Name: Richard Mason Age: 29 Location: Bicester, Oxfordshire Membership Number: 0065189 Job description: Freelance personal trainer

Qualifications: Level 3 personal training, Diploma in anatomy and physiology

Best thing about my job: Seeing my clients succeed gives me great personal satisfaction. To help someone achieve their goals, particularly when they have felt they would never reach the finish line, is incredible. Job satisfaction doesn’t come much better than being a PT.

Lightbulb moment: Hearing I had passed my level 3 PT course was a life-long dream come true. Later getting some amazing feedback from clients made me believe that this was what I was born to do.

The next step: Pre and post-natal exercise qualification and an exercise for children course, then onto level 4 before hopefully taking my own business to the USA.

Name: Jenny Pacey Age: 27

Location: North London

Membership Number: 0066682 Job description: Television Gladiator, Personal Trainer and Fitness

Consultant, sports model/presenter, brand ambassador, motivational speaker and athlete!

Qualifications: BSC (hons) Sports and exercise science (Loughborough), YMCA Personal Trainer, VTCT: Level 3 Diploma In Sports Massage Therapy, YMCA: Movement to Music- Aerobics/ Aqua Aerobics Instructor, YMCA: Gym Instructor & Advanced Gym Instructor, YMCA: Circuit Training Instructor, YMCA: Advanced Core stability, YMCA: Nutrition, Diet and weight management control, YMCA: Client Appraisal and Fitness Testing, YMCA: Strength and Conditioning Instructor, YMCA: Walking.

Best thing about my job: I get to do something different everyday! One day I could be on television, then a photo shoot, or representing Great Britain in long jump, or personal training – which I love.

Lightbulb moment: I was at the winter Olympics for bobsleigh and a teammate picked up an injury that took them out of the sport for good. I realised that I needed more than just to be an international athlete, and on my return to the UK started building my company, Pace & Go, which I run with my partner.

The next step: We’re bringing out a number of products and a training system through our company. I would also love to become the GMTV fitness presenter and I am currently training towards the Commonwealth Games long jump later this year.

PPL, the music licensing company which represents performers and record companies, has launched a consultation exercise in partnership with the FIA to determine a fair and equitable tariff for the use of recorded music in exercise classes.

Set up in 1934, PPL is responsible for collecting licence fees due in connection with the playing of ‘sound recordings’, in public places. As the industry representative, the FIA has secured a commitment from PPL to set an equitable industry rate, which reflects the actual use of recorded music in the fitness industry – as opposed to a tariff set by comparison with perceived peer industries. In addition, to protect members’ interests, the FIA has agreed to collate all market sensitive information (such as financial,

membership and usage related data) and only submit aggregated

data to PPL for assessment. This will help ensure

that PPL can develop a tariff which reflects

actual use of recorded music (not based on supposition), whilst protecting FIA members’ privacy.

The consultation is an unprecedented initiative occurring for the first time in the tariff’s twenty year history! The consultation process has started and requires input from operators and instructors alike, to this end a (confidential) questionnaire will be despatched shortly. This needs to be completed and returned to the FIA or emailed to musiclicensing@fia.org.uk
