A twenty-five-year old systems administrator from Switzerland, Kevin Wyss is spending a total of six months at Phuket Fit. Working in an office, he realized that his weight had slowly started to rise and he has come to Phuket Fit to take care of business. He’s been at Phuket Fit one month so far and he can be found every afternoon in the Beginner’s Muay Thai area working up a sweat. He says that he hasn’t encountered an exercise at Phuket Fit that he didn’t enjoy and that his favorite workout is Muay Thai.
How did you first hear about Phuket Fit?
I read in the newspaper about someone who had been at Phuket Fit and had lost 100KGs in one and a half years. I wanted to try it too. Not to lose 100 KG, but lose some weight.

Had you done much exercise before coming to Phuket Fit?
Twice a week I would play some squash with a friend, but nothing else. No other exercise of sports.
Have you ever done martial arts or fighting sports before Phuket Fit?
I did karate a long time ago. I did it for one year, but nothing since I was younger.
Have you set any goals for yourself to work toward while you’re training?
I want to lose 30KGs in the six months that I’m here. I’ve been here one month so far.
How do you feel about that goal now that you’ve started training?
I feel good. I think I can reach it.
What classes have you been taking?
Right now, I’m doing just the afternoon Muay Thai class. I want to start the body fit in the morning soon.
Are you following any specific diet or food plan?
Yes. I’ve been avoiding carbohydrates and focusing on protein. Things like meat and omelets.
Has anything surprised you about Phuket Fit?
You meet good people from all over the world. They are very friendly.
Do you have any advice for prospective guests?
In the beginning, it’s very hard. After only five minutes of exercise and you are exhausted. But once you reach week two or three, you feel much better. Like you have more power.
Have any parting thoughts?
I think Muay Thai is the best balance between endurance and power, that’s why I do the Muay Thai classes.
