The team
Our coaches
Every coach on our team has lived experience navigating South Asian culture, food, and family pressures around health. We don't just understand the science — we understand your world.
Founder & Head Coach
Arjav Chhabra
Arjav started his fitness journey at 16 years old. After being overweight his entire childhood, he set out on a 60 lb weight loss journey that changed his life. Along the way he experienced extreme weight fluctuation, eating disorders, and every mistake a beginner could make. He turned those hard lessons into a coaching philosophy — helping others avoid the same pitfalls and build a relationship with fitness that actually lasts.
Coach
Bhargava Elavarthi
Bhargava began his fitness journey in powerlifting and transitioned into bodybuilding — a discipline he has been training in for over five years. He brings deep practical knowledge of South Indian diets and how to optimise protein and macros within those eating patterns. His approach is grounded in both the science of hypertrophy and the cultural nuance his clients need.
