CoT: It’s one thing to workout by yourself, but a whole new event working out with each other, and in the sight of God. Isaiah 40:28-31

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

F3 facilitates true growth of ourselves physically (so we can run and not be wear, and walk and not faint), but also spiritually.

CoT:

Matthew 6:7: “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathens, for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”

This applies to repetitions of an exercise: do not do vain repetitions

Vain repetition = sacrificing form to get more reps

Rather, cut back on your reps if you need to modify the exercise.

This applies also in life—be genuine and put in a real effort rather than just putting in a show. Focus on self-improvement, not your vanity.
