Mission and Principles:
F3: Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
Mission: To plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
The core principles of F3 are that it is always:
1. Free of charge
2. Open to all men
3. Held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
4. Led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary. You versus you. Modify or stop an exercise if you need to. The most important thing is that nobody gets hurt.
5. Ends with a Circle of Trust
Credo: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him

The Six – Manchester

LDP3

Ball of Man

Spreadsheets from the Gloom: Beautiful weather for a beatdown, but the beatdown was horrible enough to make it onto Norm’s hardest of 2025 list. A culmination of a number of horrible exercises and two horrible MOTs. Starting off with the 20 reps made the first round particularly brutal with everything hurting about 10 minutes in. Full body after full body after full body.

Format was good though. And timing. The leader completed the round of 5 burpees on the way up, so it would probably be doable without the mosey to and from the hill. Might be doable at The Gauntlet hill due to it’s closer proximity and lower vertical gain. Or the distance of the murder bunny could be reduced by 10m.

PAX “rocked” out to lullaby renditions of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as we basked in the warm glow of the morning moonlight. Definitely made me miss my crib at the time.
