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 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.

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!

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!
Based beside St. Georges Market in the centre of Belfast, HENCH is the first and only gym in Belfast 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.
