Is There a Rowing Machine or Concept2 in Phuket Gyms?

Yes, though availability varies more than you’d expect for such a common piece of cardio equipment, so it’s worth confirming before you build a training plan around it. As Phuket’s fitness scene has grown to accommodate hybrid-fitness and HYROX-style training, more gyms — especially the larger, more premium facilities in the Chalong area — have added Concept2 rowing machines and skiErgs specifically to meet that demand.

Smaller traditional Muay Thai camps, by contrast, are less likely to have a rower as standard equipment, since their facilities are built around pad work, rings, and conditioning space rather than cardio machines. If erg training is a core part of your trip — whether for HYROX prep or pure rowing performance — it’s worth specifically targeting gyms known for strength and conditioning or hybrid-fitness programming rather than assuming any combat sports camp will have what you need.

A practical way to confirm before booking: message the specific gym directly and ask whether they have a Concept2 rower or skiErg on-site, rather than relying on general marketing or photos, since equipment can change and not every listing is current. Some of the higher-end all-in-one facilities in Chalong have specifically built out dedicated HYROX training zones, which reliably include a rower, making them a safer bet if erg access is non-negotiable for your training.

If a gym doesn’t have one and it’s a dealbreaker, it’s sometimes possible to find a standalone strength and conditioning gym nearby that does, and split your sessions across two locations — pad work or strength at one, erg sessions at the other.
