WHAT IS F3?
F3 began in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2011 and grew through men whose lives and communities were changed by showing up for one another.
The three Fs stand for Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. Faith is not tied to one religion—it is simply a belief in something bigger than yourself.
Our mission is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
