What is Beachbody Coaching?

OK...so is this Beachbody Coaching thing legit?? Is it worth my time? Can I make any money doing this? Is this a scam?

So many questions filled my mind when I reached out to my friend about what shakeology was and the difference between p90x and insanity. After she heard my story, she asked me if I would want to coach. The business aspect scared me a bit. I am not in "sales", I am a nurse....we don't do sales, WE SAVE LIVES! I never owned my own business. Could I own my own business? Was this for me? Could I do it??

If you have even wondered about coaching well here it is...I am here to answer your questions and to show you that YES you can make good/great money with Beachbody. It is not a scam and you do not have to be a sales man, nutritionist or fitness expert.

But you can decide this for yourself....

~Beachbody Coach, A Little Background~

Beachbody was founded in 1998, where they sold fitness DVD's on infomercials. Then in 2004 "coaching" was introduced into the mix. Beachbody realized that they needed to bridge the gap between customers buying the DVD's and then actually completing them. This is what a coach is for.

A coach runs a homebased business helping others obtain their health and fitness goals. They do this by various in-home workouts and nutritonal products that Beachbody has created. (insanity. P90X, P90X2, Body Beast, Turbo Fire, Shakeology, P90X Results and Recovery Formula, E&E, etc.). Listen to what the Chairman and CEO of beachbody, Carl Daikeler, has to say about coaching:

As a coach, you receive a 25% discount on all products, and you make 25% commission on all products sold. Along with this commission you also earn bonuses for growing your coach team, just like a personal trainer in the gym. You earn other bonuses and prizes, such as free trips and awards for helping your team be successful. 

~The Way It Works~

YES, this is Multi-Level-Marketing. YES, it is set up like a pyramid. But what most people don't know, is that a true pyramid scheme is illegal. A pyramid is illegal if their is no exchange of goods for money. As a coach, one does not make any money if their coaches don't buy or sell anything.

Moreover, with a pyramid scheme, you can not get ahead of the person who signed you. But as a coach, you have the opportunity to make more money and be more sufessful than the person who signed you! Your success is controlled only by yourself and your efforts. As a coach, you are working for yourself, you are not building anyone's dreams but your own!

~Can One Make Money With Beachbody?~

YES! But just like any job or business, it takes time and effort. There is no money tree and there is no quick fix to earning tons of money overnight. You may not make a ton of money when you first start especially for the amount of work you will be doing, but if you continue to work hard and grow your business, you will start to see your income rise and a snowball effect will take place!

~Pros & Cons~

  

~Cost Breakdown (Like I said, NOTHING IS HIDDEN)~

When you sign up as a coach you will have 2 costs.

1.) $39.95- sign up fee. this pays for your starter kit, access to your online office and 3 websites 

NOTE: this fee is waived if you purchase a challenge pack

2.) $97.46- Cost of your first bag of Shakeology. I always tell my new coaches to, at least, start out on shakeology when they start because it is hard to sell a product they are not on!! 

Now, for the Challenge Pack option I mentioned in "cost 1". The Challenge Packs range from $140-$245, depending on what fitness program that you select. With a Challenge Pack, you get your choice of fitness program (T25, Insanity, P90X, Body Beast, Turbo Fire, etc) and a months supply of Shakeology, a 30 Day free trial of the Club Membership, your sign up fee is WAIVED, and FREE SHIPPING! WOW!

Let me break it down a little more....If you choose to only start on shakeology you are looking at $39.95 (sign up fee) plus $97.46 (shakeology) which equals $137.41. For $3.00 more you could have a Fitness Program. You tell me which sounds like a better deal!

~Monthly Costs~

Now as a coach we have 2 ongoing expenses. They are as follows

1. $15.95/ month starting in the second month of your business. This fee is for your websites you get when you sign up. Beachbody will maintain, fix, and update your websites on a daily basis, this fee covers that.

2. $97.46 for your monthly order of Shakeology and to maintain an "ACTIVE" status. I am looking for active coaches, coaches who love the products and/or want to build a business. In order to remain an "ACTIVE" coach one must purchase or sell 50 PV (personal volume) worth of produces each month. Shakeology alone each month covers this. You can learn more about Shakeology HERE
