Say hello to Reach Up
Reach Up, built by EMD UK in collaboration with This Girl Can, and funded by the National Lottery, is a revolutionary new resource hub for group exercise instructors.
Why do we need Reach Up?
According to recent data, group exercise is one of the most effective ways to get more women more active, more often, and there is huge potential to engage even more women if barriers to entry can be removed.
Reach Up addresses those real-life barriers by equipping instructors with powerful, practical tools to create welcoming, inclusive environments where every woman feels she belongs.
It also provides guidance to help instructors connect with women who can benefit most from group exercise, giving them the motivation, confidence and support they need to get started and keep going.
Learn on the go
Reach up has been specifically designed for busy, on the go group exercise instructors.
Whether on the sofa, at the coffee shop, or in between classes, Reach Up fits effortlessly into your schedule. Through videos, worksheets, and step-by-step guides, Reach Up’s bitesize learning format makes expanding your knowledge easy.
Designed to make maximum impact immediately, you can implement your learnings in your very next class.
