Hi, I’m Afia, but I go by Fia.

​

By God’s grace, I’ve been delivered from cycles of sexual sin, lust, vanity, self-idolatry, and the constant craving for acceptance. That desire to be seen and valued even spilled into my fitness journey, where I chased after physical perfection, driven by pride and insecurity. I was pursuing transformation, but for the wrong reasons — rooted in outward appearance rather than inward renewal.

 

But God, in His mercy, revealed the truth: that love and acceptance we are so yearning for, can be only found in Jesus. Is not something we earn or achieve, it has been freely given to us— And that while physical training has some value, it is godliness that holds eternal worth (1 Timothy 4:8).​

​

Now, my life + fitness journey is no longer about performing or perfecting, it’s about pursuing Jesus, and honoring Him with my body.

​​

What began as a desire to feel strong and healthy slowly turned into vanity. I wasn’t training for wellness, I was chasing a body to feel worthy and validated. I was more focused on how I looked than how I was truly doing.

And the truth is, it’s entirely possible to look healthy on the outside, but be deeply unhealthy on the inside. I looked "put together," but I was spiritually dry, mentally overwhelmed, emotionally numb, and disconnected from God. Outward fitness meant nothing when my soul was exhausted and my heart was far from Him.

​

So with that being said, I now have a whole new approach toward fitness. It’s no longer about chasing a number on the scale, sculpting the “perfect” body, or proving something to the world. Now, it’s about stewardship over striving — honoring God with my body, caring for my health as an act of worship, and letting my fitness flow from a place of freedom, not pressure.

​

My workouts are no longer fueled by insecurity or vanity, but by gratitude and discipline. I train not to earn worth, but because I already have it in Christ. I move my body because I can, not because I have to. And I’ve learned that real strength isn’t just physical — it’s spiritual, emotional, and mental too.

​

This new approach is about alignment over achievement — aligning my habits with God’s truth, letting Him renew my mind, and trusting that He’s shaping something far deeper than muscles: He’s shaping my heart.

​

I’m here not as someone who has it all together, but as someone walking this path with you. My heart is to walk alongside women who are ready to trade striving for surrender. And my hope is this: that in sharing my journey, others would be encouraged to invite God into theirs. That more women would lay down the weight of perfection, and pick up the freedom found in Christ. May we choose surrender over striving, wellness over vanity, and worship over performance — together. Let’s pursue wholeness in Him, and inspire one another to honor God with our bodies, minds, and hearts.
