Leadership

Becoming a Q

The Q is the workout leader. In F3, every PAX is expected to eventually step up and Q. It's one of the core principles that makes F3 work — we're peer-led, not instructor-led.

Leading a workout requires: planning a beatdown, reading the Disclaimer at the start, leading the warm-o-rama, the thang, and the Mary — then closing with the COT.

New to Q'ing? The Q101 guide walks you through every step. Your first Q will be one of the most rewarding things you do in F3.

Workout Structure

The Beatdown

1
Disclaimer

Q reads the standard F3 disclaimer. PAX acknowledge and assume responsibility.

2
Warm-O-Rama

Dynamic warm-up exercises to prep the body — SSH, Hillbillies, Grass Grabbers, etc.

3
The Thang

The main workout — the Q's creative combination of running, calisthenics, and exercises.

4
Mary

Cool-down core work — ab exercises contributed by PAX to close out the beatdown.

5
Circle of Trust (COT)

Announcements, prayer/reflection, FNG naming, and closing the workout as a community.
