Your First Workout

Every guy at every AO (that's F3 shorthand for a workout location) was once exactly where you are right now. Here's all you need to know.

1

Browse the schedule below and pick any workout, any morning. There's no wrong one to start with.

After you post, the PAX (that's F3 shorthand for the other guys at the workout) will hang an F3 name on you. That's the moment you stop being an FNG — a "Friendly New Guy."

Weather was perfect, 12 PAX in attendance including 1 FNG. Started with SSH and a mosey to the flag. Ran through a full round of Merkins, Mountain Climbers, and Monkey Humpers before splitting into two lines for an Indian Run. Closed out COT with prayers for the Jones family. Great work today, PAX — iron sharpens iron.

Community Impact

F3 isn't just the workout. Every year, the HIMs (High Impact Men) of The Fort put their miles where their mission is.

100K
Dam to Dam Relay
Since 2019, PAX from The Fort have run the Dam to Dam Relay — 100 kilometers from Lake Murray Dam to Lake Greenwood Dam, SC, in teams sharing a van over 8–10 hours — to raise money for the community. More than $100,000 raised to date.
$1,500
F3 Fort Mill Community Scholarship
Awarded every year to two graduating seniors at each Fort Mill district high school — for students balancing the role of student and citizen. Administered through the Foundation for Fort Mill Schools.

This year's fundraising benefits Fort Mill Care Center and the F3 Scholarship program.
