Belfast's Strength Quarter
Since 2012 we've helped 5000+ people like you build a stronger, healthier lifestyle that transforms every aspect of your daily life.
Why HENCH?Truly Personal Coaching
Our methods are not about achieving a universal standard of strength or some preconceived aesthetic ideal, but about becoming the strongest version of you.
Intro ProgrammeYour goals. Your journey.
We start with you. Our mission is to help you look, feel, and live stronger – with the confidence, resilience, and determination to take on anything life throws your way.
Personalised Programming
We start with you, determining where you are now and agreeing where you’d like to go. From there, our coaches will create a tailored program that adapts to your progress, setting you up for both short-term success and long-term growth. Since 2012 we've helped 5000+ people like you take the guesswork out of strength training.
Personal Training
With small-group strength training (SGST), our world-class coaching team will guide you one-on-one through every part of your program each week, ensuring you make consistent progress and achieve lasting results. We'll set realistic expectations of progress over different time frames and tailor our approach to meet your evolving needs and aspirations.
Progress Analysis
We use accurate, non-invasive medical-grade body composition technology to measure progress with your body and with training performance. Depending on your programme, your coach will communicate with you daily, check-in with you weekly and conduct regular face-to-face reviews.
Flexible Scheduling
Train at a time that suits your schedule. We have 80+ dedicated timetabled slots each week, on weekdays (6am to 8pm) and Saturdays (8am to 1pm), which you can book using a dedicated app. If something comes up last minute, you can cancel or move your session with ease.
Reserved Equipment
Get the most out of each session. You'll have access to all your own equipment, so no queues or none of the waiting times faced when sharing with someone.
Nutrition Advice
Learn how to fuel your body for optimal performance without restrictive diets. Get results without feeling confused and overwhelmed. Applies to the PRO programme only.
Here's what our members have to say
Watch more member stories"I learned more in a matter of weeks, than in 10 year of training on my own"
"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 I've made more progress in the first 6 months being here than I did in the last 6 years."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"I've gotten more out of Hench and I have in the previous 10 years of going to gyms"
"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"
"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"
"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 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"
“What surprised me the most was the amount of progress you can make - in such a short time”
"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"

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.

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.

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 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!
