Beachbody Coaching

Sometimes life gives you an opportunity that seems too good to be true – and usually it is! There are so many “get rich quick” things out there and “miracle pills” and pyramid schemes. I remember Googling “jobs I can do from home” and finding things like “Blogger” and “Medical Transcriptionist”. Those things required the time that I didn’t have and training that I didn’t want to do. I considered going back to school online, but realized that I didn’t want to work away from home after my schooling was complete. I needed something that I could start right away, from home, on my own time, and something that I LOVED. It didn’t seem possible. So I prayed. And prayed. And prayed.

January 2015 I joined my first clean eating accountability group that a friend was hosting. She told me there was a prize at the end, and I’ll be darned – that was my driving motivation for putting my all in to that. The community of support was huge, and us ladies worked together for 2 weeks, all via Facebook, and held each other accountable to eat healthy and exercise. I joined another group…and another. I wanted to be in these groups all the time, and knew I wanted to run a few of my own. I was approached about the coaching opportunity and thought about it and researched it for 3 months (3 months!). If I signed up, I didn’t want to do a half-way job. If I was going to do this, I was going to DO THIS. I felt I just needed to trust The Lord and His guidance and take the leap. April 29^th, 2015 I signed up, and I’ve been all-in ever since.

The benefits of coaching have been more than I ever could imagine. I originally joined because I wanted to help people get fit. Never did I realize the emotional support I would be giving and the friendships I would make. I’ve helped people through eating disorders, divorce, chronic illnesses, unsupportive families, new jobs, sick kids, hospitalizations, surgeries, and their overall view of themselves. There’s something about helping a person grow from a “woe is me” to “I am a badass” that makes. my. life. incredible.

I’m ready to tackle this year and pay it forward.  I see what coaching has done for me and SO many other people, and I get really excited. But first, let me answer a few common questions and misconceptions…

What IS Beachbody? Beachbody is a 10 year old, $250+ million corporation based in Southern California. They are known for their popular DVD fitness series (think Insanity, P90X, The 21 Day Fix, etc – new workouts debuting consistently!) and their high quality fitness gear and nutritional supplements. Is is accredited by the Better Business Bureau. When you sign up with Beachbody, you sign up with a solid company and a best-selling brand.

What Beachbody coaching ISN’T: It is NOT a Get Rich Quick Scheme. You get out of this business what you put in. Someone told me, when I first joined, “Be here in a year.” Give this business 100% for a year and you will be amazed!

What does a coach DO? As a coach, I help people reach their health and fitness goals by utilizing Beachbody's proven systems and products. I work with individuals to see which system would be best for them and their needs, and then support them along the way. Beachbody provides ALL the materials needed to help start someone on their health and fitness journey, and keep them accountable along the way, in whatever capacity they need. I run monthly fitness accountability groups via Facebook for those that want the extra boost of support while reaching their goals. I also help other people start their own coaching business. I give them the necessary tools for success and mentor them throughout the coaching journey. 

Is Team Beachbody a pyramid scheme? No, it is not. Pyramid schemes are actually illegal.

How much time per day should I be working my coaching business? I recommend working an hour per day, to start with. Small steps, when taken consistently, lead to big things :-)

“But I’m not at my goal weight” – so what. SO many coaches are smack dab in the middle of their fitness journey, and no one is every really “done” improving! Some of the most successful and inspirational coaches are the ones who are in the trenches with their challengers.

“But I’m not a health & fitness expert” – That’s totally fine! You don’t need ANY training to be a Beachbody coach. If you join my team, I will PERSONALLY train you, and you will have access to all the training I used.

“But I’m not a salesperson. I’m not good at sales” – Good. Because neither am I. I am simply a product of the product. I eat healthy & exercise, and use Shakeology and the DVD fitness programs because THEY WORK and they are PROVEN to work. They have changed me mentally, physically, and emotionally – and I share that.

How much does it cost to sign up as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach? It costs $40 to sign up, but if you sign up with a challenge pack (DVD workout program + Shakeology) and/or you our your spouse is active duty military, that fee is waived. There is also a monthly fee of $15 for your product websites. The websites are updated automatically, and coaches never have to handle money, customer service, or returns. Someone does that for us! :-D

Do I have to stock inventory? Nope! Customers purchase directly through your website.

What do I need to do to be an active coach? First, if you are working your business, you need to remain an active coach in order to receive credit for your monthly success club (I can explain that more in detail later). To remain active, you must have a Personal Volume (PV) of 50 points per month. If you are being a product of the product and are getting your monthly Shakeology (90 PV), you will be fine! There are a few other ways to receive your 50 PV (Shakeology boosts + performance series purchases), as well.

What are some benefits to coaching? 1. You receive a 25% commission on anything anyone buys from your website. You also get a 25% discount on all Beachbody products. 2. You get paid weekly – every Thursday morning! 3. Access to an entire team of experts in health & fitness. 4. Access to marketing materials and training. 5. Confidence & success! 6. New friends, new passions. 

I really encourage you to TAKE THE LEAP. It's scary, yes, as all big things should be! There's a saying, "If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough." How big are your dreams?
