Challenge Training Studios Is More Than Just a Gym
Being part of Challenge Training Studios means we do more than just provide a gym and classes. We work with local Community Groups, local schools, run menopause programmes, run charity events and work with young people to ensure they learn how to use a gym safely.
We are also a Train the Trainer centre approved by Active IQ.

Menopause
At Challenge Training Studios we are very passionate about working with women who are perimenopausal, menopausal or post-menopausal.
In January 2023, we partnered with the McDonald Centre to provide a 9 week Don't Sweat It Programme funded by Training For Women Network (TWN) & the Tampax Fund offering fitness, nutrition, personal well-being and personal development where many of the attendees also received an Active IQ certificate Level 1 in Fitness and Physical Activity. With some ladies progressing on to the Active IQ Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instruction and the Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training.
Challenge hope to be running another Don't Sweat It Programme with Reach Out NI Healthy Living Centre January 2024 funded by CLEAR.
