Five Core Principles – open to all men, free of charge, always held outside, peer led in a rotating fashion, we end in circle of trust (COT).
Mission statement is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Credo is to leave no man behind but leave no man where you found him.
Announced that I wasn’t a professional and to modify exercises as needed.

COT: I shared that I have been dealing with some injuries the past few weeks and have been blown away by the support of the PAX. I received check-in calls and texts as well as those reaching out to encourage me to come for coffee or to post at their Q as they would modify so I could participate. As I reflected on the situation it brought back a lot of memories from playing sports because it was always awesome to be associated with a team. But as I have learned over time, that didn’t always mean that everyone was genuinely rooting for you because they may have been one injury away from playing time. Of course, that is a huge difference from F3 because the support and encouragement I have received from the “TEAM” hasn’t come with any alternative motivation other than caring for—and about—me. I encouraged everyone to continue to support each other as well as those important to us because my experience is proof that it has an incredible impact!
The Q “Hooah” led us in prayer.
6:20 Coffee at Starbucks
