Welcome To
F3 Meramec

Free and open to all men.

Yes, free as in no cost. There’s no joining fee, monthly membership or expenses in the fine print. No catch. And we welcome men of all sizes, ages, athletic abilities, colors and creeds. Seriously. You are welcome here.

The Mission

F3’s mission is "To plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership."

Fitness

The first F represents physical fitness. F3 provides free, peer-led workouts that improve participants' health and strength. Fitness is the foundation of the F3 experience.

Fellowship

The second F is about building strong relationships and camaraderie with other men. Beyond working out together, F3 emphasizes forming bonds of friendship and support.

Faith

The third F represents faith, which F3 defines as belief in something greater than oneself. It’s not tied to any specific religion but focuses on a purpose that goes beyond the individual, encouraging personal and communal growth.

AOs

Area of Operations: The place where F3 participants gather for their fitness sessions.

Core Principles

The 5 Core Principles of F3 are the foundational elements that guide the organization and its workouts. They ensure that every F3 event is structured to be accessible, impactful, and focused on building leadership, fitness, and community.

Neighboring F3 Regions

The Starfish Model

Starfishing is F3 lingo for cutting a limb that grows into its own being. As more and more PAX join F3, and we add more and more Areas of Operations (AOs), it serves the PAX best – and drives maximum 2nd and 3rd F opportunities – to separate into manageable sized regions.

The OG for Missouri, the Saint Louis region has grown from 5 PAX to well into the four-figure range since 2017. Starting out with just one AO (“The Huck” in Clayton”), the Saint Louis area just keeps experiencing explosive growth, as seen by all the regions below that have been spun off in the past few years. With scores of AOs spanning St. Louis County, St. Louis City and the surrounding areas in both Missouri and Illinois, there are surely workout groups to serve you.
