About

Afya (ah-fee-yah) is Swahili for “health” and was founded by Alonté Cuffee, a NASM-Certified Personal Trainer based in Washington, D.C.

​

Afya was created with the mission of making personal training and wellness resources more accessible—especially for individuals and communities that have historically been underserved. We are passionate about supporting those who lack access to healthy food, proper nutrition, and reliable health education.

​

However, regardless of your background, experience level, or starting point, Afya creates personalized training programs tailored to your goals while providing the education needed to build sustainable healthy habits and a strong, empowered mindset.
