EMD UK: The Voice for Group Exercise Instructors and Organisations
EMD UK is a leading organisation that acts as the voice for group exercise instructors and organisations. With a mission to achieve a healthier nation through group exercise, EMD UK has been at the forefront of promoting physical activity and fitness across the United Kingdom.
At EMD UK, we believe that group exercise is one of the most effective ways to get people moving and improve their health. Whether it's dance, aerobics, yoga or any other form of group fitness, we are committed to supporting instructors and organisations in delivering high-quality classes that inspire people to get active.
Our History
EMD UK was founded in 2016 as part of an initiative by Sport England to increase participation in physical activity across the country. Since then, we have grown into a national organisation with over 7,000 members representing more than 2 million participants.
