Why The Drop

Three wins for one night a week.

Most weight-loss clubs weren’t built for men. This one was. Football is the hook. Feeling better is the result.

01

Lose weight

A private weekly weigh-in and plain-English food advice that fits real life. No shakes. No points. No lycra.

02

Grow your circle

A squad of blokes in the same boat. Friday nights, the group chat, and a bit of stick when you need it.

03

Feel better

Sleep better, move easier, think clearer. And someone to talk to who actually gets it.

How it works

Same time. Same place. Every week.

01

Weigh in

Every Friday before kick-off. One-to-one, behind a screen. Nobody else sees your number.

02

Play

An hour of five-a-side. Blue v Red. Teams reshuffled so it stays fair.

03

Score twice

Points for being on the winning side. Points for the weight you lose.

04

Win either way

Lost the game? You can still climb the table on the scales.

The league

Two ways to win. Nobody loses.

It’s a league of individuals. Every Friday you pick up points two ways: being on the winning side, and the weight you lose on the scales.

Win on the pitch. Everyone on the winning side gets points. Who scored doesn’t matter.
Lose on the scales. Your own weight loss earns you points, every week.
Teams change weekly. Blue and Red are reshuffled, so it’s you against the table.

The squad chat

Banter, recipes and a nudge when you need one. Muted at your discretion.

FAQs

Your questions.

Anything else? Email thedrop@twelvepointnine.com and a real person will reply.

I’m not any good at football.

Perfect. Neither are most of us. Teams are mixed so it stays fair, and nobody’s scouting.

I haven’t played in 20 years.

You’re in good company. Coaches start everyone gently and you play at your own pace.

Is the weigh-in public?

Never. It’s one-to-one with your coach, behind a screen. Only your points go on the table, never your weight.

What if I miss a week?

No drama. Let your coach know and pick it up next Friday. Life happens.

What do I need to bring?

Trainers, a water bottle and something you can run in. Bibs and balls are on us.

Is it just for really big lads?

It’s for any man 18+ with a BMI of 25 or more. Plenty of members have a stone to lose, some have ten.
