HENCH

Fantastic experience: Excellent! This gym is a perfect place to achieve your fitness goals with a supportive community. Whether you prefer individual workouts or group classes, the variety of equipment available for strength training caters to all levels. The focus on individual progress within a welcoming community sets this gym apart. The coaches are extremely supportive , professional, knowledgeable and patient!

Fantastic experience: Great place for working out. New to weight training? HENCH has personal training sessions with groups of 5 people or less with dedicated space and equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly, encouraging staff, tailored workout plan, have own time slot and workspace

Fantastic experience: Have been a member for several years. Great setup and sound staff.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Hench gym (6 weeks and counting) and it has truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a super nice and helpful team who are incredibly knowledgeable. The equipment is top-notch, well maintained, ensuring a clean and safe workout environment. The supportive atmosphere is palpable, with members and staff alike creating a positive and motivating space. The addition of a dedicated rack is an absolute game changer, providing the perfect setup for serious training. It's clear that people genuinely want to be here, and it's become a highlight of my routine. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: A gym that's changed how I think about going to the gym. If you think 1-2-1 PT sessions are too much and you want some guidance but also to crack on with your workout in peace from time to time - this is the place for you. Book in, try 6 weeks and you will not be disappointed. A gym that can be tailored to your life and goals. And most importantly, a gym that is great craic.

Fantastic experience: Love Hench, the team are great and really enjoying my programme

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym, the trainers are all brilliant and they really adapt to around your lifestyle and schedule. Love it!

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and set-up, and most importantly the fantastic atmosphere, all ages and genders welcomed. Had the most physical and mental changes with the help from Hench, the personal training has helped me exceed my own expectations and limits. Can’t wait to see what Hench does next!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed training in Hench over the last year! The coaches in the gym are always very helpful & friendly. They set you up with your own personalized program thats tailored to suit you. Hench is very unique as you have your own space when you come into train. I loved this because it made it easy to schedule training into a busy lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to HENCH for just over a year now and I have seen a massive difference to my overall fitness and strength. The fantastic coaches and great facilities make the gym a great place to train and achieve your fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Started here a couple of months ago and I have to say it's brilliant. I called them up when I was looking for a new gym and the owner answered the phone and was really friendly and overall nice to talk to. Since starting training with them I couldn't say a bad word - excellent facilities, brilliant staff, extremely professional and knowledgeable and personable, and all round just an excellent place and service. It's definitely worth every penny. My girlfriend joined a few weeks after and it's been a game changer for her as well - we really look forward to going every week. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Having been a member for a little over a year now I couldn’t speak more highly of Hench and the team and why they exemplify what an independent business can offer. A frequent feature of membership based gyms is to get you in the door, locked in to a contract then not follow up on what you’re being offered. This is the complete opposite to what Hench provide, from initial consultation through sign up and all the way through membership you’re treated as an individual with tailored programming and coaching and a genuine interest in seeing you progress and get the most out of your training. This is reflected in the wide variety of members of all ages and shapes. The environment provided is completely conducive to making everyone feel relaxed and ready to get to work. The place is an absolute joy.

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly gym in very central Belfast location. Recently ungraded facilities with personal but non intrusive training support

Fantastic experience: Great team at hench, brought me back to basics with my technique, and built me up to be stronger and better at my lifts. Great location and facilities. Been here for a year and a half.

Fantastic experience: Hench has the perfect mix of a Personalised Training Programme without the costs of a personal trainer. All of the coaches I've worked with, Jay, Joe, Conor and Bronagh, are incredible at what they do. With only three sessions a week, I saw incredible results after a month. With very little, to no, gym experience beforehand.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to change your life, this is the place for you! I joined Hench nearly two years ago. At the time I was desperate for change and knew I needed support, structure and to be educated on how to train properly. I got into the best shape of my life through the encouragement & expertise of the incredible coaches, an amazing safe environment and built such a strong fitness foundation in myself. From there, I got married & got pregnant and I’m still training right up to being 39 weeks pregnant. I wouldn’t be here without my journey at Hench and I know I’ll be stronger for life because of them! Cant wait to see what life will be like for me post baby! I honestly would recommend Hench to everyone that wants to take training seriously, become your best self and achieve goals over a long sustainable period of time!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym! Very practical model - you’re given a personalised program, attend scheduled times, and trainers talk you through each exercise, so you’re not doing the same thing as everyone else in the class. Quality of the coaching is superb, and I’ve really noticed great progress which I wouldn’t have done on my own.

Fantastic experience: Would really recommend Hench to people at all stages of their fitness journey. The supportive and collaborative coaching style has really helped me on my way to achieving my goals and its been great to see how I'm progressing week on week. There are so many exercise slots to choose from which makes it easy to flex around my work schedule. I've had some issues with a shoulder injury I had prior to joining hench. The coaches have been mindful of this and have tailored a programme for me based around this which has been really beneficial to me. If you're looking for some help on your fitness journey, Hench is the way forward!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with professional and friendly trainers. Bespoke programmes updated regularly and small training groups giving great access to trainers onsite. Would highly recommend for all levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: Perfect spot for someone who wants to get serious about lifting but needs some guidance and support. Having your own rack and never having to wait for equipment is such a massive benefit to keeping consistent and tracking orgress. The staff are so sound and helpful. It's so nice to walk into it and be able to put the head down and work but also chat with PTs and get any questions answered with real knowledge. Would recommend to anyone who wants to step up their training and get a real routine going.

Fantastic experience: I joined HENCH 2 years ago as a complete beginner and have been training there consistently ever since. HENCH has shifted my mindset around strength training and has provided me with an opportunity to view my fitness journey from a more balanced perspective. I love the great atmosphere at HENCH and have always felt comfortable training there without the fear of being judged. Coaches are also very knowledgeable, they helped me build a strong foundation which has guided me to be more confident in strength training. I would highly recommend this place to everyone, especially beginners who are looking for a healthy environment to start their training journey.

Fantastic experience: Top notch facilities, brilliant coaching & programming. Hench takes all the thinking and hassle out of a structured training program. I’ve made better progress here in 6 months than in the past 5 years training on my own. I’d highly recommend Hench to anyone interested in strength training, from complete beginner to experienced athletes.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this gym enough; it's a solid 5-star facility that stands out due to its exceptional coaching staff. The coaches are not just knowledgeable but genuinely supportive, helping me smash through a training plateau. It's clear they're dedicated to everyone's personal fitness journey, making goals attainable and challenging workouts enjoyable. The community and facilities here are first-class. The members are friendly . The gym itself has excellent equipment in a clean, spacious setting... If you're on the lookout for a gym that truly values progress and community, look no further.

Fantastic experience: I joined Hench around 6 months ago now and couldn’t recommend them more. I joined having done no strength training previously so was a little nervous but the coaching and support I’ve received has been amazing and has really changed my mindset in a positive way in relation to exercise. It’s been amazing to see the progress I’ve made which wouldn’t have been possible without the coaches. The timing of the coaching slots available gives me the flexibility to go whenever suits around work and other commitments, with the booking system meaning all the equipment I need for my session is available when I go. I’d highly recommend for anyone looking to give strength training a go!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, protect for beginners or those looking for a constructive programme to progress their training

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Hench for around 6 months and it is the best gym I’ve been a member of. If you’re looking for transformation pics or 1000 calorie diets this isn’t the place for you. Focus is on strength, health and wellbeing and the coaches always strive to make you as comfortable as possible no matter what your goal is, this gym is for everyone

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I have ever been a member. The set up is completely different to a commercial gym, in that training programmes are tailored to your individual goals and objectives. Having a coach on hand at every session means you are constantly learning and doing things the right way. Hench is now a lifestyle choice and I genuinely look forward to every session. Rory has worked with passion and dedication over the years to build Hench what it is today. He has built a team of dedicated coaches who make everyday a school day! Cant recommend this place enough.

Negative experience: Fine for their 6 week challenge, you will learn; but I can only advise you avoid signing up for longer. I (stupidly) signed up for 6 months and pre-paid a whopping £1,195. Which quite frankly, is not worth it. Their schedule is limited, their bathroom amenities is lacklustre (consist of 1 old electric shower and a small shared changing room and no lockers), and a lack of varied equipment. In hindsight, it lacks a lot of what I would want and expect from paying £200/month for a gym, and I absolutely regret having joined. Also, should you develop an injury that doesn't allow you to attend the gym, work, or have a normal life during the time you attend the gym, don’t be expecting any type of refund, but do expect a legally threatening letter should you complain.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Coaches are great. They really take care of you and tailor their approach to the individual. The focus is very much on mindset and wellbeing rather than aesthetics. Though your wobbly bits will inevitably get a bit tighter too! :) I really love that you get your own equipment station to work from and everyone is very focused on their own work out. It makes you feel less self-conscious. This place feels like a community. More purposeful and more impactful than the average gym.

Fantastic experience: Feeing supported in my nutrition and training goals, with personalised, consistent input has changed my approach to my health. Plus I never ever before would have lifted these bad boys…

Fantastic experience: I joined Hench around 5 months ago after feeling lost in my fitness journey. I can honestly say it's the best gym I've ever been to. All the coaches are extremely knowledgable and helpful - I've learned so much in the short time I've been a member. By following my coaches tailored programme I've achieved fat loss and body composition goals quicker than before and I'm stronger than I've ever been. The atmosphere in the gym is very welcoming and non-judgmental and you're really made to feel part of the community right away. I couldn't recommend Hench enough!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym that will equip you with the correct knowledge and tools to lift with excellent form, whilst maintaining full autonomy over your own strength and fitness goals - HENCH is the place to be! I cannot recommend this gym enough. Since joining nearly two years ago, the coaches have been extremely professional and encouraging. The entire team are dedicated to each member and their progress, and have created an environment which is welcoming and inclusive, no matter where individuals are on their own fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I love HENCH. After years of trying standard budget gyms and not getting anywhere I tried hench and haven’t looked back. Strength training just makes me feel great. All the trainers are super encouraging and helpful and the facilities are top. It’s super convenient having your own equipment each time you’re in. It is a little pricey but if you want to invest in your health and well-being it’s worth it IMO.

Fantastic experience: Hench has been an absolute game changer! I used to suffer from gym anxiety which deterred me from working out and taking my health and fitness seriously. Joining Hench was the best thing I’ve done, the team is so welcoming and friendly. The environment is relaxed and the coaches are great at motivating and encouraging you to reach your goals. There’s a real sense of community and you see that come out at the socials which are such great craic! My experience so far has been a 10/10, would definitely recommend to anyone starting out on their fitness journey or anyone experienced wanting to push themselves a little bit more!

Fantastic experience: I went into their 6 week challenge having never lifted weights before and dreading it, but from day 1 everyone at Hench made me feel welcome and confident that I’d be well looked after. The progress I saw was unbelievable - at that point I had tried everything under the sun and just didn’t enjoy exercising. Hench made me enjoy exercising, and Jay’s frequent check ins helped with my consistency and progress

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Hench enough! By far the most confident and comfortable I’ve felt in a gym environment. With the support of brilliant coaches I’ve made great progress, not just in training but and mentally/physically outside the gym. Have been training consistently for a couple years here and won’t give it up any time as it’s still as enjoyable and challenging as ever.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I stepped into this gym, I was welcomed by its vibrant community spirit. The members are supportive, creating an environment where everyone feels encouraged to push their limits. The personal trainers are top-notch, tailoring programs to individual needs while ensuring both safety and effectiveness. It's not just a place to work out, but a community where you're inspired and motivated every day. Highly recommended for those seeking both fitness and camaraderie

Fantastic experience: HENCH is hands down the best gym I've ever come across! I’ve been a loyal member for nearly 2 years now, and I can't express how much it has positively impacted my life. The coaches at HENCH are exceptional. They've not only guided me in building my physical strength but have also helped me develop a solid routine that has become a cornerstone of my daily life. The variety of programmes they offer keeps things exciting and challenging, ensuring that I never hit a plateau. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned lifter, their personalised approach caters to all levels. But it's not just about the gains. HENCH Gym has improved my life in countless ways. The sense of community here is incredible; you'll find yourself surrounded by like-minded individuals who genuinely support and motivate each other. What really sets HENCH apart is its holistic approach to wellness. It's not just about lifting weights; it's about fostering mental resilience, promoting a balanced lifestyle, and achieving overall well-being. In a world where gym options are abundant, HENCH truly stands out as a beacon of excellence.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of hench now for about 2 months and can honestly say after trying anytime fitness and better gym, I couldn't be happier having found hench. The coaches are lovely,really engaging,knowledgeable, and just pleasant to be instructed by no shaming or unrealistic expectations. They seem to treat everyone as an individual and try to help you get what you want from it.

Fantastic experience: I must say, the personal trainers here are absolutely fantastic and well worth every penny spent. Throughout my 18-month membership, I never have once missed a session. This investment in your health is truly invaluable.

Negative experience: Nice equipment, provided by vacillating coaches whilst men grunt loudly and stare whilst paying premium price. If you *have infinite time, and *all the money on earth - waste it here ;)

Fantastic experience: Great team really helping me out with my fitness goals

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've been to in Belfast. All the coaches take their time to explain all exercises and answer any query you have. Great atmosphere in the gym too!

Fantastic experience: Caring Considerate and have your back...love it

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been to! Lovely staff, great equipment and great program! Much recommended

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Coaches are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to each member. Good atmosphere with like minded people. More expensive than other gyms but you certainly get what you pay for at HENCH. Gym is suitable for all people no matter what stage they're at on their journey.

Fantastic experience: It's like super fast internet, yes it's expensive but once you get used to it you can't go back

Fantastic experience: Great facility and friendly coaches, it feels more like a sports club than a gym. Started the trial with zero strength training experience and learnt so much while actually enjoying going to the gym for once.

Fantastic experience: I recently had a month trial with Hench and decided to sign up as it exceeded my expectations. The coaches are great, they really listen to you and help drive you to meet your targets and goals. The workouts are fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at HENCH now for 9 months. The facilities are great, the training is top class and the coaches are very knowledgeable and approachable. The attention to detail that you get in HENCH is brilliant. This has made a huge difference in improving my lifts and form each session. The atmosphere in the gym is great and I couldn't recommend it enough for anyone in the Belfast area!

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, inspiring and expert coaches, great community in a great location. Have loved my time at HENCH. Had a couple of injuries over the past year from being hunched over at a desk all day and the coaches have been invaluable on my road to recovery; the sauna and cryo helped too. Been such a positive addition to my health and wellbeing. Definitely recommend for anyone; I was a complete novice when I joined.

Fantastic experience: The HENCH community is a welcoming network of hard working individuals who want to get the most out of their session and connect with those around them. The coaching team are genuine, knowledgeable and supportive.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending HENCH for the last 5 months and joined with the aim of getting stronger and hopefully loosing a bit of weight. I had never really lifted weights prior to this and was unsure if this would be the place for me having flirted with commercial gyms for years and never finding the right thing that was sustainable. From day 1 the level of coaching has been phenomenal. Every single one of the team are super professional in what they do and they improve you every single day. The environment in Hench is probably the best thing about it. Every member is there for their own reason, and from my first session I have felt welcome every single day. The results and progression I have seen from a personal point of view far exceed what I hoped for. There has never been a day that I have not looked forward to coming in to do a session in Hench. I couldn’t imagine a better place to train

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Hench for almost two years now and I don’t think you’ll find a better place to train in belfast! The coaches are passionate and knowledgeable and everyone who trains there is dead on. This is coming from someone with very little previous experience In strength and conditioning and I’ve been improving steadily since I joined.

Fantastic experience: As a member of hench you're guaranteed a great level of expertise advice and support in each session that I've never experienced before in any other gym, You'll always be welcomed with a smile and conversation which really lends to the great community feel that hench has.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, friendly and welcoming environment

Fantastic experience: I’m now into my 6th month training at HENCH (time flies!), having joined through the beginners programme in February. While not a complete novice to training, my hope was to find a gym that would allow me to gain better movement, technique and overall strength. My experience at HENCH has been excellent. Knowledgeable, down to earth trainers, top quality facilities, and genuine encouragement from a super group of fellow gym members. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I joined recently as part of the beginners strength program and it has been nothing short of amazing. The coaches are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Everyone is welcoming and there are no egos thrown around no matter what level you are at. It’s a place where I always look forward to going to the next session.

Fantastic experience: Started on the beginners course a few weeks back and have not looked back since... top class training from knowledgable and more importantly really sound guys! Great atmosphere about the place and really positive vibes. I’ve been going through a rough time the last few years and HENCH has really made such a difference both physically and mentally. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: The gym itself is extremely impressive, the coaches are so knowledgeable and professional and make you feel comfortable! The amount of time, effort and expertise that is given from the coaches is something i havent experienced anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches ! I'd been out of training for quite some time and was dreading going back. The guys are very supportive and encouraging . Couldn't recommend highly enough:)

Fantastic experience: I joined HENCH last year to prolong my sporting career. At 35 I was about to start a new season with my local team where the average age is 22. I’ve always been a member of gyms around Belfast and would have considered myself to be fairly knowledgeable in relation to weights training. However, when I joined HENCH, what I got was an education. An education I wish I had 15 years ago. There is a great atmosphere around the place, unlike any other gym I have attended, it actually feels more like a club or team. Subsequently with my team we have had are most successful season ever, reaching an all Ireland final of which I’ve been able to contribute thanks to the team at Hench for their coaching and expertise.

Fantastic experience: We are using Hench Gym Belfast for Strength and Conditioning for St. Mary’s 06s. Superb facilities and unbelievable coaches. Thanks to Rory, Ciaran, Gavin, James and the entire team! Couldn’t recommend it highly enough! Knowledgable, approachable and friendly coaches. #strongclub

Fantastic experience: Great gym, knowledgeable staff helped me improve my form, small classes so large amount of one on one feedback. Emphasis on getting stronger through a range of lifts and high intensity sessions. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I was initially apprehensive about going to a gym like this because I assumed it'd be focused on how much weight you can lift with high disregard towards form, and, boy, was I wrong. The trainers all take extreme care into ensuring that each individual has correct form for each type of lift before really doing any sort of heavy lifting which I've never had before. I have had a bad knee from a previous injury and subsequent surgery which has never really improved and impacted my ability to do certain exercises, but after working with Gavin and continually working with the other PTs, I haven't actually had any knee issues at all since I've started going. The small-sized group training sessions mean that you can get to know the people in the gym, and everyone is unbelievably friendly and welcoming. As someone who moved to Belfast a few months ago and knew absolutely no one, this has been huge in helping settle into a new city and meet people. Ultimately, my improvement in both strength and shape in just the few months I've been going there, on top of the open and friendly atmosphere, has been fantastic. Couldn't choose a better gym to go to in Belfast!

Fantastic experience: The passion, commitment and knowledge of the guys in Hench is incredible. They have helped me to obtain consistent personal bests in training for the 2019 Triathlon season. Gavin's constant fine tuning of our training sessions, has had huge effects on my physical output and recovery. Strong is Happy; these guys know their stuff and are gentlemen to boot.

Fantastic experience: I had been training by myself for a few years & felt things had plateaued, i was getting a bit bored with my commercial gym so decided I would give the Hench free taster session a try. It was exactly what i needed, i signed up & with the coaches help, I set some new personal goals. I joined their small group classes & 2.5 years later I am still making progress, still loving it & still learning all the time. They run excellent programs designed to get the most out of your workout and most importantly you learn how to do things right. The equipment is great, the coaches are sound & are dedicated to movement quality & precision. This is the best gym in town, go check them out.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in Belfast and one of the best in the UK. I've trained in the all the hyped up gyms in London that the celebs go to like Barry's bootcamp or Psycle or BXR. I can tell you this place is 10x better. They care about what they do and they're extremely knowledgeable. These other gyms just have good PR and they're amount bums on seats. Hench is different. Their focus is on specific elements of strength and conditioning. You get what you pay for. If you wanna pay 30 quid a month this isn't for you, go to pure gym and walk on a treadmill for half an hour. If you want real results and people who have done more than a 2 week gym instructors course then I would highly recommend Hench. The classes are basically semi-personal training and of course 1:1 If you want to work on something specific. And...Don't be afraid it's not muscle heads, cool bunch of people and mixed men and women. All abilities and ages. This isn't a promo post either, I only trained there for a few months before moving back to London from Beflast. 1 downfall...get a new shower in the men's, not up to scratch.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Belfast by far . Awesome atmosphere in every session, knowledgeable couches,always will help you if you have any questions.If you are serious about strength training then Hench is the best choice by far.

Fantastic experience: As a member of Hench you’ll get a level of expertise, advise and support that traditional commercial gyms can’t offer. As well as that you’ll get access to welcoming, challenging and fun sessions, the benefit of you’ll feel immediately. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

Fantastic experience: A great gym with very knowledgeable and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: I love this place. And I hated gyms and all things gym-related before joining Hench. Not only is the quality of their training and facilities second to none, the coaches are pretty special too. Their passion and knowledge is really impressive and they are completely focused on teaching you the right technique, discipline and attitude, so you can push yourself in the right way. They are always on hand to give advice and help you achieve your goals, whether you are a professional athlete, a regular gym-goer, or a gym newbie. So even though Hench delivers its programme largely through small group sessions, what you actually get is tailored training from very experienced coaches, every time you go. Plus there is no time for posturing or egos in Hench… which is important, especially if you’re a woman. Just a lovely bunch of people looking out for each other, working hard and having a bit of fun in the process. Like I said at the start, I love this place and can’t see a time when I would stop coming to Hench.

Fantastic experience: A great place to train if you are looking to build real world strength. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and there is a good atmosphere within the training classes.

Fantastic experience: Hench is a great gym with a great atmosphere and ethos! Having been to many gyms throughout Belfast, I can say that the staff here have superior knowledge and experience, and most importantly they make everyone feel welcome. They have a fantastic range of equipment and the small group training set up works wonders for your training and advancing your goals in a fun and supportive environment. I would recommend to everyone thinking of siging up to a new gym in the new year... Give Hench a go!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with really knowledgeable and passionate staff. A community of likeminded people, all looking to better themeselves in one way or another. Equally suitable to both the beginner and advanced trainer. Without doubt the best decision I have taken in respect of my health and well-being has been joining Hench. I cannot recommend the place enough.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and great coaching from very knowledgeable staff! I have tried many gyms across Belfast and can honestly say that Hench is superior in comparison. Group training with great people has kept me motivated not to mention the coaches are always keeping track of your progress. Groups are small and cater for people at all levels. I enjoy the extras too such as the infrared sauna and Cryotherapy! Coaches can also work out nutrition plans to help improve your overall fitness and wellbeing! Another plus - No posers at this gym...would recommend Hench to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, been there almost a year. They change up the program and test every 12 weeks. Great vibe with the coaches and other clients.

Fantastic experience: Love this place, the facilities are fantastic but it's the attention to detail from the coaches and holistic approach to training that makes this place world class.

Fantastic experience: Unparalled coaching provided at Hench, I have trained in lots of different gyms and with different coaches and have never made as much progress, or enjoyed my training, as much as I have at Hench. The coaches have exceptional knowledge and you get the perfect balance of training in a group environment while receiving individualised advice and careful monitoring of your own individual progress. Added bonus is that everyone who goes is really sound! It's a really positive atmosphere, cant recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: HENCH is an exceptional place to spend time. Whether you’re a complete novice or a high performing athlete, the time and dedication given to each member means that you’ll never feel that you’re just a number when you’re there. Whatever your strength or fitness goals are the attention to detail of the coaches means that you will invariably make progress. Will always recommend.

Fantastic experience: My decision to start training at Hench has been one of the best investments I have made in the past 12 months. I have never been a gym bunny and was quite inhibited by previous experiences at other gyms where classes seemed designed to leave you in heap vowing never to go back, the operation of equipment was often a guessing game and, being female, the weights room felt like a no-go zone. The holistic ethos of the Hench coaches means that they are keen to learn the needs and reasons for each member attending. They are very aware that there is so much more to be derived from a single session than just physical or aesthetic gains. Apart from improvement in fitness, I needed something outside of my studies to help with my mental well being and when I explained this to the coaches, I was impressed at how well informed they were on the links between strength training and mental health. The structure of sessions allows me to concentrate on my own goals in a supervised environment, whilst the group dynamic makes me work my hardest and encourages me to keep coming back. I would highly recommend Hench.

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym around - HENCH cuts away the BS that you see in "normal" gyms. No massive egos, no posers spending more time in the mirror than doing work - Just a tight knit coaching team with a wealth of knowledge, delivering leading edge strength and conditioning workouts. With state of the art facilities and an honest and intelligent approach to their members, HENCH is a breath of fresh air for any gym-goer

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to quite a few gyms, but Hench is in a different class. The coaching is of an extremely high standard with a good attention to technique and form. There is great variation in the programming and I have been able to make excellent progress in a short space of time. I would recommend this gym to anyone, even to a complete beginner.

Fantastic experience: This gym is brilliantly run and the sessions will improve your strength and flexibility. The trainers are excellent and the environment is positive and enjoyable. A great experience

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with excellent instructors and a great atmosphere. I joined with very little lifting experience, but knew that I wanted to learn how to bench, squat and deadlift properly and safely. The small group personal training was exactly what I was looking for: friendly, challenging, supportive, social and with expert supervision and advice the whole way. Can't recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Just finished my 2 week foundation program and my first group strength session. Cannot speak more highly of the staff and their philosophy. The group session was unique for me, really enjoyed it and I'm just delighted to have finally found somewhere that is so much more than another commercial gym.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great coaches and a great atmosphere. What ever your goals are these guys will get you there. Rory and Ciaran have exposed me to elite training techniques and helped me win my first powerlifting meet. This gym has a social club environment that you won't find in a franchise gym. It will keep you coming back after January!

Fantastic experience: Top notch no nonsense Strength coaching and Wellbeing gym. Top of the line equipment and a great atmosphere to boot!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I've ever joined, complete with the best equipment (for strength training) and trainers. Rory has created a fantastic, supportive community for people who are motivated to get stronger together (healthy dose of friendly competition included). Truly my favorite part of my month-long holiday in Belfast! I miss the small group exercise classes dearly.

Fantastic experience: Hench offers such a great environment to train and learn in! If you want to make some real changes then this is the place - can't speak highly enough of the coaches and the philosophy behind Hench.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. It's somewhere I can find my peace, and always feel welcome. It's strong community atmosphere enhances a perfectly equipped gym. The lack of mirrors, and goal focused boards helps to realign the usual 'weightloss' thought process. This reinforces the gym's ethos with the pursuit of strength firmly at the heart of everything they do. The coaches are hardworking, meticulous (especially with form) and very approachable.
