What Is A Coach?

Me? A Beachbody Coach??

I can hardly believe it myself. When I first started my first Beachbody program, Insanity, it was for me and my husband. We wanted to work out together and not have to go to the gym during the worst winter every (2010). We gave up our gym membership essentially to be together more often, rather than apart, which our gym workouts were leading us to do. I had put on weight due to a short lived corporate job and my clothes were WAY too tight. My stomach bulged over the top of my once loose fitting pants and I was disgusted with myself for letting myself get there. I DECIDED to purchase the program based on the before and after photos that were clearly un-retouched.

I COMMITTED to do the workouts and food plan to the letter because this company had a money back guarantee if it didn’t work, and also because I really wanted to see what my body could do/look like. My first “recruit” was my husband. He’d put on weight with me in my pregnancy (what a team player!) and from traveling for his work – and I knew instinctively that I needed accountability if I was going to be successful. My husband also wanted improve his blood pressure and not have the stress of going to the gym after work or on the weekends. We also told our good friends who had tried all sorts of weight loss programs with us before, what we were doing and if it worked, encouraged them to do this with us. We’d be the guinea pigs. ☺

Needless to say, we stuck to the full 60 days and not only saw our bodies transform, but both friends and strangers alike were asking us what we did to look so good. Everyone we knew believed in the program because they watched us transform before their very eyes! I wasn’t selling anything, but my/our transformations and new, fit bodies were a walking billboard for the programs we’d completed. You can’t argue with visible results and a life transformed.

I have also seen running race times that I haven’t seen in YEARS – with LESS RUNNING MILEAGE than ever on a weekly basis. The Beachbody workouts have been HUGE cross training/secret weapon tools for me. My runners have also improved their times and set PRs on countless occasions that to Beachbody programs and Shakeology.

Since then, we have gone on to do several programs – Power 90, Brazil Butt Lift, Hip Hop Abs, P90X – just to name a few.
