Rugby League may now be into its off-season, but the Hull FC Community Foundation is increasing its volume of sessions to ensure local people stay fit and healthy throughout the autumn and winter.
Match Fit and Unite Fitness are both free health & wellbeing sessions for men and women, designed to help keep people in shape physically and mentally.
Both projects, which were launched just one year ago, have proved a big hit with participants. Now, the Hull FC Community Foundation is launching its next block of sessions over the autumn and the winter, bringing sessions to multiple locations across the city!
Match Fit is a free health, fitness and wellbeing group for men of varying levels of physical activity, from those just starting on their fitness journey, to regular exercisers.
Three separate Match Fit sessions will take place on a weekly basis, with a timetable of sessions below:
