It’s quite fascinating how much things can change in as little as 4 weeks. As you may or may not have noticed, I haven’t posted anything since I joined the fitness camp of Titan Fitness Phuket. There are a few reasons for that, but the main one was that I simply didn’t have the time to focus on it, and I wanted to put as much of myself as possible into enjoying the experience without having to feel like I needed to do something, take photos of something, or just fake the enjoyment of what I was at.
Thankfully, this never became an issue because the second of many home truths that came out of me doing this experience is the fact that I was insanely underprepared, a notion I will get to in the near future. However, what does that mean for these blogs? Well, now that they are done, I will reflect back on the weeks I had and discuss week by week my feelings, and by the end, hopefully you will feel how I felt and know if it’s something you’d ever consider.
Now, what was the first home truth? Be more cognizant of what exactly I am paying for. After finishing the last blog on the night of Friday the 24th, I went straight to bed, excited to start strong in classes the next day. Thusly, I arrived at the Titan camp at precisely 8am on Saturday the 25th. Why does this matter? Well, on a Saturday in Titan, there are a whopping 2 classes: Saturday morning Beach Training [7am] and a Body 360 class [10:15am]. Both are extremely fun classes worth their weight to go to; however, due to my arrival, one of those classes was null and void, and I had administrative necessities to get done, so it just so happened I missed the 360 too.
As a result, I effectively made my start date of Saturday the 25th of January a rest day for the week of exploring Old Phuket I had done. Graciously, I still had access to the open gym and food aspect of the package, so I immediately availed myself of those particular options. This is also where one of my many failings rose its ugly head again, unfortunately.
During my time within Titan, I attempted four breakfasts, one of which I do not have an image for. The first was a spinach and vegetable omelette, a delight that took me 40 minutes to eat—it disagreed with me that badly, taste profile-wise.
The second, an oatmeal and yogurt bowl mixed with some almond nuts, was a surprisingly nice breakfast; however, it took me a stupidly long time to eat the full thing, and towards the end, I wanted to end it all.
So, third, I tried the scrambled eggs. In theory, this was meant to come with an attachment of vegetables to accompany it—quinoa and avocado, just to name a few. Well, why is that an issue? Well, if you haven’t noticed it, my big fat red flag with food is vegetables. I absolutely loathe them, despise them, hate their very existence, and much to my chagrin, this experience didn’t help with it, so there’s a goal for me in the future. Alas, it led to me exclusively sticking to scrambled eggs and brown rice every single day.
In order to ensure that consistency was achieved above all else, the same principle was maintained for my lunch and dinners, only being one option: chicken with brown rice or, eventually, sweet potato for every Titan meal I had, alongside the two fresh protein shakes which comprised of water, a whole banana, and vanilla protein powder. Honestly, I did not care about the lack of change—I am a creature of habit and happily kept to the same; however, it did light a fuse in me to experience more types of food, even if I loathe it, and see what I have been potentially missing. Which will be good for when I do food reviews in the future—subtle plug, sure, why not?
Anyways, back to my initial point, I should have known the schedule and not put myself in a position where I basically missed an entire day’s worth of classes. In the future, and if you’re considering it, start on the Monday and arrive as early as possible in gym clothes because, especially if you have the Titan Fitness accommodation of the Little Hills resort, they will get that ready whilst you go to your class, and happy out—bob’s your uncle.
In my case, as I was getting my body composite done between breakfast and lunch. Below is an image of said body composition, and it was via these that I learned another hard truth: I am far more feebly minded than I figured. This is something I will write about in one of the future posts; HOWEVER, purely on a mathematical level, my composite before I joined was the most equal and standard my body was through the whole process. In fact, my InBody score was the best of the whole process in this picture. That would later screw with my mindset something fierce, but even looking at the numbers on this first day gave me a beating to my pride I didn’t expect.
However, it also led to figuring out the best thing about the Titan Fitness Camp and the Fitness Street and Thailand in general: everyone is so friendly, so approachable, and so aware that they are willing and wanting to converse. For reasons that I’m not sure they want to be named, after receiving this sheet, I met with a man called T. He told me to lighten up and look at the brighter side of things. It was the beginning, so I could only improve from there. We then conversed for a nice period of time, and I was invited to my first event of the street, a fight night in the nearby Tiger Muay Thai centre.
This had me genuinely excited. I had gotten my room—luckily one became available early, and I was able to go in, get ready, and make my way to meet a collective going to the event. Then I hit my first proper wall, the first thing that actually made me consider whether or not the entirety of the trip to Thailand was worth it. The omelette and chicken I had devoured earlier twisted my stomach into knots, and I was not in a condition to be 100 percent myself. Thankfully, someone who had been there before recommended a supplement known as a charcoal tablet that would resolve it mighty quick—just not quick enough for that night’s festivities.
This led to another hard truth, one that has been made painfully apparent throughout all of these posts: I am ridiculously cheap. Throughout the night, I had drunk six two-litre bottles of water at 80 Thai Baht a piece, which was 4x that of the 7-11 not more than 4 minutes up the road, but in this case, I acquiesced and paid like a good boy. Other than that, it was a really good night. It had competent production, good matches—if not a few cases of bad matchups—and even a free BBQ for the customers, which I cannot comment on as I was barely holding it together by then. Below are a few images and a couple of videos.
After the night was done, we all were ready to say goodbye before it was recommended that with our day off, which is a Sunday, maybe we could go into Old Phuket Town and go to the weekend night market. Honestly, it was one of the few elements of the Old Town I had yet to see as it was a weekend-only thing, meaning my escapades never got a chance to see it. So, we agreed we would go and see it as a group. Indeed, we might even add a few more people to the group if they’ll accept it.
Sunday was the actual day off that Titan affords all of its clients. For me, this meant getting in my 10k steps in some manner, but for this day, it was to relax at the Little Hill pool—a nice surprise as I never bothered to check and see if it had one. Sundays being the only day where Titan gave me no food meant I went up the road to a spot called Trooper Eats. If you’re ever on the Fitness Street, it gets my highest recommendation, which means nothing yet as I still need to come up with my grading mechanism—foreshadowing to the distant future of posts.
Anyways, I had improved so much from there, and we met up with everyone. We walked around it 2 or 3 times, encompassing easily 1 and a half hours of time. It was the first slight slip I had. I ordered and devoured a BBQ honey-roasted rib, and damn, did it make me nostalgic for the old times I had ribs at home. Alas, we walked around that street picking up bowls of fresh mango, a fish of some description, and a special tea. Honestly, I stopped listening after the others were convinced because I knew I was too ready to crack.
Alas, we met with several other Titans who were out to experience the good vibes and atmosphere like us. With that being the case, we found the nicest-looking place to use; thusly, a few of the other Titans directed us to the building I mistakenly found out was a bank for the rich in one of my previous posts https://craicattackcentral.com/2025/01/28/🌅-the-last-days-of-unstructured-phuket-from-upscaling-to-stubborn-comforts-to-the-sublime-centre-🌴✨/. There, we came together and created a photo that I will love and cherish for many years to come.
I then went home and got ready to prepare for the plethora of things that would come to me on the next day, Monday the 27th of January, my actual first proper day with Titan. However, hilariously, that will be a story for the next post coming in the next few days, as I think this post has gone on long enough. Thanks for reading and please leave a comment if you feel so inclined.
Until next time, my friends! Be sure to keep your craic at 90! Slán go fóill!
