Tips for your first workout (We call it posting)​

So, you got past our favorite excuses and decided to participate? Greatness.

We do not show up at F3 for ourselves. We show up for the man standing beside each of us.

Here is one undeniable truth that I know about each of us, we need authentic relationships with other men who are working to be strong fathers, husbands and leaders. Isolation will destroy a man! We have the opportunity to change our community and the trajectory of our families.  Getting in the best shape of your life is just a by product. The work out is the magnet, the relationships and community with other men will keep bringing you back. Lock shields with us and help us accomplish F3’s mission to invigorate male leadership in our community.

  • Take it Easy and Modify

     When you are first starting, it is important to remember to MODIFY as needed during the beatdowns. If you want to go harder - go harder. If you have not exercised in a long time, slow down. Don’t hurt yourself or even worse, get discouraged. Just show up, work hard and give it your best. That is all that matters. We are not here competing against one another. We are freaking proud of you for showing up at 5:15 AM in the morning to exercise!

Mailing List

Slack is our primary communication tool (we'll set you up after your first workout), but we also send our emails periodically, usually about upcoming events or other major announcements.

Social Media

Facebook-f Instagram Envelope

We put most of our Social Media effort into Instagram and Facebook – if you’re on these channels, you’ll see highlights from various activities we’re involved with, or promotions for upcoming events. Every location (or as we call it AO) has it’s own Instagram Profile. Our flagship profile @F3Naperville will reshare posts.
