F3 Columbus

What part was your favorite?

Iron sharpens iron.

This week, nearly 50 F3 Columbus men had the incredible opportunity to train inside the Ohio State Wrestling room alongside former Buckeye coach “Hat Trick” and hear from Head Coach Tom Ryan.

We traded our normal bootcamp for a wrestling-inspired workout that challenged every part of us—physically, mentally, and as a team. There were no shortcuts, just hard work, encouragement, and a room full of men pushing each other to be better.

After the workout, Coach Ryan shared powerful stories about leadership, purpose, and resilience, and many of us had the chance to have his new book signed. It was a reminder that the lessons learned through sport extend far beyond the mat.

The biggest win? Seven first-timers joined us because of this unique experience. That’s what F3 is all about—using fitness, fellowship, and faith to build stronger men and invite others into the brotherhood.

A huge thank you to “Hat Trick”, Coach Ryan, and everyone at Ohio State Wrestling for opening your doors and investing in our community.

At the end, we closed the only way F3 knows how—with a Name-O-Rama.

Tag a guy you recognize… and tell us: which nickname is your favorite? 💪🔥

If you missed our previous post, we had the opportunity to do a special edition Saturday Morning Beatdown at the OSU Wrestling gym with a little talk at the end by head coach Tom Ryan.

It was a privilege to have the chance to workout in their facility and we can’t thank coach Tom for allowing us to workout alongside him and some of his staff and for sharing a bit of his story with us.

Big thanks to our guy Hat Trick for making it happen and for leading a killer workout.

Grab yourself one of Tom’s books if you haven’t already.

What an incredible morning in the gloom!

We had the privilege of stepping onto the mats for a true wrestler’s workout led by former Ohio State wrestling coach “HATTRICK.” Thanks to his continued friendship with Coach Tom Ryan, we were welcomed into an environment built on discipline, grit, and excellence.

This wasn’t your typical F3 workout—it was a chance to challenge ourselves in a whole new way, learn from experienced coaches, and experience the camaraderie that comes from pushing through something difficult together. We also had the opportunity to hear inspiring stories from Coach Tom Ryan, get our copies of his book signed, and spend time with leaders who continue to invest in the next generation.

These unique experiences are what make F3 so special. Fitness is the excuse, but fellowship, leadership, and shared experiences are what keep men coming back.

And of course… we wrapped it up the F3 way—with the Name-O-Rama!
