Beachbody, which is part of Product Partners LLC, was recently ranked #69 on Entrepreneurs Magazine’s Hot 500 list of the fastest growing companies in America.

At the pace it is going, Beachbody could end up being one of the largest network marketing companies around. The business opportunity is currently only available to U.S. residents but there are plans to open up the business to other countries very soon. Beachbody’s success comes from the awesome marketing strategies that have put in place. They infomercials consistently rate #1 and #2 for 2 of their most popular products, P90x, and Insanity. Another reason for Beachbody’s growth in popularity is that the products actually work.  Beachbody has a workout for anyone at any fitness level and although they are DVDs, it is as if you are working out with a personal trainer right in your own home. Beachbody’s workout program produce results and they are the perfect word of mouth products which is why they created the Beachbody Coach home business opportunity.

Woman Says Workouts Loosened Disease’s Grip

A woman diagnosed with a progressive form of multiple sclerosis has credited an exercise video with putting her in the best shape of her life.

For someone who never thought she’d walk again, Cammie Lusk has made huge strides. Until a year ago, Lusk was confined to a wheelchair.

“I’m laying in bed, I go to get out of bed and I can’t get out bed and I would have to have my husband pick me up and put me into that wheelchair,” she said.

In 1998, Lusk’s life changed. At 28, and with young children, doctors diagnosed her and didn’t have much hope.
“When I turned 40, I’d be in a nursing home,” Lusk said.

Within three years, she couldn’t walk, play with her children or get out of bed by herself. She slipped deeper and deeper into depression.

“I look in the mirror and my eyes are dead. I get into the bathroom and my eyes are dead because I was beaten — that disease beat me,” Lusk said.

Her husband said the family struggled with her.

“I became extremely overweight — asthma, heart problems, chest pains, normal everyday things were slowly taking their toll on me,” said Dan Lusk.

Then an infomercial caught his attention.

For him, it was like the P90x and its founder Tony Horton were speaking directly to him.
The infomercial showed a workout program that touted results in 90 days, results that would transform bodies and lives. Dan ordered it.

“I did it for me because I didn’t like the person I had become,” he said.

He started his rigorous workouts. His children soon joined. Lusk watched from her wheelchair. Dan kept encouraging her to join.

“Dan was saying, ‘Do this, you can do this. Come on, come here — you can do this,’” Lusk said.

They began working out every day as a family. She gained strength in her arms and then her legs.

They replaced e-mails with healthy shakes, and the weight came off — 76 pounds within a year.

With the weight loss came a desire to prove her diagnosis wrong. She went from 45 prescriptions to just one.

Lusk spends time out of her wheelchair and is determined to walk again.

“And that is when I knew MS didn’t have me anymore, I had me, and I can do this,” she said. The disease loosened its grip.

‘”We always looked back at the times when we were dating and first married, and those were the best times of our marriage,” Dan said. “Not anymore — every day becomes the best time of our marriage.”

The family’s story has already inspired hundreds, including the company that produces the P90x.

Lusk recently won the company’s transformation challenge, and received $25,000.

Carl Daikeler, the CEO of BeachBody, sent this statement to KETV NewsWatch 7:

“When we created P90X, Shakeology and our Beachbody distributor network, I would not have guessed a woman in Cammie’s condition would inspire people so deeply. More than the person who lost 100 pounds or the guy who looks like a body builder, Cammie demonstrates that anyone with the right tools and the right attitude can achieve amazing things. She inspires me.”

Shakeology eliminates cravings and hunger, it really does. I drink it everyday, not as a meal replacement but as   a midday snack. I’ve found that it has helped curb my sweet tooth and I find myself now craving Shakeology.

Shakeology’s facebook fan page recently posted this question to all of their facebook fans:

“What junk food did you stop craving since drinking Shakeology?”

This is what they had to say, the following are real comments from real people taken from Shakeology’s facebook fan page:

Here is a video of the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler, being a little silly while doing the new Turbo Fire workout. It is nice to Carl cut loose a little bit, and yes, this is the same Carl Daikeler that is in the Invitation To Become A Beachbody Coach video. The Turbo Fire workout looks pretty tough, Carl seemed winded after 1 minute.

Need New P90x or Insanity Workout Sheets?

Keeping track of your progress is a big part of any workout program, especially P90x and Insanity. By keeping track of the amount of weight you used, and the number of reps you’ve completed with good form, you will be able to track your progress and this will also be able to make a note on if you need to use lighter or heavier weight next time you do the workout. Also remember that I said keep track of the number of reps you completed with good form, it doesn’t matter how much weight you lift or how many times, if your form is bad you are wasting your time and also risking injury.

Jennie Garth Does P90x

You may remember her as Brenda Walsh’s rival, Kelly Taylor, in the popular 90’s hit show 90210. Now Jennie Garth is back for the 2010 version of the show where she plays the High School Counselor. Jennie still looks amazing and if you were wondering what she is doing to stay in such great shape and young looking, Jennie Garth does P90x.

I found this at www.PeopleStyleWatch.com and this is what Jenny had to say about the P90x Exercise Program:

“Every day is different,” she says. “One day is really hard yoga. Then arms and shoulders, legs, then karate. His (Tony Horton’s) program is made to confuse the muscles so you don’t plateau. I feel better now than I ever have.”

Keep in mind that all of the celebrities doing P90x are not being paid for their glowing reviews, they truly love the workout. This says a lot for Beachbody and P90x, it is the real deal.

Beachbody and Chalean Johnson have done it again, they’ve create the ultimate cardio workout, Turbo Fire. The Turbo Fire workout programs consists of 12 workout on 11 DVD’s and also comes with a nutrition guide so you’ll know what you should be eating. Below is a video a behind the scenes look at Turbo Fire where you’ll can see the cast, here what fires them up, and what they think of Chalean’s new workout.

Is Beachbody’s Coaching home business opportunity a pyramid scam?

For some reason, many people associate network marketing and multi-level marketing companies with pyramid scams. I think it is because of the fact that to become a Beachbody Coach, you have to sign up under somebody, and that somebody benefits from everything that you do. Ok, sound I guess I could see how that could kind of bother someone, but how is it different from any other job where you work for an hourly rate?

Let’s use a sandwich maker at Subway as an example. A worker at Subway has to make subs and no matter what he gets paid the same hourly rate. If customers come pouring in and the worker has to bust his butt to keep up, he still gets the same pay as if the place was empty and he was just standing around. However, if you are the owner of the business, the busier you are, the more money you make. It seems kind of unfair that the busy Subway maker makes the same amount while the owner, who is generally not even there, makes more money. It is hard to stay motivated as an hourly worker.

Here is how the Beachbody business works in short; It costs $40 to become a Beachbody Coach, $0 of that $40 goes to the person you sign up under. If you sell something, you get a 25% commission, and everyone above you gets what is called Team Volume and they are able to earn small bonuses on that volume if they qualify for it. The only way the Coach you signed up under is successful is if you are successful. So they want to help and do everything they can to make sure you’ll be successful, everybody wins. It is a great concept.

The point is, at most  jobs, there is someone above you reaping the rewards of your hard work. You have 2 options, to be leveraged, or to leverage others. Joining a network marketing company and becoming the owner of your own business, such as Beachbody allows you to start “leveraging” others.

The famous billionaire oil baron John Paul Getty once said;

“I’d rather have one percent of the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent of my own efforts.”

And that is what network marketing is all about, all it takes is everyone doing just a little bit to be successful. Here is great video of my buddy Cedrick Harris talking about pyramid scams.
