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. Coaches are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to each member. Good atmosphere with like minded people. More expensive than other gyms but you certainly get what you pay for at HENCH👌. Gym is suitable for all people no matter what stage they're at on their 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.

If you’re looking to change your life, this is the place for you! I joined Hench nearly two years ago. At the time I was desperate for change and knew I needed support, structure and to be educated on how to train properly. I got into the best shape of my life through the encouragement & expertise of the incredible coaches, an amazing safe environment and built such a strong fitness foundation in myself. From there, I got married & got pregnant and I’m still training right up to being 39 weeks pregnant. I wouldn’t be here without my journey at Hench and I know I’ll be stronger for life because of them! Cant wait to see what life will be like for me post baby! I honestly would recommend Hench to everyone that wants to take training seriously, become your best self and achieve goals over a long sustainable period of time!
