SUPPORT F3 NATION'S "ACCELERATE" CAMPAIGN
Welcome to F3 Austin! Thinking about posting for your first workout? Good call. Every man shows up wondering: "What am I walking into?" Don't worry, this quick guide will walk you through everything you need to know: how to pick a location, what to bring, and what to expect. No experience is needed, all fitness levels are welcome, and it's always FREE! Our mission is simple: We want to make sure you show up.
It’s Free, Always: There are no dues, fees, or costs. F3 is run by the men who show up.
It’s Peer-Led: Every workout is led by a different man (called The Q), not a professional instructor. This keeps it constantly varied.
It’s Outdoors: We are outside, year-round, rain or shine—in what we call "The Gloom."
It’s Men Only: All workouts are open exclusively to men, ages 18+.
Absolutely. Our workouts are scalable. This means every exercise can be modified to match your current fitness level. Whether you’re an athlete, haven't worked out in years, or recovering from an injury, the workout is designed to be challenging for you. No one is left behind.
Workouts start on time and typically last around 45 minutes. The workout consists of functional fitness, cardio, and core strength. Following the workout is our Circle of Trust (CoT) where we share announcements and a brief thought of the day, often followed by coffee and conversation.
Just the essentials:
Water: Stay hydrated, especially in Central Texas!
Gloves (Recommended): We use the ground a lot. Gloves save your hands.
Good Attitude: Show up, work hard, and enjoy the Fellowship.
We’ve answered the questions; now it's time to find a location near you in Greater Austin.
Don't wait......just pick a spot, set your alarm, and show up five minutes early. No sign-up is required.

That Tempting and Cozy Place That Keeps A Man from Posting (aka His Bed)
This is what we call you (in good fun) until you are given an F3 nickname.
Our goal: a man who leads with fitness, fellowship, and faith.
The specific park, school, or parking lot where we meet.
The process of inviting another man to F3 (the call to come out).
The final part of every workout, dedicated to announcements, and positive leadership.
A term of endearment for your spouse/significant other.
The man who prepares and leads the workout for that day.
Your offspring (e.g., "My 2.0 is playing baseball tonight").
This is what we fight against every morning. F3 is anti-Fart Sack; the goal is to get you out of it!
