About Santino’s Gym

A Legacy of Strength Since 2016

Founded by Kim Santino, one of Derby’s original old-school bodybuilders, Santino’s Gym is built on heritage, grit, and the pursuit of true strength.

A Champion’s Gym

With a career that spanned national and international competitions, Kim Santino built more than a gym — he built a place where dedication meets tradition.

Old School, Always

Santino’s stood out from the crowd with cast iron plates and classic equipment — staying true to the roots of real bodybuilding as trends came and went.

Passing the Baton

In 2023, Kim passed the torch to a new generation. Will and his team took over with respect for tradition — and a vision for growth.

A New Era Begins – October 2023

Led by Will and his team, the gym received:

  • Fresh layout
  • Upgraded lighting & fresh paint
  • More hand-picked old school equipment
  • Same old-school spirit

Still Standing Strong

Today, Santino’s remains one of Derby’s last true old-school gyms — committed to tradition, real results, and a community built on strength.

What Our Members Say

What an awesome place to train. Having previously been a member at The Gym and JD, Santino's is a breath of fresh air! Good selection of free weights and bars, lots of machines, some old, some new, all chosen because they work well. Kim and julie are also very friendly and welcoming. Proper gym

Daniel Hall, 3 years ago

Out of all the bodybuilding gyms in Derby, not one can compete with the dedication and passion of the team behind Santino’s. The place is a haven for old school bodybuilding equipment, and new kit is added frequently. The owner genuinely cares about the experience for everyone. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Harry Pickard, 3 months ago

Amber and Will are great personal trainers. Will is a very nice guy and I trust him implicitly as my trainer. The gym has all the free weights and equipment you could want. It’s not overrun by kids or poseurs, and membership and PT costs are very reasonable. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Rab, 3 months ago

Great gym with a wide range of high-quality equipment. The gym is suitable for all gym goers, which I like. The owner, Will, is kind and lovely—couldn’t recommend it enough!

Jessica Kelly, 3 months ago

The new venue for Santino’s gym is mind-blowing. It's by far the best gym in Derby. Staff are amazing, members are helpful, and if you're serious about body and mental self-confidence—this is the place!

Jut Terry, 3 years ago (edited)

This place was previously owned by a bodybuilder but unfortunately sold and moved on. Maybe wasn’t getting the support needed from the “True bodybuilders” the recent negative review was talking about since Will as taken over, he as made it a space that everyone is welcome, everyone is heard and everyone is considered apart of the family.

Michael Fox, 3 months ago

An old building on two floors. Upstairs is a large beamed, wooden floor area for dancing or karate and downstairs is set up with all heavy and varied gym equipment. The place is well equiped but the make over of the inside leaves a lot to be desired and needs attention on decor to bring it into the 21st century. You can buy body building supplements at the main desk in the foyer

Amazing gym. Highly recommend to everyone!

Santinos is one of a kind. Many places say that they are like a family and fall flat of the statement. Santinos however certainly do have a family feel that makes you feel welcome the second you walk through the door. Owners Kim and Julie and the rest of the team are always happy to chat and offer friendly advice. Other gym users are both approachable and don't pry, they just get on with their workout. A step away from your average chain gym and a lovely environment to work out. The merch is also of good quality and reasonably priced.

Luke Bell, 3 years ago

In Derby for a couple weeks with work and found this little gem of a gym! Reasonably priced, not too busy and very clean! The gym staff are friendly and attentive, 100% recommend this place!

Chris Nicol, 2 years ago

Absolutely love this gym. I moved to Derby in early 2020, since training their Kim and Julie have become great friends and a great roll model too. Highly recommend this gym

Bruce Darcy, 3 years ago (edited)

Amazing place to train. Lots of support from staff and members alike. Equipment is in top notch condition. Really good value for money with the support you receive. I highly recommend for beginners and professionals.
