WeŌĆÖve posted some unusual locations for group exercise before. Who wouldnŌĆÖt like the opportunity to take part in a physical activity session on the iconic Tower Bridge? Maybe you, or some of your class participants joined in? WeŌĆÖd love to hear from you if you did ŌĆō or maybe you can tell us about the most unusual place you have ever delivered a group exercise class? #StandAtTheFront # groupexercise #London #Yoga

Our first Group Training CPD course took place recently and we are delighted to share these fantastic comments received from one of the participants. Lyndsey -
ŌĆ£Just wanted to feed back that out of all of the courses I have ever done with EMD UK (some full qualifications over various weekends) I have never learnt as much from such a passionate trainer as Ben Finning in just 2 days! He was so knowledgeable yet so willing to help us all develop our current skills we already pos...sess to further our learning.
There was a great range of both theory and practical. I will definitely come away from the CPD feeling confident to teach all styles of HIIT classes now, (despite it being out of my comfort zone) and in comparison to my usual dance fitness ways.
IŌĆÖm even thinking of going to his Essex Bootcamp when IŌĆÖm next home, because he is so inspirational and I do not tend to enjoy these high intensity type classes! (Despite it being so popular in the industry at this current time) He has changed my opinion of Functional Fitness as a whole and IŌĆÖm overall very pleased with the weekend!ŌĆØ
Our next course takes places on 21/22 November, do take a look if you would like to be similarly inspired!

A new report from Deloitte has highlighted an opportunity for health and fitness operators. The global study found that 78% of employers were looking to invest in physical activity programmes in the next three years. On-site fitness classes and subsidies or discounts for off-site gym membership are currently the most popular options.
Group exercise instructors have an important role to play, as they can make or break a memberŌĆÖs activity experience. A single ŌĆśsuperstarŌĆÖ group exercise instructor can pull in multiple loyal followers to a club every week ŌĆō substantially impacting on membership revenue and retention.

Now, some of you may remember that at Elevate 2019 we launched a White Paper regarding Instructor pay. This guy says it as it is and is bang on the money. How can we help as your National Governing Body? Well, we can't pay you more as we aren't your employer, however, we can save you money on your insurance (starts from ┬Ż39), your REPS membership, your PPL licences, we offer training bursary funding and some fitness brands CPDs are eligible for funding and on top of that we will continue to campaign and champion the need for proper pay for instructors. #StandAtTheFront Ricky Long
