WHAT HAPPENS AT FOOTYFIT?
Your Wednesday. Your Team. Your Journey.
FootyFit isn't a gym session or a bootcamp. It's competitive 5-a-side football with a difference, where improving your health is just as important as winning on the pitch.
Every Wednesday, our players come together at Powerleague Peterborough to enjoy football, track their progress and support their teammates.
Here's what you can expect:
1. Arrive & Weigh In
Before your match, you'll complete a quick, discreet weigh-in to track your progress.
There's no judgement and no pressure to lose a certain amount every week. Your starting weight provides a personal reference point, allowing you to monitor your progress throughout your FootyFit journey.
Your individual weight is kept private, while your achievements can contribute towards your team's success.
2. Meet Your Teammates
You'll be part of a FootyFit team, competing alongside other players who are working towards their own health and fitness goals.
Whether you're returning to football after years away or have been playing regularly, you'll have teammates to encourage you, support you and enjoy the experience with.
You don't need to arrive with a full team. We can help you find one.
3. Play Your Football
It's time for the best part!
Enjoy a competitive 5-a-side match against another FootyFit team, with goals, saves, skills and plenty of friendly rivalry.
You don't need to be the quickest, fittest or most skilful player. Everyone has something to contribute.
And the final whistle doesn't necessarily mean the final score is decided…
4. Earn Goals Off the Pitch
This is what makes FootyFit different.
Your team's football score is combined with additional goals earned through health achievements, consistency and other FootyFit challenges.
That means the effort you put into improving your health can directly influence your team's league results.
At FootyFit, every player can make a difference — even without scoring a football goal.
HOW DOES THE FOOTYFIT SCORING SYSTEM WORK?
Games Are Won On and Off the Pitch.
In a traditional football league, the team that scores the most goals wins.
At FootyFit, there's more to the story.
We combine the goals scored during your football match with goals earned through weight-loss achievements, consistency and community competitions.
It's designed to give everyone an opportunity to contribute, regardless of their footballing ability.
Goals Scored on the Pitch
Every goal your team scores during its 5-a-side match counts towards your total.
Just like normal football, you'll compete to outscore your opponents.
But the football result is only part of the equation.
Goals Earned Through Weight Loss
Your health journey can earn additional goals for your team.
Weekly progress: If you weigh in below your personal starting weight, you earn one additional goal for your team.
Consistency rewards: Staying below your starting weight for consecutive sessions can earn extra goals:
3+ consecutive sessions: +1 bonus goal.
Personal milestones: Every time you achieve a new 5% weight-loss milestone, your team earns an additional 3 goals.
These rewards recognise both progress and consistency, encouraging players to develop healthier habits over time.
Other Ways to Earn Goals
FootyFit isn't just about what happens on Wednesday evenings.
We also run additional challenges and competitions, including Fantasy Premier League, Super 6 and occasional community challenges, which can earn extra goals for your team.
This helps keep the competition alive throughout the week.
Accountability Matters
Weekly weigh-ins are an important part of FootyFit.
To keep the competition fair, our scoring system also includes penalties for missing weigh-ins, weighing in late or being above your starting weight.
These rules encourage consistency and accountability, but the purpose is always to support long-term progress rather than perfection.
