EMD focus group image

Bringing group exercise experiences to all communities is a passion we know you share with us. EMD UK is holding a focus group to better understand the needs, opinions, and experiences of instructors with disabilities in the group exercise sector.  

Your insights will help shape future recommendations and develop more opportunities for development in the fitness industry.   

The focus group is being held via Zoom on Wednesday 27 November from 1.30 pm-2.30 pm.  

If you are a group exercise instructor with a disability, or a disabled person wanting to work as a group exercise instructor, who would like to share your opinion, we would value your time and experience.  

You will be reimbursed £20 for your time.   

Help shape the future of accessible fitness careers and commit to better group exercise experiences for everyone.

This application will close on Thursday 21st of November at 9am and those invited to the group will be emailed on Fri 22nd November with their invitation link. EMD UK works to bring as much diversity to our focus groups as possible and will endeavour to include as many voices as possible.
