Navin has been involved in the health and fitness industry for over 18 years. A former Equinox Tier X(IV) trainer, Navin moved to the Hudson Valley with his family in 2017. At the time, fitness in the area was limited in choice and in scope. He could train neither himself nor his clients with the tools available, nor with function in mind. Thus, Refinery was born.

A Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach, Navin has helped people achieve goals ranging from general fitness to sports performance. Client profiles include:

• Weight Management
• Strength & Conditioning
• Mobility
• Strength Training for Seniors
• Injury Prevention & Recovery
• Post Physical Therapy Transition
• Sport Specific Preparation
• Pre-Post Natal
• Kettlebell Instruction
• Functional Movement

Navin loves working with all tools and with all client types, and has a particular fondness for kettlebells. He lives with his wife, two daughters, and two dogs in Rhinebeck, and trains for tennis in his spare time.

After almost a decade of living and personal training in New York City, Tony settled in Rhinebeck and is excited to be part of Refinery Fitness. His coaching journey started at the luxury fitness club Equinox, where he fell in love with empowering clients and joining them on their journey toward optimal health. On his way to becoming a top producing trainer there, he realized his love for fitness is not birthed out of the way it can change our physique, but rather how it allows us to access more of what life has to offer.

Tony has worked with a wide range of clients of all ages, including:

• Skiers, snowboarders, hikers, and weekend warriors looking to increase their cardiovascular capabilities, strength, and durability
• Weight management clients who are in the process of building new relationships with the gym and exercise
• Senior clients looking to improve bone density while increasing strength and stability
• Clients working to rehab an injury or manage pain; working in tandem with physical therapists to implement programs to keep people moving

When he's not coaching clients, you can find Tony diving into home improvement projects with his wife or training for league and pickup soccer. To contact Tony, CLICK HERE.

Kevin specializes in body-composition transformation and building resilient physiques designed to last well into a client's golden years. His laid-back philosophy is rooted in decades of personal trial and error, focusing on a realistic, health-forward approach tailored to each individual's unique frame and lifestyle. Having navigated countless diets and training trends, Kevin works closely with clients to strike the ideal balance between sustainable results and real-world quality of life.

Kevin's journey began at age 14 with a cheap bedroom weight bench, paving the way to win the Tri-State Natural Bodybuilding Championship. He established his coaching career at Crunch Fitness in New York City, which led to his stint as National Spokesperson for Bally Total Fitness — making regular appearances on shows including The Today Show, Good Morning America, and The Howard Stern Show, alongside features in Muscle & Fitness. Kevin later relocated to Los Angeles, where maintaining a Hollywood-caliber physique became a professional necessity for his acting roles. Most recently, he portrayed iconic wrestler "Macho Man" Randy Savage alongside Dwayne Johnson on NBC's Young Rock, achieving peak athletic condition while pushing 50 through disciplined nutrition, elite conditioning, and decades of practical knowledge — proving great fitness goals are attainable at any age.

Kevin works with a broad spectrum of clients, including:

• Men and women seeking body composition changes through flexible, realistic habits
• Individuals focused on building long-term strength, mobility, and functional longevity
• Lifters of all experience levels looking for evidence-based, battle-tested programming stripped of quick-fix gimmicks
• Anyone aiming to build gym confidence and sustainable health at any life stage

A Hudson Valley native, Kevin recently returned home to Rhinebeck after years on the West Coast to raise his family. He brings decades of high-level training experience back to where his journey first started.

Christi's love of dance started early — her first performance was in her childhood living room in Michigan, dancing to Michael Jackson's Thriller on vinyl. She trained in jazz and ballet before falling in love with hip hop after moving from the Midwest to California. For Christi, dance has always been more than movement — it's community, therapy, friendship, and joy. She believes a single dance class a week has the power to change your life.

Christi trained at L.A.'s top studios, including Millennium Dance Complex, Edge Performing Arts Center, Debbie Reynolds Studio, Movement Lifestyle, and TMilly. She has performed at concerts, competitions, festivals, nightclubs, large venues including the L.A. Convention Center and the Rose Bowl Stadium, The Carnival: Choreographer's Ball Hollywood, appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show and Glee's "One Night Only" show, taught classes and workshops including GROOV3, and performed with hip hop crews Groovaholix, PCE Modern, and Hollywood/Vine.

HND + TMPL speaks to the core value of utilizing hands, heart, and mind to honor the temple that is your body. Bodywork is about listening, supporting, and appreciating the body as it is. It's the ability to create more space, freedom, comfort, and, in turn, more joy.

Ben seeks the intersection of mediums that provide a haven from social-emotional isolation and supports our adaptive capabilities to self-soothe and heal. His work comes from the impulse to create more space in the nervous system and body through vibrational frequencies that connect us to our ancestral wisdom and being.
