“Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him. ”

Podcast Synopsis

David Redding (DRedd), a lawyer, and his close friend Tim Whitmire cofounded a fitness group called F3 Fitness. Starting back in 2011 the group was located in North Carolina and started off immediately overflowing the capacity. The group quickly split into 3 workout groups and has continued to grow in a similar fashion.

DRedd grew up in Connecticut and attended Boston University where he was apart of the ROTC program. After that David moved down south and did 9 years in the army, half infantry and half special forces. After that he attended Wake Forest Law School where he met his wife.

F3 is a an incredible network of workouts for men that spans all over the nation. Their mission is to grow to serve small workout groups for men and to cultivate male community and leadership. It had started out in North Carolina in 2011 and quickly grew to more than 26 states and 1,400 workouts a week. The three Fs stand for FITNESS, FELLOWSHIP and FAITH (defined as not one faith system or religion, but a belief in something outside yourself).

Ranging from 5-year-olds up to 70-year-olds, the group continues to grow and workout together. Their workouts are free and open to all men. They are held outdoors regardless of the weather and are led by men who participate in the workouts. The leaders rotate and do not require any certification to lead.

Their credo: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.

See you on the water,
