Our Philosophy

Strong looks different on everyone.

We believe caring for your body is an act of stewardship, and movement is an opportunity to strengthen more than muscles. It’s a chance to breathe deeper, quiet the noise, build confidence, and reconnect with what matters.

Show up. Move with purpose.

Give yourself grace.

Discover how capable you are.

MEET THE TEAM

THE HEART BEHIND THE REFINERY.

The Refinery began with founder Jessy Applegate’s vision for something more than a place to work out—a space where movement could feel empowering, uplifting, and genuinely good for you.

Today, Jessy and our team of 9+ certified instructors bring that vision to life through thoughtful instruction, genuine encouragement, and a shared passion for helping every person feel stronger and more confident.

Different personalities. Different strengths. One shared purpose: helping you feel your best.
