Venues
EyUp Bradford
The EyUp Wellbeing League in Bradford, launched in 2022, is a unique initiative designed to meet the needs of plus-sized football enthusiasts. Our program offers 60 minutes of 7-a-side football, combined with a focus on weight loss and overall wellbeing. We provide tools and support tailored to individuals, teams, and the broader community, promoting physical activity, health, and social interaction. As a key partner of the Yorkshire XL11s League, sanctioned by the FA, we also offer players the opportunity to participate in full 11-a-side matches every other week across Yorkshire and beyond.
EyUp Ladies
EyUp Wellbeing Ladies offers a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded women, stay motivated, and enjoy fun activities while pursuing your health and weight loss goals. Joining your local EyUp means you'll feel more fulfilled as you participate, encourage, and support others, ensuring you never have to go through the journey alone. This holistic approach helps you achieve your physical goals while also nurturing your mental well-being, making the experience more enjoyable, sustainable, and rewarding. Think weight-loss club means fund team sports instead of sitting in a class.
EyUp Leeds
The EyUp Wellbeing League in Leeds is currently hosted at Powerleague Central on Wednesdays from 8pm to 10pm, but we'll soon be relocating to South Leeds Youth Hub from 7pm to 9pm and accommodate more participants. As demand for EyUp continues to grow, especially during this cost of living crisis, we propose to open more local clubs in Yorkshire. Engaging with like-minded people on a weekly basis offers a more cost-effective way to stay physically active compared to joining a gym or sports club and help your own wellbeing. Come and join us—you’ve got nothing to lose but weight!

MORE ABOUT EYUP LADIES
EyUp Ladies is a women-led group designed for like-minded individuals. We offer a no-pressure environment without intense team sports. Instead, after weigh-ins each week, we introduce enjoyable and engaging activities rather than sitting in a class promoting costly 'low-fat chocolate.' We understand the reasons behind our larger sizes, and EyUp focuses on incorporating fun physical activities to help you better manage your well-being and weight.
We typically use sports halls, but with some outdoor activities like walking. The sports halls offer a secure environment where members can feel comfortable during weigh-ins and then interact with their team to participate in a different sport each week. Teams score goals before playing, as each individuals weigh-in and attendance result contributes to its pre-game score. The pre-game score is then combined with the games final result for an overall score.
Don't panic, we are not going to force you to participate, we believe you must want to get involved and enjoy it, just like fat men like chasing a football around. Sports we do include;
- Dodgeball
- Indoor rounders
- Handball
- Downball
- Kinball
- Paddle, etc...
