What is F3?
F3 is a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men. F3 South Cary is our local region, one of thousands of groups across F3 Nation.
Plant. Grow. Serve.
The mission of F3 is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
F3 stands for Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. It starts with a hard workout in the morning. It keeps going because of the men you meet there. Over time, guys who came to get in shape find themselves leading workouts, then leading in their families, jobs, and communities.
Nobody is paid. Every workout is planned and led by one of the men who shows up, on a rotating basis. That's by design: leadership is a muscle, too.
Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him.

Fitness
Outdoor workouts in the gloom, six days a week in South Cary: bootcamps, runs, rucks, and kettlebells, plus CSAUPs (long, crazy challenge events). Always scalable, never alone.
Fellowship
Coffee after workouts, family gatherings, pop-up lunches, and service projects. The friendships are why guys stay.
Faith
Belief in something bigger than yourself. In South Cary, The Escalator meets Fridays after the Ritter Park workouts, and The Accelerator Saturday run includes a 3rd F topic. See the schedule, and our community service.
