Red light therapy — the why behind the glow ✨

This is one of the most gentle yet powerful recovery tools we offer — and it works far deeper than skin level.

Red + near-infrared light support your body at the cellular level, helping mitochondria (your cells’ powerhouses) produce more energy (ATP).

More energy = better healing, recovery, and resilience.

✨ Why our sessions are just 15 minutes:
Because that’s all your body needs.
Beyond that, benefits plateau — so we keep it short, effective, and intentional.

✨ What it supports:
• muscle recovery & reduced soreness
• joint pain & inflammation relief
• improved circulation & oxygen delivery
• nervous system regulation & relaxation
• deeper, more restorative sleep
• skin health, collagen & elasticity
• mental clarity, mood balance & calm
• hormone & women’s health support (including menopause-related symptoms)

✨ What it’s not:
No UV rays.
No burning.
No downtime.

✨ What it is:
Safe.
Non-invasive.
Well-researched.
Low risk.
And supportive for all skin types.
At The Refinery, recovery isn’t an afterthought — it’s part of the work.
Because stronger bodies need nervous system support, healing, and rest too.

💬 Curious if red light therapy could support your recovery, sleep, hormones, or pain?

✨ We’ll be soft launching in February.
Stay tuned.

The PUSH crew hopped off the bikes and into the weight room today 💥

Because spin + strength just works — like SALT-N- PEPA.

They pushed it real good, left it all on the floor, and reminded us why we love collaborating with good people and strong communities.

PUSH — endurance meets strength.
Different tools. Same fire. 🖤🔥

Can’t wait to do it again.

Today I did something that’s been sitting in the back of my mind for a while... I went for my first mammogram.

I’ll be honest… I was a little nervous. I put it off longer than I needed to. Not because I didn’t care, but because sometimes the unknown feels heavier than the appointment itself.

And here’s what I want you to know if you’re on the fence, worried, or telling yourself “I’ll book it later”:
It was quick.
It was manageable.
It was empowering.
Most of all, it felt like an act of self-respect.
We show up here every day talking about strength, health, and taking care of ourselves ...not just for how we look, but for how we live. This is part of that too.

If you’ve been avoiding it because you’re scared, busy, uncomfortable, or just unsure you’re not alone. But you are worth the peace of mind. You are worth the check-in.

You are worth the care.
This is me gently reminding you (with love, not pressure):
👉 Make the appointment.
👉 Ask the questions.
👉 Take care of future you.

I care deeply about each of you ...your health, your families, your lives. If my little reel encourages even one woman to get checked, it’s worth sharing.

You’ve got this. And you don’t have to be fearless ... just brave for a moment 💗

How People Use It

One of the most common questions we’re getting is: “How often would I actually use this?”
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — and that’s intentional.

Some women use it: • on rest days
• after hard workouts
• during high-stress weeks
• when recovery feels off
• simply because it helps them feel better

Sessions are short, simple, and meant to fit into your routine — not take it over.

This isn’t about adding another commitment.
It’s about supporting the work you’re already doing.

More details coming soon.

01/07/2026

So what does a session actually feel like?
You lie down or sit comfortably.
You’re fully clothed.
The room is quiet.
There’s no heat, no pressure, no effort.
Most women describe it as: • calming
• grounding
• relaxing without making them sleepy
• like their body can finally exhale
Some notice they feel less sore later that day.
Some notice better sleep.
Some just notice they feel… better.
There’s nothing to push through.
You just let your body do the work.

01/06/2026

We’ve been talking about recovery.
Now it’s time to name it.

Red light therapy is coming to The Refinery.

We chose this because it supports recovery between workouts, joints and muscles, skin health, circulation, and nervous system regulation — without adding stress to the body.

This isn’t about trends or doing more.
It’s about giving women another way to feel better in their bodies.
More details soon.

01/05/2026

This is for the woman who:

• feels sore more often than she thinks she should
• wakes up stiff, even when she’s training “smart”
• feels inflamed, heavy, or off — without a clear reason
• is navigating perimenopause or menopause
• knows she needs recovery, but doesn’t want another thing to push through
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about supporting your body so what you already do actually works.
If this resonates — you’ll want to keep watching.

01/04/2026

Let’s clear something up 👇
This is not:
✖ a tanning bed
✖ UV light
✖ heat therapy
✖ a massage
✖ a spa treatment
This is:
✔ targeted light that supports recovery at a cellular level
✔ something you do fully clothed
✔ calm, quiet, and intentional
✔ recovery without pushing harder or stressing your nervous system
If you’ve been curious but unsure — that’s normal.
Education is coming, slowly and clearly.

01/03/2026

Something new is coming to The Refinery.
And it’s about healing, not pushing harder ✨

We are not bringing this in because it’s trendy.
We are bringing it in because women are tired.

Tired of feeling inflamed.
Tired of waking up sore.
Tired of doing “all the right things” and still feeling off.
Tired of being told to just push harder.
This isn’t another workout.

It’s recovery.
It’s nervous system support.
It’s care for joints, skin, energy, and hormones, especially for women.

Stay tuned!!

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Sault Sainte Marie?

The Refinery-The Sault’s Hottest New Health & Weight Loss Facility

We are launching a brand new health facility for all of our Sault Ste. Marie Community.

We are combining the best of every world!

This is an all-inclusive gym atmosphere with private coaching, group training, specialized classes and of course, we want you all to hang out, enjoy a coffee with us and maybe some light food options in the future! This will be a home for women only- with a few limited specialty classes to include the men.

When this idea came to light. We envisioned a home for everyone. A safe place but a place where little by little you’re pushed outside your comfort zone.

A no judgement zone.

We envisioned an environment teaching people how to become the best version of themselves.

Often times you join a “gym” with these hopes and yet, often times you’re let down.

Now is the time. Today is the day. You took the first step. You will never feel that way again. From here on in, you will step into your greatness and live your best life.

We will show you how to own your life and for some, we will give you your health back. We will unravel you piece by piece and put you back together again!

We will give you all of the knowledge, power and strength to take on any challenge.

We will teach you how to refine your mind, refine your body and ultimately, refine your life.

This isn’t just a gym. We don’t just have trainers. This is your new home and we are your family.

There are three (optional) parts to our program, in which you’re invited to take part in one or all three.

Fitness Classes that are 30 minutes in length. Experts indicate that all you need is 30 minutes 3-4 days per week. So, we will make it quick and effective. For some, we know how busy life can be. We get you in and get you out, as we know your time is valuable. For others, you want longer classes, you want to hang out and socialize. This is a home for everyone. We will also be offering some specialty classes TBA (eg. yoga, Hard Body Bootcamp, 55+, pole dancing, salsa, etc).

A weight loss program designed on an individual basis to meet your unique needs (we’re not all created equal). This includes meal plans that have the perfect macronutrient balance of proteins, carbs and fats for weight/fat loss. It also includes recipes, “quick results programs,” as well as helping you learn what works best for your body. This is backed by a sports nutritionist who is an expert in the field. You set a goal your comfortable with and we help you achieve it.

Private, individual Accountability Coaching. This includes weekly accountability meetings with brief diet/nutrition advice and help with any struggles or different obstacles you may face on your individual journey.

Our facility is results oriented and we’ve partnered with the BEST coaches with backgrounds in sports/nutrition/training/coaching in Sault Ste. Marie.

Because we design programs on an individual basis, we ask that you book your free consultation with one of our coaches in advance by emailing us at: RefinerySSM@hotmail.com.

Our schedule is already filling up for the fall.

We look forward to seeing you in September and more so, having you become a part of our “Refined” Family.
