MAN v FAT Rugby: A New Frontier in Men’s Health and Wellbeing
MAN v FAT, known for its successful weight loss programs in football, has now ventured into the world of rugby with the launch of new rugby clubs across the country. The initiative has seen incredible success with the first clubs in Birmingham, Cheltenham, and Leicester already helping men shed a staggering 316kgs of weight. Inspired by this early success, MAN v FAT is set to launch more rugby clubs in Bradford, Bristol, Castleford, Chiswick, Edinburgh, and Wigan in early 2025.
Karl White, MAN v FAT Rugby Lead, expressed his excitement about the positive response to the program, stating, “It’s been a joy to see that no matter the shape of the ball, the weekly weigh-in and game is somewhere that our players build confidence, make new friends and improve their mental health, while losing weight.” The program not only focuses on weight loss but also aims to promote mental wellbeing among its participants.
With over 35,000 men supported on their health and wellbeing journeys by MAN v FAT, the cumulative weight loss across their football, rugby, and soccer programs is approaching 750,000lbs. The success stories go beyond just the numbers on the scale, with many participants reporting significant improvements in their mental health and overall quality of life.
One such success story is Gareth Robinson, a member of the MAN v FAT Rugby club in Leicester. Gareth joined the program to reduce his risks of cardiovascular disease and be more active with his children. He was one of the first to achieve a 10% weight loss milestone and has thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the supportive community.
