I asked some F3 Pax (Members) for their answer to this question, and here are their answers:
Red Roof – F3 Louisville Nant’an: F3 works for me because the workouts are early in the morning and they don’t interfere with work or family time. I love the comradery and accountability of the F3 pax all working to get better together. Plus, after an F3 workout the rest of the day seems easy.
Winnebago – F3 Nation Rucking Q: I do F3 as there essential things every man needs in their life. Friendship, accountability, laughter, competition, exercise and time outdoors. F3 provides event single one in 45 minutes to an hour. My 3 best friends were met through F3.
Mad Cow – F3 Louisville Site Q: I started F3 to get in shape physically. I continue to go to F3 for the bonds that I have built with like minded men. The fitness part is great but it’s the second F that keeps me coming back.
Banjo – F3 Carpex Leader: The encouragement and support we share is beyond comparison, whether it be my “prior”….gym rat circles, spin class, or running buddies. There is no way to fake it; we see each other’s shortcomings, rip apart the excuses, and build each other up, mostly with good natured ribbing and mumble chatter.
Glaucoma – F3 Louisville Site Q: F3 gives me a sense of community and friendship. I am in my 30’s do not live in the town I grew up in and don’t have a profession that creates a lot of close relationships. To create solid relationships with others is hard particularly as we get older and have children. F3 has given me opportunity to create those relationships and fill a large void that was missing in my life.
Zartan – F3 Louisville Grow Q: I never liked to work out alone so I made excuses to not work out. Now I make excuses to work out more because that’s where my friends are.
Barney Fife – F3 Birmingham Nant’an: Short answer: It’s all about the Fellowship. If you just want to workout, there are many ways to get that done. But the camaraderie in F3 is unmatched.
Zoolander – F3 Louisville Site Q: I joined F3 because 2 guys I respect asked me repeatedly. So I went for the 1stF—fitness. I have stayed and recruited others because of the other 2F’s. I now have deep bonds with men I used to just nod at in passing,…and with men I didn’t even know a year ago. It’s one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received. And it’s so fun! I laugh at every post. Every single one.
Wham! – F3 Louisville Site Q: It’s a one stop shop for becoming a better man in every aspect of your life.
Kilo – F3 Louisville Rucking Q: First to get fit. Then because I knew it was making me a better father husband and member of the community. I knew I needed F3 to get me in shape. I didn’t know I needed F3 to help me in all other aspects of life.
Digiorno – F3 Louisville Site Q: I was HL’d by a good friend. I had no idea what this F3 was…so I did some research. I then talked to the M about it and went to my first workout. Holy crap was I out of shape. My first impression, this is for every type of guy out there and I was a guy trying to get better starting from the back of the PAX. Like most of us, I was there to get fit and stronger. I soon found that this was the thing that I was needing but did not know it…this is almost actually cliché within F3. I have found that companionship and purpose that I know now I wanted. This is truly more that a workout. The responsibility I take on within the PAX as a Site Q is something I look forward to everyday. These HIM are my brothers.
Star Child – F3 Louisville Leader: Because I got a cool nickname.
Abacus – F3 Louisville Site Q: I heard about F3, then watched some videos, and thought that looks like a tough workout and way to test myself. Like most guys I came for the fitness. I quickly figured out that F3 was answering a question I wasn’t ready to admit I had been asking for a long time…”what’s my purpose”. The Fellowship of F3 provides countless examples of other men working hard to do the best they can and get better. Last my Faith ebs and flows but witnessing what gets done because of the Faith of this group has illustrated to me power of strong Faith. In short F3 let’s me be me!
Frosty- F3 Lake Norman/F3 Louisville Launch Leader: I’ve joined many health clubs but they never stuck. I initially started F3 for the fitness but it’s the fellowship and accountability that keeps me coming back. There is nothing like it. Rain or shine I can always count on my F3 brothers being there.
Here’s a quote that’s been attributed to me, CI, perhaps undeservedly: F3 has become something I didn’t know that I needed.
We all look forward to hearing from you Lexingtonians in a couple of months why you do F3. You’ll find it to be much more than a workout.
