Meet Amy & The Refinery Approach
Hey friend! Thanks for stopping by.
Meet Amy Karas, NASM-CPT, GGS L1. A women’s personal trainer and strength coach specializing in autoimmune-aware training. Learn my story and values.
Hi, I’m Amy Karas! Coach, personal trainer, mom, and believer in grit built over time. I help women cultivate durable strength through smart, compassionate training. After years coaching diverse women, I saw how many were under-served by one-size-fits-all fitness, especially those with autoimmune conditions or shifting seasons like postpartum or perimenopause. Refinery Strength Collective was born to change that.
Creds & Lived Insight:
- NASM-CPT, Girls Gone Strong L1
- Specialty: Autoimmune-aware, female physiology, power development
- Philosophy: Faith-forward, science-driven, client-led
Values:
- Dignity First – You are not your diagnosis or decade.
- Evidence & Empathy – Data + lived experience guide us.
- Progress Over Perfection – I refine; I don’t punish.

Clarity. Direction. A plan you can trust.
This isn’t a sales call—it’s a strategy session designed to help you understand exactly what your body needs to get stronger, feel better, and train with confidence.
During your Strong Strategy Call, we’ll talk through:
- Your current training, health history, and past frustrations
- Energy levels, recovery capacity, and any autoimmune or hormonal considerations
- What’s holding you back from consistent progress
- What kind of support would actually move the needle for you right now
You’ll walk away with:
- Clear next steps (even if we don’t work together)
- A realistic strength path that fits your season of life
- Insight into whether in-person training, virtual coaching, or a program is your best fit
If it feels aligned, I’ll share how coaching with Refinery Strength Collective works and which option would serve you best. No pressure. No guessing. Just honest guidance.
Strong bodies are built with smart strategy. Let’s start there.
