Tuesday 1st & 8th March – Come and Try Sessions

Chris Rigby, Pendle Leisure Trust’s Healthy Lifestyles Manager, said: “This is a fantastic programme and we are really pleased to be part of it and to be able to introduce it to the men of Pendle.
“The MAN V FAT Clubs are all about playing football, receiving nutrition advice and encouraging each other – playing as a team both physically and mentally in a bid to reach the end goal of becoming fit and healthy.”
Head of MAN v FAT, Richard Crick, added: “It’s great to bring specialised and community led weight loss support to men in Pendle.
“In the time we have been running, we have shown how local men can tackle their battle with fat and come out victorious, so we’re excited to see how our new Pendle club will help men to trim their waistline and make some positive health changes in 2022.”
