Football Fans in Training – Leyton Orient Trust
Get fit, lose your belly and get behind the scenes at Leyton Orient FC, all for free!
Are you a man aged 30-65 years old? Is your trouser waist size at least 38 inches? Do you want to lose weight, have a healthier lifestyle and ultimately be fitter? Our 12 week Football Fans In Training programme can help you do this for free. You’ll get a behind the scenes look at your club, be trained by selected club coaches, have a nosy at the trophy cabinet and have the chance to talk tactics in the dressing room. Who knows, maybe you’ll even bump into a player or two. So what are you waiting for?
The main aims of the Football Fans in Training programme are to:
- Increase knowledge of diet & nutrition
- Improve lifestyle choices
- Increase physical activity amongst participants
- Reduce weight and waist measurements
- Increase engagement in other physical activity
The programme has been extremely effective in Scotland and Leyton Orient are one of the first clubs in England and the first in London to have adopted it. The programme began in January 2016.
