MAN v FAT started life 10 years ago as a website and digital magazine, supporting men's health with a particular focus on weight loss. We soon recognised that men were an underserved population when it came to traditional weight management services. In 2016, MAN v FAT Football was born, for men who wanted to lose weight and play sport in a welcoming environment. Our pioneering approach to gamifying weight loss meant that men could score points for their efforts, making MAN v FAT the only leagues where losers win We have now branched out into a new sporting world – Rugby MAN v FAT Rugby - Lose Weight, Play Rugby What makes our MAN v FAT clubs unique is that the coach weighs each player before their game. Players earn bonus tries for their weight loss so the league is decided not only on points won, but pounds lost. Both MAN v FAT Football and Rugby clubs have been hugely successful, with players losing hundreds of thousands of lbs since the programmes launched. This has led to the FA and Sport England endorsing our work and supporting the programme. We now have over 150 clubs across the UK, with a community of over 8,000 men taking part.
