About Us

Fat Man Slim is a weight loss program designed especially for the everyday guy who does not want to go to a gym and train with all the gym junkies – or commit to a long term gym membership. We designed the Fat Man Slim program to assist men gain control of their health and live longer by helping to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and minimise the risk of heart disease.

Here are some statistics that affect men in New Zealand (National Health Foundation):

• Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in New Zealand accounting for 40% of deaths annually (approximately 10,500).
• One New Zealander dies of cardiovascular disease every hour (approx.) and many of these deaths are premature and preventable.
• Every 90 minutes a New Zealander dies from a heart attack (17 deaths a day).
• Coronary heart disease is the leading single cause of death accounting for almost one in every four deaths.
• In 2002 there were more people "living with heart disease" than ever before.
• Obesity is a risk factor for a number of diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, osteoarthritis and some cancers.
• About one third of New Zealanders do not eat enough vegetables.
• Approximately one in two New Zealanders are obese or overweight.
• Only half of New Zealanders eat the recommended two servings of fruit each day.

The goal of Fat Man Slim is to reverse the negative health status of the many men who participate in our 6 week program. Our goal is achieved through safe, achievable weight and fat loss.

We are personal trainers – we have been involved in the health and fitness industry for the last 10 years and we currently own our own gym. We realised that there was nothing available solely focused on men’s weight loss and achieving real weight loss results within a relatively short period of time.

Fat Man Slim was created to address this need – a program that utilises nutrition and training to achieve fantastic weight loss results. All participants receive support and advice throughout the 6 week program and results are monitored weekly. See our Success Stories for more information on what has already been achieved by past and current participants.

Get together with like minded, every day guys – and achieve weight loss success.
