WH Body Refinery - Santa Barbara, California

I started taking Whitney’s class because my cousin recommended it. I am hooked. As an exercise enthusiast, runner and former dancer, I am grateful I landed in this fun, challenging, upbeat, ever changing, toning, dance-like workout that feels good on my body as I age. I’m finally satiated. I have tried many types of group workout classes, worked in gyms and yoga studios all over. Whitney’s classes are better. The classes are positively changing my life mentally, emotionally and physically while adding years to my life. Her movement creativity, structure, push to challenge the body and positive energy are lasting not just during the day I take a class but in the weeks and months following. This is the type of movement that is not only fun and satisfying in the moment but is important for long term health and longevity. Regularly attending WH classes has added to my overall ability to move freely without aches and pains while helping me maintain strength and confidence. I recommend starting at any age as there are different levels and types of classes to try out. I’m SO glad I found this studio. Thank you Whitney!

I have loved doing Whitney Hoover body refinery classes since she first came up to Santa Barbara five years ago! We are so lucky to have such an amazing full body cardio dance strengthening experience here that will leave you not only sweaty but also feeling soo good! Movement is therapy and Whitney’s classes are one of my favorite forms of self care.

I couldn’t recommend Whitney and her classes enough!!! They truly have been life changing for me, and I couldn’t imagine not having her as a part of my workout routine ever week. I’ve been going to her for about 4/5 years now - I have to say I genuinely look forward to her every class. The workouts produce incredible results, the dance driven background is so much fun, and the community and mindset she creates for her classes are unlike any other! I joke all the time that she’s not only crucial to my workout health - but my mental health, her classes remove me from my day to day, and I leave truly as my best self in the perfect mindset. (Sort of like therapy) lol All in all I couldn’t recommend her more, and am so grateful she exits!!

High energy, puts your mind to work, and incredible for the bod. My kids and husband literally push me out the door. I always come home stronger and on a high. Win win!
