INTENT Gym Ballyhackamore | East Belfast | Group Personal Training: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Friendly, open, inclusive gym. Well worth the money. For the first time in 15 years I'm seeing definition emerge in my arms and feeling stronger. Josh the owner keeps out the idiots and admits cool people. Very high quality coaching at an affordable price. Support local businesses and sign up today!
Fantastic experience: Had a great time training at Intent - Josh really helped me with my nutrition and motivation and I found it life changing. Have moved away from Belfast now but I'm keeping up online training as it worked so well - would really recommend it to anyone looking to improve their fitness levels and get healthier.
My man! First proper week online was a hit!! We are going to smash this goal of getting to 100kg
Fantastic experience: Rebooted my fitness. Exactly what I needed. Yes it is expensive but the 6 week challenge taught me a lot. A lovely community of people & no intimidating gym bunny b.s. Thanks Josh
Fantastic experience: Just completed the 6 week challenge at Intent and found it a very rewarding experience. Met a lot of lovely people and Josh and Michelle are excellent coaches. The gym facilities are great and the amount of sessions put on everyday means there’s a time slot to suit everyone. After 6 weeks I have found myself fitter, more energetic and far more knowledgeable about exercise and nutrition than before I started. Would def recommend to anyone at any fitness level!
Fantastic experience: Joined Intent 6 weeks ago and I love it. Josh and Michelle are great coaches, they really push you hard but always keep a close eye on you to make sure your form is correct and you always leave with a sense of achievement. In 6 weeks my mind set has changed completely about nutrition and training and it's all down to Josh, Michelle and of course the community in and outside of the gym. Best decision I've ever made
My man! Love working with you keep up the great work mate
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a challenging yet cosy vibe, this is the gym for you! I joined 4 months ago and have seen really pleasing results in my strength and fitness levels. The commitment made by members is matched with superb motivation, knowledge and enthusiasm by coaches Josh and Michelle. Intent really is a model gym
So kind to leave this review Alison, you are doing AMAZING
Fantastic experience: I always said that I'd prefer to stick pins in my eyes than go to a gym. I have been attending intent gym for 2 months and love it, starting to see results. Highly recommend
Can't imagine the place without you now! Legend rosie
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: Best. decision. ever. Josh and Sara are fantastic trainers, fully supportive, and their sessions are both fun and challanging! I always leave intent in a better mood and feeling energetic. The results ive gotten over the past ten months speak for themselves.
Thanks so much Sarah we love having you with us and are blown away by the results you have achieved
Fantastic experience: My wife and I have just completed the 6 week 'Intent Challenge'. The trainers, Josh & Michelle, obviously know their stuff and were very helpful and supportive. There was always a friendly vibe in the small group sessions. The gym is well set out and each person is encouraged to work to their own level, taking account of fitness, strength and any injuries. There are plenty of alternative slots available so there should always be a time to suit you. An additional benefit is having access to specific Apps to track your progress and know in advance of each session what exercises you will be completing that day. The challenge has certainly given us a bit more structure in our training and we would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to kick-start their fitness programme.
Two legends! Thanks for these kind words guys, we loved coaching you both
Fantastic experience: Started with intent a few weeks ago , already noticing the weight come down and mental well-being soar. Josh is a dedicated coach and promotes a positive atmosphere , absolute pleasure to be a part of the intent community
Awk mate, you're a legend!! We have got so much ahead for your journey with us, an absolute gent you are sir
Fantastic experience: I’ve been part of Intent since December ‘21. I’ve been so impressed with Coach Josh’s commitment to his clients - I’ve never once felt like a customer. He asks a lot of you but that’s reciprocated. He’s been helping me get to grips with nutrition too.
Mate! Was lovely reading this, thanks so much for the kind words.Love working with you and look forward to the next few months
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Intent to anyone - the confidence, knowledge and empowerment I now feel is all down to Josh / Intent. Josh is a brilliant coach who helped me ensure I met my own personal goals but also so much more, such as the difference I now notice in my general well-being - I’m much more able, active and confident and that’s such a big take home! Not just the actual classes (which have such a great community feel) but the online aspects and training have all made the difference. I attack each day now with better motivation, goals and ultimately, intent! Thanks for everything Josh!
So glad that you and Beth took the leap. You both have been a pleasure to work with and so happy you have taken so much away from the program
Fantastic experience: Never enjoyed going to a gym, as I was inexperienced and felt intimidated. From the first minute walking into Intent. I immediately felt comfortable and I was clear on what I had to do and what was expected of me. Josh is a brilliant coach! Would definitely recommend!
Thanks so much Terri it was lovely having you down with us
Fantastic experience: Josh is great coach who supports you inside and outside of the gym which helps to keep you accountable. The sessions are tailored to your ability and delivered in an enjoyable environment. I couldn't recommend this gym enough!!
Legend, great to have you back soon. Let's smash these spring|summer months
Fantastic experience: Wonderful training facility and Josh is a pleasure to work with. He has a modern approach to fitness and tailors your programme to fit your needs and objectives. The community that he has built at Intent is lovely and encouraging-really great group to train with! Highly recommend!
Sohui! What a pleasure you have been to coach, with your already grounded base, it's been great keeping you accountable and getting you back on the consistency wagon
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great trainer and great atmosphere! Josh always goes out of his way to ensure his clients are doing everything they can to smash their goals. Definitely recommend.
Lara, the tank!! Haha.In all seriousness you're smashing every week and have been a pleasure to coach, lets keep pushing!
Fantastic experience: Intent is a really positive, friendly and inclusive gym and Josh works incredibly hard helping each of us to achieve our goals. It’s great to be part of the Intent community and I’m delighted with the progress I’ve made in just a few weeks.
Suzy thank you so much for the kind words! It's been a pleasure to work with you and see you progressing
Fantastic experience: Josh is a fantastic coach and lovely person. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him as a PT both as an in-person and virtual client. He is so passionate about what he does and shares knowledge with his clients daily. I achieved great results with Josh and you can too if you put in the work, are committed and trust the process. The gym itself is really cool and you’ll often find Josh’s dog Nacho hanging out there too! The calorie burn from an in person session is insane! I would highly recommend Josh and Intent Fitness.
Suzie! Thanks so much for this lovely review. You have been a pleasure to coach and so glad to have been apart of your journey
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a great leader Josh! I joined Intent hoping to improve upon my strength and overall fitness. Josh not only encourages the physical side of fitness but also nutrition incorporating online sessions as well as specific apps designed to help you track your progress. The Group sessions are fun and rewarding and over the last 3 months I have improved my strength but also learned properly how to use certain equipment and improve my form for exercises I was doing wrong. Thanks for all of the help Josh!
Beth! What a lovely reveiw, thanks so much and i'm so glad that you have learned a lot.All the best with your journey
Fantastic experience: Josh is a breath of fresh air in this sector. He’s client focused and makes the process enjoyable. I can’t recommend him highly enough for those looking to improve their physical and mental health, amongst a community of likeminded people.
It's been great to introduce you to our community Ann you're doing amazing
Fantastic experience: Josh is a great coach. Really good facilities with a community feel. 10/10 would recommend this gym.
Katherine you're an OG, it's been so good to welcome you in and see you grow!
Fantastic experience: Josh is very professional and amazing coach, if you you are looking for a place to get yourself fit I highly recommend Intent
You're doing all that is needed for a successful journey, keep going
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, great coach, great people!
Legend you are sir, ready for that wedding of yours? I think so!!
Fantastic experience: I'm into my third week with INTENT Gym and I'm already starting to reap the benefits. I hadn't trained properly in years and was apprehensive about starting back at a gym but INTENT is unlike any other gym I've been to. Josh is not only an expert in his field but he goes above and beyond for his clients providing constant support and motivation. It's a great environment to be a part of and the group training based structure is a lot of fun as well, everyone is really friendly and supportive.
Mate you're a pleasure to work with and thanks for the kind words. Let's keep progressing
Fantastic experience: Josh is such an amazing coach and so professional, from training with him I have went from strength to strength not just physically but mentally. The gym itself is just phenomenal and is such a great place to train, with alot of friendly faces would 100% recommend.
This has made my day, thank you Nicole
Fantastic experience: Josh is a really great and attentive coach. My strength and fitness has improved so much in just 4 weeks and I’m finding all the advice and information on nutrition super useful. Real sense of community and support from all the other members too. 100x better than your average gym membership!
Thanks so much for this review Emma, was crazy to see you throw that bar up with ease last night! Massive improvemts and we have only just begun! See you next week
Fantastic experience: Training with Josh is a life changer, he is a wealth of knowledge, the gym itself is a pleasure to visit, fitted out to an extremely high standard with the best of equipment, classes are small and the best of crack, you may leave feeling sore but always with a smile. After a one month trial, the results are visible, I’m feeling stronger, and generally a lot fitter and energetic. Signed up for the next 6 months without hesitation, if you want to get results I couldn’t recommend anywhere else!
It's been a pleasure my man, you have been killing it! Long live the lads!!
