Our mission is you 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, personal training 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 personal training 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’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.

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.

A completely unique gym, there is no-where in Belfast like it. Besides the excellent equipment, knowledgeable coaches and friendly environment, this gym focuses on the progress of every individual. Small classes ensure a high level of individual attention and coaching. The coaches have created a safe, friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. I cannot recommend this gym highly enough.
Located beside Belfast’s iconic St. George’s Market in the city centre, HENCH is the first and only gym in Belfast city 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.
