Empire Gym & Studios celebrates 10 Years: A Decade of Fitness and Community

A journey through time: From nightclub to fitness hub

Empire Gym & Studios has evolved over the years, The building originally opened as The Empire Hall and Roller Skating Rink in 1909, It was converted to the Empire Theatre in 1910. By 1914 it had become a cinema called Vint’s Picturedrome and later became a warehouse, Closed for industrial use in the 1970’s, it became Raffles Nightclub, with part of the building in use as Madison Snooker Club, and also Liberty’s, Millennium, Liquid & Envy, to its current status as a thriving fitness hub. The building has a history dating back to possibly the late 1800s and holds nostalgic memories for many.


Honouring a cherished member: Supporting Prostate Cancer Awareness

As part of the 10th-year celebrations, Empire Gym & Studios dedicates the week to raising awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer, honouring the memory of cherished member Colin Edwards, who passed away in 2023. Guests are encouraged to contribute a £2.50 entry fee, with all proceeds going towards this important cause.
