Holy City F3, a free peer-led fitness leadership group for men celebrated its 10-year anniversary with a special workout on the deck of the USS Yorktown at 7 am on Saturday, March 11th.
“Our nation is facing an epidemic,” said John Lambert the CEO of F3 Nation who traveled down from Charlotte for the event. “As a country we are facing an epidemic of loneliness, broken families, and obesity. F3 holds the cure,” said Lambert.
John Clendaniel, an elementary school principal and Jed Wiseman, former Navy Seal – both members of Holy City F3 – lead the workout. More than 360 men and their families participated in the workout. Some traveled in from all across the state for the event.
“The turn out exceeded our expectations,” said Ian Anderson the head of F3 Charleston.
F3 started in 2011 in Charlotte, N.C., and has grown to more than 46 states and 3,600 scheduled workouts each week. F3 stands for fitness, fellowship and faith and welcomes men of all fitness levels, faith backgrounds, and physical abilities to their workouts.
“F3 is a leadership development group disguised as a workout,” said Ian Anderson the head of F3 Charleston. “All men are welcome to show up to a workout and strengthen their body. But they will soon find that they were created to lead, love, and serve their families and their communities. We are making real life change in the low country by encouraging men to live for something bigger than themselves,” said Anderson.
