The National Governing Body for Group Exercise
EMD UK was set up to unite and support the group exercise community in their careers. Through our activities, we keep members informed, uplifted and safe in their profession, so that they can continue to build on the sector’s incredible £5.3bn social impact to society. We are funded by Sport England, governed by an independent board and work with partner organisations to deliver our support to as many instructors as possible, for as little as possible.
Practical help, guidance, and resources to back you at every stage of your career.
Professional recognition and ongoing learning to keep you confident, credible, and current.
Research, data, and advocacy that strengthen group exercise and raise standards across the sector.
We’re proud to partner with some of the world’s best-known and most innovative training providers to provide exclusive discounts to our members. Expand your horizons.
