Our MAN v FAT community in Scotland has hit new heights in 2026, with a host of great communities turning out strong weight loss outcomes each week.
This is particularly true in Fife, where the lads there have consistently lost weight and hit both personal and club wide achievements when it comes to shedding the pounds.
We caught up with coach Ryan Delargey to get the lowdown on the secret to their success.
You’ve got a lot of guys who’ve lost substantial amounts of weight in Fife – what’s the secret of yours and the lads successes?
The biggest “secret” is that it’s not really a secret at all – it’s consistency, accountability, and support. The lads show up every week, they’re honest about where they’re at, and they back each other.
What makes a huge difference is the team environment. You’re not doing it alone, you’ve got other guys going through the same challenges, celebrating the same wins, and that creates a level of motivation you just don’t get on your own.
We focus on small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes, and over time that adds up to big results.
What do you enjoy the most about coaching at Fife?
There’s a real sense of community. It’s not just about weight loss, it’s about friendships, support, and having something to be part of every week. I think the banter is great and being apart of someone’s weight loss journey is very satisfying.
If someone was thinking about joining MAN v FAT in Fife, what would you say to them about getting involved?
I’d say just come down and give it a go — that first step is always the hardest, but it’s worth it.
You don’t need to be fit, you don’t need to be good at football, and you definitely won’t be judged. Everyone starts somewhere, and everyone is there for the same reason — to improve their health and feel better.
It’s a really welcoming environment, and once you’re in, you’ll wish you’d done it sooner.
Basically if you like football, want to lose a bit weight and get fitter and also enjoy the banter please sign up and I will be in touch.
