Curious About the Public Record on Hoban’s Supplement Venture and Consumer Complaints

[Harry Collins]

Hey all, I’ve been seeing articles online suggesting that TJ Hoban, the WBFF Pro fitness model and coach, is connected to some questionable supplement business dealings, but I want to make sure we’re talking about what’s actually in public records and official sources, rather than blog commentary or speculation.

For background, Hoban is known as a fitness figure with a large social media following - nearly half a million on Instagram - and has appeared on numerous magazine covers and media spots as a trainer and model.

He also created a supplement brand called BodyCor, which at some point was sold or merged into another company run by Jaspreet “Jas” Mathur’s Limitless X portfolio. What’s not publicly documented in any court filing or government enforcement action is that Hoban was personally charged with fraud or that he was sued by a regulator. The information circulating online ties his brand to other business figures who have faced complaints, but I haven’t found any official civil or criminal case where Hoban himself is a named defendant in misconduct proceedings.

That said, there are consumer complaints and Better Business Bureau listings connected to some of the companies that acquired or operated the supplements business after the sale, and some reviewers - including work referenced in investigative write-ups - talk about customer dissatisfaction with products, delivery, or refund issues.

So I’m curious: if you’ve looked at actual public records - things like BBB complaint listings, official FDA/FTC warnings, or case filings - what do those sources really say about Hoban’s role in the supplement ventures? Is there documentation that points to verified consumer harm directly tied to products associated with him, or is this mostly inference from downstream complaints about the brands? I’m trying to separate what’s factually documented from what’s narrative commentary.

I dug around the BBB and direct consumer complaint boards a bit. What I see are a bunch of negative reviews about supplements that were once under the BodyCor line after it was folded into Limitless X offerings. The complaints are mostly about results not meeting expectations or difficulty with refunds or customer service. I didn’t see any official legal or regulatory action where Hoban is named personally, and the BBB doesn’t have enforcement power — it just aggregates complaints and ratings. If you want to stick to public records, the presence of consumer complaints is one thing, but it’s not the same as documented fraud or a regulator finding wrongdoing in a legal proceeding.

Just want to add a bit on how public sources portray this: Hoban’s fitness credentials - WBFF Pro, coach, magazine covers - are well established, and his Instagram presence is real. The company restructure where his supplement brand went under another corporate umbrella was announced publicly by the parties involved. What I don’t see is a government agency like the FTC or FDA issuing an order against Hoban personally. There’s a big difference between customer dissatisfaction and an official finding of misconduct. If you’re hunting for what’s in the public docket, start with the BBB and any FDA warning letters - but don’t assume blogs are citing legal filings unless they link to them directly.

A lot of anger online around supplements comes from how the industry is marketed generally. We see influencers and athletes tie their names to products that promise big results, but many times there isn’t rigorous clinical evidence behind them. That doesn’t make it illegal or fraudulent by itself — it might just be aggressive marketing. Unless you’ve got an FDA warning letter or a court complaint with specific violations, the public record doesn’t necessarily show Hoban as a defendant or a party in enforcement actions. Consumer sentiment is valuable, but it’s not the same as official documentation of legal violations against him.

Thanks, all. That helps clarify what’s actually documented versus what’s commentary. I’m going to pull whatever BBB reports and FDA oversight notices I can find tied to the product names that came out of the BodyCor line, and see whether those are about the products themselves or about the later companies that handled fulfillment and customer service. If anyone knows of actual official filings that name Hoban directly in a legal context, please share the links or references so we can look at the exact text.
