Becoming A Beachbody Coach

Congratulations to Katelyn who got amazing results from Hip Hop Abs, P90x, and Shakeology!

Not only did Katelyn lose 30 pounds, she also won $500 from The Beachbody Challenge. Check out Katelyn’s before and after pictures below:

Achieved By Working Out And Drinking Shakeology!

Hear Katelyn’s story in here own words below:

“I’ve never been very happy with my body. I’d work out for a week, then stop and go right back to the kind of diet that would make a 10-year-old boy proud. It was just easier to ignore my self-esteem issues and just keep gorging myself. But last year, I got hurt and I lost everything in a house fire.

I was devastated. So I went overboard, eating everything I could to blot out the anxiety. Luckily, I had a friend who was a Beachbody Coach. She told me how Beachbody helped her with her self-destructive issues. But I didn’t get it until one night—after I’d inhaled a bag of chips and my fourth soda—I realized that I was the problem. In order to change, I had to want to change.

So I called Nyle and she recommended Hip Hop Abs since I’d danced in musicals and show choirs. I fell in love—the music, the constant moving and grooving, Shaun T. Somehow he knew how to say the right thing at the right time. (I wish I could have Shaun T narrate my life!)

Nyle told me about Shakeology and it was amazing. It’s delicious and helped control my cravings entirely. Plus, it gave me all the energy I needed, and got me ready for my next workout—P90x. I was terrified at first, but when I finished the first workout without throwing up, I felt like the strongest woman alive. Tony kept me going—he’s both intense and goofy, which motivates me perfectly.

Today, I can’t even believe the difference in my life. My before-and-after photos are amazing. I’ve lost more than 30 pounds. I sleep better. I don’t huff and puff up stairs anymore. I’m so much stronger. My posture is better. I like myself. And the other day I went to buy jeans and started crying in the store. My boyfriend was worried until I told him that I was crying because I was so happy.

Thanks, Beachbody.” – Katelyn

Congratulations to Katelyn on her amazing results!

Congratulations to David R. who got amazing results with the Ultimate Reset. David lost 40 pounds in just 21 days without exercising (the Ultimate Reset program specifically says NOT to exercise.) Not only did David lose 40 pounds, but he also won $500, and discovered how to eat healthy. Check out David’s Ultimate Reset results picture below.

Ultimate Reset Results

From the picture above, you can see that David started out at 736 pounds, and is now down to 647. He admits that he still has a long way to go, but he’s on his way!

Below is David’s story in his own words.

“I have been heavy throughout my whole life and have lived in solitude, escaping to my games, which got very lonely at times. I have been on food stamps for at least 2 years because I have been unemployed and was forced to live out of my car while I was in Oregon because I had no money. I interviewed for several jobs but once they saw me I was pretty much told that the position was filled…no one would hire me in the condition I was in. I had pretty much given up hope on life. I was destined for certain death if I did not make some type of change. It was time to do or die.

My mom had recommended I try the Ultimate Reset because of all the testimonials she was hearing from all the people who were using it. She offered to have me come and stay for 21 days and monitor everything. I reluctantly agreed.

I’m not going to lie, I was really hesitant to try the program because I saw some of the foods on nutrition plan and knew most of them were not my favorites. My meals prior to the Ultimate Reset consisted of fast food pizza, Angus 1/3 pounds burgers with fries and a large soft drink and that was pretty much a revolving door for me. But the Ultimate Reset foods were delicious! I didn’t expect that. I was going to bed early and actually getting a good night’s rest. It taught me the proper way to prepare my meals and that I could eat smaller portions and not be hungry. Seeing the weight drop off has motivated me to make this a way of life.

I began the reset at 736 pounds and lost a total of 40 pounds in the entire 21 days. While I was hesitant in the beginning about the whole thing, I stuck by the menu plan the entire 21 days. I actually have continued the program and now lost a total of 93 lbs! I experienced things on the reset that I never expected to see in my life: more energy and waking up and realizing that I had a good night sleep. Can’t remember the last time I had either one of these two things. The Ultimate Reset was a great start to my new future & even though I know I have a long way to go, it’s given me hope of a normal life. Once I get down to what I believe is a good weight for my height, I will set out to help young kids who are in the same predicament that I was in and I think my testimonial will be a great start for all of them.”

Congratulations on great results so far David, you’re an inspiration to us all!

Congratulations to Ashley C. who lost 26 pounds, 29.5 inches overall, and dropped 3 pants sizes in 90 days with ChaLean Extreme. Plus she won $500 by entering her results in the Beachbody Challenge.

It wasn’t only Ashley’s physical appearance that has benefited, this is Ashley had to say:

“I am now a better parent, a better role model, and a better person.” – Ashley C.

Check out Ashley’s before and after pictures.

Below is Ashley’s full story in her own words:

“Before I started ChaLEAN Extreme, I was in a bad place, mentally and physically. I had NO energy, no confidence and an extremely negative self-image. I was disgusted by looking at pictures of myself. And I used food and alcohol to “medicate” my emotions.

I was not the mother, wife, sister or friend that I wanted to be. But I didn’t know how to change. One of my friends started a fitness group on Facebook and I “lurked” there all the time, thinking that there was no way I could ever do that. No way that I could ever make that lifestyle change….

Then, in February when my best friend had major complications giving birth to her son, I had a complete breakdown. Years of pent-up stuff hit me, and I totally lost it. The next day I saw a post on Facebook from my dear friend and she had one spot in her 90 Day Challenge Group class…and I HAD TO HAVE IT!

My friend, Shelly H. who is a Beachbody Coach, saved me. She pushed me when I needed pushing and was a friend when I needed a friend. She never gave up and neither did I. She started me on ChaLEAN Extreme and Shakeology and I have never looked back.

At my 90-day weigh-in, I had lost 26 pounds, 29.5 inches overall, and dropped 3 pants sizes. I stopped using alcohol and food to cope with life’s stresses. I am now a better parent, a better role model, and a better person. My hair, skin, and nails have never been healthier, my mind has never been clearer, and my future has never been so bright. As a Beachbody Coach, I am helping women who face the same problems I overcame.

I finally feel like I have found why I am here on this earth! I have a divine purpose in life, coaching and guiding others through their journey. I seem to be attracting positivity everywhere I go. Man, it feels GOOD!”

What an inspiring and motivating story. Congratulations Ashley on your amazing results!

Every week hundreds of real people submit there results for a chance at winning the Beachbody Challenge. If you’re interested in taking the Challenge and submitting your own results, you can find information on how to get started by clicking here.

Read Mariana’s story in here own words below:

“I can’t remember the last time my weight wasn’t on my mind. It has been a constant battle since I was 9. I was the girl who spent tons of money on trainers. I’d go the first week, then find excuses to stop. I’d do CRAZY diets, then quit and gain everything back. I was completely unhealthy.

When I was at my heaviest, I was sitting on the couch one night eating chocolate when I came across an INSANITY infomercial. I was so impressed with the results that people were having that I decided to Google “insanity” and “insanity results.” I stayed up ‘til 4 am looking at transformations and wishing it was me.

Best of all, I convinced myself to stop wishing and start doing! One of the transformations that caught my eye was from a Beachbody Coach named Melinda. I emailed her and the next day she replied. She asked about me and asked about my goals, then sent me some info about Turbo Fire and said I would love it.

She was so right. The punching, kicking and jumping keeps me pumped throughout the whole day. The music is AMAZING and Chalene motivates me to keep doing more than I did the last time. I FEEL AMAZING! I can say for the first time that I am HAPPY, HEALTHY, and PROUD. I still have to pinch myself to believe it, but I lost 26.5 lbs. with 90 days of Turbo Fire.

And I’m a completely changed person. There’s no room for negativity in my life. I didn’t stop with Turbo Fire. I’m now doing P90x and I’m planning to BRING IT with another program.

Best of all, I became a Coach because I feel like my results can inspire people to become fit and healthy. I learned that I am much stronger than I thought and am capable of achieving my goals through hard work. I’m happy.”

Congratulations on your hard work Mariana!

Don’t Talk So Much

This post is for people that are already Beachbody Coaches, and may be helpful to those that are thinking about becoming a Beachbody Coach because it will give them an idea of what they are expected to do if they decide to sign up.

As a Coach, it is important to understand the business model, and what you will actually be doing as a Beachbody Coach. I think the word “Coach” confuses a lot of people as they think they will actually be coaching people when in comes to proper form and technique, but this isn’t the case. Everything a customer needs to get great results has already been created by Beachbody. The trainers in the workout videos do a great job of showing how all of the moves should be performed, and the nutrition guides that come with every workout program handle all of the nutrition side of things. You don’t have to be an expet on health and nutrition in order to be a successful Beachbody Coach.

If you serious about generating a large income from your Beachbody business, I want you to forget about the “fitness” side of things right now and focus on the “business” side of things. To make things simple, for Coaches to grow their business and earn income they need to do 2 things, sell products, and sponsor new Coaches into the business.

Making sales is pretty self explanatory, while understanding the importance of sponsoring new Coaches into the business can be more complicated for newer Coaches. It is very important to understand the network marketing business model and the leverage you are able to get from sponsoring new Coaches and growing a team. When sponsoring new Coaches into the business, you aren’t just trying to make money off of someone, but you have a true vested interest in seeing any new Coaches you sponsor do well. It is not about making a one time sale, or just  ”getting them” signed up, but rather building a long term relationship.

Below, I lay out simple 8 steps that anyone can use to invite someone to take a look at there business. I have to credit Eric Worre for this as I’m using the strategies I learned from his Recruiting Mastery Course. (Which is a great course that I highly recommend.)

The steps below are used when inviting to a 3rd party tool, which is what you always want to be doing. Don’t try to explain the business in your own words, always use a 3rd party tool.

Before you get started with the 8 steps invite process, here are a few things to consider:

• Emotionally detach yourself from the outcome (if the prospect is interested great, if not, no big deal, one person won’t affect your overall end result)
• Be yourself, be enthusiastic (how you says things is often more important than the actual words)
• Posture yourself, you have the solution to their problems, you don’t need them, they need you

8 Step Invitation Process

These steps are to be used face-to-face, or over the phone, they can’t be used in an email or a facebook post. So many people are making facebook posts on their wall that say, “join my group, team, or whatever”, and that is generally ineffective. Face-to-face and phone calls will yield much better results. Let me repeat that, face-to-face and a phone call will get you a much better result.

Step 1 – Be in a hurry

Example, “I don’t have a lot of time to to talk right now, but I wanted to show you something real quick.”

Being in a hurry will keep the conversation short, which will prevent you from having to answer questions or getting the urge to explain things, remember, the less explaining of facts you do, the better off you’ll be.

I personally think it would be kind of weird to call someone if you were in a hurry, so a good strategy is to send a text message that says, “give me a call when you have a few minutes to chat, I want to talk to you about something”. And when the person calls you back, you could be “in the middle of something right now, so I only have a few minutes to talk…”

Step 2 – Give a sincere compliment

Example, “I was thinking…who are the sharpest people I know? And I thought of you.”

Giving a sincere compliment is critical, this will make the prospect much more agreeable to hearing what you have to say.

Step 3 – Make the invitation

Direct approach example – “Let me ask you a question, off the record. If there were a business you could start working part-time from home that could replace your full-time income, would that interest you?”

Indirect approach – “I’ve just started a new business and I’m scared to death. Before I get going I need to practice on someone friendly  Would you mind if I practiced on you?”

The above are  just two examples, what you actually say and they question you ask will depend on who you are talking to and if you are using a direct approach, or an indirect approach.

Step 4 – If I_____, would you_____?

This is when you will offer your 3rd party tool, but not until they agree to do something in return. Here are a few examples:

“If I sent you an email with a link to a webpage that contained a 12 minute video that laid out all of the information in a professional way, would you watch it?”

“If I gave you a CD that described the business, would you listen to it?

If you’ve done the first 3 steps properly, the answer will be yes 99% of the time (but this doesn’t mean they will actually review your 3rd party tool, following the next steps will insure they actually do review your material).

If they say no, thank them for their time and move on. No big deal. But review steps 1-3 to see what you could possibly have done better.

Step 5 – Get a time commitment

Example, “When do you think you can watch the video for sure?”

Don’t suggest a time for them, let them give you the time. If they give you a hard time and will not give a definite time, just say, “I don’t want to waste your time or mine. Why don’t we just try to lock in a time you’ll have seen it for sure?”

Locking in a time commitment will mean the prospect has now said “yes” twice, this is key.

Step 6 – Confirm

If the person tells you they will be able to watch the video on Sunday, your response would be, “so if I called you on Monday you’ll have seen the video for sure right?”

When they say yes, this will be the third time this person has said yes and now you have a definite appointment set for the future.

Step 7 – Get A Time And Number

Simply confirm the best number and time to reach them at.

Example, “Should I call you on your cell?…What’s the best time for me to call?”

Some of this may seem redundant  but it’s key to reaching your goal of getting the prospect to follow through and review your 3rd party tool.

Step 8 – Get off the phone

You’re in a hurry remember, get off the phone before the urge to explain kicks in and you start rambling.

This is just a basic example of the 8 step invitation process. What you actually say will depend on who you are talking to and what approach you are taking. Don’t forget to:

• Be in a hurry
• give a sincere compliment

These 2 steps are very important and often overlooked. If you can’t think of a sincere compliment to give this person, you might want to rethink if  this is someone you want to actually work with.

What 3rd party tool should I use?

What 3rd party tool you want to use is up to you. If you are speaking with someone face-to-face, a real, tangible object is best. If you have a DVD to give them, or a CD, that will work best. On the phone, a link to a website or video is my favorite option. Here is an example of a simple 3rd party tool I like to use: http://see-my-results.com/

The more you practice this, the better you will get at it. No one is great at this stuff right from the start. This entire process, the whole conversation should be less than 3 minutes long.  If you’d like me send me you a pdf that you can print out with more scripts for ideas on what to say, send me over an email and I’d be happy to send it to you.

I will go over what to say on your follow up call in another post very soon. Give this 8 step invite process a try and let me know what kind of results you get.

The video below is kind of silly, in it a young kid invites the President of the United States to take a look at his 3rd party tool using the 8 steps I listed above:

I’m adding the Toronto Blue Jays to my list of professional athletes that do Beachbody workouts!

Is Insanity a tough workout?…If it’s good enough for professional athletes, I’d have to say yes, it is a tough workout. But “tough” may not be the right word for the Insanity workout because it is designed for anyone at any fitness level. Basically if you get to tired, you just take a short break to catch your breath, then jump back in and how far you progress over the course of 60 days will amaze you.

What Is The Insanity Workout?

Recently it was reported by thespec.com that some of the Toronto Blue Jays were getting together early at the clubhouse and doing the Insanity workout as part of their spring training regime. Josh Thole, A.J. Jimenez, and Henry Blanco are some of the players mentioned that were arriving at the clubhouse at 5:30 a.m. and getting in an Insanity workout. It was also mentioned that there were some officials that were also taking part in the workouts.

With the average professional MLB player’s salary being $3.2 million dollars a year (2012), these are guys that can definitely afford to workout with professional trainers and top of the line equipment. When I think of how professional athletes train, I get the picture in my head of Ivan Drago from Rocky IV training with all of the fancy equipment and a room full of scientists in lab coats documenting and tracking every move. (If you’ve never seen Rocky IV, shame on you, but you can watch the video clip here to see what I’m talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwBH3Fj1zSc.)

Although professional baseball players make a lot of money, I’m not surprised that they are doing the Insanity workout. Insanity is a great workout that gets results. It’s not a magic pill, or a secret drink that melts away fat overnight. Insanity is a hard workout, and that is what it takes to get long lasting results.

Also, it was mentioned that the Blue Jays’ manager, John Gibbons, lost 22 pounds doing P90x. And he didn’t stick to the diet, and only made it through 75 days instead of the entire 90 because of an injury. P90x is made by the same company that makes Insanity, so these guys know how to get results.

Those are some amazing before and after pictures. Below is Caitlin’s story in her own words:

“As an 18 year old, I was insecure and depressed about my body. At 22, not much had changed. When looking down, I couldn’t see my feet over my stomach, was too embarrassed to date, and refused to have a full length mirror in my room. Since I wouldn’t buy myself bigger clothes, I wore the same two outfits over and over again.

Then one day, I decided I was tired of that life and bought Turbo Fire. Figured it was a good choice, considering I’d grown up dancing. But apparently, I still lacked the motivation to change because I used every excuse in the book as to why I didn’t have time to work out while cramming my face with fast food at 1:30 am. So when I got my lab results back and my doctor told me that I had Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease, and Colitis, I wasn’t surprised. Everything I ate upset my stomach and I never had any energy. My doctor had a heart-to-heart with me about my health, and in that moment something clicked—the very next day I dusted off the Turbo Fire DVD’s, started working out religiously, and drastically changed my diet.

Fast forward a few months and so far, I’ve lost 37 pounds and have gained an immeasurable amount of confidence. I’ve completely transformed my body with Turbo Fire and have never been healthier. I don’t even recognize myself in the mirror anymore (my full- length mirror). And for the first time, in a long, long time, I actually smile at my reflection. I’ve given up drinking sodas and juice, and haven’t eaten out in over 8 months. I’m no longer scared to meet new people and simply feel great about life. I even have an incredible boyfriend who encourages me to work out and eat healthy daily.

While Turbo Fire transformed my entire body, it made the greatest impact on my middle, because finally, I have a six-pack. So when I look in the mirror and see what I see, I thank God everyday for getting me off my butt and doing this with my life. And, of course, I thank Beachbody for teaming up with Chalene to create her amazing and inspirational life-changing workouts.”

Congratulations Caitlin! You are an inspiration and motivation to us all!

Does Shakeology Give You Energy?

Many people ask me the question, “does Shakeology give you energy?”

And my answer to that question is, “yes”. But is it important to understand how Shakeology gives people energy. Shakeology gives people energy in a natural way. Shakeology is not a stimulant and it isn’t supposed to give you a surge of energy the way a cup of coffee, a Red Bull, or a 5 Hour Energy would. The “energy” that one gets from a cup of coffee or an energy drink is the caffeine at work. Caffeine is actually considered a drug, and it shares a number of traits with the more harmful drugs amphetamines, cocaine, and heroin. Obviously caffeine is not as dangerous as those drugs that I mentioned, and some studies show that caffeine actually has some health benefits.

I’m not knocking caffeine or coffee, I drink 1 or 2 cups a day myself. The point I want to make is that the energy you get from Shakeology is not the same as the spurt of energy you get from a cup of coffee. Typically the caffeine “high” will wear off after a couple of hours whereas the energy one gets from Shakeology will last throughout the day. Many people “crash” sometime in the afternoon a few hours after lunch. This crash may be cause because the caffeine is wearing off. With Shakeology, that “crash” is eliminated and you feel energetic all day long. Read the testimonial below from just on of our happy customers:

“Shakeology has really changed my life in more ways than one. I didn’t have a lot of weight to lose—just about 10 pounds. I had been exercising on a regular basis but was still having trouble losing those last few pounds. So I started to drink a glass of Shakeology once a day. I noticed within the first week that my energy level had soared! I couldn’t believe how much better I felt. I was also sleeping better at night and didn’t need that second cup of coffee later in the morning to get me through the day. Getting up at 4:30 every morning to work out was easier too. I attribute that to getting a better night’s sleep, as this has been a chronic problem with me for a long time.” -Patrica L. 48, Staples Minnesota

So How Does Shakeology Give You Energy?

There are several ingredients in Shakeology that will give you energy. I’ve listed them below as well as how they specifically work:

Green Tree Extract - Green tea extract contains many different phytonutrients (plant nutrients) called catechins, which are potent antioxidants. While green tea extract contains a tiny bit of caffeine, it also contains a powerful catechin called epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG for short. (What the hell is a Catechin?)

So in the regular language, what does the green tree extract do and how does it work?

A recent study showed that green tea supplements increased fat metabolism at rest and carbohydrate metabolism during moderate exercise. This study gave volunteers either a drink containing green tea extract or a placebo (a drink that looked just like the green tea drink). This study was double-blind, placebo controlled, which means there was very little chance of cheating or bias because neither the participants nor the scientists knew who was getting what until after all the blood samples were collected, tested and analyzed.

Shakeology also contains these B Vitamins which are known for increasing energy, among having many other benefits:

• Thiamin, also know as vitamin B1
• Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2
• Niacin, also known as vitamin B3
• Pantothenic Acid, also known as vitamin B5

If you dig a little deeper and do further research, you’ll find that each of these B vitamins that I’ve listed above all have a handful benefits. These are just some of the ingredients that are going to provide you with a steady stream of energy through out day. You can view the entire Shakeology ingredient list at the link below:
