Our mission is to help you look and feel your best whilst becoming strong enough to tackle everything life throws at you with confidence, resilience and determination.
Our methods are about one thing: Your Journey. Not achieving a universal standard of strength or some preconceived aesthetic ideal, but about becoming the strongest version of you. We'll align your program, coaching and daily actions with your goals as you progress through your journey as a welcome part of a thriving community.
Our expert coaching team is dedicated to helping you achieve your unique strength and wellbeing goals through personalised programming and one-on-one coaching on and off the gym floor working with you to help build autonomy, learning to master the basics and train independently for decades to come. You'll build a stronger, healthier lifestyle that will affect every aspect of your life.
Since 2012 we've helped 5000+ people like you take the guesswork out of strength training. We'll set realistic expectations of progress over different time frames and tailor our approach to meet your evolving needs and aspirations. From your first visit you'll be made to feel welcome and comfortable in our private gym at the mouth of South Belfast and East Belfast, beside St. George's Market right in the heart of the city.

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 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.

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

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.
Located beside Belfast’s iconic St. George’s Market in the city centre, HENCH is the first and only gym in Belfast city gym to teach strength training in small groups with members following their own personal programme using reserved equipment for each session without queues, sharing or gym hassle.
