Hi Friendly New Guy!

What did you think FNG stood for?

You may have heard about us through your friends, family, neighborhood, community center, school, place of worship, wherever… and now you’re here looking for more info. Check out the resources below for information.

If you still have questions Contact Us or just ask any of the guys and they’ll help or point you in the right direction!

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 byproduct. For those of us who have experienced F3 firsthand, the workout was why we first showed up, but the relationships and community with other men are what keep us coming back. Lock shields with us and help us accomplish F3’s mission to invigorate male leadership in the Mooresville community.

Fitness. Fellowship. Faith.

 Tips for your first workout (we call it posting)

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

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 we know – we need authentic relationships with other men who are working to be strong fathers, husbands and leaders. Isolation will destroy a man! 

Now a few tips for your first workout:

  1. 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 5:30in the morning to exercise!

  2. Be sure to check out the About Us.

  3. Read our disclaimer, then simply pick a place to post.

  4. Visit our Locations to see what site works best for you. It may be in another region.

  5. Check out the Lexicon. We have a nickname for everything we do. The Lexicon will serve as a handy cheat sheet when you want to know the difference between a Snotwoggler and a Starsky or between a Happy Clown and Humblechatter.

  6. All you need to bring is an open mind and a positive attitude. Wear your regular outdoor workout clothes and, unless you have farmer hands, consider bringing a pair of gloves.

  7. If you are not meeting a friend at your first post, simply show up and introduce yourself as an FNG. You’ll be welcomed.

  8. Sign up for Twitter. Follow @F3Nation, follow @F3RaceCity, and follow your fellow PAX.

  9. Get on Slack . It’s our preferred method of communication between the PAX. Slack is available in all major apps store. Once you download it, get with Mailman, CheezWhiz for further instructions.

  10. If you’re someone who’s interested in building deeper friendships and giving back to the Mooresville community, check out and attend a 2nd F (Fellowship) or 3rd F event.

  11. Ask us any questions we didn’t cover.
