comments from TAG:

“I have changed my life around, and can’t see myself doing anything else, but being in fitness. I am used to routine as it formed a part of my life when I was in prison. I spent nearly six years in prison for armed robbery and was sentenced when I was 15. I went to Feltham and missed my GCSE’s, so although I went to the gym all the time when I was inside I didn’t come out with many qualifications. TAG has changed that, TAG is right for me. Now, when someone phones me from the road and asks me if I’ve got anything going on, I tell them “No, but I can help you get a job in a gym.” I’ve never felt so free.
