CrossFit Gyms Aren’t Losing to Better Coaching. They’re Losing to Visibility, Convenience, and Perceived Value.


BoxEx is the national platform built to help CrossFit affiliates attract more members, retain them longer, and finally compete with the big chains—without changing what makes you great.


 

How Hosting Works 

1. Join the BoxEx Network (Free & Fast)

Add your gym in minutes. You’re instantly discoverable to athletes traveling, relocating, or seeking flexibility—and you can retail the National Access Pass to your own members.


We Point Athletes Toward You—So You Can Win the Relationship

These are not cold leads or low-quality drop-ins.

They’re serious CrossFitters who:

  • Already trust BoxEx to guide them
  • Prefer real coaching over hotel workouts
  • Are excited to experience a new gym when they travel

We send them to you for an introductory class—so you can show them what makes your gym different.


From there, you take over:

You coach them, connect with them, and charge for future visits like you normally would.

  • Some will come back again on the same trip.
  • Some will return every time they’re in town.
  • Some will move to your city and make your gym their new home.

These are high-quality athletes already in motion—we just make sure they land at your door

Start Hosting Now

 

They’re not quitting your gym. They’re just never walking through the door.


Most people don’t leave your gym for a big-box chain.

They just never show up—because a chain looked easier.

Big-box gyms win by default:

  • More reviews
  • More convenience
  • A national membership that feels effortless

Even athletes who would thrive in your space end up somewhere else—because someone else looked like the obvious choice.

BoxEx changes that.

It gives you the same perceived convenience and credibility—without losing what makes you great.

Now, when someone compares you to Orangetheory or Lifetime, you don’t come up short.

You offer the best coaching, the best community—and the flexibility they expect.


This isn’t about competing.

It’s about being the obvious choice.


 

What Hosting Can Add to Your Bottom Line


One Member = $2,000+/Year. Hosting Helps You Keep and Gain More of Them.

Let’s talk simple math.

At $150–$200/month, a single member is worth $2,000+ per year.

So whether you retain one who might’ve left…

Or gain one who might’ve gone elsewhere…

That’s thousands in recurring revenue.

...And it stacks every year they stay.


Here’s What Hosting Actually Unlocks:

50–100 new reviews = 1–2 new members/month from local search

Better reviews push you higher on Google—and higher ranking means more walk-ins.

Even if just 1–2 stick each month, that’s up to $48,000/year in added revenue.

And since your expenses are already covered, most of it hits your bottom line.


Stronger retention = 3–5 fewer cancels/year = $6k–$10k saved

When members feel connected, supported, and proud of where they train, they stay longer.

That stability builds momentum—and compounds over time.


Higher close rates = more members from the same leads

You don’t need more leads. You just need more “yeses.”

BoxEx adds a powerful new hook to your pitch: national access in your membership.


Traveler revenue = 60% profit, zero work

Let your traveling members buy the National Pass—and keep 60% of every sale.

No admin, no effort. Just recurring upside.


BoxEx isn’t a side perk. It’s a multiplier.

If one member is worth $2,000+…

How much growth are you missing by not standing out?

BoxEx is more than a drop-in network—it’s the missing infrastructure that finally links CrossFit affiliates into a unified, national ecosystem. It’s about visibility, retention, culture—and reclaiming what made CrossFit great in the first place.


The movement is already growing. The only question is—are you in?

AS A HOST...

All the things you get when you become a FREE host.

Be Discoverable Nationwide

You show up automatically on BoxEx when athletes search for places to train while they travel. These aren't just drop-ins?some become long-term visitors, recurring clients, or relocation members.

 Use BoxEx in Your Marketing

Include "National Network Access" in your sales conversations, intros, and email nurture sequences. It gives you an edge over local competitors and makes your gym feel more modern, connected, and trusted.

 Leverage It in Your Website Messaging

Add the BoxEx logo and "We're part of the national CrossFit network" to your site. It's subtle, but it signals quality, legitimacy, and professional alignment.

Compete with Chains Without Changing a Thing

When prospects compare your gym to Orangetheory or Planet Fitness, BoxEx becomes your answer to their "but what if I travel?" concern.

Now you offer coaching, community, AND convenience.

Capture Drop-Ins as Long-Term Clients

Many visiting athletes become regulars especially remote workers, digital nomads, or those traveling frequently for work. With BoxEx, these visits feel like part of a system not just a transaction.

Retain Members Who Travel

When members know they can train through BoxEx while they're gone, they're less likely to cancel, pause, or drift away.
