[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]Good morning and welcome to February 14th and Day 45 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, February 14th in n AD 269, Saint Valentine of Rome died. The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honor of Saint Valentine who was imprisoned for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire in the third century.
According to an early tradition (and Wikipedia), “Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his jailer. Numerous later additions to the legend have better related it to the theme of love: an 18th-century embellishment to the legend claims he wrote the jailer’s daughter a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution; another addition posits that Saint Valentine performed weddings for Christian soldiers who were forbidden to marry.”
Either way, we’re loving Saint Valentine’s legacy of showing affection to those who need it most… even when sometimes those who need it most may be our own spouses! We’re celebrating Saint Valentine’s impact with our song of the day, The Spencer Davis Group’s ‘Gimme Some Lovin’, which feels like a celebration to us!

💥 1,000 Classes & Counting 💥
Help us give a HUGE shoutout to our newest members to join the 1,000 Class Club… Eileen & Emily Turkot
emturkot eileen.210
These twin powerhouses bring the energy, the grit, and just the right amount of sibling rivalry to keep things interesting 😏
You’ll find Emily consistently putting in the work at the 5am class, showing up day after day with her crew and setting the tone early.
Meanwhile, Eileen keeps us on our toes—dropping into different class times throughout the day and making her presence known wherever she goes 💪
No matter the time, one thing is always guaranteed… they’re bringing the intensity. Easily two of the most competitive (and fun) athletes in the gym, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
1,000 classes is no small feat—it’s consistency, commitment, and a whole lot of hard work over the years.
We’re so proud of you both and lucky to have you as part of the CFB community ❤️💙

“I thought I generally ate pretty well – not ideally, but not poorly. But I didn’t really like the way my body looked and felt tired a lot, so I thought I’d sign up for the CFB Nutrition Challenge to get a taste of what healthier eating could do for me.
WOW – I had NO idea!
Fat fell off me like I took a blowtorch to it – while I retained muscle. I felt so much better and had more energy – and didn’t feel like I was depriving myself of anything! I signed up for personalized coaching and in a few months Lauren helped me turn all those changes into permanent, sustainable habits (and results!).”

Huge shoutout to Will Hanlon on getting his FIRST EVER ring muscle-up during 26.2! 💪🔥
willhanlon1
Will has been a dedicated member of CFB for the past few years and truly embodies what it means to trust the process. He shows up, puts in the work, and keeps improving year after year.
Moments like this don’t happen overnight — they’re the result of consistency, effort, and refusing to quit when things get hard. Watching Will hit that first ring muscle-up during the Open was such a proud coach moment.
So pumped for you, Will. This is just the beginning! 👊

Week 2 of the CFB Intramural Open is officially in the books and 26.2 did not disappoint. This one tested everything — grip, lungs, pacing, and a little bit of grit when those pull-ups started getting spicy. The gym was loud, the efforts were huge, and we saw some awesome breakthroughs!
Current Team Standings After Week 2
🥇 “Thrust Issues” – 204 points
🥈 “Red, White & Swole” – 175 points
🥉 “Squat Squad” – 163 points
4️⃣ “Smells Like Team Spirit” – 145 points
Still plenty of points left on the table in Week 3…
Don’t forget this week’s theme is Tie Dye!
And to sweeten the pot anyone who works out at Friday night lights will earn 5 points for their team!
