PRESS RELEASE

Create provides lifeline for stranded learners to complete qualifications

23 Sep 2025
/ Create.fit
Create has stepped forward to support learners affected by The Health & Fitness Institute’s (THFI) decision to stop trading, ensuring ambitions to join the fitness industry don’t go unfulfilled.

More than 350 learners are partway through their Level 3 Personal Trainer Diploma with THFI and face the prospect of being unable to complete their education. To protect the time, effort and passion already invested, Create is offering every learner a seamless pathway to qualification and the opportunity to enter the fitness sector workforce.

“Learners come to this industry with ambition, drive and a passion to help others,” says Adam Rhodes, CEO at Create. “When circumstances beyond their control put their future at risk, we felt a responsibility to act. By recognising prior learning, removing barriers and providing time and guidance to succeed, Create is providing a pathway so learners can continue their journey and enter the workforce with confidence. The fitness industry needs their energy and commitment and at Create we are determined to make sure it doesn’t lose them.”

Every learner transferring to Create will have the work they have already completed carefully reviewed and mapped against Create’s syllabus so that no progress is lost and any knowledge gaps are addressed before completion. From the moment they enrol, learners are also guaranteed a full 12 months to complete their course, giving them the time, reassurance and support they need to succeed without penalty or unnecessary pressure.

To further remove barriers, Create has also offering financial support to prevent cost being a reason for anyone to step away from their ambition.

“For us, this isn’t about numbers, it’s about people,” adds Rhodes. “We want to make sure no learner is left behind. These individuals represent the next generation of fitness professionals, and we’re committed to helping them cross the finish line.”

For THFI learners, the message is clear: the journey towards a career in fitness does not need to end. With Create’s support, the knowledge and effort already invested can still lead to a recognised qualification and a successful career in fitness.
