“F3 is a national network including 2,318 free, peer-led workouts for men. Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership…started in 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina.”

–        F3 Nation Website, 11/19/2020

“The defining characteristics of an F3 workout are that it takes place outdoors, almost always at an unpleasantly early hour; that it is led by one of the participants; and that it is physically challenging while being inclusive of all men who show up for the workout”

–        Freed To Lead (Prologue)

Be yourself. You are already here for a reason.

Keep showing up. Keep offering yourself to others.

The rest will follow.

You are Freed To Lead.

Ended in prayer. Thank you, Sky Q!
