Why Bother with a Beachbody Coach?

I've been asked many times, "What is a Beachbody Coach?" and "Why bother having one?"

Before I answer these, I will begin with a short recap of my initial experiences with Beachbody.

Quite a few years ago, I purchased Insanity and I kept seeing the little ad on the videos to "sign in to the WOWY supergym at beachbody.com."  I finally decided to check it out.  I created my free account and this little pop-up appeared with someone saying hello and asking me if I needed any assistance.  I freaked out and closed it.  HELLO!  I was there to quietly check things out...anonymously.  I didn't need anyone else knowing my fitness goals or how much I weigh.

Later, I also received a couple of emails from this person, introducing herself as my coach and offering assistance.  I ignored these emails.

I started the program...going strong for a few days....then, my kids' activities were getting in the way.  I couldn't work out right after dinner.  Right before bed didn't work, either.  Before I knew it, the dvds were sitting on a shelf and I hadn't even come close to making it half way through them.

Fast forward to February 2014.  This is when I decided that I needed a shorter workout in order to stick with it.  I decided I'd give Focus T25 a shot.  I started actually using the Beachbody site and began interacting with someone who was a coach.  Not only did she help me out, but other people she was coaching helped to push me through getting up each morning to work out and actually get through the program.  This is when I realized that Beachbody Coaches do not have to be these creepy people that pop out at you when you are looking to get back into a fitness routine.

So.....back to the questions....

What is a Beachbody Coach?

Easy.  He or she is a customer, just like everyone else.  We use the Beachbody programs and we like them so much that we want to see other people be successful with them.  We are not here to sell products.  We are here to provide a service.  If you are not sure which program is right for you, we can help.  If you have questions about a program that you are using, we can help.  If you need motivation....you get the picture.....

Why bother having a Beachbody Coach?

This is an easy one.  Unless you are SUPER self motivated, having someone else to support you through a program and hold you accountable for getting your workouts in is the only way to succeed.  It is also nice to be able to ask the little questions that come up, like "I haven't lost any weight in three weeks, what can I do?" or "I can't do ONE pull-up and this workout is full of them, how do I get a workout in when I can't do them?"

What you get from ME as YOUR Beachbody Coach:

Well, as you've already read, I don't like the creepy coach technique.  If you'd like for me to be your coach, I would love to help you in any way that I possibly can.  I will not harass you to buy programs, but I will inform you when new programs come out or when one is on sale.  I will not bug you each day to see if you've completed your workout....unless that is what you WANT me to do.  Everybody is different.  

Some people just want to get their program and be on their way and only have their coach there to answer questions when needed.  I can do that if that is what you are looking for.

Some people want someone to occasionally check in on them.  Maybe they want to check in with a group every once in a while to feel as though they have company through their fitness journey.  This is absolutely doable.

Some people want to be in an accountability group where they have to check in daily throughout their entire program.  This is also an option that we can do.

I am here for what YOU need.
