[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Welcome to This Day in Barrington History” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]Welcome to January 23rd and Day 23 of 365 in Barrington, Illinois! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage.
Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.
On this day, January 23rd in 1988, The California Raisins’ Motown Classic “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” peaks at #84 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown Records, the song was first recorded by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles in 1966, released a single by Gladys Knight and the Pips in 1967 followed by Marvin Gaye’s version in 1968. Remember when “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” got new life in 1987, when it was used in commercials for California Raisins, with claymation raisins performing the song?
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Song of the Day” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]In addition to boosting raisin sales, the California Raisins became an ’80s fad and were the most popular Halloween costume that year.
Because I’m on sort of a Creedence Clearwater Revival kick, I thought I’d also share their version, first recorded for their 1970 album, Cosmo’s Factory, ultimately reaching 43 on Billboard’s chart. I could listen to this version on repeat!

This weekend was something special. 💪🔥
A huge congratulations to Pat Cavanaugh, Beth Schenck, and Teri Rahn for taking on the CrossFit Semifinals this weekend! Over the course of 3 days, they stepped outside of their comfort zones and into the gym to complete 5 incredibly challenging workouts against some of the fittest athletes in their divisions.
Watching them compete with determination, heart and laughs was so much fun and such an inspiration to our entire community. The amount of hard work, consistency, and dedication it takes to get to this level is incredible, and they represented CrossFit Barrington so well all weekend long.
We are so proud of all three of you for showing up, pushing your limits, and embracing the challenge. 👏❤️

What is a coach? 🤍
Coach (noun): a person who teaches, trains, and guides others to improve their performance.
At CrossFit Barrington, it goes way beyond that.
A coach is watching your last squat like it matters—because it does.
It’s fixing your form before you even know something’s off.
It’s pushing you when you can, and pulling you back when you should.
But the real answer?
A coach doesn’t stop caring when class ends.
We’re thinking about you when you’re not here.
When life gets heavy.
When you lose someone.
When you get a new job or position.
When you’re on vacation.
When your kid makes the dance team.
When you hit a PR… or when you don’t.
We celebrate you. We worry about you. We believe in you—sometimes before you believe in yourself.
At CrossFit Barrington, these humans right here?
They don’t just coach workouts.
They care deeply. They show up fully. And they would do anything for the people in this community.
So yeah… we’re not working out next to you in class.
We’re doing something even more important.
