Primary Announcements

IronPAX Challenge is HERE!

Message from the Nantan of F3 Seattle to his pax was this:

  1. REGISTER- all PAX should register, this is a positive way to include ALL PAX in a challenge and support one another.
  2. COMMIT- commit to doing the Iron Pax workout every week.  As always, you can modify as necessary and I sure will be doing that as these are crazy intense. 
  3. FINISH- Doing a challenge, committing and finishing is great for the individual PAX and collectively for ALL the PAX  and your community.  Shows us all we can do hard things and overcome together. 

…Let’s be #ALLIN!

What is IronPAX??

It’s  “You vs You” type challenge.  F3 Greenwood will design workouts for 5 weeks (week 0-4) during the month of September.  All F3 Nation men who want to participate will do the same workout for that given week.  Q just needs to lead it. Lots of coupon workouts included.
