With the For the One Campaign, we’re taking that mission outside the gym walls and into our community by standing with survivors of human trafficking through our partnership with HerSong Columbus. HerSong provides long-term residential survivor care, victim outreach, and personalized care coordination that helps women move from a survival-based existence to purposeful, self-sufficient living.

I would tell them that going out of your comfort zone will bring them a newfound confidence in themselves, that putting yourself in positions that are uncomfortable at first is where you grow! And if you want to feel that you’ll find it at an XYL event!
-Brie
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!

Show up, be in our amazing community and show off what you've been working for.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
For the longest time I believed my own self-limitations. I never thought I could step on a bodybuilding stage, have unshakeable self-confidence, create a national cross-country campaign or physically do the crazy challenges I have done. It wasn’t until I started to challenge my own self-perceived limitations through events that I became the woman I am today. For me, it all started with my fitness. That’s why I’m incredibly passionate about helping others Xpand Their Limits and show themselves their true capability.
I graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Sports Medicine. My original plans were to attend graduate school for Physical Therapy. However, during my senior year, I felt a pull on my heart telling me I had a different mission. After a life changing year of training to step onto a bodybuilding stage, it led me to understand each of us are capable of so much more than we could ever imagine.
We only need to challenge ourselves outside of our comfort zones and go for it. I realized that true transformation comes from multiple areas: nutrition, training, mindset and community. Since then I have exceeded my own self-limitations and have become a:
-5x Bodybuilding Competitor
-4x Powerlifting Competitor
-Powerbuilding Competitor
-Half-Marathon
-Spartan
-Many other Races
Let's challenge women to rise up and xpand their limits together.
