Grand Opening of Hard Nocs AO

Today was the grand opening of Hard Nocs AO in nocatee and all were very much looking forward to it. Great day to get started and launch a new AO. I had planned on maybe 15 to 17 PAX but as more and more kept rolling in I was astonished at the final count of 30. Unbelievable turnout for a new AO, just goes to show how big F3 is and what it’s doing in men’s lives and our community. Bada Bing and I were honored to Q and open the new AO. Was awesome to see many PAX return that have not been around in awhile and to see everyone doing well. Look forward to this new AO and where it can go from here.

Bada Bing did the warmup and opened by talking about F3 and what it stands for and our core principles. Exercises were as follows:

SSH

the reacher

michael phelps

rocky balboas

run the stairs of the welcome center

merkins

mountain climbers
