BECOME
STRONGER
FOR LIFE

I joined HENCH last year to prolong my sporting career. At 35 I was about to start a new season with my local team where the average age is 22. I’ve always been a member of gyms around Belfast and would have considered myself to be fairly knowledgeable in relation to weights training. However, when I joined HENCH, what I got was an education. An education I wish I had 15 years ago. There is a great atmosphere around the place, unlike any other gym I have attended, it actually feels more like a club or team. Subsequently with my team we have had are most successful season ever, reaching an all Ireland final of which I’ve been able to contribute thanks to the team at Hench for their coaching and expertise.

I love this place. And I hated gyms and all things gym-related before joining Hench. Not only is the quality of their training and facilities second to none, the coaches are pretty special too. Their passion and knowledge is really impressive and they are completely focused on teaching you the right technique, discipline and attitude, so you can push yourself in the right way. They are always on hand to give advice and help you achieve your goals, whether you are a professional athlete, a regular gym-goer, or a gym newbie. So even though Hench delivers its programme largely through small group sessions, what you actually get is tailored training from very experienced coaches, every time you go. Plus there is no time for posturing or egos in Hench… which is important, especially if you’re a woman. Just a lovely bunch of people looking out for each other, working hard and having a bit of fun in the process. Like I said at the start, I love this place and can’t see a time when I would stop coming to Hench.

I joined Hench around 6 months ago now and couldn’t recommend them more. I joined having done no strength training previously so was a little nervous but the coaching and support I’ve received has been amazing and has really changed my mindset in a positive way in relation to exercise. It’s been amazing to see the progress I’ve made which wouldn’t have been possible without the coaches. The timing of the coaching slots available gives me the flexibility to go whenever suits around work and other commitments, with the booking system meaning all the equipment I need for my session is available when I go. I’d highly recommend for anyone looking to give strength training a go!

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!
