I live in West Houston and about 6 months ago I was invited by a friend to get up early and come join the group for a workout. I declined... too early.

Then in January, my buddy hit me up to come out on a Saturday am when they meet at 6:30. I had nothing going on so I said, sure.. I'll come.. and haven't looked back.

Anybody else already in F3? Share your story to encourage others to join.

If not, here's what it's about:

  • men only
  • always free - it's volunteer lead each time
  • meets in public locations
  • rain or shine
  • no equipment necessary
  • each group has 10-20 guys - when they get up to 30, they split and add a new location
  • there are some groups that meet and do Sandbag/Ruck work as bonus

There are about 30 groups that meet all over Houston, and over 2,600 groups that meet across the USA.
Each workout is lead by a different attendee and unique to keep it fresh and fun - think burpees, pushups, sit-ups, then run across the parking lot and do dips and calf raises on the curb, then run around a cone and do mountain climbers and bear crawls, etc - 45 minute workouts that usually start at 5:30 am weekdays and 6:30 am on Saturdays.
This is not CrossFit - it's regular guys meeting up 3-4 times a week.

F3 stands for Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. www.F3Nation.com to see more.

Ask me any questions you might have- I'd love to encourage others to join us out there.

Many people do - but I'd be happy to connect you with someone at the group closest to you. Which one looks best and I'll help out for sure.

There is a group that meets in Memorial Park -

On the www.f3nation.com website click on Locations and it will show you the locations on a map all across the US. Note though... not all groups are listed as they have to go for a few months to fully establish before they 'Launch'.

I post at Memorial Park/The Hogg regularly. That is the original Houston location. The map and schedule online is accurate. We have a new location getting started this week in West Houston, in the Energy Corridor that I will likely be at most of the time until it is established, but would be happy to meet you at memorial Park if you decide to come on out.

You can, but let me and nosoupforyou know and one of us will meet you so you have a friendly face early in the morning. Lots Ags at some of the locations, especially Katy, Friendswood, few others.

Wait just finished reading OP. Does the actual workout have a religious bent to it?


It's like AA.. male community leadership is the focus and it's good to acknowledge a higher power - bigger than you.

we finish with a prayer but I assure you many guys are Christian and many are not - all are respected and that's very important.

Anything in clear lake/south shore?


Just checked - there is a group in Deer Park, Pearland, Friendswood, and League City.. and there may be 'off the books' groups that haven't made the website yet

At my group at there are about 35 guys that are around and 5 are 50 or above ... including one that is 61!

But most are 30's and 40's.. not sure actual age average to be honest

No complaints please guys.. interest or just move on

Where you guys meet - I'd like to try it out.

I see it says "Kickball Field" on the website - I'm guessing that's where

We meet in the first parking lot right where the drop pin is. It is surprisingly accurate. We circle up in the grass right there to the north or the first parking lot.

I am going between a couple different locations, so let me know when you want to show up so there be at least one Ag out there. We have a few, but I never know who is showing up.

Bridgepoint Bible Church - we will always meet in their south parking lot, and then sometimes run over to Terry Hershey Park since it's so close. they have a great hill to do some work on.

That group has been going Off the Books for a month or two on Saturdays only - but starts Tue/Thu/Sat schedule this Saturday. I'll be out there Saturday at 6:30 - come on!
