CLASSFINDER BOOST
Exercise Movement and Dance UK (EMD UK) launched its
new, upgraded Classfinder search engine in September,
which is a great platform for group exercise instructors to
promote their classes for free.
The project was funded by Sport England and is powered by
open data, so instructors can opt-in to be shown on a great
many other activity finders.
There’s over 40,000 classes on there at the moment and
instructors are giving feedback that they’re getting more
clients and they’re organically recommending the platform to
other instructors.
The future is open data, so the earlier instructors utilise these
platforms the better.
You can have a look around the site by going to:

FITNESS TRACKERS
ON THE NHS
The NHS Long Term Plan has announced that thousands
of people will be given digital support, including fitness
trackers, to prevent them from developing Type II diabetes.
A pilot scheme showed that engaging people digitally
boosted the number of people taking up its Diabetes
Prevention Programme (DPP).
68% of people referred to digital fitness schemes took part
in them, compared with around half of those who were
offered face-to-face support.
As a result, up to a fifth of the places on the DPP, around
40,000 a year, will now be delivered digitally.
