Get fit, lose the belly and get behind the scenes at Northampton Town FC!
Are you a man aged 35-65 years old? Is your waist size at least 38 inches or BMI over 26.5? Do you want to lose weight, have a healthier lifestyle and ultimately be fitter? Our 12-week Fit Cobblers programme can help you do this for free. You’ll get a behind the scenes look at Northampton Town Football Club (at Northampton sessions) and be trained by selected Community Trust coaches.
The FREE twelve week long course aims to provide participants with the knowledge, support and activity to help make small lifestyle changes which can have a positive effect on their health. If you are thinking about losing weight and improving your health, you’re not alone and this is the perfect first step to join a group to make that happen.
New to Fit Cobblers from May 2024 is that we have been successful in receiving funding from the Cecil Petit Legacy Fund to deliver a Fit Cobblers for adults with disabilities. They will attend the programme together with the adults who do not have disabilities and work together in an open, safe and inclusive environment. Our Disability Officer Russell Lewis and disability coaches will also be on hand along with carers to support the needs of the adults.
Each week, the FREE course, which is based at two locations, covers a number of different health related topics including thinking about alcohol consumption, food labelling, keeping food diaries and making better food choices. The participants record their progress throughout the programme in their workbooks. In addition to the classroom based activities the participants also take part in weekly exercise sessions. These include walking football, circuit training, boxercise and jogging.
On the completion of the programme each of the successful participants is rewarded with a certificate. They are also provided with peer support and are guided into exercise and physical activity sessions in the local area.
