ABOUT

Tara Leilani is redefining what it means to move, feel, and live well. As the founder of Bodies By Lei—a philosophy as much as a brand—she blends science, strength, and self-expression to create lasting transformations from the inside out. Her work spans corporate wellness consulting, where she creates innovative activations ranging from panels with leaders in the medical, fitness, and wellness industries to immersive workshops with Michelin-star chefs—curating communities that elevate performance, well-being, and company culture through better health and work-life balance.

 

She works closely with models from elite agencies like DNA and FORD, helping them build sustainable habits that support both their careers and their confidence, approaching health in a way that celebrates strength, longevity, and self-care over extremes. As the creator of the viral Hot Strength EVOLVE classes at Practice Room, Tara has cultivated a signature training style that fuses athletic intensity with mindful movement, drawing a loyal following that spans wellness enthusiasts to industry insiders. Her expertise also extends to one-on-one nutrition coaching, where she designs personalized programs rooted in both science and real-life sustainability.

 

With a background in professional dance, over a decade of personal training, and ongoing advanced academic work in biophysics, Tara brings a unique blend of artistry and science to everything she creates.

 

Whether working with the industry's top models, high-level executives or leading her signature Hot Strength EVOLVE classes, Tara designs experiences that are as elevated as they are effective. Off the mat, her activism with One Love Community Fridge and Surfrider NYC reflects her belief that wellness isn’t just personal—it’s collective. Bodies By Lei is more than a fitness method; it’s a movement toward resilience, beauty, and the bold ownership of your life.
