Struggle 2 Strength Health & Wellbeing

Fantastic experience: I would be shocked if there was another gym out there that offers what members and the community get in our gym!! From professional coaching to the support and after are is priceless. The coaches make me want to train and the community keeps eachother going from the craic to the real community spirit inside and outside the gym. Results are not easy but the continued support gets you through the highs and lows to make sure you pick yourself up dust yourself off and get back to it. The SGPT classes vary each day to work your while body and on top of that we have additional Hyrox etc for FREE as well as the FREE coffee . I have so much respect for Seán and Damian even though they are two grumps lol. Wouldn’t have them any other way though. Thanks for putting up with me and look forward to our next six week challenge

Fantastic experience: Have only just joined this gym and I've never enjoyed training as much! The coaches and team are so friendly and welcoming. Coaches are so supportive of your goals. Would defo recommend this gym if you are hoping start your fitness journey

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, Great Community & Great Coaches Who Know Their Stuff. Lots Of Classes To Choose From, Own Private App With In-app Meal Plans/Ideas

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, fantastic trainers and welcoming environment with great people.

Fantastic experience: A great gym with a fantastic community and atmosphere! I have been going to S2S for a number of years! The coaches are very knowledgeable and nothing is ever too much trouble! Friends have been made for life at this gym - a great place that I would recommend to anyone who is looking to start their gym journey or fancies something new!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with Fantastic coaches. I started training with Seán about 4/5 years ago at another gym, and I was there when he finally made the move and opened up his own gym with his wife Emma. The business has just been growing and growing since. They have real community going, where everyone is very supportive of each other, the members and the coaches. Seán brought in another coach called Damien full time to help out. Between the two of them they have years and years of experience. They can tailor training and diet to your specific needs. When you join struggle to strength you can choose between doing 2 or 3 SGPT classes, and then on top of those, there are other classes you can attend at no extra cost, like the stretch class, sweat class, hyrox, running club and plenty more. Not only is it s great gym where you have good craic with the coaches and other members, the training is high quality for all levels of fitness and experience in the gym. Everyone is welcomed and supported no matter what. Definitely great value for the money. Give Struggle 2 strength a go if you are looking for a new gym, or just thinking of joining a gym for the first time. You won't be disappointed, promise. ‍♂️

Fantastic experience: Struggle to Strength is a well-run gym with focused, no-nonsense training that gets results. The coaches are experienced, clear in their approach, and push you without the hype. Great setup, solid training plans, and real progress you can measure. And great craic as well!

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym I would recommend to anyone! Great coaches that keep you focused with a lot of banter along the way

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Coaches really knowledgeable and motivating. Such a wide range of classes so you can do multiple classes a week additional to the small group classes, included in membership price which is great ! Overall, recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I trained with Sean and the team for 2 months and loved it. Definitely got a lot stronger and learned a lot about the technique. Only reason in not there now is I'm busy with Brazilian jiu-jitsu and hurling so just don't have the time. Very friendly and a great community at the gym.

Fantastic experience: I joined Struggle 2 strength in January 2023 with the focus to improve my strength and my mobility. Over the last 2 and a half years, I have really improved my physical health but, more importantly, my mental health. The coaches Seán and Damien go above and beyond to support all the members. The S2S community is such a welcoming and safe environment to train in, and the craic and banter make the sessions enjoyable. S2S is very community focused and encourages members engage in a broad range of activities outside of the actual gym, like walk/run club, hikes, sea dips, marathons and Hyrox events, these opportunities gives members an opportunity to socialise together and try news things. I have made some great friends from the gym over the past 2.5yrs and made so many class memories with trips to Madrid and Barcelona for Hyrox and running a leg of the Belfast Marathon the past 2 yrs. Your mental and physical health is so important, and you should never neglect it because your health is your wealth. S2S is so much more than just a gym, and you will never regret walking through the doors

Fantastic experience: I have been training at S2S for almost 2 years now and there isn’t a day that goes by where I regret the decision to join. The community Seán and Damien have built is the most welcoming group of people who don’t take themselves too serious and they welcome people from any background! I have for sure made friends for life! The level of knowledge both coaches has fits all members, no matter their abilities and allows for each individual to be pushed to their own physical and mental limits. Each person is guaranteed 1:1 support from both coaches anytime it is required which makes joining worth it alone. I feel lucky to be apart of this community and I’m excited to see what the future holds.

Fantastic experience: Colin Hughes- Excellent gym, top class coaches , supportive environment and warm and friendly members. You would struggle to find better , 5 STAR

Fantastic experience: Amazing Hyrox focused gym! I love training here

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at this gym for several years now, and I’ve known and trained with the owner(Sean) for even longer. It’s truly a special place — welcoming, supportive, and focused on real, functional fitness. What I love most is that there’s no pressure to look or act like a “gym person.” It’s all about moving well, staying strong, and building a body that supports you in everyday life — no matter your age or fitness level. Now that I’m a woman 40+, I’ve become even more aware of how important it is to take care of our muscles and overall strength. This gym helps me do that in a smart, sustainable way. It’s a space for everyone — people of all ages come here and feel like they belong. The gym offers small group training only, with planned blocks of sessions. Most workouts focus on lifting weights (light or heavy, based on your ability), but there are also great cardio-focused classes and some wonderful stretching/mobility sessions as well. It’s just a great place to train, grow stronger, and feel good in your body — long term

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love struggle 2 strength gym—great vibe, amazing community, and top-tier coaching. Sean and Damien are incredible coaches who genuinely care, always pushing you to improve while keeping it fun. You feel supported, challenged, and part of something special every time you walk in. Couldn’t ask for a better place to train!

Fantastic experience: Been to a few gyms over the years but this was my first experience at a small group facility. Almost 2 years in, and can safely say I will never look back. Plenty of different times for small group, additional classes including Hyrox and run clubs! Two of the friendliest coaches you’ll ever meet, which reflects in the classes as spirits are always high. Great addition to the area!

Fantastic experience: Struggle to Strength is more than just a gym — it's a community that supports both your physical and mental strength. From the moment I joined, I felt welcomed into an amazing atmosphere where I've made friends for life. The coaches are approachable, down-to-earth, and always up for a bit of banter, which makes every session enjoyable and motivating. What really sets this place apart is how family-oriented and supportive it is. I've faced challenges with my mental health, and this gym has played a huge role in helping me through those tough times. The encouragement, positivity, and genuine care from everyone here have made such a difference. Struggle to Strength isn’t just about lifting weights — it’s about lifting each other up.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, tops stay on , coaches and members are all lovely, plenty of banter infused with great workouts. Excellent range of equipment, several different types of classes, educational and social activities to cater for all backgrounds and abilities.

Fantastic experience: After 7 years of zero exercise I was encouraged by family members already at the gym telling me how much i would love it, im six months in and still loving every minute, ive never felt as strong or confident in myself and i believe thats all down to the coaches, Sean and Damian, alongside the other members who encourage you all the way!

Fantastic experience: Best gym about! Been coming 18 months and love the community and the coaches. Everyone is so supportive and the best craic!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Welcoming to all body types and skill levels. Coaches are great and community is very welcoming

Fantastic experience: Great gym. With a great atmosphere and really supportive coaching from both Sean and Damien. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym! Couldn’t recommend enough. The best support from the coaches and a very welcoming and friendly community.

Fantastic experience: Have been with a few gyms and PTs over the years, but this last 11 months with S2S has been the most relaxed and comfortable I’ve felt in a gym. I’ve made great progress without the fad diets and extreme DOMS other gyms make you feel are necessary. The coaches are so knowledgable and can alter exercises to accommodate injuries/heatlh issues, they’re always on hand for guidance and encouragement. The support and banter from the other members during the classes makes them really enjoyable. It’s honestly so much more than just a gym- it’s a community.

Fantastic experience: I joined Struggle to Strength in January 2023 and I can hand on heart say it was the best decision I have ever made regarding my health and fitness. Having neglected training for a number of years I was apprehensive about joining a new gym but from my very first session Seán put me at ease. Both coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive and are there for you outside of your regular sessions. The programs are structured and everything is tailored to your own ability. On top of your sessions there are the additional classes and regular events to get the whole community together to have a bit of craic. For me the most unique thing about S2S is the community of members. An unreal bunch of people who are not only there for you when you need a push in the gym but outside of it too. Everyone is so approachable and friendly. S2S will change your attitude to working out and will vastly improve your health and wellbeing, I honestly cannot recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Joining Struggle2Strength was the best decision I ever made. To look at me you would never know I have lifted 100Kg. Struggle 2 Strength. Seán,Damien and the community have helped me so much. I have dealt with grief, serious illness, a double operation. Seán has been there every step of the way. The whole gym are like nothing else. Inclusive, supportive, caring. This gym is a place to empower you, lift you up.it is like no other. If you are curious give it a go. Ask questions come see what you can get out of it.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Struggle 2 Strength for a few years now and can honestly say I've loved every minute of it. The people and community spirit is second to none and everyone is so friendly and supportive. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, be it just starting out or a seasoned pro, S2S has you covered with programs and exercises tailored to your own individual circumstances. Everyone is welcome whatever their ability and nobody is left out of anything. Also, no matter what problems or issues you may be experiencing in life, be they gym related or not, Seán, Damien and the whole community are always on hand to help. S2S really is more than just a gym. If you want to improve your physical and mental wellbeing while having the best craic and banter with like minded people then I'd 100% recommend S2S. Give it a go, what have you got to loose.

Fantastic experience: The best gym!! Non judgemental and everyone is so friendly. The coaches are so supportive and approachable - they’ll always push you to do your best no matter what that is! Lots of different classes to choose from and there’s always a great vibe (and good music)

Fantastic experience: From my own experience I’ve never met a gym that offers soo much support and advice… I was made to feel comfortable especially after feeling so anxious about joining a new gym but the fellas are so understanding and supportive! I joined a beginners programme and now after 6 weeks I’ve joined as a full time member! Can’t wait to get back!

Fantastic experience: Started the 6 week programme in July and didn't think I'd get far with it.., having now completed it I enjoyed every minute, the training, help & support given by Damien & Sean was great as were my results. I have now joined as a full time member, with the classes & sessions offered with this Gym, I am now looking forward to drastic changes to benefit myself

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and great knowledge from both coaches with nutrition, strength and fitness. Having trained in normal gyms I was weary of the small group sessions but I have enjoyed every one and been pushed and held accountable as much as if it was one to one.

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best there is!! It’s more than a gym. Everyone supports each other and encourages everyone to push themselves. I really used to hate the gym where now I look forward to the classes every week. The craic and banter with everyone is next to none. I would 1000% recommend joining. Can’t thank Seán and Damien enough for everything they’ve done for me.

Fantastic experience: I approached Sean to help me in my recovery and to get me back into fitness after having a few years battling addiction and having bad mental health. Joining here was the best decision I mate it is a community with all walks of life just trying to use fitness to help them in everyday life. For me I haven’t looked back and getting in to a session or 2 each week has help me a great deal. I can’t thank Sean and Damien and other members enough for the support that I personally have received

Fantastic experience: I have been to a lot of gyms in my life and have experienced a lot of different personal trainers in my time. But when I first started with Sean at S2S, i was blown away by his attention to detail and care he takes with everyone in the gym. If you are someone who has never been to a gym or don't feel comfortable in your typical gym environment but want to improve your quality of life then this is the place for you. Everyone is really friendly and has a good laugh while getting the work done and before you know it you are apart of a community you never thought you needed.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of S2S since it opened and couldn't recommend it enough. Having previously struggled training on my own in bigger gyms, S2S is a gym offering small group sessions where everyone is supported and encouraged. Seán & Damien are very knowledgeable, they offer a broad timetable, and can tailor sessions to all needs & abilities. I have also loved training here while pregnant and now postpartum!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this place enough. Sean and Damien (the coaches) are a class act and adopt to your needs with restrictions etc.. The members are amazing and everyone has each others backs. This has made a massive positive change to my physical health but mostly my mental health. Great place to be to lift the mood and the crack is brilliant. Tough sessions but always get a laugh in there at some point. You should really consider this gym if you want to make positive changes for your health

Fantastic experience: Struggled to be consistent and stick with previous gym memberships but have been with S2S for over a year now and barely missed a session. Encouraging, structured & positive coaching has made it really easy to not just keep up my fitness but actually enjoy doing it. The sessions are really good craic, great atmosphere in the group sessions. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined S2S 18 months ago with very little gym or strength training experience. Through the coaching of Seán and Damien I feel fully confident in training and appreciate the 1:1 support that I get in each session I attend. S2S has helped me improve my fitness levels, physique, eating habits, and general confidence in a gym environment. There are so many extra classes included with my membership so it is also very good value for money in comparison to other small group personal training facilities. Highly recommend joining if you want to improve your general fitness and wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: I joined S2S just over a year ago having not been in a gym for many decades! Sean and Damien (coaches) made me feel with welcome as did the gym community. Everyone is so friendly, supportive and the craic is good. I would have no hesitation in recommending S2S to anyone young or old.

Fantastic experience: Seán & Damien are very supportive and encouraging. Such a welcoming environment. Everyone is so friendly and it’s the first time in my life I’ve stayed at a gym so long and felt completely comfortable during each session. It’s more than just a gym, it’s a community of people who are there to support each other.

Fantastic experience: As your non typical gym goer, I find this gym amazing. The guys are friendly and the atmosphere is fantastic. They know how to pitch exactly what each member needs, and keep an eye out to make sure everyone is doing as they should. It is welcoming, warm and good craic, with the bonus of building on your health, mental well being and strength!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Seán for a few years now and most recently at Struggle 2 Strength with him and Damien. Its been a real journey, one were I've gained strength both mentally and physically. Both coaches are very knowledgeable and can adapt any exercise to ability whether you are a complete beginner with no gym experience or a regular gym goer. As well as that, they put a huge amount of effort into making the gym a welcoming space for all members and are always looking for ways to encourage you to push yourself physically and mentally to the next level. Two genuine fellas who are very approachable and have a non-judgemental attitude. I would recommend the gym to anyone wanting to improve their overall fitness and wellbeing. Michael

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym. Sean and Damien are so supportive and adapt exercises on an individual basis to cater for all abilities. There is a whole culture of encouragement from Sean, Damien and the other members. Weekly check-in's are followed up and monthly social events are arranged. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Being new to Northern Ireland from Canada, I was nervous to enter a gym and very unsure on where to go. S2S was HIGHLY recommended by a friend so I thought I would check it out. I was immediately welcomed in by Sean the owner and all the members. It was more than just a gym but a community. I was invited to events outside the gym and found my calendar filling up. Being quite active already, going to the gym has pushed me past my plateaus and I find myself getting stronger and fitter by the day, helping me excel in my other sport ventures. Thank you Sean and the whole S2S community for making me feel at home. Best gym ever. And my favorite colour is orange Update: Still going strong at S2S! Had the honour of being part of an amazing fundraiser for Kasia's Gift which I just posted pictures of the whole family getting involved ♥️

Fantastic experience: First day at Struggle 2 Strength with Sean. Very modern & professional gym. Sean is absolutely top class from registration stage straight through to the gym floor. He has a great balance between tailoring everything individually & for the group as a whole. Can’t wait to go back Top man Sean
