Welcome to F3 Greenwood.
Home of the (self proclaimed) greatest athletic competition in the ultraverse drawing the likes of engineers, machinists, and salesmen many of whom double as Olympic athletes in their down time.
Our mission is to bring out the best physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of all men, and fuel their competitive nature.
All our workouts are free of charge. That’s right, we don’t charge. Our workouts are also open to all men of all ages and all fitness levels (that’s a lot of “alls”). You do not have to “get in shape” to participate in a F3 Greenwood workout. Lastly, the workouts are always held outdoors — rain or shine, hot or cold.
What is the IPC?
A little over 5 years ago some of the men of F3 Greenwood were sitting around at coffeteria, boasting of their athletic prowess. That conversation – “he can run faster than me but I can do more pull-ups than him” – led these men to thinking of what it would take to create a local competition to see just who was the best PAX in the Region. Pretty soon, the challenge went from being a local challenge to a national one.
After a few rounds of sugar free vanilla soy lattes and nonfat, mocha frappuccinos with whip, the IronPAX Challenge (IPC) was born.
Knowing that men are competitive by nature, the IPC is intended to challenge all men of F3 Nation by requiring you to perform to a strict standard. Historically, the challenge takes place during the month of Semptember and consists of four, weekly workouts.
At it’s core, the IPC is a “You vs You” competition, designed to push you beyond what you think you can do.
Why Do It?
Short Answer – Because it unifies your region.
Long Answer – It brings out the best in all of us by emphasizing the “picking up the 6” mentality. It pushes men to get out of their comfort zone and complete a tougher-than-usual workout to an exact standard and then circle back to do even more work so every man finishes together.
It’s a CSAUP event that lures in the FNGs and welcomes back the Kotters.
Who Can Do It?
Every man can do it.
The workouts are hard, but there are ways to modify. We want each man to complete each week of the challenge. It’s all about what you can do and how you can get better.
