🚗💨 We’re sliding back up Garners Ferry Hill to scope out two bootcamp AOs: Iron Yard and Woodshed.

AOQ Iron Yard: Julian “Teddy” Montague
AOQ Woodshed: Sid “Kenny G” Tyner

Here’s the vibe: 2 AOs, same spot, running it 4 days a week. Lowkey unbeatable.

Iron Yard is our dog-friendly 🐕 King of the Kettlebell AO, out at Woodlands Park getting those KBS reps in like it’s leg day every day.

Woodshed, an OG since 2014, also throws down at Woodlands Park—bringing the pain and the playlist 🎶 with a wild combo of bodyweight grinders and element-assisted chaos.

Pull up if you’re tryna get that work. 💪 Link in the bio fam

Come with us to one of the worst intersections in Columbia - that’s right, we said it - to meet our next two AOs - SCORE and Amble

AOQ SCORE - David 'Prenup' Shea
AOQ Amble - Ryan “Selfie” Martel

SCORE, founded in 2014, meets at Dreher High for a bootcamp beatdown that’ll have you farming aura points with your bussin new bod. Peep the gains as you pump out body weight exercises, yeet KBs and dom some bricks and concrete blocks.

If you are looking for a more mobile option, then give Amble a try. Founded in 2013, Amble meets on Monday and Wednesday at the Earth Fare on Devine and at the Eggs Up Grill on Devine Street on Fridays providing run, walk or ruck options through the Melrose Heights and Shandon neighborhood. You’ll meet some absolute legends of F3 Columbia and enjoy good coffee and good conversation at Starbucks afterward. If you were a runner and want to get back on that horse or you want to try out becoming a runner, Amble is the perfect entry point!

But it really doesn’t matter which AO you choose, it just matters that you choose one. They will always be peer led, outdoors and free to all. Click the link in the bio to learn more!

Another in books for F3 Columbia! We took home sore legs, lots of empty uncrustable wrappers, fond memories…and, just like the US Women’s and Men’s Hockey Team, some hardware, too!

break out the mortar and the spade because it’s time to put another brick in

AOQ - Dan “Bootleg” Ward

The Wall, founded in 2014 and rechartered in summer 2022 by the legend himself, the Heartbreaker from Hartsville, Mike “Churchkey” Dixon, The Wall is a traveling AO here in the Midlands, and quite possibly the best way to spend a Saturday morning in America.

Gird your loins for a 10(ish) mile grueling run, featuring anything from trails to riverwalks to hills, hills and more hills, followed by a smorgasbord of post-run food and beverages. Seriously, we’ve had tajin bacon breakfast sliders, homemade cinnamon rolls, french press coffee with bourbon cream, chili and even smoked salmon. Oh, and did we mention some post-run festivities feature a hot tub?

Don’t let the prescribed distance or intensity scare you off. You can start whenever and run, walk or ruck for however long you want, just be back in time for the 0800 breakfast bell.

If you want a fun morning of fellowship or a devastating run that will push your training to the next level, or some combination thereof, then The Wall is the AO for you. As the fellas over at Jim Hudson Automotive like to say, “Experience it once and you’ll never forget it!”
