FREE, PEER-LED
OUTDOOR WORKOUTS
FOR MEN
Planting, growing, and serving small workout groups to invigorate male community leadership in South Charlotte.
OUR FOUNDATION
THE THREE Fs OF F3
Fitness is the magnet, Fellowship is the glue, and Faith is the purpose.
1. Fitness
Workouts take place outdoors in all weather conditions—rain, shine, heat, or snow. Led in rotation by participants, workouts adapt to all fitness levels.
2. Fellowship
Strong bonds formed in the Gloom bleed over into 2nd F lunches, coffee socials, and genuine male friendship that combats isolation.
3. Faith
Defined simply as belief in something bigger than yourself. We empower men to give back and lead in their families, workplaces, and local communities.
MORE THAN A WORKOUT.
A BROTHERHOOD.
Every morning in the Gloom, hundreds of South Charlotte men gather free of charge to sweat, hold each other accountable, and build lasting friendships that extend far beyond the workout.
