The Absolute Story

Absolute You Boutique Fitness Studio was founded by Benjaporn Karoonkornsakul in 2002 in Bangkok, Thailand. Benjaporn, after a career in banking, found her passion in yoga and identified a young fitness industry in Thailand that was full of opportunity.

Initially focused on yoga, Absolute You expanded its offerings to include pilates and cycling as the brand developed. The company's philosophy revolves around providing a holistic approach to fitness, promoting overall well-being and balance.

Absolute You has grown to operate 11 clubs throughout Thailand and three in Singapore. Additionally, the company owns Absolute Sanctuary, a luxury wellness retreat on the Thai island of Koh Samui.
