Create launches fully-funded personal training scholarships for UK market

Fitness training provider, Create, has launched a personal training scholarship aimed at removing financial barriers that could prevent talented individuals from entering the fitness workforce.

The Create Future Trainer Scholarship will fund one learner every month through a recognised Create qualification, providing all the support and resources needed to start a career in fitness.

The scholarship, fully funded by Create, covers the full tuition cost of an eligible Create qualification, including lifetime access to online materials, one-to-one tutor support, Ofqual and CIMSPA-recognised certification and access to Create’s professional mentorship network.

The programme was launched in November 2025, with the first recipient announced at the end of the month. A scholar will be selected every month thereafter, totalling 12 fully funded scholarships per year. Those interested in applying can doso by enrolling on a Create qualification or career pathway package and then submitting a short, written statement answering the question: “Why do you want a career in fitness?”.

Create says that each application will be assessed on “authenticity, motivation, and potential impact rather than academic background or experience”.

According to Adam Rhodes, CEO, the scholarship is part of Create’s commitment to “give back to the sector and support those with the passion and purpose to succeed”.

“The Create Future Trainer Scholarship is about unlocking potential and widening access to our industry,” Rhodes said.

“There are passionate, capable people who could make a real difference in fitness but lack the means to get started. By removing that barrier, we’re opening doors for deserving individuals and ensuring the sector benefits from the introduction of new, motivated talent.”
