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
NASM Certified Personal Trainer
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, disordered eating, 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.
Founded in 2022, Junoon Coaching was built from Arjav's lived experience navigating South Asian culture, family pressures, and a food environment that wasn't designed with his community in mind. His NASM certification, combined with that cultural fluency, is what makes his approach uniquely effective for Indian and South Asian clients worldwide.
Coach
Specialisation: Hypertrophy & South Indian Nutrition
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.
Growing up with multiple food allergies, Bhargava learned early how to build a high-performance diet with significant constraints. That experience makes him especially skilled at crafting nutrition plans for clients with dietary restrictions, intolerances, or specific regional food preferences.
