2026 VISION & GOAL SETTING - IN PERSON
Join us for an intentional afternoon focused on clarity, direction, and alignment as we step into 2026 together.
FOR THE ONE: SUSAN G. KOMEN
Using our strength to lift other women up.
EVERY STEP MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Your finish line becomes hope for someone else's journey.
Women Xpanding Limits is about more than personal growth. Through our For the One initiative, every event becomes an opportunity to use our strength to lift someone else and support organizations making a meaningful difference in our communities.
This year, we are honored to benefit Susan G. Komen to support women impacted by breast cancer through survivor opportunities, financial assistance, education, resources, and meaningful community support.
Together, we are creating a day where women can feel strong, supported, and celebrated—both on and beyond the competition floor.
OUR IMPACT GOALS
Sponsor 50 Survivor Athletes
Help provide 50 breast cancer survivors with complimentary registration for the Women’s 1-Miler, 5K, HYROX PFT, or Push-Pull Lifting Meet. Every $50 raised helps one survivor courageously step onto the course or competition floor surrounded by a community ready to celebrate and support her.
Provide 10 Assistance Grants
Help fund ten $400 assistance grants for women navigating a recent breast cancer diagnosis. These grants can help ease practical burdens such as transportation, childcare, food, medical expenses, and other needs that arise during treatment and recovery.
Together, we're proving that strength isn't just measured by what we lift—it's measured by how we lift others.
YOU BELONG HERE
Whether you are newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment, or celebrating survivorship, Women Xpanding Limits is a place where you can feel supported, encouraged, and surrounded by women ready to celebrate your strength.
Through the generosity of our community, breast cancer survivors may apply to receive complimentary registration for the Women’s 1-Miler, 5K, HYROX PFT, or Push-Pull Lifting Meet.
Submitting an application does not guarantee a sponsored entry. Our team will review each application and contact selected participants as funding becomes available.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Women Xpanding Limits has always been about helping women discover their strength, step outside their comfort zones, and courageously pursue what is possible.
But true strength is not only about what we accomplish for ourselves. It is also about how we use that strength to lift someone else.
This partnership is deeply personal to me. After losing my grandma to breast cancer, I saw firsthand how one diagnosis can impact an entire family. Breast cancer affects more than the woman receiving the diagnosis—it touches her loved ones, friendships, community, and every part of daily life.
That is why partnering with Susan G. Komen feels like a natural extension of the Women Xpanding Limits mission. Together, we have the opportunity to create a day where women impacted by breast cancer feel supported, celebrated, and surrounded by a community ready to stand beside them.
Because when women come together, our strength reaches far beyond the start line.
THE WOMEN WHO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Women Xpanding Limits is about more than crossing a finish line or completing a competition. It is about creating a space where every woman feels seen, encouraged, and reminded of her strength.
Throughout the festival, we will honor women impacted by breast cancer through survivor recognition, encouragement cards, breast health education, meaningful resources, and opportunities to celebrate or remember someone you love.
Whether you are competing, cheering from the sidelines, walking through treatment, celebrating survivorship, or supporting someone close to you, there is a place for you here.
Together, we are creating a day filled with courage, connection, and community—where women lift one another and leave stronger than when they arrived.

OUR MISSION AT XYL
At Xpand Your Limits (XYL), our mission is to help women step beyond self-doubt and into who they were created to be through challenge, community, and intentional growth. We believe confidence is built through action, courage is developed outside of comfort, and real transformation happens through small, consistent commitments that compound over time. Through training, events, coaching, and shared experiences, XYL creates spaces where women learn to trust themselves, strengthen both body and mind, and pursue growth with clarity, faith, and purpose—one degree at a time.

THE DIVISIONS
This meet is non-sanctioned and open to ALL levels; our non-showcase meets (like this one) do not include weigh-in's like traditional powerlifting meets. Divisions are based on honest self-selection of lifter's experience level.
Many of our lifters have not competed in any lifting competition prior to lifting in an Xpand Your Limits, while others have competed in multiple high-level, sanctioned and/or elite events. Xpand Your Limits Meets are the perfect opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone, build confidence in competition, meet other women, inspire and cheer each other on, and compete for a cause - no matter your level.
Anyone under the age of 18 must have a legal guardian present.
Mighty & Mini: <14 years of age & any experience level (must have guardian present)
Teen: 13-17
Young Adult: 18-29
Adult: 30-44

THE LIFTING MEET

FOR THE ONE
For the One is inspired by Luke 15—the story of leaving the ninety-nine to go after the one. At every XYL event, we partner with a local charity to ensure the strength built on the platform reaches beyond the room and into the life of someone who needs it. All the door fees goes directly to support that local charity.
