Every body has a story. Massy Arias’ insanely chiseled physique is a  story of strength but also one of perseverance, helping her overcome the odds and become an Instagram- famous fitness guru with millions of followers—2.6 million and counting—including celeb stans SZA and Chris Hemsworth.

Even her tats tell tales. “I have a koi on my right side going upstream, which symbolizes me going through a hard time but still pushing through,” Arias says,  referencing the intricate fish ink next to her sculpted six-pack. “The lady on my shoulder? That’s my mom looking over my heart.”

Formerly known on social media as MankoFit, Arias has built up  an impressive body of work  that includes a CoverGirl  endorsement, a Fabletics  collection, a supplement line, an in-the-works book, and a brand-new fitness app, aptly named Empowered by Massy Arias, that launched in October with a 30-day challenge kickoff. All this before she hit 30. It’s hard to believe, then, that just seven years ago, Arias couldn’t do one pushup.

Massy Arias Takes Us Inside Her World

Massy Arias wasn't always the ultra-fit queen of Instagram fitness inspo she is today.

In fact, when she began her own fitness journey back in 2012 as a way to overcome a debilitating depression, she could barely pull off three measly push-ups. But she kept at it, striving to perfect her form with measurable improvements every time she entered a gym. And now, seven years later, she's not only got herself a set of abs that could cut glass, but a following of nearly 3 million on IG, known as the MA Warriors, who turn to her for advice on how to get their bodies tight and their minds right through her program, the MA 30-Day Challenge.

Along the way, the Dominican Republic native previously known online as MankoFit has written ebooks, become an ambassador for Target's C9 Champion brand and CoverGirl, welcomed baby girl Indi into the world with husband Stefan Williams, and earned co-signs from the likes of Gabrielle Union, SZA and Kehlani.
