+About REFIT

The REFIT experience.

A workout that feels like walking into a room where your name already belongs. Come for the music, stay for the people.

Body freedom
Mind reset
Real community
Fitness for every body - community not comparison - heart more than a muscle

+Mission and vision

The REFIT mission & vision.

+Core concepts

Three changes, one room.

REFIT works because it refuses to split people into before and after photos. The goal is fuller: move your body, renew your mind, and find people who make showing up feel possible.

REFIT class moment for change your body

Walk out lighter than you walked in.

Change your mind

Doubt, fear, and insecurity do not get the final word here. REFIT® lifts the way people think about what it means to be fit, capable, and fully in the room.

REFIT® moves beyond the body into connection, self-worth, and lasting change. The heart is both a muscle and a soul, and we train both.

+Our story

The missing piece was community.

The REFIT journey began in 2009 with a passion for people and a desire to see fitness evolve into a life-changing fitness experience.

The founders decided that connection was the key to lasting internal and external change, and built REFIT on higher values that reach beyond the workout.

You may recognize Catherine from Season 5 Episode 15 of HGTV's Fixer Upper, but her real passion is living life as her alter ego, “DJ CAPPS.” Catherine desires to inspire people to live to their fullest potential, and she occasionally attempts this by impersonating Michael Jackson. Catherine holds a degree in Film & Digital Media and also holds an extensive library of 90's rap lyrics in her head.

Her REFIT contributions include strategic vision, cultural development, business partnerships, product development, and all the things. Catherine is an Enneagram 1, loves food, adventure, good conversation, and hilarious people.

Emily Field

Founder of REFIT® Revolution

Emily Field

Fitness leadership, studio operations, and a deep commitment to helping people grow stronger in body, mind, and soul.

Emily is a Waco native and a former nomad with a high need to experience all the things. She is down for anything, up for everything, and is a 7 on the Enneagram (clearly). Helping people find a place where they belong and can grow stronger body-mind-soul is what motivates her to give 100% each day. Her energy is directed towards the fitness components of REFIT, the general operations of the REFIT Studio in Waco, and raising two equally-energized toddlers.

Emily's perfect day would be a cool morning with a tree-line view, a hot afternoon by the pool, and a rainy night on the couch. Call her if this place exists.

+What we stand on

Non-negotiable.

01

Every body

The room is for the body someone walked in with, not the one they were told they needed first.

02

Community first

Connection is not a bonus feature. It is the thing that helps people come back, keep going, and feel known.

03

Heart over hype

REFIT cares about effort, joy, and internal change as much as sweat, steps, and external results.

04

Fitness that fits

Classes, training, and digital workouts should meet people in real life: busy schedules, imperfect weeks, and all.

05

Lasting change

We keep pointing the work beyond the workout: toward confidence, self-worth, and real connection.
