Whether you're just getting started or you've been at it for years and something still doesn't feel right — we get it. We're Ajay and Tessa. He's got 20+ years in fitness. Together we've done the legwork on training, supplements, and how bodies actually work — because the truth is hard to find in the algorithm. So we're bringing it here.
“ Bodies change. Facts don't. We share the workouts, the supplements, and the honest lessons — because you deserve real answers from real people, not another brand trying to sell you something.
How this started
Ajay's been in this world since he was a kid — competitive soccer, years of strength training, the kind of person who knows how a body responds to work. He knew it wasn't the same for everyone. But knowing that and living it are two different things — and he hadn't really had firsthand experience until we started training together.
A couple months in, things started to change. I got stronger, but I also got more aware — of the days I was extra tired, the hormonal swings, how important strength actually is when your body fights you on it. And then, because I'm a Scorpio, I went down the rabbit hole. The supplements we were taking — what are these? What are they actually doing? Why is my algorithm now plaguing me with every wellness product and fitness hack it can find?
I started pulling threads and didn't stop. The more I learned, the more I realized how much of what's out there is built to sell — not to help. And Ajay was learning too, in real time, that coaching me required a completely different playbook than anything he'd used on himself.
I looked at him and said: we need to help people understand this. That's how Body By A started.

Training programs built around how your body actually works — including hormonal cycles, recovery needs, and the reality that intensity isn't always the answer.
We only recommend products that have been independently tested for purity, label accuracy, and contaminants. We're not a lab — we're people who read the data so you don't have to.
Cortisol. Inflammation. Hormones. The stuff nobody talks about until you're deep in it. We write about our journey on Substack — the wins, the walls, and the things the industry doesn't want you to know.
Workouts
Most programs assume every day is the same. They're not. Your energy shifts, your hormones shift, your capacity for intensity changes throughout the month. Ajay learned this firsthand coaching Tessa — and it changed how he thinks about training entirely.
Whether you're brand new to working out or you've been at it for years and hit a wall you can't explain — we share what we're doing, why, and what we keep learning along the way.

About us
Ajay's been in fitness for over 20 years — from competitive soccer to years of disciplined training. He knew what worked. And then he started training Tessa, and realized the science he'd built his life around was only half the picture. Meanwhile, Tessa went full Scorpio and pulled every thread she could find — hormones, cortisol, supplement labels, the gap between what the industry sells and what the research actually says. Together they built Body By A for anyone who wants real guidance — whether you're just starting out, deep in it and struggling, or somewhere in between.
