FIT FANS has helped thousands of people – football fans just like you – to achieve long-term improvements in weight loss, physical activity, diet and general wellbeing. Participants on average lost over 5% of their body weight during the 12-week programme.

Alongside our weekly sessions we also run maintenance sessions which we have set out below.

Away Day Fit Hatters

This is a circuit training and fitness session designed to get people moving and to meet new like-minded people at the same time. We combine circuit training with fitness exercises and then fun sports to finish off the session. These are running on Saturday morning at the Luton Town Fc Community Trust training facitility in Luton - Ely Way - LU4 9QN 9.30am to 10:30am and the cost is £3.50.

Fitness class/ Session

This is a fitness/exercise session where we look to stay active and on the move for as much as possible throughout the hour. The sessions are 6-7pm every Wednesday and we can have both males and females attend. Sessions are £10 for 3 sessions. These sessions are held indoors at Beech Hill Primary School (entrance via Hampton Road)

Walking football

Ran every Thursday evening 6pm to 7pm for our male participants and 7pm to 8pm for our female participants. This session is walking football only, but participants still manage to burn around 500-600 calories per session. These sessions are held at Beech Hill Primary School on their 3G astro pitch (entrance via Hampton Road)
