The Blog

From the blog.

Exercise of the Week spotlights one lesser-known exercise every week, and The Lab Report translates one exercise-science topic a month into practical training guidance, with the research linked. Both live on the blog.

FAQ

Questions we hear most.

Is this space suitable for beginners / my fitness level?

Absolutely — and honestly, this is one of the most common worries people have before their first visit, so you’re not alone in asking. The space and training here are built around you. Whether you’ve never picked up a kettlebell or you’ve been training for years, everyone is met where they are in their journey. Beginners get taught the fundamentals with real attention; more advanced members get pushed appropriately. There’s no “floor” you need to meet before walking in.

What should I bring / wear for my first visit?

Come in comfortable, breathable workout clothes and sneakers you can move in — nothing fancy required. Athletic shoes with good support, though some of your work may be barefoot. A water bottle — we’ve got water and cups, but feel free to bring your own. A small towel, but again towels are provided. And a positive, open mind — that’s honestly the most important thing you can bring on day one.

What makes you different from other gyms nearby?

At Refinery, you’re not just handed a keycard and left to figure it out. Everything is designed for function — the space has been distilled down to what you need, so you’re not paying for equipment you’ll never use. The programming is designed around you: your movement history, your goals, your limitations. It’s also a small, tight-knit community — not a room of strangers on their phones between sets. People here know your name, notice when you’re not around, and show up for each other.

What are your hours, and can I try a free class or session first?

Hours are 6 AM – 10 PM daily, including most holidays. The gym is an unsupervised facility, so you have the ability to come and go as you please throughout the year. There are options to try a class or session for free, along with trial passes to the gym to see if they are a good fit — contact the gym for details.

What are membership options & pricing?

We offer many options for people to join or use the facility — see the Membership page for tiers, passes, and the free trial.
