Who we are

Level Up Fitness is an independent small group personal training gym at 23 Henry Place in North Belfast. The coach members name most is Michael. We are not part of a chain, and when you message us it is the coaches who reply.

Who it is for

People who want to get stronger, fitter and more confident and have not found a gym that felt like theirs. A lot of our members were beginners. Some were coming back after years away, or after an injury. Our members range from 14 to 73, and what they have in common is that nobody here is showing off.

How we work

Four steps, the same for everyone: a plan written for you, coached training in a small group, support between sessions, and accountability so your progress is tracked. It is simple on purpose. Most people do not need more information about fitness. They need someone to help them do it every week.

What members say

We hold a 5.0 rating from 67 reviews on Google. The same things come up again and again: the welcome, the lack of judgement, programmes that fit the person, and coaching that keeps people going on the days they would rather stay at home. One member even mentioned the fridge of cold water.

Where we are

23 Henry Place, Belfast, BT15 2AY. Henry Place is off Clifton Street, 0.2 miles from Carlisle Circus, where the Antrim Road and the Crumlin Road begin. The Mater Hospital is 0.3 miles away and CastleCourt in the city centre is 0.6 miles.

The coachesCoached by Michael

Michael is the coach members name in review after review: for writing programmes that fit, for knowing how far to push, and for noticing when someone needs a hand.

“Michael (the instructor) has the ability to keep you motivated even on your most non energetic days.”
Maura McGonigle, Google review
“Michael is very knowledgeable and approachable which makes it easy to ask questions and make progress in the gym.”
James Feenan, Google review
“The attention to form and technique, as well as regular check-ins from the coaches takes this gym to a high level.”

The name is not only about lifting more. It stands for how we run the place, and it hangs above the dumbbell rack where everyone can hold us to it.

    I would happily recommend Level Up to anyone who has felt hesitant, unsure, or put off joining a gym and is looking for a friendly, non-judgemental place to start.

  • Kelly MonGoogle review

    I had never done any PT sessions before and was afraid. From day 1 I loved it, really friendly atmosphere, no posers, everyone genuinely gives support and you get to know people

  • Jane OettingGoogle review
