Koh Phangan is small, and its gyms are too: a beach fitness club, a few Muay Thai camps around Thong Sala, and the yoga centres of Srithanu and Hin Kong. There is no 24-hour chain and no big health club, which is part of the island's charm. Here are the places worth your time, with the prices and hours we have on file.

How we picked
We chose the places with the most complete and verified information in our directory. No gym paid to appear, and we don't use review scores. Koh Phangan has fewer well-documented gyms than the bigger islands, so this list is eight, not ten.
1. Wild Wood Beach Fitness, Ban Tai: the island's gym
Pool, sauna, ice bath and classes by the beach, open 8 am to 8 pm every day. ฿350 for a day pass and ฿1,800 a month. If you want one gym for a month on Phangan, this is it.
2. Diamond Muay Thai, Thong Sala: the Muay Thai camp
Two sessions a day, Monday to Saturday, with an ice bath and private training. ฿300 per session and ฿7,000 a month, among the lowest camp prices in Thailand.
3. Venom Muay Thai, Thong Sala: the second camp
The same format a short ride away: morning and evening sessions, ice bath, private lessons. ฿400 per session and ฿7,000 a month. Visit both and pick the trainers you click with.
4. MAA Martial Arts Academy, Hin Kong: MMA and grappling
The island's mixed martial arts academy, with classes on weekdays and Saturday mornings and an ice bath. ฿1,250 for a day and ฿12,500 a month, priced for people who come for the coaching.

7. The Yoga Retreat, Chaloklum: the quiet north
A small retreat with a pool and afternoon classes on most days. ฿400 per class and ฿3,000 a month, in the calmest corner of the island.
