Started in 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina, F3 has grown to more than 30 states and 2,000+ scheduled workouts a week through the volunteer efforts of men whose lives have been changed by their involvement with the group. The three Fs in their name stand for Fitness, Fellowship and Faith — the last of which they define as not one specific religion or faith system, but simply a belief in something outside oneself. Participants range in age from the 4-, 5- and 6-year-olds who participate in F3 Dads workouts each summer to men in their 60s and 70s — and even one in his 80s!
