Welcome, my friend,

I am DeAnne C. Gauya, MS, CPT, LMT, NCBTMB, E-RYT 500. 

I am the Creative Energetic Orchestrator (CEO) of my brand, GAUYAFIT, and the creator of GAUYAFIT Optimal Aging Training, helping Midlifers become the greatest of all time versions of themselves.  

I am on a mission to help as many people (55 - 80 y.o.a.) as I can by providing customized, holistic fitness solutions and redesigned lifestyles so that Midlifers can live full, resilient, happy, and healthy lives well into their 80's and beyond. 

I am a proponent of Preventive and Lifestyle Medicine.  My classes and trainings blend ancient wisdom from Buddhism and Yoga with the latest research in Exercise Science, Nutrition, Mind-Body Medicine, and Neuroscience. 


I am a passionate, life-long learner motivated to share what I have learned and help as many people as possible in my lifetime.  I am also a mom to two young adults and two cats.  At 60, I want to continue learning, growing, and evolving.  This year, I want to learn how to surf (on a board in the ocean), offer retreats, and learn how to paint mandalas.

I have helped 1,000s of clients across the country, from Hollywood stars to White House staff members, develop healthier lifestyles and improve their fitness.  I helped Alfre Woodard physically prepare to audition to play Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do With It?.  I trained members of the White House Staff and the Secret Service from 1990 -1992.   I have helped clients with autoimmune diseases, physical disabilities, and octogenarians.

In 2020, I adapted and reinvented my business once again; transitioning my services and educational programs to online/virtual platforms.  This new way of doing business allows me to reach people all over the world and help exponentially more people.  For the past 40 years, I have continually improved my knowledge and skills. 

I have a master's degree in Nutrition Education & Applied Physiology from Columbia University and a bachelor's degree in Biology, Psychology, and German from Bucknell University. I am an ACE-Certified Personal Fitness Trainer (specializing in Mind/Body Fitness and Behavior Change), an ACE-Certified Group Fitness Instructor, an E-RYT-500 Yoga Instructor, a licensed and BCTMB-Certified Massage Therapist, and have completed two professional, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction trainings with Jon Kabat Zinn. In 2021, I completed the Inner MBA program, a joint program offered by Sounds True, LinkedIn, and New York University.
