Isaan Style gives Legacy a great review

One of Thailand's most prolific and well read bloggers, Brunty from Isaan Style, has just posted a lengthy and in-depth review of Legacy Gym. He has been blogging about life in Isaan for over 4 years, and has covered a wide range of topics, from local lifestyle and culture to reviews of attractions and things to do in and around Ubon.

Last Saturday, Brunty paid Legacy Gym a visit, gathering information and taking some very cool photographs. Click here to read the article.

Brunty's blog is essential reading for those planning a visit to Ubon, or for those interested in general aspects of life in rural Thailand.

Thanks Brunty for a great write up. You are welcome back to Legacy any time but, next time, bring a pair of gloves and not a pen!

Circuit training

Today we mixed it up by doing circuit training at noon. Six stations for one minutes each followed by one minute of rest. The is repeated three times. Following the circuit we did sprints. The session was finished with shadowboxing as cool down.

The six stations was:

• Skipping

• Tractor tire flips

• Farmers walk

• Push-kicks to a concrete pole

• Clean to shoulder press with bar

• Bashing a tire with a sledgehammer

A Monday at Legacy

A normal Monday starts nice and early at 0600 when I drag myself out of bed and eat some breakfast. At 0630 the very convenient food-or-training bell rings and it is time to start the morning training. Morning training is muay thai and the session starts with running. It is up to you how far you run, but if you are up to it, a nice option is to run a lap around the Huai Wang Nong-lake located just outside the gym. A full lap around the lake is approximatively 8 km.

When the fighters get back from running it is time to start skipping. Following skipping it is time to wrap hands and do shadowboxing. Then comes rounds on the bags and pads with trainers. Each rounds is finished with push ups. At the end of the morning session comes 200 situps.


At 1030 the food-or-training bell rings and it is time for lunch.

At noon there is a grappling class with brown belt Eduardo.

At 1530 the food-or-training bells rings yet again and now it is time for the second muay thai class of the day. Monday afternoon of muay thai means that it is time for muay thai sparring.

After a hard days work it is time for the final call of the food-or-training bell for the day. It is now time for another buffet.
