NEW GUY (FNG) WELCOME GUIDE

YOUR FIRST F3 WORKOUT

Posting for the first time can feel intimidating, but every man in F3 started as an FNG. Here is everything you need to know before your first Gloom workout.

4 SIMPLE STEPS TO GET STARTED

1

Pick a Workout Location (AO)

Check out our AO Schedule to find a workout site near your home or office. Workouts run Monday through Saturday.

2

Dress for Outdoor Weather

Wear basic athletic shoes and workout clothes suitable for outdoors. In cooler months, bring glove liners or work gloves. No special gear required!

3

Arrive 5–10 Minutes Early

Introduce yourself to the guys in the parking lot as an FNG. The workout leader (Q) will give you a brief overview and introduce you to the PAX.

4

Get Named & Joined to Slack

At the Circle of Trust (COT) after the workout, the guys will ask a few fun questions about your background and assign your official F3 nickname!

Join the South Charlotte Slack Workspace

Stay connected with daily workout commits, 2nd F lunches, and prayer requests.

F3 South Charlotte uses Slack for all regional communication. After your first workout, your Q or a fellow PAX will send you an invite to join our workspace.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is F3 really 100% free?

Yes, absolutely. There are no fees, memberships, dues, or hidden costs. Ever.

What if I am out of shape?

Every workout is modified for your fitness level. You push yourself to your own personal limit, not someone else's. No man is left behind, and no man is left where he was found.

Do I need to sign up in advance?

No registration needed! Just find an AO on our Schedule page and post at the scheduled time.
