Why HENCH?Truly Personal Coaching
Our methods are not about achieving a universal standard of strength or some preconceived aesthetic ideal, but about becoming the strongest version of you.
Intro ProgrammeYour goals. Your journey.
We start with you. Our mission is to help you look, feel, and live stronger – with the confidence, resilience, and determination to take on anything life throws your way.
Personalised Programming
We start with you, determining where you are now and agreeing where you’d like to go. From there, our coaches will create a tailored program that adapts to your progress, setting you up for both short-term success and long-term growth. Since 2012 we've helped 5000+ people like you take the guesswork out of strength training.
Personal Training
With small-group strength training (SGST), our world-class coaching team will guide you one-on-one through every part of your program each week, ensuring you make consistent progress and achieve lasting results. We'll set realistic expectations of progress over different time frames and tailor our approach to meet your evolving needs and aspirations.
Progress Analysis
We use accurate, non-invasive medical-grade body composition technology to measure progress with your body and with training performance. Depending on your programme, your coach will communicate with you daily, check-in with you weekly and conduct regular face-to-face reviews.
Flexible Scheduling
Train at a time that suits your schedule. We have 80+ dedicated timetabled slots each week, on weekdays (6am to 8pm) and Saturdays (8am to 1pm), which you can book using a dedicated app. If something comes up last minute, you can cancel or move your session with ease.
Reserved Equipment
Get the most out of each session. You'll have access to all your own equipment, so no queues or none of the waiting times faced when sharing with someone.

"I've gotten more out of Hench and I have in the previous 10 years of going to gyms"
"There's so many things that I love about HENCH. It's quite hard to pinpoint just one. I'd have to say my favorite thing is the time commitment that they give you."

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!

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.

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.

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.
