Not your average holiday

Why this retreat is exactly what you've been craving

If you're at home scrolling through social media watching other women like you, out in the world, unleashing their inner power in a tropical paradise, and you're thinking “I'd love to do something like that” but I'd have no idea where to start. Or… “They don't make retreats like that for women like me.”

Trust me, I've been there. That's exactly why I created the Life Changing Phuket Escape.

The Phuket Escape is perfect if:

  • You want to lose weight, get strong, and feel confident in your body again, but you don't want to do it alone.
  • You've always wanted to travel, but don't know where to start, especially when it comes to booking fitness stuff.
  • You're tired of feeling stuck, burnt out, and just want someone to take care of everything for once.
  • You want structure, connection, and a reset, without sacrificing fun, culture, or carbs.

This retreat is not for:

  • Women who don't like meeting other like-minded women looking to become the best version of themselves
  • Those who aren't open to trying something new
  • Anyone expecting a rigid boot camp instead of an empowering, nurturing escape
  • Women who don't like investing in their health, fitness, and becoming their best self

The location

Why Phuket?

Soi Ta-iad, better known as Fitness Street, is a one of a kind destination filled with world class gyms, healthy cafes, stunning tropical beaches, massage studios, and vibrant community vibes.

I live here full time, so you'll get the true insider experience, from the best food spots to the quiet beach corners most tourists miss. Plus, Phuket has blue skies, dreamy sunsets, and the perfect weather for both training and chilling.

Testimonials

What women love about Coached By Katy

  • Client testimonial
    “It's my second time with Katy, and there's a reason I came back to her, she gets results! But she doesn't do it through shouting at you or making you feel bad, she works with you to find a plan that suits you and your needs.”
    Suki Chauhan
  • Client testimonial
    “I never thought at the age of 63 I could lift weights to tone up, Katy has educated me that anything is possible regardless of age. The social aspect of her program (group chat) is an amazing platform not just for gaining tips and advice but interacting with likeminded people.”
    Manjit Rai
  • Client testimonial
    “Katy herself is lovely, she's supportive, relatable and really checks in with you. You never feel like just another person in a programme; she genuinely cares about how you're doing and celebrates your progress along the way.”

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be fit to join?

Nope! This retreat is for all levels. Every session is scalable and supportive.

Can I come alone?

Yes! Most women do. You'll be surrounded by a warm, welcoming group.

Are flights included?

No, flights are not included, but we help guide you through the booking process.

What's the cancellation policy?

Deposits are non-refundable. Your spot is secured with your deposit, and this helps us cover upfront costs and bookings. For cancellations less than 30 days before the retreat start date no refunds can be given, as by this point all costs are locked in and it is very difficult to fill your space on short notice. Travel insurance is recommended.

What if I have dietary needs?

All meals can be tailored to your preferences. Just let me know in advance.

What is SHA+ certification?

It means your accommodation meets Thailand's highest safety, hygiene, and quality standards.

It's expensive. What if it's not for me?

This is not a one-size-fits-all package. I only take 10 women with me each trip, so I can be with you every day to tailor the experience just for you, so you fly home with everything you need to sustain your goals, your new-found confidence, and love for fitness.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. If you feel you'll get something from the retreat but you're concerned about expenses, there is a payment plan option. Get in touch to find out more.

What if I'm pregnant, post-partum, or injured?

If you're currently pregnant, this retreat is not suitable. We recommend waiting until after your postpartum recovery to join us. If you're postpartum or managing an injury, we'll tailor your experience to accommodate you. The training can be modified based on your needs and current fitness level. Just let us know in advance so we can plan appropriately. As always, please check with your doctor before attending to confirm you're cleared for this type of activity.
