Supporting local small business owners is my jam.

Especially women entrepreneurs.

Thanks Kirsten • Custom Embroidery • Iowa for making the hats!

No-shows hit different when you’re a small business owner. 😅

Like… that was someone’s spot. Someone else wanted that spot. And now I’m mopping.

But honestly? The floor needed it. The admin tasks needed it. And there’s something deeply satisfying about turning a frustrating hour into a productive one, even if the productivity looks like me in a time lapse with a mop.

Small business owner life is glamorous, truly.

(Genuinely obsessed with my .us mop btw. No harsh chemicals, actually cleans, and takes about four minutes. The bar is low and it clears it every time.)

💬 Fellow small business owners: how do you handle the no-shows? Tell me below. 👇

Think about it.

What do you want your holidays to feel like?

More energy? More strength? More endurance?
That’s what 3 short months of strength training can give you. Stick around even longer and watch your metabolic health improve! Bone density, cognitive function and less joint pain.

Around here we chase muscle, energy and functional strength.

We have a few spots left in our Everstrong class. Send a message to drop-in and try it out!

Well hi 👋 apparently a bunch of you just hit follow, so let’s make it official.

I’m Amy! NASM and Girls Gone Strong-certified strength coach, founder of Refinery Strength Collective, and a person who will talk your ear off about bone density if you let me.

Here’s what I’m NOT about: 30-day transformations, “shred for summer,” or making you feel guilty for existing in your body. Hard pass.

Here’s what I AM about: helping women in midlife (and beyond) build real, evidence-based strength. You know… the kind that protects your joints, your bones, and your independence for the next 40 years, not just the next 4 weeks.

Muscle isn’t vanity. It’s your retirement plan for your body. And I will die on this hill, probably while doing a goblet squat.

So, welcome. Grateful you’re here. Buckle up, it’s about to get strong (and a little chaotic) around here 💪

girl grip. 💅🏽

not the lip gloss. not the phone. not the iced matcha with the reusable straw.

the 25-pound dumbbell. the kettlebell. the barbell.

because girl grip isn’t just everything you can carry in one hand. it’s putting back into your body what the world has been taking out of it for decades. it’s choosing something heavy, on purpose, and refusing to put it down.

that’s the grip we’re building at Refinery Strength Collective.

if your version of girl grip includes a barbell, you belong here. 🏋🏽‍♀️

Breaking: local woman opens a business, and now women in Altoona and Pleasant Hill can’t stop showing up for deadlifts and unsolicited bone density facts. 😅

In all seriousness, this is basically what happens every week at Refinery.

You come in for the workout.

You leave understanding why strength training matters more the older you get (hi, bone density, hi, hormones, hi, being able to carry your own groceries at 70).

No transformation photos. No guilt. Just strong women getting stronger, on purpose.

Come see what the “investigation” is about. 💪

One year ago: zero clients, no revenue, and a whole lot of pain, passion, and grit.

Today: thirty women strong, our highest-grossing month yet, and a community that shows up for each other every single time.

This wasn’t built on transformation photos or quick fixes. It was built on serving my community. One deadlift, one hard conversation, one client at a time.

Frailty is not your story. And starting from scratch was worth every bit of it.

Happy Birthday RSC!! 🎉💜🔥

This one’s for the working women who know they need to start lifting and haven’t yet. 👊🏽

Strong Foundations is coming.

This is the program I designed specifically for the woman who feels intimidated by strength training but knows…knows… her body needs it. The woman who has walked past a weight room and kept walking. Who has thought about starting and talked herself out of it. Who is done talking herself out of it.

Eight sessions. Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5:30pm starting September 10th. Only four spots.

Here’s what Strong Foundations actually looks like:

We start at the beginning. The real beginning. Core breathing and engagement. Because before you load anything, your body needs to know how to brace, stabilize, and breathe under effort. Most women have never been taught this. We start there.

Then we move through the six foundational movement patterns every human body is built to do, and that strength training is built around. By the time you’re done, the weight room will never feel the same.

No experience required. Intimidation expected. Judgment, never.

Registration opens August 20th. Four spots. This time will go fast.

Kidding. Maybe. 😏

In all honesty, being trusted with someone’s strength journey is something I don’t take lightly. Ever. These women show up, do the hard thing, and let me coach them through it. That’s not nothing. That’s everything.

If you want in, we’re still accepting new members at Everstrong. MWF 10:15am at 327 Fitness in Pleasant Hill. Only 2 personal training spots open and 5 spots for virtual coaching.

Comment EVERSTRONG, I’d be honored to earn your trust too. 🤍
