MAN v FAT Rugby Partners with Hull KR Foundation to Bring A Life-Changing Health Programme to Hull
MAN v FAT Rugby has officially teamed up with Hull KR Foundation to launch its weight loss and fitness programme for men in Hull on Wednesday 25th June.
This marks MAN v FAT Rugby’s fifth partnership with a Rugby League club foundation, expanding its mission to tackle obesity and improve men’s health through sport. MAN v FAT is specifically designed for men with a BMI of 27.5 or higher, combining the camaraderie and competitiveness of rugby with structured weight loss support. Participants engage in weekly touch rugby games, receive guidance from health and wellbeing coaches, and benefit from a supportive community environment. Over 90% of players experience weight loss and improved fitness through the programme.
Hull KR Foundation inspires people through sport and physical activity and delivers real and lasting benefits in terms of health and wellbeing.
Janine Badger, Health and Wellbeing Manager at Hull KR Foundation, said:
“We’re really proud to launch this partnership with MAN v FAT here in Hull. This initiative offers men a unique and supportive way to improve their health through rugby and teamwork. It’s not just about weight loss – it’s about building confidence, improving mental wellbeing, and creating a community where men can support each other on their journey.”
Karl White, from MAN v FAT HQ, added:
“For us to partner with our fifth Rugby League Club’s Foundation in Hull KR is brilliant. The work each and every Foundation undertake within their communities is integral to not only improving residents’ health and wellbeing, but getting people into the game of rugby – or back into the game, like is the case with a lot of our members. An added element to this partnership is that it gives the guys the opportunity to play in the shadow of Craven Park.”
MAN v FAT has seen real results across the UK – with thousands of men losing weight, gaining confidence, and reconnecting with sport in a supportive and structured environment.
Registrations are open for men ready to tackle their weight and improve their lives. Visit https://manvfatrugby.com/club/hull/ to learn more.
