The New Year is a time when many people make resolutions to lose weight, eat more healthily and get fitter. Sadly those resolutions don’t always last, but it’s easier to stick to those good intentions when you have a support network. And that’s where Arsenal can help, all year round, with our Shape Up programme for men.
Shape Up is a 12-week programme that aims to help men lose 5-10% of their bodyweight, eat a healthier, more balanced diet, improve physical activity and fitness levels, and develop healthy habits that create sustainable health improvements. It is open to men aged 18 to 65 with a BMI of 27.5 or above, and it isn’t just for New Year – Shape Up, which launched in September 2022, runs three times a year, with start dates in January, April and September. And with 50 participants in each programme, you will never be alone.
We will bring you more on Shape Up throughout the year, including first-person success stories from the programme, but for now you can find more details (plus a BMI calculator) here – and check out the gallery below for photos from one weekly session that included a sparring session to get participants burning calories, forging friendships and enjoying themselves.
