ATHLETE OF THE MONTH

“Who would think that at ages 67 and 63 we could do this kind of workout consistently? Not wanting to settle for a life with pain management as the solution, we decided to try moving. To us Blackbird CrossFit is a safe, supportive community that we love being a part of.” –Diana & Joe Cavey, Blackbird CrossFit Athletes of the Month.

Tara Shone has been a Blackbird since October 2019. In that time she has grown exponentially. She came in with a nice baseline of strength and the body awareness of an athlete, so the coaches have had a great time quickly proving to her that she is capable of so much...

Cathy Blassino-- OG, Founding Member, a Blackbird from Day 1.   You will be hard-pressed to find anyone more determined than Cathy. She has that "Goonies Never Say Die" mindset each and every workout. She doesn't cut corners or take the easy way out. Cathy...

Congratulations to Greg Clark, Blackbird CrossFit’s February 2021 Athlete of the Month. After 5+ years as a Blackbird, we still cannot come up with enough adjectives for kind, genuine, and sincere that would sufficiently describe him. In that time he’s worked hard in the gym and on his nutrition. He’s gotten stronger, leaner, and healthier. He does it all with an optimistic outlook on life and tons (kilos?) of class. Check out his profile to read more about his CrossFit journey.

"Salomon Ehinon is the personification of the Humble Beast. He doesn't talk much, but he smiles at everyone when he walks in, and then he gets to work. He leads by example putting in 100% at all times. He trains responsibly, always realizing where his body is that day...

We can think of no better way to round out a year of recognizing some of our stand-out members, than to introduce you all to Rachael Eglseder. So many moms can relate to someone like Rachael. A down-to-earth mom, juggling a big family and a hectic nursing career, and...

TERRY CHAPPELL shows up to Blackbird each day with a huge smile on her face, ready to put in the work. Over the past year she has worked even harder in the kitchen with her Blackbird Nutrition coach!

It took a year of casually attending events with her boyfriend, now fiancée, to get Courtney to feel comfortable enough to try a class at Blackbird. Such a sweet girl, we were thrilled to finally officially welcome her into our CrossFit community. When she's not at a...

I’ve never felt this all around healthy and capable. The increased energy and being excited about working out again are my favorite results. I’ve lost over 35lbs changing my food choices. I’ve gained muscle and went from over 18% bf to 11.8%.  I’ve seen some serious physical results, but how I feel is why I keep coming back.

“Joining Blackbird was a game changer for our family. It changed the trajectory of our family so profoundly that I can not find the words to express its impact upon us. We are happier, stronger, more patient and more kind with each other because of being there.”

“I can honestly say that I may be in the best shape and healthiest I have ever been in my life since coming to BBCF. Besides the physical progress, I am off of some medication I have been on for 20+ years and my cholesterol is down to the lowest point it has ever been thanks to nutrition and exercise.”
