FAQ

What is an FNG?

FNG just stands for Friendly New Guy! We love FNGs. Now ditch the excuses and show up at a workout.

Do I need to register before I show up for a workout (we call it posting)?

Absolutely not! Just show up a couple minutes early. Even better, bring a friend.

What is with the nicknames?

We have a nickname for everything. Don’t worry, you’ll get one too after you complete two F3 workouts. Our lexicon binds us together. If you want the long winded explanation, read “Freed to Lead” by Dread and OBT and they will give you the full background.

Who leads the workouts?

The “Q” will be the leader for the day. He is not a professional. He is just one of the pax who is volunteering to lead the workout for that day. After about 3 months of posting consistently, you’ll be encouraged to give Qing a shot as well!

How long do the workouts last and why do they start so early in the morning?

Typically, F3 workouts will last 45 min and start promptly at 0530. Most pax have families so we knock out our fitness, fellowship, and faith before our families are even up and ready for the day.

How do you all communicate?

Most of our communication outside of workouts happens on social media and via this website. The website includes a calendar as well as pages for preblasts (announcements for upcoming events), backblasts (an account of past workouts) and various data points regarding the workouts and men who participate. You can optionally follow @F3Isotope on X where the latest information is posted for upcoming workouts and other events. You can also join us on our Discord server where you will be able to interact with us once you have an F3-assigned nickname. Social media links can be found in the footer below.
