Job description

MAN v FAT provide year-round men’s weight loss and wellbeing communities in the form of Football & Rugby clubs. They’re exclusively designed for men with a BMI of 27.5 and above. Launched in 2016 by male weight loss specialists, MAN v FAT appeals to men who love football or rugby and hate being fat!

What makes these clubs unique is that the coach weighs each player before their game. Players earn bonus goals for their weight loss so the league is decided not only on points won, but pounds lost.

The clubs have been hugely successful with players losing hundreds of thousands of lbs since the programme launched in January 2016 - this has led to the FA and Sport England endorsing our work and supporting the programme. We now have over 160 clubs across the UK!
