Wellness is a term thrown around a lot these days, but for good reason. Much of the developed world is so focused on being productive and competitive that we lose sight of what should be a top priority – our health. Why the term wellness is so useful that it’s not just referring to just physical health or diet, but one’s overall health as a whole. Phuket has become a hotspot in Thailand for health, wellness, and fitness with Thais, expats, and tourists from around the world coming here to better themselves. Let’s take a look at a few of the island’s top wellness retreats.
Action Point
Located in Rawai in the south of Phuket, Action Point is a long-established, all-inclusive wellness retreat and community gym. The attentive staff foster an unpretentious and welcoming vibe and, most importantly, tangible results. The highly experienced certified trainers and educators start off with a one-on-one consultation to determine your goals. They use comprehensive fitness, endurance, strength, and aerobic capacity tests, evaluating the results to develop a personalized program. This isn’t push-ups until you pass out and protein shakes for every meal putting you at risk of injury and malnutrition. It’s using your individual physiology set within a clinical framework to create an approach to diet, physical activity, mental health, and lifestyle to create a healthier version of yourself.
Action Point’s facilities include a 12-room hotel, a 5-bedroom luxury villa, open-air crossfit and class area, air conditioned weight room, cardio area, yoga studio, rooftop cafe with pool, cold plunge, ice bath, dry sauna, steam room, and more. A variety of scheduled group classes are held daily including several types of yoga and meditation, strength, mobility, flexibility, toning and conditioning, zumba, and more.
