EMPIRE NEXT STEPS 👑

You may have noticed fridges, supplement cabinets and a few other things moving around reception recently…

There is a reason for it. 👀

We’re now preparing for the next phase of Empire - a complete transformation of our current reception into a space much more fitting of the gym Empire has become.

This image gives you a first look at where we’re heading (with a before image alongside it for anyone struggling to envisage where they’re actually looking at! 😂).

These are concept visuals rather than final designs, so some details and finishes may change as the project progresses.

THE RECEPTION TRANSFORMATION

The current open reception will be completely redesigned, including a new ceiling to create a more defined, purpose-built space.

The new reception desk will be repositioned against the studio wall, meaning when you enter Empire, reception and one of the team will be directly in front of you rather than tucked away to the side.

We also want reception to become much more than somewhere you simply scan in and walk through:

▪️ Bespoke reception & serving counter
▪️ Barista-style espresso coffee served by the team ☕️
▪️ Freshly blended protein shakes
▪️ New tables & seating creating a more usable social space
▪️ New flooring, lighting, finishes & signage throughout

The re-vamp won’t end there…

▪️ A dedicated Empire Supplements shop in the current reception office.

▪️ A revamp of the area outside the old toilets / posing room.

▪️ An entirely new member space through the double doors opposite, with further seating, 24-hour self-service coffee facilities and workspaces - somewhere to grab a coffee, get some work done or simply sit, snack and switch off.

More designs to follow…

Once work begins there will naturally be some temporary disruption to things like scanning in/out and studio access, but nothing major - we’ll explain any changes beforehand.

This is about making better use of the space we have and continuing to improve the whole Empire experience, not just the gym floor.

(Though rest assured, once this is complete, our attention will be straight back to the gym floor. 👀)

Let’s kick on… again. 👑💪🏼

AUGUST AT A GLANCE 📊

Were you one of Empire’s most frequent visitors in August? Swipe through to find out… 👀

Across August, ClubRight recorded 8,913 visits from 1,012 unique members - an average of 287.5 visits every day.

The average completed visit lasted 1 hour 15 minutes, while 91% of visitors were returning members and 94 people visited for the first time.

Monday was our busiest day of the week, with 1,714 visits across the month. The busiest weekday hour was 4pm, while weekends peaked at 9am.

Over in Empire Conditioning Club, 92 sessions were delivered across six activities, generating 585 bookings and 482 recorded attendances - an overall show-up rate of 82%.

EMOM 40 achieved a 100% show-up rate, while Athletics accounted for the largest share of sessions and bookings.

We’ve also included the members who recorded the most visits during August - some serious consistency in there. Well done to everyone who kept showing up. 👏

One important reminder: all of this data relies on members scanning IN and OUT on every visit.

Missing an exit scan affects visit-duration figures and our understanding of when the gym is busiest. Accurate scans help us plan, improve and make better decisions for the gym.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support.

Keep smashing it, and keep scanning in and out 👑

A few people have asked if there’s another option for scanning in and out, particularly for those who don’t like bringing their phone into the gym or sometimes struggle with signal.

So, we’ve got 300 ClubRight key tags on the way which you can simply keep on your keys and use to scan in and out.

They’ll be £1 each, and we’ll post again as soon as they’re available to pick up from reception.

If you’re perfectly happy scanning in and out with your phone, you absolutely don’t need one - it’s simply another option for anyone who’d find a key tag more convenient 👍🏼

Lost Property 🧥🔑

We have a few items of lost property left at the gym.

If you think you may have left something behind, please speak to a member of the team at reception and we’ll be happy to check for you.

Please note that any unclaimed items may be donated/disposed of after a reasonable period of time.

Thank you! 😊

NEW ARRIVAL 👑

Something a little different and another first for Empire.

The Gymleco Hip & Back Extension 🇸🇪

Our first piece from Swedish manufacturer Gymleco, and one we’re looking forward to getting on the floor.

Designed around the posterior chain, the 067 will give you another way to train the glutes, hamstrings and lower back, with a stable plate-loaded movement that can be adjusted to alter the emphasis depending on what you’re looking to target.

This will also be the first of a couple of additions we’re looking at to improve the glute training options currently available on the gym floor - adding a bit more variety where we feel it will make a genuine difference, alongside the wider upgrades happening throughout the gym.

And this one’s coming with a little bit of exclusivity…

🇸🇪🇬🇧 A UK FIRST.

The first Gymleco 067s are due to arrive in the UK this December - and we’ve claimed one for Empire, putting us amongst the very first gyms in the country to have one on the floor.

Merry Christmas.

We’re delighted to announce that Sarah has been promoted to Gym Manager at Empire 👑

Sarah’s journey with us has been a brilliant one. She’s been part of the furniture pretty much from day one, starting out as a member using the gym and attending classes, before going on to become a PT at Empire.

She later joined our reception team on a part-time basis, before stepping into a full-time role earlier this year and it didn’t take long for her to show just how valuable she is to the gym and the team.

Her reliability, attention to detail, work ethic and the genuine care she has for both our members and the gym have really stood out. She’s a friendly and trusted face that so many of you already know, and someone people feel comfortable approaching, while also being very good at spotting the things that need doing behind the scenes and the regular weekly work that keeps us running smoothly.

The promotion is thoroughly deserved and we know she’ll continue to make a massive difference to Empire in her new role.

We’re very lucky to have her as part of the team, so please join us in congratulating our new Gym Manager.

Congratulations, Sarah 💛👑

Another investment in Empire Gym 👑

After a few months of planning and waiting, the Watson Pro Dumbbells have officially arrived at Empire.

Yesterday was one of the busiest days we’ve had as a team in a long time, and we want to start by thanking everyone involved from start to finish. From unloading, checking and polishing every dumbbell, to moving equipment, assembling the racks, positioning everything ready for members, clearing out the old equipment and the final tidy-up, it was a huge effort. So, a massive thank you to every member of the Empire team who put the hours in to make it happen.

This delivery completes our dumbbell line-up with 60 new pairs of Watson Pro Dumbbells, including three full sets from 2.5 kg through to 50 kg.

Alongside these, we’ve retained 38 existing pairs across our Jordans, hex dumbbells and heavier sets up to 70 kg. Giving us 98 pairs of dumbbells across nine alcoves, creating what we believe is one of the most complete dumbbell line-ups around with more lifting space, less waiting, and a training environment built for serious progress.

We’ve made a significant investment in this equipment for everyone to enjoy, so we’d ask all members to help us look after it. Please return all dumbbells to their correct place after use and use the lifting mats where appropriate. A further two new sets of drop mats are arriving this week, and with everyone’s care and respect, we can keep everything looking and performing at its best for years to come.

Another project complete.
Onto the next.
The work never stops 🫡👑
