fundamental coordination drills, then turn-based pad drills with the coach; the session was intense and well-instructed.
That exact sequence was logged for a Saturday class, so expect technical drills followed by focused pad work in group sessions. Guests also describe one-to-one sessions that adapt to the student level and can be arranged on weekends.
How the gym feels and why size matters here
A visiting reviewer called the facility much smaller than nearby Bangtao options. That smaller footprint appears to coincide with hands-on coaching: multiple reviewers highlight individualized attention including private sessions and coaches coming over to work one-on-one. If you value direct coaching over a large commercial space, that trade-off shows up in the guest feedback.
Contradictions worth noting
- One guest preferred the larger Bangtao setup but still completed three weeks here, learned a lot, and recommended the gym for Muay Thai learners.
- Group classes are described as intense by at least one reviewer, while private sessions are cited as adaptable and student-focused by another.
That split suggests the gym runs both demanding group trainings and flexible private lessons—pick the format that matches your tolerance for intensity.
Who should book a session here?
- Beginners wanting a friendly first experience — a reviewer who trained for the first time rated their experience top marks.
- People seeking clear pad-work instruction and technical drills — several visitors highlighted pad work and instructional clarity.
- Travelers wanting short-term intensive practice — one guest completed three weeks and reported measurable improvement.
Practical planning tips based on operating hours and reviewer events
- Opening hours run 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday, and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sunday, so most afternoon and early-evening slots are available for working visitors.
- A recorded group class occurred on a Saturday; a one-to-one session was arranged on a Sunday, indicating weekend availability for both formats.
- Several reviewers recommend booking ahead for private sessions if you want a guaranteed one-on-one slot during peak times.
- Nearby places to stay or grab food include Mams restaurant, Yenna Apartment, and Kamala Cakes, which can help with logistics when planning a training day.
Bottom line — who will get the most from Kamala Nava Muaythai Gym?
Pick this gym if you want attentive coaching from named instructors, prefer a compact training space with hands-on pad work, and value the option of both intense group sessions and adaptive private lessons. If you need a large commercial facility as part of your experience, a reviewer explicitly preferred Bangtao for that reason, but still found meaningful progress here.
Actionable next steps: request Ruslan if you want clear pad instruction, ask about private availability on Sundays, and reserve a Saturday group slot if you’re after an intense, structured session. The guest feedback suggests that approach will match the experiences most reviewers described.
