"I'm spending half the time in the gym as I did previously but making much better progress. I feel less fatigued during long and stressful work days, and better in general - happy that I can carve out space in my day to lift."
Read More"It kinda reminds me of Cheers. You know, like you know where everybody knows your name. I feel like I'm part of something in the community, and the coaches here are smiling at me and encouraging me and making me feel like I can accomplish whatever I wanted"
Read More"I've gotten more out of Hench and I have in the previous 10 years of going to gyms"
Read More"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."
Read More"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"
Read More"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."
"I think over the last nine months I've actually transformed completely physically, but mentally and to be strong is like really cool, especially as a woman."
"I was kind of hoping to learn more about the actual basics. And ever since I've kind of been a bit hooked. I've seen pretty good progression since I've joined."
"It's had a really positive impact on my work-life balance, I have more energy and I've never been stronger, and just really enjoy it here. It's just a great place to train."
Read More"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"
Read More"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"
Read More"I'm hitting PB'S in my 40's, that I couldn't even get close to in my 20's, as well as putting myself in the best position to be fit, healthy & strong for my family"
Read More"I think I've made more progress in the first 6 months being here than I did in the last 6 years."
Read More"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"
“What surprised me the most was the amount of progress you can make - in such a short time”
Read More"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."
Read More"I learned more in a matter of weeks, than in 10 year of training on my own"
Read More"I really really enjoy here. I just love coming here because it's fantastic facility the information and the knowledge of the guys have the equipment is second to none."

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

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.

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.
