March 14th in Barrington History

[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 March 14 and Day 73 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 in 1998, “Getting Jiggy Wit It” started a three week

Our song for today is American actor and rapper, Will Smith’s “Getting Jiggy Wit It“. The song spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart from March 14, 1998. It also won a Grammy Award in 1999 for the Best Rap Solo Performance.

The song samples the 1979 Sister Sledge song “He’s the Greatest Dancer“. The “mama-uh, mama-uh, mama come closer” line is a reference to the song “Soul Makossa” by Manu Dibango, specifically the version adapted by Michael Jackson in “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’“‘s final bridge.

[/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]

The connotations associated with the expression getting jiggy are open to interpretation. 😉 The term was originally a description of sexy fashion or style, but expanded to include dancing skill. Whatever the genre, with St. Patrick’s Day coming up this week, it’s a good time to be getting jiggy!

💪 LET`S TALK PROTEIN! 💪

You show up to the gym. You put in the work. You`re getting stronger.

But are you giving your body what it needs to recover?

Protein plays a HUGE role in muscle recovery, building and maintaining muscle, and keeping you feeling satisfied throughout the day.

And here`s something we see all the time — people think they`re eating plenty of protein, but when they actually start tracking, they`re surprised by how little they`re getting!

🥩 So how much protein do you actually need?

For many active adults, a good starting point is around 0.7–1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day, depending on your goals and individual needs.

And no, you don`t need to eat chicken breast six times a day to get there! 😂

Try incorporating a quality protein source into each meal and snack.

Remember: You can`t out-train consistently under fueling your body!

At CFB Nutrition, we`re helping members understand their macros, fuel their workouts, and build sustainable habits that support their goals.

📩 Curious about nutrition coaching? Reach out! We`d love to help!

🍁 16 YEARS STRONG! ❤️💙

What a way to celebrate 16 incredible years of CrossFit Barrington! 🎉

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to our CFB Fall Fest & 16th Anniversary celebration! From delicious chili and pumpkin decorating to lots of laughs and great company, it was such a fun afternoon with our CFB family!

🌶️ Let’s talk about that chili cook-off! Every single chili was delicious, but Jen Parisi took home the win! 🏆 And apparently it was Jen’s lucky day because she ALSO won our ruck raffle! Someone needs to take that girl to buy a lottery ticket! 😂👏

But the best part of the day? Seeing our members, spouses, kids, and families all come together outside of our regular gym routine. ❤️

That’s what makes CFB so special. We may come together for the workouts, but it’s the friendships, connections, and community we’ve built over the years that make this place so much more than just a gym.

16 years of fitness, friendships, memories, and showing up for one another. We couldn’t do any of it without YOU!

Here’s to 16 years of CFB and many, many more! 🥂

More than a gym. Always a community. ❤️💙

You probably already know what you should be doing.
Eat enough protein. Drink your water. Move your body. Get enough sleep. Manage your stress.

That’s what the CFB 6-Week Nutrition Challenge is about.
For six weeks, we’re taking the guesswork out of nutrition and focusing on simple, repeatable habits that fit into real life. You’ll receive personalized calorie + macro targets, track your daily habits, check in weekly, and have coaching and accountability along the way.
No crash diets. No cutting out entire food groups. No trying to be “perfect” for six weeks.
Just a plan built for you, a little friendly competition, and a reason to finally string some consistent weeks together. 💪
Starts Monday, November 2
$100 for all 6 weeks
Scan the QR code to grab your spot.

REAL RESULTS. 🙌
Penny has been working with CFB 1:1 Nutrition for just 3 months, and her progress speaks for itself:
🔥 10 lbs lost
💪 3 lbs of muscle gained
📉 6% body fat lost
But the numbers are only part of the story.
When Penny started, one of her goals was simple: she wanted to feel good in her dress for her son’s wedding.
Well… last week she told me they had to TAKE. THE. DRESS. IN. 👏👏👏
Over the last three months, Penny has consistently tracked her food, worked toward her nutrition targets, and checked off her daily habits. Nothing crazy. Nothing extreme. Just showing up and putting in the work week after week.
And every month when we sit down and talk about her “bright spots,” one thing keeps coming up: her clothes fit better. She feels better. And other people are noticing the changes, too.
THAT is what we’re after.
And Penny isn’t finished yet. 💪
We’re rolling out our new and improved CFB 1:1 Nutrition Coaching, with an even bigger focus on nutrition, habits, accountability, and building something you can actually stick with.
And if you’re not quite ready for 1:1 coaching, our 6-Week Fall Nutrition Challenge starts November 2nd! It’s the perfect opportunity to dial things in, build some momentum, and see what six weeks of consistency can do.
Penny put in the work—and the results followed. Your turn could be next. ❤️
Send us a message or talk to Coach Lauren at the gym to learn more about 1:1 Nutrition Coaching or the Fall Nutrition Challenge!

Sometimes you show up for the workout… and end up finding your people. ❤️💙

We had to grab a picture after class when we realized these four all showed up twinning 😂 But it also felt like the perfect little reminder of what makes CFB so special.

Inside these walls, friendships are built between sets, during warm-ups, after class, and somewhere in the middle of suffering through a workout together. 🫶

The fitness is great. But the people you get to do it with? That’s the best part.

If you’ve been looking for a place to get stronger, have some fun, and find people who will genuinely be glad to see you walk through the door, come check out what CFB is all about.

Your first class could be the start of a whole lot more than a workout. ❤️💙

🥾 OCTOBER RUCK CHALLENGE IS ON! 🍂

You may have seen it in the newsletter and we know a few of you have already gotten a head start 👀 but it’s time to officially kick off our CFB October Ruck Challenge!

The challenge is simple:

🥾 Grab your ruck
📍 Get outside
💪 Ruck as many miles as you can throughout October
🏆 Most miles at the end of the month WINS! (Log miles on the whiteboard at CFB)

That’s it. Nothing fancy. Just another reason to get outside, get moving, add some extra steps to your day, and maybe get a little competitive with your CFB crew. 😏

Walk the neighborhood. Take the dog. Grab a friend. Ruck before or after class. Stack up those miles however you can!

AND — we’re finishing the month together! 🙌
Weather permitting, we’ll be doing a CFB Community Ruck on Saturday, October 31! More details to come as we get closer.

You have ALL of October — so get moving!

Just look at that cheese pull! 🤤🍕

You can always spot an authentic Italian pizzeria the second you walk in from the cozy, neighborhood vibes to that unbelievable aroma in the air. We stopped by Primo Pizza and tried a little bit of everything:

✨ The Primo (loaded up with Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, & green peppers)

✨ Stuffed Pepperoni Pizza (the cheese pull on this pie is NEXT LEVEL!)

✨ Gyros Pizza (topped with cool tzatziki, tomatoes, & onions)

✨ Tiramisu for the ultimate sweet finish

✨ Washed it all down with an ice-cold RC Cola—a classic Chicago pizza pairing!

You can truly taste the authenticity and tradition in every single bite. Save this post for your next pizza run in Barrington! 👇🔥
