July 2025 - On Independence Day, more than 20 men from across the former Foothills Region—including Hickory, Five Points, District 13, and Caldwell County—converged at The Hurler in Granite Falls to celebrate freedom the F3 way.

Led by Deuce, the morning beatdown was equal parts challenging and energizing, reminding us of the physical and mental strength we build together in the gloom. It was a great display of regional unity, shared purpose, and the values that make F3—and this country—something worth showing up for.

T-claps to all the HIM who posted, and to Deuce for leading the charge.

June 2025 - F3 Five Points is excited to announce the transition of leadership as David Hayes—better known in the gloom as Applesauce—steps into the role of Nantan. In F3, the Nantan serves as the regional leader, helping guide the mission of invigorating male community leadership by setting the tone, supporting Qs, and encouraging growth both in numbers and in impact.

Applesauce has been a consistent presence and a strong example of servant leadership within our region, and we’re confident his vision and energy will help take F3 Five Points to the next level. We’re grateful for his willingness to lead, and we look forward to continuing to sharpen one another under his guidance.

Iron sharpens iron.

The Station Celebrates 8 Years of Strength, Brotherhood & Growth! 🎉💪

Eight years ago (3/7/17), a group of men gathered in the gloom for the first-ever beatdown at The Station, not knowing it would become a cornerstone of our F3 community. Since then, we've logged thousands of workouts, pushed each other through the toughest mornings, and built bonds that go far beyond fitness.

This milestone isn’t just about showing up—it’s about transforming ourselves and those around us. Whether you've been here since day one or just joined, you are part of something bigger. Here’s to many more years of iron sharpening iron!
