EMD: The Bridge



EMD UK, the national governing body for group exercise, has created a streamlined solution to support a large number of group exercise instructors who do not have a formal level 2 or level 3 qualification. Known as The Bridge, instructors can now boost their professional standards and plug the employability gap.

Active IQ is supporting this initiative by offering the updated Level 2 Principles of Anatomy, Physiology, and Fitness unit which usually forms part of our Level 2 Certificate in Group Training and Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instructing, providing fundamental knowledge and a robust foundation for comprehending the complexities of the human body’s structure and function.

This allows an opportunity for learners to achieve The Bridge for a wider number of group exercise instructors who don’t want to follow the traditional Level 2 route. This also enables instructors to teach a practical discipline such as dance, a pre-choreographed programme, or an employer’s internal programme, ensuring they also hold the underpinning knowledge.
