The below are the two pieces of correspondence being sent to members and those waiting to get started in October, around upcoming price changes.
1) Current Members as of October 10th 2024
Dear MAN v FAT Member,
As winter approaches, we wanted to share that we’re making a commitment to our existing members and acting on some feedback that we’ve had from our community.
We’re pleased to share that we’ll be freezing the MAN v FAT membership price for current members until at least April 2025. As well as that, we’re trialling an ‘Injury Membership’ option for those on the sidelines for two months or more.
As with all organisations, the price of almost everything has increased over the last 18 months, but we’re committed to making this price commitment to those in our existing membership base.
Membership prices for new or returning members will be increasing slightly from 14th of October to £35.00 per month (£36.50 in London). To put that in context with our closest competitors – WW is currently £26.95 for an in-person membership and doesn’t include a weekly football match!
Should you leave the programme and return in the future, then the new higher price point would kick in. However, we wanted to ensure that those who pick up injuries can continue to be supported and keep their current membership rate when they return to the pitch – so we’ll soon be introducing the ‘Injury Membership’.
We surveyed hundreds of MAN v FAT Footballers who have left the programme due to injury in the last 12 months and 88% said they’d of liked to have continued being part of their clubs.
Full details of how the ‘Injury Membership’ will work can be found HERE, but highlights include:-
– Access to your weekly weigh in (which will contribute to your team’s scores)
– Continued support from your MAN v FAT Coach
– Continuing to be part of your club’s community
– Access to MAN v FAT content, The Dugout & JAAQ
This membership will be a minimum of two months and see your fees for those two months (and beyond if necessary) reduced to £15.00 per month. The new membership will also mean there are some tweaks to existing rules, so we’d encourage all players to check out full details when they’re released in the coming days.
All the best,
MAN v FAT HQ
2) Non-Teamed Players/Waiting List as of October 10th 2024
Good afternoon,
We hope you’re all keeping well and have had a great summer – and that you’re looking forward to getting started with MAN v FAT Football!
As with all organisations, the price of almost everything has increased over the last 18 months, Membership prices for our new or returning members will be increasing slightly from 14th of October to £35.00 per month (£36.50 in London). To put that in context with our closest competitors – WW is currently £26.95 for an in-person membership and doesn’t include a weekly football match!
We know starting a weight loss journey isn’t easy and we’re delighted you’re making your first steps on it with us! As you have already committed to joining we want to honour the price plan you signed up to – providing you start when you are offered a spot. However, should you leave the programme and return in the future, then the new higher price point would kick in.
If you are placed in a team and start with MAN v FAT before the 14th of October you’ll automatically be placed on our existing membership price. If you start anytime after this date, please contact our Player Support Team on 0345 163 0042 or football@manvfat.com and they’ll be able to default your plan back to the £31.00 (£33.50 in London) per month subscription.
