What our fellow badasses are saying

"Loved everything so far"

The XYL Meet was life changing. When you do hard things and prove to yourself YOU Can Do Hard Things your confidence grows by leaps and bounds AND you inspire those around you without event knowing. SIGN UP. Best. Decision. Ever!

"My life changed forever"

XYL will always have a place in my heart. Taking my “I think I can do it” to having the confidence to KNOW I can! It’s more than about just lifting weights. It’s about doing hard things and being so proud of yourself afterwards. The encouragement, the energy, the support I’ve received outside of competing has been amazing.

“Transformative & life changing"

"Yesterday I witnessed so many women stepped into their power as a STRONG female.

...myself included.​More than a year ago I made a declaration to myself.. I was going to join a powerlifting meet. ​I did it. AND I couldn't have picked a better event to make it MY FIRST. XYL & Kelsey Lensman THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 

The entire day, every attempt, every moment of hype, all the support, all the love.. it was magical."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this for experienced lifters and athletes only?

Nope! We've had women weight lifting and moving for two months all the way to highly season athletes. The ages of our athletes have also ranged from 7 years old to 72 years old. This is a great place for novice lifters or beginners to challenge themselves physically on what they're capable of in an amazing environment.

What if I'm not strong enough?

That is the #1 hesitation that holds women back. We automatically disqualify ourselves because we don't feel like we are "ready yet." If you can lift the bar, you're ready for one of our lifting events. If you can walk the distance, you're ready for one of our endurance events. For the events that do need a certain level of fitness to be there, it will be specified in the specific event info. There will be women of all strength and fitness levels at the event ranging from the bar to 400lbs+. That's what makes our days special - it's all women, all levels and always for a cause.

Can spectators (and guys) come?

You betcha! We do have all-women athletes, however, we have many husbands, sons, and male friends come support their favorite female athlete! It's a special day for both parties. Spectators are more than welcome to join and you can purchase pre-sale tickets on the website.

What if I fail?

That's progress! It's okay to fail a lit and happens all the time. We tell our athletes that if you push hard enough, you should fail. That allows you to set a goal for the next time. We also have amazing spotters and volunteers to keep you safe while you seek the edge.

I have a specific question, who do I ask?

We love to help our athletes as best as we can. You can first, join our Athlete Facebook Group HERE where we are actively answering questions, posting tips, and where our events will drop first. You can also email Kelsey at [email protected] to ask a specific question.
