About AY Well+Fit STUDIO
Our AY WELL+FIT STUDIO (AY, Asase Yaa) mission is to treat wellness and fitness holistically. We want to help motivate adults of all ages and genders to reach peak physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being in a welcoming, familial, and supportive environment that embraces building a healthier lifestyle community.
Our ten class themes integrate a fusion of fun with world music and Indigenous dance styles from West Africa, Soca from the Caribbean, Afrobeat and Hip Hop, which are popular worldwide, and urban line dancing.
We also offer Vinyasa Yoga from India, and more traditional fitness classes, aerobics, boxing, stretch, and HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) for those seeking a high-caliber fitness challenge. Our other services include Reiki, and private massage therapy.
Top professional instructors teach our classes in their areas of specialization. We designed them to be affordable and to help prevent heart diseases, cancer, diabetes, obesity in our community, and to generate measurable improvements in cardio, strength, endurance.
AY WELL+FIT STUDIO is based in Brooklyn, NY. The studio is 3500 sq ft, airy with natural light from windows, wood-sprung floors, air conditioning, and restrooms located directly across from the studio. Floor mats are available for $5. Each class can comfortably accommodate 20 people, which enables us to maintain an intimate and focused environment.
Learn more about the origins of AY Well+Fit Studio
The origins and inspiration for WELL+FIT began about five years ago under the umbrella of Brooklyn-based nonprofit Asase Yaa Cultural Arts Foundation, which is celebrating its 23rd year as one of the city’s most revered African performing arts organizations that services youth 3-18, has an award-winning professional Asase Yaa African American Theater dance/drum ensemble, and the Asase Yaa Theater Company, both which comprise adults.
Asase Yaa’s Executive Director Kofi Osei Williams was initially inspired to create a fitness and wellness space for the parents of youth that were attending their School of the Arts to enjoy. That early iteration featured six classes, but low attendance exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to move locations derailed the concept temporarily. Once Asase Yaa landed a new permanent location, Williams immediately rejuvenated and expanded the concept to a full service wellness and fitness studio.
