Santino’s gym built in the shadows, now it’s time to standout!
Nearly 3 years of ownership and we’ve gone from strength to strength.
2026 was all about growth and that’s exactly what we’ve done, welcomed a huge amount of new members, bought more incredible equipment in to the gym and we’ll be making even more improvements.
Big thank you to Darrell Soapspray wynne for the new sign, it’s awesome.
Huge thank you to all our members and people who come to visit for the continued support 🙏🏽
Let’s go!! 💪🏽

Member announcement 📣
Starting in August we shall be carrying out some general maintenance on the gym floor and some pretty big upgrades to our changing rooms and toilets.
This will include tackling some areas of damp that we have throughout the gym and a spot of painting.
The toilets and changing rooms will be painted and vinyl flooring fitted, new mirrors and the lockers repaired.
I’m sure I’ve missed a few things as theres loads being done.
All work will be carried out whilst we remain open so there might be a small about of disruption, sorry in advance.

Just because we’re old school doesn’t mean our machines don’t work!
We have an incredible selection of old school machines, with some dating back to the late ’70s.
We always aim to keep every machine well maintained, serviced, and in full working order.
If one of our machines does break or needs replacement parts, we always do our best to have it repaired within a couple of days.
The challenge with some of these older machines is that parts are no longer available. When that happens, we have to have them custom made. More often than not, the new parts are even stronger and better than the originals, helping to keep these classic machines going for years to come.
If one of our machines doesn’t feel quite right or starts making an unusual noise, please let us know and we’ll get it sorted as quickly as possible.
…This excludes the big cable station though. That thing seems to make a new noise every week! 🤣
