It\u2019s not just for girls\u2026<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn our research**, the most common concerns and misconceptions men had about joining a weight loss club \u2013 before they joined Slimming World \u2013 were that it would be: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- aimed at women <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- complicated <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- strict <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- cliquey <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- restrictive <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- controlling <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
As our 30,000 male slimmers will tell you, that isn\u2019t the case! Men soon see that everyone in group has been through the same struggles and experiences, and want to support each other on their weight loss journeys. So, male or female, you never feel alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within six weeks of joining Slimming World, and discovering the positive power of being part of a like-minded group, 92% of those same men told us they\u2019d recommend Slimming World to a friend or colleague. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n“Getting wedged under cars was a workplace hazard… not any more!”<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Success](\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Body-SuccessNickFurlong_SlimmingWorldBlog.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nNick Furlong joined his group with four friends, which meant that they could support each another in achieving their weight loss goals. He’s now 6st (38kg) lighter! Nick says: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I\u2019m a mechanic by trade and gave up working roadside, partly because of my weight. I\u2019d been known to get myself wedged under many a car while working, and the physical side of the job was getting harder. Becoming a dad again at 40 was another big factor that spurred me on to join Slimming World \u2013 I wanted to be as healthy as possible for my son, Oscar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four of my best friends were also keen to lose weight, so we decided to go along to a Slimming World group together. I was very sceptical at first. I was nervous about taking part in the group sessions, and worried that it would become just another thing I wasn\u2019t able to stick with \u2013 but I was so wrong. My Wednesday night group is now a highlight of my week. I soon realised that I don\u2019t have to miss out with Slimming World \u2013 I can still eat all my favourite foods, just with some small changes to make them slimming-friendly.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 21% rated their health good, very good or excellent before joining Slimming World, but that rating rose to 81% after they became members! Plus, the men said they had more energy and felt stronger and more enthusiastic, proud, inspired and determined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Almost two-thirds of the members and potential members we surveyed told us they wanted to improve their fitness, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our unique physical activity programme, Body Magic<\/a>, helps to get members moving more and feeling fitter. Just over half the men who took part in our research were doing more than 30 minutes of activity every week before they joined Slimming World.

“My big turning point was my nephew\u2019s stag do at Thorpe Park. I was excited to ride the big rollercoasters, but I couldn\u2019t get the shoulder restraint to click into place. I decided then that I wanted to transform my health and lifestyle for good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite my love of sport, I wasn\u2019t active at all before I joined Slimming World \u2013 I struggled to walk the dog around the block without being in significant pain. I started following Slimming World\u2019s physical activity programme, Body Magic<\/a>, and progressed from short walks to tackling long walks with ease. Running\u2019s now part of my weekly routine, and I was so proud to run the London Marathon as one of the Slimming World 2025 team. <\/p>\n\n\n\nMy Slimming World Consultant, Beckie, and my fellow group members have played an incredibly important part in my weight loss journey. They provide invaluable support on the weeks I need it most and celebrate with me when I hit key milestones.
