🎉 Happy 50th Birthday, Cliff! 🎉

Happy birthday to the one and only Cliff! ❤️

If you’ve been around CrossFit 867 for any amount of time, you already know that Cliff is so much more than just our owner and head coach. He’s the guy behind the programming, the coaching, all the jokes, the early mornings, the late nights, and a whole lot of the work that goes into making this gym what it is.

He’s spent years helping people get stronger, learn new things, push themselves a little harder, and most importantly, feel like they’re part of something. Whether you’ve been here for years or just walked through the doors for the first time, chances are Cliff has made an impact on your time at the gym.

We’re incredibly lucky to have him leading this crew and even luckier to call him family. 🖤
Happy birthday, Cliff! We hope you had an awesome day and enjoyed your birthday workout just as much as we did!

And a huge thank you to everyone who helped celebrate Cliff today and made his birthday workout that much more fun. We know he loved seeing everyone show up and put in the work!

Tomorrow we’ll be celebrating one of the most important people in our gym community. 🖤🖤

You might notice tomorrow’s workout is a little different than your usual day at CrossFit 867…

but we’re not going to give it away just yet. 👀

You’ll have to come to class and find out for yourself!

🥩 LET’S TALK NUTRITION!

We’re excited to be teaming up with Janine Morgan, Certified Precision Nutrition Coach & owner of JM Fit for Life, for a little nutrition series here at Avalanche Athletics!

Over the next few months, we’ll be breaking down some of the most common nutrition questions and topics that come up when it comes to training, recovery, and everyday life — in a way that’s realistic, practical, and actually useful.

First up: PROTEIN. 💪

How much do you really need? Why does it matter? What are some easy ways to get more in? And do you really need to live off chicken and protein shakes?

We’re breaking it all down in our first post!

Stay tuned for the next topic in the series 👀

Have a nutrition question you’d love Janine to answer? Or want to get in touch with her directly?

A little look at today’s lifting class.

Good music, heavy things, lots of focus, and a whole lot of work getting done.

There’s something about a room full of people working hard together that makes training that much better. A little encouragement here, a few laughs there, and everyone gets through the work.

Another solid day at CrossFit 867.

Fun Fact Saturday! 😴 Sleep

When it comes to feeling your best, sleep is one of the most powerful tools you have. While you’re asleep, your body repairs muscle tissue, restores energy, supports your immune system, and prepares you for whatever tomorrow brings.

Whether your goal is crushing a workout, keeping up with your kids, feeling more energized at work, or simply staying healthy, getting enough quality sleep can make a real difference.

Tonight, challenge yourself to prioritize sleep and see how you feel at your next workout. Sometimes the biggest gains happen when you’re not in the gym. 💚
