More than a workout
About F3
What Is F3?
The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.
F3 offers free, peer-led, workout groups, open to men of all fitness levels, held outdoors (rain or shine). While men are certainly pushed to get better physically, most guys keep coming back because of the friendships and comradery built by getting up early and putting in the work.
The three Fs in F3 stand for Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith, but F3 is open to men of all faiths (or no faith), and the closing prayer/shout-out is generally the only faith-specific component of a workout.
The Five Core Principles
Free of Charge
Never pay to workout, ever.
Open to All Men
No matter the man, you are welcome here.
Held Outdoors
Rain or shine, hot or cold, we are out there.
Peer Led
Leading each other in a rotating fashion.
Ends with a COT
Always ends with a Circle of Trust.
The Three Fs
1st F — Fitness
Physical fitness is the foundation. We meet early, we push each other, and we get better every day. Workouts are designed to challenge all fitness levels.
2nd F — Fellowship
Through shared challenge, we build authentic relationships. Coffee runs, meals, and community events deepen the bond formed in the gloom.
3rd F — Faith
F3 men are called to lead — in their families, workplaces, and communities. The third F challenges us to live with purpose beyond ourselves.
