“Heard great things about this gym but ultimately left it pretty disappointed. First off, I have been to many gyms in Asia whilst travelling/on holiday (I live in Bangkok) so have a lot to compare against. Firstly, this gym is very well equipped and covers most areas. There is a very large room with resistance machines and free weights etc. There is also a new small room at the back that has some select machines and more dumbbells etc. I think that space is a bit more open and also for mat work etc. There is another space which is a bit more Hyrox focused with sleds, wall balls etc. Finally there is the main cardio area. The gym covers most equipment you'd want but the layout is odd. There is a Hyrox style area, but as you can see people end up using the sled track as a mat/stretching area. Also, the Hyrox ergs (ski, row) are very far away in the cardio room. Yes they are cardio machines but realistically most people using a ski erg are using it for a hyrox workout. My main issue with this gym is it clearly thinks highly of itself, there are strict rules such as no going topless (fine but maybe they should ensure the whole gym is air conned as it was incredibly hot in the Hyrox style area). The price is about 400 baht a day (when I went in April 25) which I think is expensive but that is fine if all equipment is highly maintaned. The cardio area contained many treadmills with belts thst skipped when you ran on them, to the point that they advised you dont go fast (this is dangerous) and the ski ergs were clearly not calibrated, along with the rowers. Overall, it is well equipped but not worth its price tag depending on what youre looking for. For purely weight lifting/body building i think its probably one of the best.”

“I've been going to Sucses Gym for several years and until now I've designed my own training based on my own experience. A month ago, I decided to get professional coaching. My coach during this time was Owen, one of many coaches at Sucses Gym. I chose Owen because he occasionally corrected my form and pointed out training errors without charging me anything. Now, after seven training sessions, I can say that I chose a very good coach in Owen. He created new training programs for me that target exactly the muscle groups I wanted. He motivated me and also showed me my physical limits. He's a motivated and friendly person whom I can highly recommend. Thank you for your support Owen.”
“Success Gym in Koh Samui is an excellent spot for anyone looking to keep up with their fitness routine while on holiday. The gym has a great selection of equipment that caters to all types of workouts, from weightlifting to cardio. Everything is well-maintained, and the layout makes it easy to find what you need. Plus, their day passes are very affordable, making it perfect for travelers who want to train without committing to a long-term membership. One of the highlights is the attached Muscle Food Cafe, which offers a range of healthy, protein-packed meals and shakes—ideal for refueling after a workout. I came across Barry Lustig’s review, which mentioned the gym being “hotter inside than out.” From my experience, this is a bit of an exaggeration. While it’s warm (understandably so, given Koh Samui’s climate), the gym is equipped with fans and has good airflow, making it comfortable to train in. Success Gym in Koh Samui is a fantastic place to train—if you’re here to actually work out, that is! In Barry Lustig’s review he’s complaining about some supposed “bro culture” and couldn’t help but laugh. Barry, my friend, if you’re looking for a chat, may I suggest a beach bar or a local social club? Gyms aren’t usually where people go to socialize; most of us are there to break a sweat, not break into conversation. That said, I did meet a few friendly folks who were up for a quick chat between sets, so it's far from an unapproachable place. And as for the "barefoot brigade"—yep, it’s real. It’s a bit of a wild sight seeing people risk their toes around heavy weights, but hey, each to their own! Footwear would definitely be a wise (and hygienic) policy here. All in all, Success Gym is a great spot to get in a solid workout with good equipment and cheap day passes. Just come ready to train and dodge a few rogue toes, and you’ll have a great experience!”
“I've given this place 4 months, but I can't take it seriously based on the temperature and bro culture anymore. It has great equipment (especially given that it all had to find it's way to the island) and nice staff but I just can't do it any longer. I'm moving to Elite, for 200 baht more a month it has regulated temperature and a different class of people. You cannot lift weights seriously in 33+ degrees, (and high humidity on top of that). Being mindful that heat rises and I only checked the floor for those temperatures. Over 30 degrees would actually be a health warning in the west, so I don't see how you could recommend anyone over 50 to do any serious resistance training here. Yes the cardio area is fine, that's how gyms are supposed to be. But why am I paying to work out in almost the outside shade temperature? There is a free outdoor beach gym in Lamai...on the beach. In the low season, I told myself "it's ok, they're saving money, there's not many people around, they just forgot to turn on ACs today, etc.". But now in the high season there's 40-50 people working out at one time, and the decorative ACs are still set to 28 or 29 and on low speed (if they're really on at all.) Despite this being "the cool season" the temperature inside the gym with the added bodies is borderline unsafe. Prices are always the same btw and not cheap for Thailand standards. Fact: Breathing in high temperature and humidity is more difficult, you can't tell me squatting, deadlifting, powerlifting, or anything serious in this condition is going to get you PRs, i.e. it's not "success". You're going to need 5-10 min rest in between sets and are going to have heavy fatigue quickly. Fact: The latest science all says cooling the body between sets means it can have longer endurance (maintain rep counts at difficult weights for longer). Search: Stanford studies, palm cooling, etc. Sweating more just means more fatigue, water loss and now I would argue the possibility of heat exhaustion or heat stroke and dehydration (you're not getting healthier by sweating a lot this is really an outdated thought). Fact: Shoes should be warn when lifting weights they provide stability (I know Arnold squatted without shoes and it looked cool, but these guys are like seated curling) and then dropping dumbbells. It's a slippery slope of the same "shoeless clowns" dropping weights, yelling with each rep and then before you know it the shirts are coming off sporadically for mirror posing and ab checks (awesome). - It is 2 or 3 that ruin it for everyone else, and these annoying habits spread quickly. It's a shame. Fact: Some larger looking guys do work out here, but "they're not big from the weights" their pushing (the lifts sure aren't all that heavy at least). It's not the heat making them big either. Fact: This place actually isn't cheap. 50% more than my gym in BKK and yeah not very comparable, that was 4x the size and always the right temperature. Fact: Using fluorescent lights all around the gym walls, only adds to the heat index, I know it might look cool but come on... The gym is fine for cardio and classes, I notice they both use AC, but the rest of the culture and thinking isn't too modern. Good for bro lifts and majority Russian speakers. If they could sort the temperature and the culture it absolutely would be the best place in Samui based on the layout and equipment, but right now all pay 200 baht more a month (for locals) to have airconditioning at Elite, so I don't leave feeling sick and aggrevated by the concern I need to have for 2-3 regular customer "bro's" dropping dumbbells around me while their barefoot and yelling. Since I have to be mindful of their barefooted circus act. I talked to several staff about the temperature but nothing seems to have happened. I do like the gym and staff, but I just can't do it anymore under these conditions, please improve and the place will be great.”
“Personally think it’s the best gym I’ve found in Koh samui for the monthly price and so much equipment and space, it’s amazing. There’s also space for stretching, plenty cardio machines and a studio! 100% recommend.”
