I have been a member of Hybrid fitness for 6months now. I absolutely love this gym. The coaches are all amazing and dedicated to help you achieve your own goals. Every single coach in Hybrid are passionate and supportive for each client no matter your level of fitness or training. I never thought I could lift weights until I joined this gym! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a dedicated coach and enjoys small coaching sessions! The social events are fun too 😊

Best Gym Ever. Been a member of Hybrid for 4 years and looking forward to the next 4. The team of trainers have been amazing, helping me with injuries, mobility, strength, nutrition, goal setting and mindset. Have trained in several other gyms over many years and none come close to the support and care I get from Hybrid. Have been able to get in the best shape of my life both physically and mentally.

Hybrid Fitness is one of the most knowledgeable gyms I've ever been to. The coaches educate PTs across all of Ireland through their academy so they know what their are talking about when it comes to training. Would highly recommend it to any newbies who are looking to start their fitness journey and experienced trainers looking for a change.

Been a member at hybrid a few years back and recently returned this March. For me it’s honestly the best gym on the road. The coaches there go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. The community in the gym is unreal and everyone there supports each other while having fun along the way. Highly recommend everyone to join the hyfam ❤️

Anyone who knows me knows I'm the least likely person to enjoy the gym...until I went to hybrid. The coaches are excellent and any anxiety I had before about the gym, is totally gone. The coaches and clients are like a family, and I genuinely am happy to go through them doors and get the work done!

I have been training at hybrid on and off for about 10years maybe more! So what makes hybrid different from all the other gyms?? Its a family. Support when you need it. Knowledge from the absolute best. Group training or pt sessions. They train the new wave of coaches through elite fitness. Why go anywhere else….

I joined Hybrid in April of this year and have loved it from day one. The level of support that I have received from the coaches, in particular my accountability coach Roisin, is incredible. They are constantly there to help with adjusting goals as you go and helping you get the best out of your training no matter what stage you are at. They have helped improve my lifestyle as a whole by encouraging me to implement healthier habits outside of the gym and not solely focusing on the training. Also the vibe of the gym is better than I've experienced anywhere else. The sessions are genuinely so much craic that commiting to 3 sessions a week is a joy. Can't say enough about this gym really! Just love what they are doing and love the people in it.

I never thought I would ever enjoy attending a gym but I am absolutely loving Hybrid Fitness. The coaches are so dedicated and the small coaching sessions mean you're getting attention, support and guidance consistently...I actually look forward to attending my sessions ☺️

Joined for the “Lean for Halloween” programme and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. So much so that u stayed on for the “Christmas Shred” and I’ll be staying on for the foreseeable. The support has been constant and genuine. I have lost weight and noticed massive changes in my body shape. The gym isn’t full of posers, just people trying to get in better shape and support one another on their journey. If you do one thing, join this gym.

I joined to Hybrid Fitness Family 3 weeks ago and it was best decision ever! Great atmosphere, a lot of motivation and very positive people. Highly recommended.

You might be like me in that during the pandemic you decided to take it easy and give yourself a break. However, I took it too easy, became quite lazy and decided that I needed to make a change. I filled out a form online for ECA expecting to be contacted perhaps in a few days. I had barely pressed enter when one of the founders, Patrick Black (PJ), rang me. We talked for around half an hour about what has held me back in the past, my goals and potential plans etc. I settled on group classes. At the end of that, he convinced me to show up with about an hour’s notice to ECA where we talked more before my first session. I have been to many gyms before, but I knew straight away that there was something different about this gym. I heard laughter, saw warm smiles, and felt very comfortable there immediately. This is not a normal gym by a LONG stretch. I believe that your environment can massively increase the likelihood of good or bad decisions. This is where ECA really excels. Patrick Black and Michael Lennon have created a fantastic environment not just in the gym but outside the gym. Whether it is having a PT to keep accountable to in person or digitally, tracking calories that can be monitored, support in the Facebook page/WhatsApp, encouraging videos when you have achieved certain goals, meal plans, workout plans, a supportive family feel, challenges, posting pictures of your meals etc it all contributes to creating an environment that supports healthy choices in all parts of your life. Also, having been here for almost three months now I know the names of every single personal trainer in the gym as well as many of the people I train with (these change from time to time) which makes a welcome change. I believe the trainers genuinely seem to care about you, are incredibly knowledgeable and are fantastic teachers not just in increasing your strength and cardio but in producing quality and versatile movement. Some people wait a lifetime hoping for their lives to change. Don’t wait, join ECA today!

Have only recently joined ECA and been blown away by the experience so far. An extremely friendly environment with extremely knowledgeable coaches. The classes them selves are challenging but really enjoyable! Would strongly recommend to anyone to come down and experience it for themselves!

I have been part of ECA gym for the last 3 months and it has transformed me. It has not only made me feel alot fitter and stronger, but it has made me feel alot more confident!! ECA is like a family!! They host events every few weeks which helps bring everyone together and feel closer. I would highly recommend!!

K. M.

Brilliant Gym, they really focus on a friendly and personal environment so newcomers don't feel out of place. They take the time to get to know everyone and make sure that each person is focusing on the goals that matter to them and doing the things they need to in order to achieve them. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Ive been a member of hybird for the last six months and have had nothing but a great experience here. Every single coach at hybird are amazing at what they do and best of all they all have such great banter and craic. The vibes in the gym are always brillaint. I cant recommend hybird enough:) what a fam to be apart off!

M. M.

Best gym I've been to, every coach puts their all into training sessions. Anyone I know attending has had amazing results and it's down to the dedication of coaches. Every training session is different and everyone is so friendly. Would reccommend this gym to anyone, it is top class.

R. M.

I love this gym! Hybrid is not just a normal gym, it is built with knowledgeable coaches who are always happy to help you, teach you and guide you towards your goals. I joined this year in January, despite lockdown I am over 8kg down and I am feeling so much stronger! Hybrid helped get me through lockdown, they helped me reach my first weight goal, then the second and I am now on my way to the third. They have provided me with the tools to off and succeed on my own, but I am not leaving any time soon. Hybrid is a community, a tribe!

*Update* Still here 5 months later, still loving it. Forgot to mention in first review but they also do additional monthly activities for members from Climbing slieve Donard, to Hot Yoga to Summer BBQ. *Original review* Been here for a little over a month and highly recommend it regardless of fitness level. The instructors here will take care of you and help you achieve your goals whatever they are

F. M.

A fantastic gym to train in with great coaches who are interested in their members' progress and achievements. Individual circumstances are taken into account and the emphasis is on training safely and well. Each member is assigned their own 'accountability coach' so that goals can be individualised and nothing is generic. Whether you're looking to get fitter, stronger, lose weight or gain weight this is the gym that can help you achieve your goals.

A. G.

Hybrid its the best gym about I joined hybrid over a year ago for my mental health as I was struggling with it. Since I joined hybrid my state of mind has been unbelievable. The atmosphere is unbelievable its like a big. Family also the accountability is second to none anyone struggling with mental health or just want a friendly atmosphere to train this is the gym to join

From the first minute i sat foot in Hybird Fitness i knew straight away it was the right and best decision i had made. I suffered bad anxiety about going to the gym and i believed i couldn't do anything and everyone would be looking at me. I thought i would be a burden on the coaches but i couldn't of been more wrong. I have been to other different gyms over the years and done courses etc. but i have never felt as comfortable, happy and as welcomed as i have in Hybrid Fitnes by all staff and members. In the time i have been there as a member my confidence has grown, my mobility and most importantly my smile. Every coach and member is there for eachother. Honestly never met nicer people who just want the best for everyone and will do everything they can to help you achieve your goals. Highly recommend 💪

I have been training in hybrid for 21 months now. Best gym I have been to, and I've been to quite a few!!! In those 21 months I've gained strength i never knew I had and confidence, and it has been all down to the coaching and advice you get. My main struggle has been nutrition and still is, but thanks to my accountability coach Stephen Clarke he is kicking me into shape. From being there 24/7, to advice and guidance and most of all belief, I am getting there 😀. Every coach is just like Stephen in hybrid, you have their full attention from you put your first step through the doors of hybrid. Their professionalism is second to none. Don't give joining a gym a second thought. Hit these guys up with a DM, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. I personally haven't looked back 😍 #teamhybrid

Great gym - great workouts - great atmosphere! Highly recommend Hybrid Fitness. It’s not like any gym Ive joined in the past - I never found a place or exercise regime that worked for me. Infact I hated most types of exercise but Hybrid was recommended by a friend so I tried it out and haven’t looked back. 4 months in and this is the longest I e committed to any exercise programme ever - think it’s the energy and family ethos combined with tough, focussed workouts and expert staff that’s made the difference. I’m loving it. Give it a try definitely :)

An amazing gym and one hell of a team!! I joined Hybrid gym around 3 months ago and so far it's an absolutely brilliant gym and personally I have had great results!! The gym is great, spacious great equipment but most of all the amazing team.I would go as far as saying it feels like a big family. For many years I have tried numerous gyms, PT sessions, fitness classes and never enjoyed going to the gym with very little success in weightloss. Now I am excited to go to the gym every week and pushing myself more than I have thought I would have. If it wasn't for my accountability coach Roisin I would have been lost. Her guidance along the way, ensuring my nutrition was on point and my posture/form doing workouts etc. This gym helps you understand your body and with the great help from the team and PTs; success is possible. With 18 inches down and over a stone lost I am buzzing and ready to lose more and push myself. Not only in my physical health has this gym helped but it has also helped me mentally making me look at life in a total different way . so if you are thinking of joining or looking to join a great gym, hybrid is the place to be! #hybridfamily

I love that this gym has no mirrors but no corners to hide in either and there's no need. It is genuinely the least intimidating gym you could enter and you will learn and improve constantly. The team are welcoming, passionate and informative but without getting on their high horse. They are fully committed to helping you make progress within every session you attend and all the members who attend encourage each other too as it has a community / family vibe. Workouts are tough but the coaches guide you through the sessions and their support service and commitment to you continues outside of the gym session too. Can't recommend it enough!

TLDR : The only thing to say about Hybrid is just join, you won't regret it! This is a review though so I'll give you more than that. I came back to Hybrid a year ago October past. (Leaving to go on my fitness journey alone was the worst thing I had done in terms of progression) At the time I came in with an ongoing knee injury I had for a couple of years and was worried about how training would impact it. The muscle had atrophied and it was pretty weak. With the care and expertise that every member of staff brings I wasn't long on my way to building my knee back up again and getting fitter. If there are any exercises or movements that are painful/ awkward there is always an alternative or regression that the knowelegable coaches can give you. During lockdown they continued to make sure we all remained fit and healthy putting on zoom classes everyday and having 121s with your coach. Over a year on I am fitter, stronger, leaner, more confident, have made new friends and am part of a family not a gym! I just want to congratulate each and every staff member (Stevie, PJ, Megan, Roisin, Andrew, John) for the amazing gym you have all created with your dedication, hard work and well for just being the amazing human beings/ inspirations you all are. Finally: My suggestion to anyone out there reading this is, if you invest in yourself by joining Hybrid your future self will thank you! And to anyone who is worried about how you look in a gym dont be. You will never go to a gym where people are more accepting and who don't judge anyone. This I know as when I had my lapse in sense I tried 4 of them in Belfast! Hopefully see you there! You will surprise yourself when you see what you are capable of!

The friendliest Coaches and clients and the least intimidating atmosphere; we actually have a bit of craic while working out! The Coaches have a wealth of knowledge and experience and their passion for the job and commitment to clients is clear to see. They push us in our sessions when they know we can handle a heavier weight or more reps but equally will offer a regression if needed. The sessions are tough but not torturous which is why I keep going back haha. Further to the gym sessions, they also offer support and run various workshops (kettlebell, barbell, nutrition, mobility etc.) which have been so beneficial to equip clients with the knowledge to improve on those key areas. I have lost weight and inches which is my main goal but more than that I feel more energized and just better all round.

I cannot recommend Hybrid Fitness enough. Without any hint of exaggeration, my time at Hybrid has changed my life. It is an incredibly friendly and welcoming place and for someone who had never really been to a gym before I found fitting in and finding a rhythm effortless. The craic and buzz during the sessions keeps you coming back, even on the tough days. I’ve always left feeling better than when I went in. As someone who always struggled with their weight and having gone it alone several years ago I managed to lose two stone. This was done by eating a very low calorie diet and running myself into the ground. Inevitably I fell off the diet and put all the weight (and more) back on again. A year or so ago tried it again but this time I knew I needed help. Since my time joining Hybrid I have lost five and half stone and I am in the best physical and mental condition of my life. This has been due to the fantastic help of all the coaches and members, always providing words of encouragement, support and most importantly accountability. To the coaches PJ, Lenny, Andrew, Stevo, Megan and Róisín, and to all the members, thank you. This is no ordinary gym.

What a great gym. Great atmosphere and everyone working towards their goals with the support of other trainers and the coaches. Classes are top class and support also first class. I joined a year ago and its now a way of life, training at least 4 or 5 times a week and eating habits improved immeasurably since I joined. Very happy with the results so far. 5 stars!

Great gym. Been here for over 4 years and have no plans to leave anytime soon. Have seen massive gainz in strength since I joined.

S. M.

Hybrid gym was the first gym I was ever at and I don't think I could go to another.The coaches are first class.They understand everyone is different and they can adopt to find you another way to do gym work.I was way over weight they sorted me with a diet plan and the gym classes are really good I have dropped a considerable amount of weight,but you also have to be consistent in going and pushing yourself.Would really recommend this gym to anyone.

L. J.

Never thought a gym would become my home away from home but this one has become a second family. The most attentive coaches you could ever wish for who are on you when needed and back off when needed too. Met some of my best friends from this gym and couldn’t think of going anywhere else. Service is second to none.

C. M.

Hybrid is a fantastic place to train. It is more than a gym...it is a community of people who want to support and get you to where you want to be. The knowledge and advice that you receive on a one to one basis is unbelievable and I am so happy I have been a member since Feb. Best thing I have ever invested in! If Carlsberg did gyms....hahaha! Definitely check it out...you wont regret it

L. K.

This is the best gym in Belfast by far!!!! Excellent coaches! Fabulous motivational community all working together to reach our goals of being 1% better each day. Getting fitted, getting stronger together!!! Coaches have a wealth of knowledge and experience! Ask yourself why you are not a part of this????

K. M.

The team at Hybrid are second to none. Coaches are knowledgeable, helpful and really encouraging. Going in you are always welcomed with a smile and you leave feeling unreal every time. I would recommend Hybrid to anyone. Proud to be part of the Hyfam!

E. C.

Simply the best! Better than all the rest! Professionalism of Coaches second to none!, atmosphere fantastic, most friendly bunch ever! Cimmunity atmosphere. I highly recommend.

P. M.

Great place to train - really motivating and knowledgeable coaches and a great atmosphere. Update 2021: Here three and half years now, and I've achieved some amount of goals over that time. Still loving it. Great support through lockdowns too.

C. M.

Hybrid is more than a gym. It’s a community of people all working together to help achieve individual and collective goals. Anyone starting their fitness journey or looking for a new challenge, get down to Hybrid today. You won’t regret it.

D. M.

Hybrid is more than just a gym, it is a support network for people who have an interest in fitness and general wellbeing.. #Hyfam #morethanjustagym

D. C.

Great gym - coaches are always mixing things up, know their stuff and will give you the time of day to work with any injuries you may be carrying, struggles you have. day to day WODs are killer (but scaleable) and the programme method is mixed up enough to keep it intresting. Great family feeling atmosphere.

P. f.

One of the best places I've ever trained in. Its not a place where you are told do this exercise and that, I was taught about how to do them properly, every movement in my training was broke down so I could understand it and give it 100% so it would work properly. Its also a place where I built amazing friendship and got through some of the most difficult times in my life.
