Main Content

F3 is a Nation-Wide collective of local small men’s workout groups. Our Northwest Indiana region, called F3 ‘North Wind’ (or NWIND), started in 2014. We are one of the longest-running midwest regions, starting from a PAX who moved to northwest IN from the Charlotte area where F3 Nation originated. We currently operate boot camp style, running, and ruck-based workouts as well as some recreational activities like ultimate frisbee, football, and street hockey from time to time. We have weekly meet ups in Crown Point, St. John, Highland, and Munster.

If you’re looking to attend your 1st F3 workout, feel free to simply show up, no RSVP needed! We keep the schedule up to date on the website, and you can simply click the Date/Time below the ‘This Week At A Glance’ section under the corresponding Location and receive a link to navigate to the EXACT meeting point via Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze. It’s an awesome free tool, use it! If you’re looking for some info, have questions, or are visiting from another F3 region, hit up Gummy Bear @219-777-0916.

We look forward to seeing you in the gloom soon!
