Since becoming a Team Beachbody Coach, a lot of my friends and people I meet are curious about what I do as a coach and why I decided to become one. After answering this question hundreds of times, I decided I would write a short note to explain the basic premise of the Beachbody Coaching opportunity and why I became a coach.
Many are surprised to find that I actually stumbled into the business opportunity and wasn’t “recruited” by one of the coaches in the network. I was doing a few of the workout programs and was getting better results from home than I had in years of going to the gym. I was also using some of the supplements, including the Core Nutrition Pack, the P90X recovery formula and the protein bars. I also started drinking Shakeology every day and I hate paying retail if I can get it for less. Since I was on “home direct” for my core nutrition pack and the Shakeology, I get a 25% discount on those products as a coach. Being on “home direct” also gets me free shipping so I am saving about $50-60 dollars a month with the discount and the free shipping. To me, that was a no-brainer. I also knew I was going to be buying other workout programs in the future, so I wanted to get them at the discounted price. Over the past couple of years, I have purchased a number of the Beachbody workout programs as well as tried most of their supplements and there is no telling how much money being a coach has saved me.
In hind sight, just randomly signing up as a “coach” could have been disastrous because I was assigned to a random coach in the network. Fortunately, I got assigned to a group of active leaders in the coaching network and they have all been great helping me build my business without being a pain in the butt. I do my coaching part-time and have grown my business more slowly than a lot of people on my team or in the overall network. The great thing about it is that you can do it at your own pace. There are many who just sign up as a coach just to get the discount like I did and there are others who have signed up as a coach and really worked their business to the point where they have retired from their careers and are doing the coaching business full-time. A number have already grown their businesses to becoming millionaires. Others do it full time and make a good living, and others do it part-time and make a good part-time income.
Every Thursday, I get a check directly from the company deposited into my savings account. Since I don’t rely on that income for my livelihood, it is like a bonus every week. I have used that additional income to pay off a new car and a truck in 8 months and 14 months respectively. My wife and I have also used that money to help fund our vacations every May, which reduced our overall expenses significantly. All for just a few hours a week telling others what I am doing and how they can do the same. I don’t even try to sell anything. I am not a salesman. I am a facility manager by profession. The coaching is a way for me to help other people realize their potential and get themselves healthy and fit just like I have done.
Since becoming a part of the coaching network and Beachbody community, I have been fortunate to meet a lot of great people from all over the country. These people are like me in that they want to help others and love the lifestyle of being a Beachbody coach. Everyone I have met has been very gracious and helped me anyway they can. I am not even in their group, yet they still reach out to help. It is an awesome company with great people, and I am very happy I decided to join. Here are some of the most common questions I have been asked about the business.
What is the Beachbody Business? The company Beachbody was founded by the Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon in Los Angeles and their company was growing and successful. They specialize in in-home workout programs like Power 90, Slim in 6, P90X, TurboFire, Insanity and many other programs to help people improve their health and fitness from the privacy of their homes. Along the way, they noticed people were helping others on the community message boards and recommending the products to others. They realized that this organic network was a great way to share the products and wanted to give back to those who were having success and sharing. Carl and Jon decided to create a unique network marketing system to support the customers and community members. In 2007, they invited a number of customers to become founding coaches in the network. Since these customers were already achieving success with the programs and sharing with others, it was easy to start getting paid to do what they already were doing. Thus, the Team Beachbody Coaching opportunity was created.
What do the coaches do? We do several things. First, we all use the products ourselves to get healthy and stay healthy. We also recommend products we have used and we provide support to others who are doing the programs and also provide an opportunity for those who are interested in changing their lives financially with the business opportunity. We focus on helping others to build their physical and financial future for the better of the community. As a result, the company rewards us with compensation.
How do coaches get paid? There are a number of ways to earn income with the Beachbody coach’s compensation plan. But basically we earn a 25% commission on any Beachbody product we recommend and someone purchases from our coach websites. We also earn bonuses for the effort of our teams as we grow our business. As you move up in rank in the network, there are a number of other ways to make money.
Do I have to be an expert or a certified fitness professional? No, you don’t have to be an expert or certified. You don’t have to be a registered dietitian, fitness expert, personal coach, or anything of the sort. The only requirement is to be willing to reach out and help people live a better lifestyle through Beachbody workout programs, supplements and nutrition. You can also lead them into the business opportunity if they are interested in getting paid to help others.
So, what do I have to do to become a Beachbody Coach? First, you need to find a group of active coaches in the network so you get on a good team. You also want to make sure you join up with a success partner who will be supportive, available, and able to help you get the training necessary to build your business to the level you want to achieve. The team I am fortunate enough to be on is called Team Genesis, a very successful team with several leaders who have already achieved great wealth and who reach out to train everyone in their down line on how to be successful and achieve any level in the business you are willing to work for. Team Genesis is one of the largest and most successful teams in the organization and continues to grow rapidly. Our team provides a balance of corporate training as well as team training from the most successful and experienced coaches in the company. By following the simple steps taught by our leaders, you can achieve any level of success you are willing to work for. Remember, this is a real business where you will only get out of it what you put into it.
