The Mission of F3 Nation is to “plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.” Fitness brings the guys in, but fellowship keeps them coming back. I know I can count on my brothers in the best and worst of times. Through F3, I found what so many lack: true friends. Faith and living third through service unlocks our leadership capabilities. I’m a better man when I serve others.
Our core principles are simple:
It’s free. All it costs is your effort.
It’s open to all men. Full stop. All means all.
It’s outdoors, rain or shine. The elements make you durable.
It’s led on a rotating fashion by your peers. No certifications necessary. When you lead, we follow.
Finally, it ends in a COT. The COT is what separates us from workout groups. In the COT, it doesn’t matter if you were the fastest or if you had the best form, all that matters is that you care for the guy next to you. I think our world could use a lot more COT.
The Credo of F3 is “leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him.” We pick up the six at every workout, but it doesn’t stop there. These men will walk beside you when you’re high on the mountain or low in the valley. We are there for each other physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. These men are there when it matter – always.
The mission, credo, and core principles are simple and if we follow them, we can change the world, one man at a time. So strap in, hold on, and enjoy the ride. If you stick with it, you’ll be the man your family and community deserves. And you might have a little fun on the ride!
Aye!
