Watford FC are helping men ‘Shape Up’ in Royston
The Shape Up Herts campaign has a 6 year history of helping men aged 18 to 65 to improve their fitness & nutrition habits and lose weight and for the first time, it is available to Men in Royston.
The programme was originally set up in late 2014 by Watford FC Community Sports and Education Trust, with funding from Public Health Herts, to combat the growing problem of obesity amongst middle aged men in Hertfordshire. It has proved so popular that it has since been extended, with further funding from North Herts District Council and the Premier League.
The focus is on using fun, free sessions of nutritional advice, exercise and even team sports to help men with a BMI of 30 or over to get fitter in a sociable atmosphere. It also encourages men to develop a healthier relationship with food and break bad habits. Having been rolled out right across the county, the courses are available to more people than ever.
The main features are:
- Fun 90-minute-long sessions
- Expert level nutrition & behaviour change advice
- Delivered by friendly and professional health & wellbeing coaches
- Completely FREE of charge
- At the right time – evening-based courses
- Easy to get involved with – contact them direct or through your GP.
The course consists of:
- 12 weekly sessions lasting 90 minutes each
- Pre-recorded content sent directly to you to watch at home
- Remote support and resources to help you be successful at home
- Focus on a different topic each session around nutrition and behaviour change.
