The P90X Workout And Team Beachbody
My name is Brad Gibala. I am a 2 Star Diamond Coach with Team Beachbody.
You might be wondering what a Coach is and I am happy to tell you. First off you need to know that I am a customer of Beachbody and not a employee. This is the company that makes P90X, Insanity, Power 90, and many other home workout programs. You probably ended up here because you were searching for info related to those and you found me. It is because I have used P90X, Insanity, and Power 90 to get in shape and write about using them on my site.
I am not a fitness or nutrition expert and do not claim to be. I am just a normal guy who has struggled staying in shape while going to gyms over the years and have now found a better way. I leave it to the experts at Beachbody to tell me what to do. They come up with the workouts and nutrition plans and I follow them. When I get done with one workout I go and buy a new one. Doing so has helped me get into great shape all from the comfort of my home. I have been able to save about $450 a year on gym memberships as I do not need it anymore.
When you clicked on the Beachbody Coach link you probably saw them talking about a business. Let me explain. When you sign up to be a Coach you have the opportunity to start a business on the side while you are working out to a program of your choice. What Beachbody found out was people who were using their programs were getting great results and friends, family, co-workers, etc. were asking them what they were doing to get into shape. People would tell them and go buy the products from Beachbody directly. Beachbody decided to start rewarding people who tell people what they are doing.
Don't let the title of Coach scare you. You do not need to coach anybody if you don't want to. I look at it as a way to answer questions about the products because I do them already. If anything, Beachbody is coaching you. It is $39.95 to start which can be waived if you buy a workout program at sign up. There is a $14.95 charge every five weeks after that which covers all of the business expenses like customer service, shipping, etc. You do nothing besides tell people what you are doing to get in shape. One of the best benefits of being a coach is you get a 25% discount on all Beachbody products and free shipping on most items. The savings is what made me sign up at first and about 90% of people who sign up do it for that alone. To show why you would want to sign up when you are ready to start a workout I made a video where I show the things you cannot see until you become a coach. I even show my weekly earnings to prove that this is real.
The Beachbody compensation plan video describes every thing from my video more in depth. It shows how you can earn money from making sales and also from sponsoring new people under you. What I have found out is that people are nervous joining this type of program as they do not want to bug friends or family to join and you know what, you don't have to. I'll cover that more below.
Who Should Sign Up To Be A Coach?
- Anybody who is looking for a new way to get into shape.
- Somebody who currently buys health products and wants a discount.
- Somebody looking to build a business while getting in shape.
Who Is The Coach Program Not For?
- Somebody who is not willing to try to get into shape with a Beachbody workout. There is a reason why P90X has over 1 million testimonials. It works.
- Anybody who thinks they are going to make thousands of dollars in their first week. Did you watch my video?
I tell everybody that being a coach is a commitment to yourself to get into shape with Beachbody workouts. To be successful as a coach you need to be a walking billboard. What always happens is around the two month mark of doing a workout people start noticing your results. Now you can send them to the website Beachbody gives you (looks like this) and earn some money. Think about this for a second. Let's say you don't even earn $1 as a coach but you got into great shape. Would it still be worth it? I think so. The reason why people fail when going to the gyms is they don't have the knowledge to make their own programs and continue to change them. Beachbody handles all of that for you now.
So How Can I Help You If You Sign Up To Be A Coach With Me?
Since I have done a lot of the workouts I can help answer questions about them for you. However, I can't make you do the workouts. That's something you need to do for yourself and is probably what you were looking to do in the first place. Best advice I can give you is to show up and push play. I'm sure you're more interested in how I can help you grow a business as a Coach so let's get to it.
If you watched the video I made you might have heard how I would sponsor people who contact me under you. Things have changed since that video. Beachbody changed how they do their contests and it has limited on how often I can sponsor people below people now. I still want to win these contests so I have to do at least the minimum to qualify before I can start doing that for you. Let's just say that there is a 90% chance I won't do it anymore. If I can do it, I now look to see how is closest to making Diamond Coach and skip to them.
I send out a monthly newsletter with things I've tried that do and do not work. I am also apart of a members only forum with other coaches around the country who share their tips with weekly webinars and conference calls. You will be invited into this when you join. I will also give you a e-book I wrote showing how to build a website like mine so you can track your progress on your own site. I also let you put a link on my website to your website site like I have done with these coaches already. They have had people contact, sign up, and buy from them just from doing this.
One of the most important parts of being a Coach is maintaining an active status which can easily be done by selling or buying roughly $50 a month on products. Think about that for a second. You could consume your business expenses on yourself and grow a nice side or full time business from it. Beachbody has many products to choose from and you can go on their home direct plan where they mail you a product of your choice every 5 weeks. I have them send me the P90X Recovery Drink, a tub of Whey Protein (for shakes), glucosimine tablets (for my joints), and their Wildberry Protein Bars for a mid day snack. I recommend every body get on it. If you know its coming in the mail you will use it and do the workouts. Plus, it tastes good.
Since I joined to be a Coach in Jan 09 I have done quite a bit of things with the business part of it. Many of the tips I share with you helped me earn the Top Beachbody Coach for Region 5 Summer 2009. Here is my video and some of the promotion certificates I've earned.
If you are ready to get started then click on the Beachbody Coach link and sign up. During sign up you will be able to buy whatever products you want like P90X or Insanity with your 25% discount. Beachbody will then send you a welcome e-mail. Please take a couple minutes to complete the things they want you to do. After you sign up please send a e-mail to Brad@WorkoutJourney.com letting me know you signed up. I will respond asap. From there we will set up a time where I can answer questions about being a coach and go over in depth how it all works.
If you do not want to be a coach then that's cool too. Go to the Beachbody Store and pick out a workout to do. Just remember what I said about what will happen at day 45 when people start asking you what you're doing to get in shape. Then come back and sign up to be a coach.
