Refresh Women’s Fitness and Psycosocial Support project is a community-based club that provides low-income women with exercise classes and women’s health-related educational trainings and discussion groups. The goal of Refresh is to encourage women to care well for themselves and each other, thereby improving both physical and social well-being.

Fun and motivating workout classes and communal post-workout coffee time help to create a welcoming and safe atmosphere in which women can speak freely and develop deep, life-affirming relationships with their instructors and one another. Here, shared tears and shared smiles lift heavy hearts up and out of dark situations and into hope and help.
