tag reaches 300 landmark
Transforming a Generation (TAG) has ensured that more than 300 young people, all of whom were claiming Job Seekers benefi ts, are now in training to be fi tness instructors and/or in work. The milestone has been
reached within just fi ve months of the launch. Specifi cally designed to help
unemployed young people into careers in the health and fi tness industry, TAG has set a target of putting 1,800 young people through the scheme over the next year. TAG was set up by Fred
Turok, chair of the Fitness industry Association (FIA) and founder of LA Fitness. “It’s very encouraging
that we are gaining ground and that industry support is continuing to grow,” he says. “TAG employs many
young people who have not previously had the opportunity to gain solid work experience in the industry, because they lacked the qualifi cations and workplace knowledge. “We want to ensure that
a new generation of fi tness instructors are well placed to advance and develop careers, with the technical knowledge and customer service skills that make them an asset to their workplace.”

world record attempt at leisure industry week
The TAG programme was established to get
young people off benefi ts and into work
The momentum is building to this year’s LIW with the announcement that the event will host the culmination of a world record attempt. Ex-army instructor Mike Buss is
aiming to run 100 marathons in 100 days to raise £10,000 for Help for Heroes and set a new world record for the most marathons run back-to- back on a treadmill. His challenge begins in Swindon on
16 June and will fi nish on Star Trac’s stand at LIW on 23 September.

Having served in the British Army for
10 years as a physical training instructor, Buss then became a professional ultra marathon athlete. If successful, this will be his 10th world record since October 2009: other records include the furthest distance run on a treadmill in 24 hours and 48 hours carrying a 40lb pack, and the furthest distance covered on a treadmill in seven days. Leisure Industry Week takes place
at the Birmingham NEC on 21–23 September:
