“I had the privilege of training at AKA Thailand with my entire family and it was such an amazing experience. They have everything a professional athlete would need to run their entire camp from one location. The food is clean and healthy, they have a separate indoor workout area, huge space for training both inside and outdoors with the elements. There’s just something about being with nature that sparks creativity within an athlete and the views are absolutely breathtaking. Mike Swick and his staff were all very helpful during our stay and made me feel right at home. Every coach that I worked with was very knowledgeable and fun to work with. I’m planning on making another trip out there very soon. I can’t wait to see everybody!”
