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.

Started at Hench recently, on the 8 week strength programme for beginners. Cool, genuine bunch of people, that are incredibly supportive, know their stuff and are more than willing to help guide you in the right direction. The gym has a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, making it non-intimidating for people that are just starting, whilst offering a range of small group PT sessions that are suited to a varying range of capabilities/goals. As a beginner, I'm always learning something new, and each session is good fun - 100% :)

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

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!
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.
