Our guests on this episode are Shelley Meyern, Head of Operations & Projects and Sue Wilkie, Head of Instructor Support at EMD UK.

EMD UK acts as the voice for group exercise instructors and organisations.

Shelley has established herself in local authority and national sports administration, and now works with EMD UK to lead on the roll out of strategic programmes notably the This Girl Can classes.

Sue has worked with some of the best-known brands to support the development of training programs and their product lines such as BOSU & TRX. Her role supporting and representing group fitness instructors has been instrumental in bringing group fitness back to the UK after COVID-19 restrictions.

During the episode we discuss the current state of the industry and look at the opportunities for the future.
