Raising professional standards

As the national governing body for group exercise and a system partner for Sport England, at EMD UK our mission is clear. We are dedicated to achieving our vision of healthier communities through group exercise. 

To achieve that, we work with instructors, operators and organisations across the sector to provide help, support and advice and to ensure that group exercise continues to inspire people of all ages and abilities to take part in physical activity. 

We know that future proofing and workforce credibility are some of your most important focuses. With EMD UK official professional recognition and Workforce and Studio Packages, your workforce’s qualifications can be officially verified and you can build out strategic support for your organisation.

Benefits of partnering with EMD UK

For operators, partnering with EMD UK delivers distinct commercial advantages.

The gold standard

Our independent verification as the National Governing Body (NGB) for Group Exercise carries undisputed weight with insurers and local authorities.

Workforce and Studio Partnerships

As an operator, your studio is the heartbeat of your facility, a high-energy asset that drives member retention and community.

While general health and safety audits are a good start, keeping your studio at a baseline level of operation, maximising the potential of group exercise requires a specialist level of approach. EMD UK Workforce and Studio Partnerships can move your business beyond basic support into elite Studio Compliance and Operational Excellence.

Professional recognition for your workforce

Cost available on enquiry (bespoke based on workforce size)

EMD UK provides formal professional recognition for your entire group exercise workforce, providing them with either a Pro or Pro Enhanced membership based on your operational needs.

Our team handles the heavy lifting. We work directly with your management team to audit your instructor database, verify approved qualifications, and provide clear, supporting “Bridge” pathways for any instructors requiring updated training to meet national standards.

Contact our team today for a tailored proposal mapped to your workforce scale.
