To Challenge Pack or not to Challenge Pack?

When purchasing a Beachbody fitness program, people always ask me why they should get the Challenge Pack instead of just the DVD program.  Well let me ask you a few questions…do you like a good bargain?  Do you like getting a product for a fraction of its regular price?  Do you want to get the best results possible with your new fitness program?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then a Challenge Pack is for you.

Let me break it down a little further here:
When buying a Beachbody Challenge Pack you are combining the DVDs and Shakeology into one discounted package.  Let’s take the new P90X3 Challenge Pack as an example (*note the P90X3 Challenge Pack is currently on sale for $180, normal price is $205):

The P90X3 DVD set is $119.95.  Add in $13.78 for shipping and $10.79 for tax and you will pay $144.52
Shakeology is $129.95.  Add in $14.94 for shipping and $11.70 for tax and you will pay $156.59

Now if you bought those two things together (not in a Challenge Pack) in will cost you $301.02

So let’s say you decided you do like a good bargain and you decide you want to order the Challenge Pack, you will get both the P90X3 DVD AND the Shakeology for $198.20 ($180 plus $2 shipping and $16.20 tax).  That’s right, just by choosing the Challenge Pack you qualify for $2 Super Discount Shipping and you get the entire package for $102 LESS than buying them separate!!!

Ok so we’ve established that you like a good bargain, well what about getting a product for practically half off?

Well you are paying $198.20 for the Challenge Pack. The DVDs alone would cost $144.52 if you bought them separately, that means that you are getting Shakeology for a whopping $53.68!!  That is a fraction of the cost it would be to buy just the Shakeology (if I may remind you that was $156.59)

Wait, Shakeology for $53.68??? Now that is a smoking hot deal!!!!! 


But wait, remember you said you wanted to get the best results possible with your new fitness program?  Well drinking Shakeology daily will give your more energy, reduce cravings and guess what…..help you lose weight! 

So the questions isn't really why a Challenge Pack, the question is WHY NOT?  Email me at thegoars@gmail.com if you want to talk to me about setting you up with the right program and Challenge Pack to help you reach your goals!

So you want to be a Beachbody coach?

  

Looking for info on what it means to be a Beachbody coach?  Below I am going to outline what exactly a Beachbody coach is and why I love being one!

First off let me tell you Beachbody is not a “pyramid scheme” like you may have heard.  Beachbody products have been around for a little under 15 years.  They started marketing on infomercials which you most likely have seen a time or two.  Then they noticed that customers were discussing the products, recommending them to each other and providing support to each other on the Beachbody discussion boards.  So they thought if people are so passionate about these products and are doing this for free, what would happen if we paid them?  
And so the coaching network was born.  And no, it is not just the people at the top or those that got in in the beginning that can only make the big bucks.  There are coaches who have only been a coach for 2 to 3 years and are literally making high six figure incomes!  I have seen it over and over. 


So let me tell you a little bit about me and my coaching experience.  My team, Team Phoenix, is a group of motivated individuals who provide support, motivation and encouragement to people on a daily basis to help them achieve their health and fitness goals. We have a closed Facebook support group where we answer questions, provide help and basically act as mentors to each other to help ALL of us reach our goals.  I myself provide free coaching advice and support to people who are enrolled as my customer or coach with a free Team Beachbody account.  As a coach my job is to help you set realistic health and fitness goals.  Then, together we create an action plan.  We work together to help you set your goals and reach them!


Now that my business is growing I also help my coaches that have joined my team to duplicate my success.  I do this by providing one on one training and support and (and support through our coach closed Facebook support group). There is no greater feeling in the world than seeing your coaches and teammates succeed!!!


Important things to consider before you decide to become a coach:

Being a Beachbody Coach is NOT a “get rich quick scheme”. It is hard work and you get out what you put in. If you treat it like a hobby it will pay you like a hobby.  For some people they are just looking for a part time thing and some “fun money”.  For me, I am looking to make enough money to replace my “real job” income so I can stay home with my kids. So if you aren’t willing to put in the time and effort you aren’t going to succeed. In addition to putting in the effort, you also need to put in the time.  There is a very true saying in Beachbody: “Be Here in A YEAR”, that means give this business 100% for a year and you will be AMAZED!

You need to be a product of the product:

In order to believe in what you put out towards people, you need to actually experience the products. I believe in Team Beachbody's philosophy that you need to use their products in order to be able to explain the benefits of the research they've done. I have done Focus T25 and now P90X3 and currently drink Shakeology every day and follow the clean eating lifestyle. I do not SELL anything except for a healthy lifestyle that is based upon the principles of eating healthy and regular exercise!  Of course I do promote Beachbody fitness programs and supplements because they work!  I can honestly say that Beachbody programs have transformed my life and that of my family’s.  We are all healthier and happier than we have ever been.


So, what does it take to become a coach?:

                  -  A one-time fee of $39.99 to become a Beachbody coach.  This is not a yearly or reoccurring fee. You pay it one time and that is it.  You can also get that $40 fee waived if you sign up with a challenge pack or you or your spouse is active military then that fee is waived! (let me know if you want more information on these options).  Where else can you basically open a franchise of a super successful company for a $40 investment???
                  -  A monthly website fee of $15. Beachbody gives you three canned websites where you can do some minor personalization. I don’t know of anywhere else where you can pay $15 and get three fully functioning well-designed websites for your business.

To remain an active coach you need to have a Personal Volume (PV) of 50 points per month. Purchasing a month's supply of Shakeology (at a 25% discount) is 90PV for example and you're done!

Benefits: 

   You receive a 25% commission on anything you sell through your Beachbody website. One order of Shakeology is a commission of $32!

   You can, if you choose to, create a team of coaches as well.  You can create a business based off of a team of people who are passionate about helping people.  Your success will be a direct result of how many lives you have changed!


   You receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products including merchandise. The savings on Shakeology alone covers the $15 monthly website fee.

          You get paid on a weekly basis, every Thursday morning! Direct deposit right into your account!

          NO inventory to carry, Beachbody takes care of everything, the orders, the shipping, all of it!

                 Access to an entire team of experts on health and fitness.

·      Access to marketing materials and guidance on how to build your business.  They literally provide you with everything you need to successfully market your business (on every product they sell)!

·      Exciting trips, rewards etc.  All expense paid trips to exotic locations!  All you have to do is help people lose weight and get healthy.  I am taking my husband on the Beachbody trip to Cancun, and plan to have it paid for by Beachbody!!

Let me help YOU get in the best physical and financial shape of your life!
