"I do think I'm a better runner. I just hit a PB this weekend on the exact same race I did this time last year, so you can see the difference."
"The things I like best about HENCH is that coaching is really good. And it's made me think about exercise differently in terms of structuring it through my weight, giving myself rest days, allowing myself time to recover, eating well."
"My favorite thing about HENCH is the balance that it gives me. Before joining, I was looking for a place that I would be able to train and feel independent, have my own sense of autonomy"
"Within a short time, I hit my initial targets in terms of weight loss and muscle gain and can feel the benefits of the training sessions in every interaction outside the gym too."
"I've gotten more out of Hench and I have in the previous 10 years of going to gyms"
"I'm spending half the time in the gym as I did previously but making much better progress."
"I began to understand that if you dealt with people who knew what they were talking about, you got results very, very quickly and the wonderful thing about HENCH is that it allows you to constantly pursue new goals too"
"The sort of goals that I wanted to achieve felt like like a pipe dream eight months ago and I've managed just surpassed them"
"I've got a stronger back and it's more or less got rid of my chronic low back pain that's been an exception eye outcome"
"Unparalleled coaching provided at Hench, I have trained in lots of different gyms and with different coaches and have never made as much progress, or enjoyed my training, as much as I have at Hench."
"It's definitely the most progress I've made in such a short space of time"
"I think I've made more progress in the first 6 months being here than I did in the last 6 years."
"I learned more in a matter of weeks, than in 10 year of training on my own"

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 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!

Great gym with really knowledgeable and passionate staff. A community of likeminded people, all looking to better themeselves in one way or another. Equally suitable to both the beginner and advanced trainer. Without doubt the best decision I have taken in respect of my health and well-being has been joining Hench. I cannot recommend the place enough.

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.
