New to F3?
You found the largest free fitness group in America. Here's everything you need — which is almost nothing. Show up. That's the hard part.
What is F3?
F3 is a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men. It stands for Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith — the three pillars of every F3 community.
We do not show up for ourselves. We show up for the man standing beside each of us. The workout is the magnet. The relationships and community with other men will keep bringing you back.
Lock shields with us. Help us accomplish F3's mission: to invigorate male leadership in Wichita and every community we serve.

F3 is peer-led by other men. We are not professionals and don’t know your injuries or limitations. Push yourself, but don’t hurt yourself.
Show Up
Introduce yourself as an FNG (Friendly New Guy). You will be welcomed. No sign-up. No fees. No judgment.
Modify as Needed
Too hard? Slow down. Not hard enough? Go harder. Nobody gets left behind — and nobody competes against each other.
The Lexicon
F3 has its own language. Here are the terms you'll hear on your first post.

FAQ
Do I need to be in shape to start?
No. Every fitness level is welcome. If you haven't exercised in years, start slow. We'd rather you show up out of shape than not show up at all.
What do I wear?
Standard outdoor workout clothes. If it's cold, layer up. If it might rain, bring a rain layer. Gloves for colder mornings if you don't have farmer hands.
What time do workouts start?
Most AOs start at 5:30 AM. Most Saturday sessions start at 6:30 AM. See the locations page for exact times.
Is F3 religious?
F3 is not a religious organization. The 3rd F (Faith) means living for something larger than yourself — not a specific religion. All men are welcome.
What is an FNG?
Friendly New Guy. That's you on your first post. Introduce yourself as an FNG and every man there will look out for you.
What is a beatdown?
That's what we call a workout. A Q (the leader) plans and leads the beatdown. They vary: beatdowns, rucks, strength circuits. Always outside.
