XLFC Weight-loss Football is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership that is bound to have a lasting impact on both fitness and community spirit in the Royal town of Windsor, Berkshire.
XLFC has teamed up with Windsor & Eton Football Club as a “Community Partner Club”, promoting healthy living and social engagement, with the goal of getting adults active again through a shared love of football.
The partnership is focused on helping individuals lose weight, improve fitness, and enhance their overall well-being by using football as a fun and engaging vehicle for change. Whether you're a seasoned player or someone who's new to the game, this initiative is designed to break down barriers to physical activity and bring the community together in a supportive, team-oriented environment.
A Partnership Rooted in Community Health:
XLFC Weight-loss Football is a growing weight-loss programme promoting fitness through 11 a-side football, particularly for adults who have struggled with traditional weight-loss methods. The programme focuses on using the sport as a tool for losing weight, with specially designed sessions that allow participants to work at their own pace while still enjoying the competitive and social aspects of the game.
What to expect from XLFC Windsor:
The XLFC Weight-loss Football programme combines football’s universal appeal and an emphasis on fitness, weight loss, and camaraderie. Here are some of the key benefits that the community will experience from this partnership:
1. Promoting Physical Fitness: Football is a fantastic cardiovascular workout, and this initiative makes it accessible to all levels of fitness. Whether you're looking to lose weight, improve your endurance, or simply get off the sofa and be more active, this programme offers the perfect opportunity to do so in a fun and engaging way. XLFC Weight-loss Football is structured to allow participants to ease into the activity gradually, reducing the risk of injury and ensuring that everyone feels comfortable.
2. Building a Supportive Community: Fitness journeys are often more successful when they are shared with others. By joining this programme, participants will become part of a supportive, non-judgmental community. The football environment fosters teamwork and cooperation, creating new friendships and a sense of camaraderie, which can make a huge difference in a person’s motivation to keep going, as they’ll have others cheering them on every step of the way.
3. Making Football Accessible to All: One of the greatest things about football is its simplicity and inclusivity. It doesn’t require expensive equipment or a long history of experience to get started. XLFC Weight-loss Football, combined with the facilities at Windsor Boys School, ensures that anyone—regardless of background, fitness level, or experience—can participate. This is a fantastic way to introduce newcomers to the sport and show them that anyone can enjoy playing football.
4. Promoting Mental Well-being: Regular physical activity like football has long been associated with improved mental health. The endorphin boost from exercise helps reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, while also improving mood and self-esteem. The social nature of the programme adds another layer of positive impact, as participants are able to share their experiences and celebrate their progress together.
5. Bringing People Back to Football: Football has a unique ability to bring people together, and this partnership is focused on re-engaging the local community with the sport. It’s easy to fall out of a fitness routine or be hesitant to get back into football, but this initiative removes those obstacles by offering a friendly, non-competitive, and low-pressure environment. Whether participants are looking to rekindle their love for the game or just want to try it for the first time, this programme provides a great opportunity to get back on the pitch.
A Collaborative Approach for Lasting Impact:

The synergy between XLFC Weight-loss Football and Windsor & Eton Football Club is not just about fitness; it’s about creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Through teamwork, support, and the shared love of football, the partnership is about strengthening community bonds and encouraging individuals to take charge of their health.
Windsor & Eton FC has long been a central hub in the local area, and their commitment to community outreach is a perfect match for XLFC’s mission. This partnership is a testament to the power of collaboration, with both organisations bringing their expertise to the table to make a real difference in people's lives. Windsor & Eton FC Co-Chairman Mark Cooper had this to say about the partnership:
“We’re delighted to announce this partnership with XLFC which will see more and more local people get together in a great cause. Getting out on the pitch will bring healthier, happier lifestyles for those who take part which aligns itself perfectly with our core values as a community club. ”
The collaboration between XLFC Weight-loss Football and Windsor & Eton Football Club is much more than just a fitness programme—it’s a community initiative that makes football accessible, fun, and beneficial to everyone. By combining the power of football with a supportive, health-focused approach, this partnership is paving the way for a more active, connected, and healthier community.
If you’re looking to get fit, lose weight, and rediscover the joy of football, look no further! The time to get active and embrace a healthier lifestyle is now, and with the help of XLFC and Windsor & Eton FC, the journey has never been more exciting.
