KYN Phoenix Muay Thai Gym

An incredible experience to be able to stay and train at KYN. Experienced trainers and an amazing place learn Muay Thai. The coaches all have a lot of experience and it shows with their instruction when teaching various techniques. They're also great at coaching different levels of experience and making the train fun and enjoyable.

The location is also a massive highlight, nothing quite like finishing a hard training session and then cooling off in the pool as the sun sets in the background.

Awesome place to meet other travellers who have similar interests in martial arts. Having meals and conversation with everyone you just trained with is something you don't get at many other gyms and really adds to the experience.

Can't wait to go back!

I was a complete beginner when arriving into camp and didn’t really know what to expect. Safe to say I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The trainers are absolutely brilliant and ensure everyone gets focus and development- which was helpful as a new starter. The sessions are varied and always a good laugh which means they go really quickly. There are two sessions a day and I really liked there is no pressure on how many you do - one or two - or even none if you wanted a rest day. When not training the pool is lovely and relaxing. There’s a community feel at the gym and we regularly went to lunch at the local restaurants on the island. The breakfast and dinner at the gym are also good quality. I stayed for 4 weeks and noticed a big difference in my fitness - I’ll be back for longer next time!

This place is absolutely awesome. Spent over a week there in early Feb 2024. Stayed in the AC rooms and trained everyday. The rooms are great, the included menu is extensive and the food tastes amazing. The trainers are all super knowledgeable and run well structured and challenging classes, adjusting well for beginners through to advanced. The views are amazing and the island itself is beautiful. Great location, close to supermarkets, massage parlours and just a short scooter ride to the main places to see on KYN. Overall we had an unforgettable stay and will definitely be back.

I had the lucky honor to train at KYN for two weeks and time just flew by. I really wish I could have stayed longer. Training twice a day with people across the globe and trainers dedicated to each student was like no other experience I ever had at a gym. I have learned so much and made incredible bonds while training. And after good morning training session the pool was always welcoming and after the evening session the sunset always left me speechless by its beauty. Out of all the muy thai gyms I am glad I chose one that really focuses on technique and discipline. I feel a’lot stronger, confident and filled with clarity. Thank you KYN out of all the muy thai gyms out there in Thailand I am happy I found you. Till next time 🥊

My favourite place in the world! So happy to come back for a second visit to KYN Phoenix Gym. Not only is the level of training top class but the food, facilities and the general friendly island atmosphere make this the perfect place to get in great shape, learn Muay Thai and have a fantastic holiday experience all in one!
Thank you again to all the trainers and the team for making me feel so welcome as always. Hope to see you again next year to punch out those January blues! 🥊

Amazing place I dont think I could of picked a more perfect location. Staff are so welcoming you have a family feel from the get go, such a warming atmosphere by everyone. The training instructors have a vast knowledge for all aspects of Muai thai and levels of training, I was a beginner myself with no knowledge whatsoever, they took the time out to help me build technique and the basics nothing was too much to ask for them, can't thank enough for the patience throughout my stay. Will be sad to go, I will definitely be returning in the near future. KYN until next time, it's been a pleasure 🙏🏽

My favorite hangout spot in all of Yao Noi!
Don't let the name fool you, one part is a gym (weights, training, bags and a boxing ring), the other part is a bar, another a restaurant, a pool, and they even have rooms for rent.

They have live music nights, and anyone who wants to join is welcome, even if you only want to grab a shaker. Otherwise, it's also nice to just sit and hear real music and instruments. 🎶 It's truly heaps of fun (I wish I could upload a video of their music infused with humor). If you aren't careful, you'll end up befriending their bar manager and laugh yourself into a full set of abs 😂

Their gym is accessible to everyone, and they offer both group, and personal muay thai classes. It also has a separate section for weights and a few machines. The boxing ring is on the opposite side of the gym, and there are boxing bags for those who prefer to train alone.

There is so much to say about this place, (including a perfect view of the sunset), but all in all the entire vibe of the place and the people is what makes it so amazing!

PS- check out their game nights, quiz nights, BBQ Sundays, live music Saturdays, pool/billiard nights, and all the other fun things they come up with!

I love the entire island, but for the past 2 months, this place has been my go-to ❤

I have spent four weeks at KYN with great pleasure. The trainers are skilled and serious. At the same time that they have fun with us and with each other. The coaches were really good at welcoming everyone, regardless of level. I felt well received as a beginner, and they quickly intensified my training. The trainers also take great care of the participants, and I have been asked countless times "are you okay?". I got a lot out of the training, just as I got a lot out of the stay in general.

I was very excited about the entirety of the camp, which contained both two daily training sessions, something social around the two included meals and an okay room. I loved sitting on my balcony looking out over the water and the camp.
People are friendly. Both Harry, Lisa and Matt were good at welcoming me. And especially Tik, our matron, was good at including us. At the same time, they cook really good food in the kitchen. Tasty and with a large selection.

On day two I rented a scooter which broadened my horizons on the island. I loved taking a trip into "town" or out to one of the small, local restaurants.

For me, the trip was a life project, and before I left, I had no plans to repeat a similar trip. However, KYN has made me want to come back, just as my stay has made me want to continue Muay Thai here in Denmark.

Thank you for a good stay, which more than lived up to my high expectations

It’s such a great place to enjoy a drink, coffee, or some training! During our honeymoon on Koh Yao Noi, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner and the charming manager, Ryan. Ryan is exceedingly friendly and can provide you with all the tips you need about the island. His singing is incredible, and you’ll find it very pleasant. He’s also skilled at playing pool, so if you think you’re good at it, you should definitely challenge him. Moreover, he’s an animal lover, which shows he has a kind heart. Coming to this bar allows you to experience the human touch on the island and savor the beautiful view while enjoying a drink or your training. If you don’t visit, you’ll be missing out!

This has been the best experience of my life. I came to train Miay Thai and took my kids, and they trained Muay Thai and loved it. Everyone is so nice and caring. We have never felt so safe just letting the kids run around the entire complex. Everyone should visit here even if you don't train. I will be back on a regular basis.

If you’re looking for the experience of training Muay Thai then KYN should be at the top of your list. Location is off the charts and the trainer to student ratio is exceptional, all the trainers make it a point to offer individual attention as they’re truly invested in the growth of everyone who enters the gym. Private training available at more than reasonable cost. I’m close to wrapping up an amazing 30 day visit and looking forward to booking my next trip. See you there!

What an incredible experience!!! Since the very beggining they made me feel home! As soon as I got there they told me carefully all the things that I would do, the brought me to my room and the most wonderful two weeks started. Lukin is an awesome trainer and I specially love how he works the attitude in the fight (confidence and mind control). All trainers are awesome, helpful and caring and I can asure that everyone can feel the evolution in every single class. Plus, the food is amazing!!!! Yummy!!!! I loved the place, the training, the food, the staff and the people there, and all the environment in the island. If you go there you’ll never regret!!!!!

Absolutely loved my 3 week stay at KYN. Already planning the next trip, but must make it longer next time. The whole atmosphere, setting and training sessions were exceptionally fun. Thanks to everyone who makes it possible, see you next time!

KYN Phoenix Muay Thai Gym is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I was in for an exceptional experience.

The staff here are beyond incredible. They exude professionalism and a genuine passion for what they do. Every trainer takes the time to ensure you get the most out of your time at the gym. Their dedication is truly admirable.

The food at KYN is a winner too, especially the burgers! And it’s good to have a variety of protein shakes on offer for after a session😉

The swimming pool is a perfect oasis for cooling down after a workout. Clean and well-maintained, it’s just what you need to relax and rejuvenate.

Saturday Music Nights are a blast! The live music is great and a nice way to chill and connect with others staying here but also the locals.

The weight-training facilities are top-notch. You'll find everything you need for a decent workout.

And let's not forget the location… the gym offers stunning views of the sunset. They even have a designated area for sunset drinks, which is a fantastic way to wind down and socialise after a workout.

KYN Phoenix Muay Thai Gym is more than just a gym; it's a little sanctuary. The staff, the food, the facilities, and the location all come together to create a great experience. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic place, 100% recommend for all kinds of people from fight prep to weight loss & beginners!
Incredible location, crazy sunsets while Training right on the water and great trainers! The island is super calm and relaxed. No distractions from training but just enough places to have a beer so that it doesn’t get boring!

Amazing !!! one true Paradise ..
Highly recommended , their trainers are best in class and are really patient, helps in sharpening your techniques & style . Kitchen staff prepares amazing food both Thai & Western. Every one at the gym is really warm and welcoming , you will never feel left alone .
Had great time in KYN , met amazing people from around the world .
I truly miss the morning trainings , dip in the pool, breakfast , bike ride , beaches and charlie bar for the evening drinks and Saturday night outs .
It was nice meeting you all, thanks Nok , Geoff , Lisa and Hlukhin, see you all soon ..

Great place! Trainers are very experienced, hardworking and nice. The crowd is also great. I'd say it's one of the highlights of the island, don't miss your chance if you're in Koh Yao!

I keep returning to this incredible gym for so many reasons: first, the top flight instruction and training, catering to all skill levels from holiday fitness seekers to serious students of the art. Second, there's the unrivalled seaside location - you're literally basking in a breathtaking Andaman sunset every damn day! Oh, did I mention there's a great and lovely restaurant, pool, and bar for amenities?

None of this would matter if the vibe wasn't welcoming, but you'll be blessed with some the warmest and most helpful folks that go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and complete at home -- you essentially become part of their extended family. And, if you're anything like me, you'll be planning your next (much longer!) visit mere days into your first trip here.

HIGHLY Recommended.

Amazing gym, perfect location and tough training. Everything you could want from a Muay Thai training package.
From a team of trainers who become family after a hard days sessions. To a wide variety of delicious meals placed in front of you when you need them most. I cannot recommend this place enough!!
Learn a skill, relax by the pool and meet people from all walks of life. KYN will be a place I remember forever!!

Words cant describe how much this experience was incredible in every aspect. Feels like a second family. The management was amazing and always there to have fun and make your stay the best it could be. The trainers were all so invested in making you progress and always with a smile! Tik was amazing behind the bar and the accommodation was more that I dreamt of. On top of it being an amazing place to stay at KYN phoenix, the island is magical and the people too! Best experiences ever! Thanks again to all of you!
