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.

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.
