Crossfit XR — Attraction in Benson

At the end of March, 2020, the owner of CrossFit XR, Liz Brozowski, made the hard decision to temporarily close the doors of her business due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This virus, which has effected the lives of all Americans in one way or another, was deemed the most contagious of any of its kind, and taking action was imperative. In the weeks prior to the mandate from the State, Liz was actively taking steps to ensure that everyone coming in was wiping down every piece of equipment used, either with the sanitizing wipes provided, or sanitary items brought in by members. Once the decision to close was enacted, her goal was to make sure her members continued to stay motivated and active with the uncertainty as to how long CrossFit XR's doors would remain shut. To start, Liz offered her members to take home equipment from the gym, that would allow them to continue to do workouts from home. Secondly, she and her coaches recorded videos and demonstrations of the daily workouts, again in an effort to keep members engaged and exercising as most of them were quarantined to their homes during the "stay at home" order. Liz was more than determined to keep things positive and energetic, and it showed! She came up with several different and FUN ways for members to exercise and I can tell you, IT SURE HELPED!! Moving forward, as businesses are slowly reopening, CrossFit XR will be READY! Liz has spent hours cleaning, and preparing baskets of sanitizing items for each member. She has also gone as far as to put tape on the floor, marking off certain areas for each individual member to workout in, keeping a social distance of 6 feet apart. As members, we can see all this as she keeps us informed with social media and pictures. I assure you, I can speak for all the members at CrossFit XR, when I say WE ARE READY TOO!! Thank you, Liz, for all...

This is an amazing CrossFit gym and a great group of people to workout with. The whole group is like a family. If you need comradery and a great workout, this is the place for you.

I was sad when we had to stop coming to the gym due to Covid 19, But Liz (the owner) stepped up her game and allowed us to take home some equipment and she supplied workouts and videos everyday to keep us active. The whole team of coaches has provided a great deal of motivation to keep us going during our quarantine. All the members are in touch with each other and even had some zoom get togethers because we miss each other. The CrossFit box really tries to reach out to the community and help others and promote other local small businesses which is great during this time when all small businesses are in such need. McGee's Crossroads area is very lucky to have such a great CrossFit gym in the area. I could go on and on about the staff, the workouts, the members, etc. But, you really need to experience it for your self. You will be amazed and not disappointed.

I cannot wait to get back to the box to start working out in person with everyone. CrossFit XR has taken all the necessary steps to sanitize the whole gym from top to bottom. All the workout stations have been marked to show the space each person can workout in and be socially distanced from each other. Each workout station has its own set of sanitizer and cleaning supplies to keep their space clean before, during and after the workout. I heard they will even be taking temperatures of people before entering, which will add another safety measure. I have no hesitations on going back to the gym once we...

I have been a member of CrossFit XR for more than a year now. Initially I was hesitant about CrossFit and honestly a little intimidated, but I was tired of the same old "gym routine" and knew my body needed something different. Joining CrossFit XR has been a game changer for me when it comes to my fitness and health! I no longer dread having to go to the gym. I am excited about the workouts at CrossFit XR and can actually see myself getting stronger day by day.

The sense of community and family at CrossFit XR is unbelievable. From the first day that I walked through the doors I felt welcomed and encouraged. I immediately knew I was in the right place. The coaches and members at CrossFit XR became my biggest fans and gave me the push I needed. I think my favorite thing about CrossFit XR is the diversity of our members. At CrossFit XR, everyone is welcome despite their age, shape, size, health conditions, etc. Our coaches Liz and Kristie make CrossFit XR obtainable for EVERYONE!

Liz and Kristie truly are amazing. They are very thorough when explaining the workouts and will always take the time to work with members one-on-one when needed. Liz and Kristie always make sure all workouts can be modified/scaled to fit individual fitness levels and needs.

If you are thinking about joining CrossFit XR, do it!!! Don't wait any longer. I only regret not...
