What happened to Club 345? Simply...growth. When Club 345 started, the region was small. We had weekday options with one Saturday option - Mothership. As the region grew, we expanded into a Sunday option followed by more Sunday options. This left Club 345 with quite the predicament - adapt or don't. At the time, Sunday attendance was sparse, so it was left alone. But, the region continued to grow in all ways. More PAX, more locations, more square miles of AO coverage. As a result, more Saturday options planted and 1F activity was accelerating.
By this point 345 was a stepping stone as PAX created their own add-ons. The Q345 required a PAX Q all 345 minutes of their 345. The simple 390 added the Sunday BC. The 405 added the Sunday BC and one of the week's 60 minute options. My favorite, of course, was the exclusive 495 where PAX added a double dip on Sunday and Wednesday with the 60 minute option during the week. Dont even get me started on the pre-runs, pre-rucks, pre-burpees, and the OTB chicanery of March Madness 2025 where we had PAX pushing into the 600s with daily double dips. Only Try-Cycle's mind could contrive such madness.
In 2025, with the adoption of the tri-Pod F3Memphis structure, the Pods were confidently sustaining 32 AOs across 7 days of strong BC options. So there stood AO Mothership, the proud patriarch of the Memphis region, the AO that started it all. It branched off into 40+ other AOs and help start half a dozen regions. It was the home of 8 years of anniversary convergences and challenge finales. It knew its time had come to unearth its shovel flag and retire. With Club 345 inseparably attached to Mothership, it only felt right to retire both together. Club 345 remains as an emblem of F3Memphis' success.
Club 345...To some, it was nothing. To others, it was everything. It was very likely something in between.
The entry fee was simple: In a calendar week, join us for:
5 weekday 45-minute workouts (one each day Mon–Fri),
The 60-minute ruck before Saturday’s bootcamp workout, and
Saturday’s 60-minute bootcamp workout.
That’s 345 minutes of 1stF.
