Football weight loss
Football is a great way to lose weight. It doesn't matter if you're unfit; that's exactly why we're here. Your fitness starts coming back in no time, and the kilos fall off with it.
You may have seen MAN v FAT Football, but do you know what it really is? It's built around football, but first and foremost it's a weight loss programme for men. The aim is to bring like-minded lads together to talk about something men don't usually talk about. You get support, advice and a team who all share the same goal.
By removing the stigma around weight loss and creating an inclusive environment, we have a platform that makes a real difference.
With the support of the coach and their teammates, more than 90% of our members lose weight. Along the way, everyone has fun and gets fitter.
When we say football for everyone, we mean it. From day one we've had all sorts of lads. Some have played before, and some had never kicked a ball in their life. Their only goal is to get fitter. So whatever your background, get involved at MAN v FAT Aintree today.

People join us for all sorts of reasons. Here are the ones we hear most.

We're currently a 4 team, 5-a-side league. It would take forever to name every player, so take a look at the team names instead. They're nearly always about food and weight loss, which helps take the stigma out of it.
