About

Introduction to F3 Nation

F3 — our three Fs stand for Fitness, Fellowship and Faith — traces its roots to a free, participant-led boot camp workout held on Saturday mornings at a Charlotte, N.C. park since 2006. The co-founders of F3 are David Redding, “Dredd,” and Tim Whitmire, “OBT,” who launched their first Saturday workout on 1/1/11 on the campus of A.G. Middle School in Charlotte.

Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.

TestimonialS

"Three and a half years into my F3 journey, I'm in the best shape of my life. Due to the accountability of my brothers and the level of consistency that they motivate me to achieve, I've finally been able to build muscle and see results from exercise for the first time in my life."

"My favorite thing about F3 is the relaxed atmosphere – as in – no one takes themselves too seriously. I don’t think I’ve been through a workout where we haven’t been telling jokes or stories. It makes it (almost) enjoyable to wake up so damn early to post. We know how to push each other, but we also know how to have fun."

"F3 to me is about fellowship, challenging yourself and pushing yourself to be a little better each time out. I was working out regularly before I joined but was doing it by myself which can be challenging to stay motivated. When I found F3 it was a new outlet for me with a great group of guys who challenge one another every time out. The experience that comes from leading a workout is something that I had never thought about - but find very fulfilling as well."

"When I came to my first F3 workout I was in terrible shape and substantially overweight, but the guys pushed me to be better! F3 has transformed all aspects of my life, and now I'm possibly in the best shape of my adult life and it's only getting better!"

"I heard about F3 through a random social media post. Finding out that we had a F3 group right here in Indian Valley, I posted a couple days later on a chilly dark Wednesday morning in March. I was positively surprised by the group workout and have been challenged physically every week since then. But F3 goes farther than just getting in shape. The combination of the constantly changing workout, team accountability, fellowship, and community involvement has been the success of this group."

"Since I have retired from the Marine Corp it's been hard to stay in shape like I used to. I would try different gyms, classes and random workout videos but it always lacked someone holding me accountable. With F3, I have a great group of guys that have quickly turned into friends and who hold each other accountable to be at these workouts. It’s not just for yourself but for the person next to you. Seeing results in yourself and your friends is pretty awesome!"
