My personal reasons for coaching...
- To stay accountable to my own health/fitness goals.
- To be able to work from home, in my jammies, and choose my hours.
- To be able to work with some of my best friends.
- To be able to work retire my husband from corporate management at age 31.
- So my husband and I can be present in our children's lives, volunteer at school functions, and not miss a moment -- no BOSS telling us when we can live our lives.
- I have a "job" that doesn't feel like "work". To feel like I have a purpose. Giving and doing for others builds confidence. Helping people makes my heart happy. <3
- I am surrounded with positive people daily which has molded me into a happier, more positive person.
- My success is determined by how many people I help--how many other jobs provide unlimited success and income based on the amount of lives you change?
- I LOVE social media!
- FREEDOM!
Coaching FAQ's -- What's the Scoop on Coaching?
1. I don’t have a transformation yet/I don’t look like a Beachbody coach.
When I signed up to be a coach, I had 25lbs of baby weight to lose...I was not at my GOAL body, but I joined a Challenge Group and decided to share exactly what I was doing with the world! I was so excited. And, what I realized was...no one relates to PERFECT. People relate to someone just like themselves who is working towards a goal. They are inspired by seeing someone just like themselves push through and reach a goal. So, I shared what I was doing...and, people starting watching me. When they saw my consistency and hard work starting to pay off, they asked me what I was doing--they actually were inspired...by ME!! Crazy. ;) So, it's that simple. Commit to YOURSELF and your transformation, show people this really WORKS, and you will inspire...then, you're in business! :)
2. I’m not a salesperson…
Welp...neither am I. :) This was pretty much my biggest fear. I have no background in sales, and I have too much pride to be one of those icky, sticky sale people. I just won't do it. lol The cool thing about coaching...like I said above...I SHARE what I do. I don't SELL. When people see me sharing my journey, they ask me what I've been doing, and I talk to them about their goals and how I could help them reach them, and I share my story. When you start thinking about this as SELLING...people feel like you're trying to SELL them something. Then, they want NO part in it. But, if you focus on sharing and helping...you will succeed!
3. What if I don’t have time? I work a full time job!
We all have the same 24 hours in each of our days...it's all about how we use them! When I signed up to be a coach I owned a permanent makeup business...I was working FULL time, I had a 2 1/2yr old, a 9 month old, and I had a husband who worked 24/7. I was the epitome of BUSY. I had thought about coaching for 2 years and always held back because I "didn't have time", but the night my husband came home in tears because he never saw our kids...I knew something had to change. I signed up that night. I quickly learned to manage my time. I created a "Power Hour" for my business each day and focused on building my business. I squeezed some extra work time in during my lunch break and sacrificed watching TV at night in order to squeeze in a little extra work time. In just 2 1/2yrs we have a full time 6-figure income earning business. It CAN be done.
4. Who will ever be part of my team...or buy anything from me?
We focus a lot on personal development, and becoming the best person you can be...for yourself first and foremost, but also so you have the positive mindset to inspire other people. When you share your journey along with your hobbies/interests and lifestyle on social media, you will attract people just like yourself. Being YOU is what sets you apart from every other coach. People don't buy from you because of the products you're selling...they buy from you because they are inspired by watching your journey, they relate to you as a person through your posts, and they feel that you genuinely want to help them. If you focus on sharing and HELPING...you will succeed. Do you see a pattern here? ;)
5. Is this a pyramid scheme?
PYRAMID SCHEMES / vs. / BEACHBODY
Sooooo...within my THREE years as a Beachbody coach, I've had several people ask me, "Is this one of those PYRAMID things?". Half of the time they are not even SURE what that even MEANS! haha But, I'll be straight up with you. I was one of those skeptical people who thought the same exact thing. I researched extensively to find the real facts before I jumped 2 feet into coaching. There IS a difference between a "Pyramid Scheme or Scam" and a "Legitimate MLM company". Here's the scoop!
6. I’m an introvert and shy….I don’t know if I can do it.
You guys!!! I am a TOTAL introvert. If it weren't for my crazy husband, I may be a hermit--haha...sad, but true :) What I've found is that introverts are quiet, but we are also creative, compassionate, and have great listening skills. We thrive when communicating via social media--OH...and we love being home...so, we do awesome in this business. My business is 95% social media. I love that I'm able to open the lines of communication when I want to...but, then shut it off when I'm finished and want to be in my own bubble--fellow introverts...you know what I'm talking about. ;)
7. How much does it cost to sign up?
Coming from a past business owner who used to have to pay $600 in rent each month, $100 in utilities, and between $500-$800 monthly in supplies...the overhead to own a Beachbody business is CRAZY low. The sign up fee is $39.95, and sometimes this fee can even be waived...(ask me how). There is a monthly fee of $15.95. These fees cover your personalized websites and maintenance, a customer service center, a shipping department so you do NOT have to buy/carry inventory...and, you don't have to ship the products. Beachbody does all of this for you. Your only other inventory is the products you use to get improve your health and get in shape so you're able to share your journey. Can I just TELL you how awesome it is to own a 6-figure earning business without the crazy overhead I used to have being a small business owner?
8. What if I FAIL?!?!
You will not fail. If you tell yourself I WILL DO THIS and you commit to being coachable, I will teach you everything I've done to become a 6-figure earner within 2 years, and you will succeed. It's all very simple to do, but it's also simple NOT to do. If you commit to me and our team FITS Dynasty, we will lock arms with you and show you the way. This is not a SCARY thing...it's a new, exciting life venture! The only way to fail is if you downright quit. But, think of all the ways this business could improve your life? It's worth trusting me and trusting the process to be able to live the way you want to live...trust me...I'm living it now. FREEDOM is worth the work. <3

5. Is this a pyramid scheme?
PYRAMID SCHEMES / vs. / BEACHBODY
Sooooo...within my THREE years as a Beachbody coach, I've had several people ask me, "Is this one of those PYRAMID things?". Half of the time they are not even SURE what that even MEANS! haha But, I'll be straight up with you. I was one of those skeptical people who thought the same exact thing. I researched extensively to find the real facts before I jumped 2 feet into coaching. There IS a difference between a "Pyramid Scheme or Scam" and a "Legitimate MLM company". Here's the scoop!
But, first...FUN FACT: Did you know that 83% of women who make
OVER $100,000 per year work for an MLM? Yep. That's right. Ok...read on :)
FACTS from the FTC Guidelines
FTC: "Pyramid Schemes promise consumers or investors large profits based primarily on recruiting others to join their program, not based on profits from any real investment or real sale of goods to the public."
Beachbody spends millions of dollars every single year on informercials promoting REAL products that help the public achieve REAL results.
FTC: "Some schemes may purport to sell a product, but they often simply use the product to hide their pyramid structure. There are two tell-tale signs that a product is simply being used to disguise a pyramid scheme: inventory loading and a lack of retail sales."
Majority of Beachbody’s profits come from retail sales from workout programs, Shakeology, and many other supplements. (Retail sales numbers comply with the DSA--more info on DSA requirements listed below).
FTC: "Inventory loading occurs when a company's incentive program forces recruits to buy more products than they could ever sell, often at inflated prices. If this occurs throughout the company's distribution system, the people at the top of the pyramid reap substantial profits, even though little or no product moves to market. The people at the bottom make excessive payments for inventory that simply accumulates in their basements."
Some people have made the argument that Shakeology is our product that we coaches are “forced” to purchase. This isn’t the case. Coaches are NOT required to purchase Shakeology. Coaches may remain “active” coaches simply by selling retail products. If a coach sells 1-2 products every 35 days, they are considered an “active” coach. Whether a coach is “active” OR “inactive”, they are still eligible to receive retail commissions regardless. Any products coaches purchase can be returned for a full refund if not used.
We have optional lead programs for qualifying coaches who use the products. Leads are given to coaches who use and love the products. For example, Shakeology commission based leads are given to coaches who use and love Shakeology so they are able to help the customers who order Shakeology by giving them recipes, tips on how to make it, and opinions on which flavors are best. As coaches we share our experience with our customers about Shakeology. Beachbody does not give commission based leads (freebies) to coaches who are not using the products, because without knowledge of the products, it would be difficult to share experience and help the customer. Same goes for Beachbody on Demand (Live Streaming) and the Meal Planner (within our Club Membership). Would you rather be assigned a coach who is familiar with how to work the live streaming and meal planner OR a coach who has never used either and is not familiar with them? If a coach decides not to participate in this optional lead program, they are still just as capable of building a successful business as a coach who does participate in this optional lead program.
FTC: "A lack of retail sales is also a red flag that a pyramid exists. Many pyramid schemes will claim that their product is selling like hot cakes. However, on closer examination, the sales occur only between people inside the pyramid structure or to new recruits joining the structure, not to consumers out in the general public."
Aside from from the retail sales sold through infomercials, Beachbody encourages coaches to achieve “Success Club” monthly. In order to reach Success Club, coaches must help 3-5 new people with their health and fitness who are OUTSIDE of our network. This means, our income does not come solely from our coaches. It also comes from new customers monthly who are using our retail products—these customers are NOT within “our structure”.
FTC: "Ponzi scheme is closely related to a pyramid because it revolves around continuous recruiting, but in a Ponzi scheme the promoter generally has no product to sell and pays no commission to investors who recruit new "members." Instead, the promoter collects payments from a stream of people, promising them all the same high rate of return on a short-term investment. In the typical Ponzi scheme, there is no real investment opportunity, and the promoter just uses the money from new recruits to pay obligations owed to longer-standing members of the program. In English, there is an expression that nicely summarizes this scheme: It's called "stealing from Peter to pay Paul.""
This is basically saying that in a Ponzi Scheme, recruiters make commission off of sign ups with no products being exchanged. Simply profiting off of people who "buy in". Beachbody charges a $39.95 coach sign up fee, and coaches do not profit off of this sign up fee. This $39.95 sign up fee goes directly to Beachbody to start a legitimate business. Coaches do make commission off of those who sign up to be a coach IF they desire to purchase products during sign up. Purchasing products during sign up is optional. However, the (recruiting) coaches forfeit any further retail commission from these new coach sign ups because these (new) coaches receive a discount on all future products ordered (which would have been the recruiting coach's retail commission).
FTC: "Some people confuse pyramid and Ponzi schemes with legitimate multilevel marketing. Multilevel marketing programs are known as MLM's, and unlike pyramid or Ponzi schemes, MLM's have a real product to sell. More importantly, MLM's actually sell their product to members of the general public, without requiring these consumers to pay anything extra or to join the MLM system. MLM's may pay commissions to a long string of distributors, but these commission are paid for real retail sales, not for new recruits. Unfortunately, the rise in legitimate multilevel marketing was accompanied by a surge in pyramid schemes. Those schemes played off the popularity of MLM or network sales but paid more attention to networking than to selling actual goods."
Beachbody's mission is to "Help End the Trend of Obesity and Help People Live Healthier, more Fulling Lives". We thrive because of our brand name, well known products that change lives every day. The general public who purchases our products are not expected or required to join our network (or "MLM system").
"Those who are not aware of the numerous stringent requirements to become a legally compliant Direct Sales Company, should avail themselves to reading and studying the requirements necessary to become an accepted member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA). Beachbody, as a member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA) (http://www.dsa.org/), has recently become the recipient of the DSA's " Rising Star Award" (http://pledgetostayfit.com/team-beachbody-receives-the-rising-star-award-from-dsa). Companies in the DSA strive to operate the by the DSA code of ethics and spirit of excellence (http://www.dsa.org/code-of-ethics/code-of-ethics-(full-text.)”
