Meet the Owners

Yurii and Kerry Hanson are the owners of CrossFit Billings. They have been a CrossFit Affiliate since October of 2008. They started crossfitting out in their home garage and from there moved to Yurii’s dad’s garage, and then finally into a commercial setting in March of 2009. Working out has always been a passion of both of the Hanson’s and that passion turned into a reality.

Along with being a firefighter, Yurii is currently training for the Open Sectional CrossFit Competition, and hopefully Regionals and the World CrossFit Games. He surprised himself and others by placing 5th last year at the NW Regional CrossFit Games in Puyallup WA. He went into the competition seated 45th and missed the chance for the world games by 2 places. His scores from the WODs are as follows: Run/HSPU/Row 8:36 5th place, Thruster Ladder 255# 1st place, Deadlift/Box Jump 6:09 28th place, the “100′s” 19:28 3rd Place, “Amanda” 6:22 4th place, and the Row/Burpee/G2O/T2B/Lung/Sprint 10:44 5th place.

Kerry is the backbone of the operation, along with coaching some classes, she makes sure things flow smoothly “behind” the scenes. She is the mother of 2 and also a massage therapist. She also competed in the Open Sectionals Competition and ended up 69th place, only the top 60 athletes were invited to participate in the regional event. CrossFit has completely transformed her physically and mentally. She is a Rocky Graduate who played basketball for the Bears.
