The experience
Exercise doesn’t have to be
hard or stressful.
Refuel sits between doing too much and doing too little.
It’s a chance to let go and, at the same time, do just that little bit more. Your cardio fitness improves. So does your strength. You don’t have to exhaust yourself to get there.
Beautiful classical and crossover music leads. Ludovico Einaudi, Debussy, 2Cellos, Symphoniacs, Lindsey Stirling and many more, including pieces I’ve written myself. It sets the pace so you don’t have to think about it, and it carries you through the parts that would otherwise feel like effort.
It’s time for you. Time to process whatever’s in your head, and then to let it go through music and movement.
No shouting. No intimidation. Nobody leaves more stressed than when they arrived.
You leave worked and open. Clear-headed and quietly energised. Not exhausted.

The full cycle
One hour.
Three parts.
Each part has its own music and its own purpose. You follow the music, and the music has already decided where the session is going.
- 01
Part one
Mobilisation
Movement that raises the heart rate, activates the muscles and mobilises the joints. The music keeps the heart rate in a steady efficient zone. Quality effort, not exhaustion.
- 02
Part two
Cardio kickboxing with functional movement
Punch, kick and enjoy bodyweight functional exercises with your chosen intensity. Classical and crossover music keeps your heart rate in check, so you sustain the effort rather than burning out early.
- 03
Part three
Deep stretch
The part most classes skip. Slow music, slow breathing, and enough time to actually come down. This is where the hour finishes properly, and it’s the part people tell me they didn’t know they needed.
Why music leads
The music isn’t the background.
It’s the pacing.
Most training asks you to regulate your own effort while you’re already out of breath. Refuel hands that job to the music instead.
Fast, structured pieces carry you through the working sections. Slower ones bring you down at the end. You’re not counting, watching a clock, or being shouted at.
Researchers who study music and exercise have found for years that people work at a given effort while feeling like they’re working less when there’s music driving them. Anyone who has run further than they meant to because of a good song already knows this. Refuel is built around it deliberately rather than by accident.

About Jo
The founder
of Refuel.
I’m Jo. I compose music, and I train people. Refuel is what happened when I stopped keeping those two things separate.
Refuel was born through my love of music and movement. I began training at home to classical pieces, and dreamed of working out to live musicians. After tracking my heart rate through my sessions and matching it to what I was listening to, the pattern was consistent enough that I stopped treating the music as the soundtrack and recognised it as a valuable training tool.
I run Refuel in parks and studios around Berlin, online for people across the globe, and as an opener or closing for team workshops who want something more than yoga.
Training doesn’t have to be hard or stressful. That’s the whole idea.
