For a third consecutive year, OriGym has officially been named ‘Training Provider of the Year’ at the British Fitness Awards.
This achievement reflects our consistent dedication to our students and graduates, as we continue to transform lives through educational excellence, year after year.
Why Did OriGym Win Training Provider of the Year at The 2026 BFAs?
The BFAs are recognised as one of the most prestigious awards in the UK fitness industry, receiving over 4 million nominations and votes from January-August 2026.
To even be nominated alongside 12 of the UK’s most respected training providers was a great achievement in itself.
Having previously won this category for back-to-back years (2024 and 2025) we were eager to maintain our high standards of educational excellence. This was achieved through services such as:
- Flexible Learning Options (Full-Time, Hybrid, Online, and the newly launched Part-Time) – Giving students even more flexibility to study at their own pace.
- CIMSPA Endorsed & Ofqual Regulated Courses – Including CIMSPA ‘Enhancing’ status to guarantee the quality of our qualifications.
- 7-Day Tutor Support – Includes weekends and evenings, allowing all students to get help as and when they need it.
- Unlimited Free Career Support – Over 92% of OriGym graduates go on to work in the industry, thanks to post-course career support services such as guaranteed job interviews with our partner gyms.
We couldn’t have done this without the support of our amazing students, graduates, and staff, who showed their support throughout our entire campaign.
What Do OriGym’s Students Say?
We’re the highest rated training provider in the UK for a reason, with over 8,152+ five-star reviews.
Students come to OriGym looking to kickstart their dream career in health and fitness. We not only provide the necessary training, but go the extra mile with additional resources and support to help them hit the ground running.
Here’s what personal training graduate Mikey O’Sullivan had to say:
OriGym’s course has given me the confidence to make the transition into personal training. Now I’m in the process of building my coaching business, while continuing my work as a secondary school teacher.
