GET RIGHT: The F3 Workout
Fitness is the 1st F: it’s the magnet that brings men out.
Fellowship is the 2nd F: it’s the glue that keeps the Pax together. Faith is the 3rd F: it’s the dynamite that propels F3’s mission into our community.
The Mission of F3: to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
The F3 Credo: Leave no man behind. But leave no man where you found him.
Our Five Core Principles:
All F3 workouts…
• are free of charge
• are open to All Men
• are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold.
• are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary.
• end with a Circle of Trust
