What is HENCH?
A results-driven gym that tailors programmes to each individual. We specialise in transforming ordinary people into the strongest versions of themselves.
How much do memberships cost?
Costs vary based on your specific needs and experience - check out the pricing chart at the bottom of this page for more info. Book a quick chat so we can learn about you and recommend the right option.
Who are HENCH coaches?
Our coaches are highly experienced and hold bachelors and/or masters degrees in exercise science in addition to industry specific personal training qualifications. They undergo regular, rigorous training and development to stay up-to-date with the latest in strength training and coaching techniques.
HENCH coaches are experienced, qualified strength coaches and among the top 1% in their field (as well as being sound & down to earth), so you can be confident that your program will help you achieve your goals as efficiently as possible.
What is Small Group Strength Training (SGST)?
SGST is our approach to delivering one-on-one expertise within a small group setting—usually fewer than six members. You each follow an individual programme at your own station with reserved equipment, but train alongside others for added support, camaraderie, and fun.
How is HENCH different?
• Evidence-Based: We use proven, research-backed methods rather than guesswork or fads.
•Personalised: Your programme is built around your goals, fitness level, and schedule.
• Accountability: Dedicated coaching ensures you stay motivated, track progress, and celebrate each milestone.
•Community: A friendly, encouraging environment helps you form lasting habits—beyond just a single programme.
How often will I meet with my coach?
Most members meet with their coach 2–3 times per week during small group sessions and communicate daily via app or messaging for check-ins, progress tracking, and extra support.
How does my coach measure my progress?
We use medical-grade body composition technology to track changes in body fat and muscle mass. Strength progress is recorded in our training software. Your coach also checks in on energy levels, sleep quality, and mindset to form a complete picture of your health.
How customised is my training program?
We create each programme after a thorough assessment of your goals, current fitness, and any limitations. Exercises, weights, and volume are adapted to your abilities—then advanced as you improve, so you keep progressing without injury or plateaus.
What does the SFL66 membership include?
• 28 Coaching Sessions (up to 3 per week over 66 days)
• Reserved Equipment for each training slot
• Daily Coach Access for questions or motivation
• Behavioural Nutrition Support
• Progress Tracking with body composition and performance metrics
• Community Events to stay engaged and build friendships
Is HENCH okay for beginners?
Absolutely. Our programme is designed to help all fitness levels feel comfortable and see real progress—whether you’re new to exercise or returning after a long break.
Am I too old for HENCH?
Not at all. We have members ranging from their early 20s to well into their 70s—and they all see fantastic improvements. Our coaches tailor each programme to your unique needs and capabilities.
What if I travel frequently?
With 80+ weekly time slots and flexible rescheduling, you can fit training around your travel plans. If you’re away for an extended period, we provide bodyweight or hotel-gym alternatives to keep you progressing remotely.
When can I train?
We offer morning, midday, and evening slots throughout the week. You can pick sessions that suit your schedule in our booking system, which is updated in real time.
How do I book a session?
Once you join, you’ll receive access to our online scheduling platform. Simply select your preferred slots each week, and you’re all set—no hassle or waiting lists.
Is there a limit to the number of sessions I can attend?
Most members attend 2–3 small group sessions per week. Your coach may adjust this based on your specific goals or recovery needs.
Does your nutrition guidance accommodate specific diets?
Yes. Our coaches work within your dietary preferences—whether you’re vegetarian, gluten-free, or have other requirements. We focus on behavioural change that fits your lifestyle for long-term success.
How long does it take to see results?
Every individual is different, but most members notice a change within 4–6 weeks, provided they’re consistent with training and nutrition. Our data shows body composition improvements often start in the first month.
What if I have aches, pains or injuries?
Our coaches can adapt or swap exercises to accommodate injuries or discomfort. Your safety and comfort are paramount—we work closely with you to ensure you progress safely.
What's the HENCH community like?
Expect a supportive, uplifting atmosphere where everyone encourages each other. Whether you’re squatting for the first time or hitting a personal record, your fellow members (and coaches) celebrate every win.
Why is your minimum recommended commitment 66 days?
Research suggests it takes about 66 days to form a lasting habit. We’ve found that’s the sweet spot for seeing real gains, building confidence, and making exercise a part of your lifestyle.
Can I pop in before I join?
Absolutely. We welcome potential members to schedule a tour of the gym, meet the coaching team, and discuss goals face-to-face. No pressure—just a chance to experience HENCH first-hand.
What happens after my initial programme?
Most members continue with our membership options to advance their progress, explore new goals, and maintain the strong habits they’ve formed. We’ll tailor a follow-up plan that suits your evolving fitness journey.
Does HENCH offer a money-back guarantee?
Yes. If you commit fully to our recommended plan and still see no measurable progress, we’ll refund your investment. We stand by our methods and want you to succeed without risk.
How do I restart my HENCH membership?
For returning members, please email us at [email protected] to pick up where you left off.

I’ve been to quite a few gyms, but Hench is in a different class. The coaching is of an extremely high standard with a good attention to technique and form. There is great variation in the programming and I have been able to make excellent progress in a short space of time. I would recommend this gym to anyone, even to a complete beginner.

My experience at HENCH so far has been very positive. Training here strikes the right balance between personalised goals to work towards, while also feeling like part of a team. The staff are highly professional, friendly and approachable. Overall training here has been motivational and enjoyable, which I definitely plan to continue.

Excellent gym! Very practical model - you’re given a personalised program, attend scheduled times, and trainers talk you through each exercise, so you’re not doing the same thing as everyone else in the class. Quality of the coaching is superb, and I’ve really noticed great progress which I wouldn’t have done on my own.
