Become a Team Beachbody Coach

The Dream Team is NOT just any team...We're a FAMILY, We work TOGETHER, We train together and we grow from each others strengths! I’m not a fitness expert or professional trainer but these program and products have helped me CHANGE MY LIFE!! And I am PASSIONATE about sharing them with others! HOW COULD I NOT?!?! I help people…I CHANGE LIVES…like mine…like YOURS…We are THE DREAM TEAM...TOGETHER we are BETTER! Together we are UNSTOPPABLE!! Join our team…Join our FAMILY! 

Why Become A Beachbody Coach with The Dream TEAM?
I hate to boast but I think we are the BEST..LOL. All kidding aside, I truly think of our team as FAMILY! We are among the fastest growing teams in Beachbody. Our team is CONSTANTLY in the Top 10 of every TEAM contest Beachbody does. The best part about this is we have developed an easily duplicateable system that can get you similar results. Coaches who have followed our system went from making nothing from being a Beachbody Coach to replacing their full-time income in a little less then a year. 

The Dream TEAM is a group of motivated individuals who provide support, motivation and encouragement to people on a daily basis to help them achieve the health and fitness goals.  I  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.  I never focus on the big picture, instead we break it down into manageable smaller chunks.  We work to overcome things like emotional connections to food, traveling, meal planning, healthy snacks, and just plain motivation.  Everything that we need to be successful is right here. I really love running challenge groups.  They are truly my passion.  Challenge groups have been the best way for me to get to know my customers and to help them on a daily basis.  A challenge group is all done through facebook.  Each participant purchases a Beachbody fitness program and commits to drinking Shakeology for at least one meal a day.  In return I will help you with meal planning, grocery shopping, planning and staying on track. The small group environment really works!     

WHY IS BEACHBODY COACHING DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER JOB

Since I started working with Beachbody, I have learned that this company truly stands by you and is completely supportive of who you are and what you do as a coach. The products are all AMAZING, many of them I have used even before I decided to become a coach. The workouts and SHAKEOLOGY are by far the best products for me, they were what finally made the change, I would not be where I am today with my health if it was not for Beachbody. 

WHAT A BEACHBODY COACH ISN'T

Being a Beachbody Coach ISN’T a Get Rich Quick Scheme. It is hard work and you get out the effort you put in. So if you aren’t willing to put in the time and effort you aren’t going to succeed. All my coaches can tell you I live by the MOTTO “Be Here in A YEAR”, that means give this business 100% for a year and you will be AMAZED! Are you ready to change your life and the lives of countless others? What are you waiting for?

BENEFITS OF BEING A COACH:

1. Opportunity to help people - I am in IT and I work as a Test Manager. This can be an extremely unrewarding job. As a coach I get to personally work with people long term to help them in so many ways: nutrition, exercise, self esteem, & confidence. In a short period of time they are making changes and commitments to transform their lifestyles into ones that they may have never thought possible. My guidance and support has helped them reach their goals. This is truly a rewarding experience and I am so glad that I have found this opportunity to share my experiences to help others. 

2. Be Your own Boss & make your own hours -- you do not have to answer to anyone but yourself !! How awesome is that !! You get to choose the hours that you want to work. You can create your schedule around that of your family so that you don't have to miss out on anything.. You want a day off - go ahead and take it. The hours and time that you put into this business are a reflection of how fast you will grow. How cool is that !! 

3. Work from home -- NO MORE LONG Commutes ! I currently drive approx 1 hour each way to work. This is so draining, let alone the money that I spend in gas !! To be able to get up and start work in my PJ's if I choose would be great!! Being able to get the kids on the bus out the door in the morning would be great !! I could save money on the before school daycare that is necessary some days!!  

4. Financial Freedom -- Are you looking to pay off some of your debt, your cars, student loans, your home? What about having extra money at Christmas or even just in your savings. Do you dread the day that an appliance breaks because you are unsure of how you are going to pay for it.. What if I told you that you could make $200/week, $500/week , $2000/week-- that is up to you- what do you want? Currently this opportunity has provided me with an extra $500 a month. 

5. Do you like to Travel -- There are so many opportunities to earn free trips -- there are Cruises, you can earn your trip and spending money. I have earned a FREE ticket already to attend SUMMIT in Nashville in 2015. There are opportunities to meet and workout with Celebrity Trainers like Shaun T, Tony Horton, Chalene Johnson !  

I AM A PRODUCT OF THE PRODUCT!

I have done INSANITY, P90X, Brazil Butt Lift, Chalean Extreme, Les Mills Pump, T25, 21 day Fix and now PiYo and I 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 whole natural foods and regular exercise!  Being a coach has made me accountable to myself, i know that I have to walk the walk and talk the talk in order to help others along on their journey. How awesome is it that I am doing what I love each day, I am making a difference in peoples lives and I am making some extra income while doing it. I didn't start this at my goal weight, I am still a work in progress. I am consistent and and of course I do promote Beachbody Fitness programs and supplements because they work!  I have tried them and if you follow X,Y,Z then you will get the results that you are looking for!  I not only have transformed my own life physically but I now have a more positive outlook on life and I LOVE being surrounding by people who want more out of life! 

WHAT DOES IT COST TO BEGIN?

It only costs $39.99 to start a Beachbody business. That includes your first month’s Business Services Fees and your Coach Business Kit, which comes with everything you need to begin earning income.  Or you can choose to purchase a challenge pack in which you get a fitness program of your choice, 30 day supply of Shakeology, free shipping and  a 30 day trial of the club membership and the coach fee is waived!  Now this is a great deal!!

DO I NEED TO BE A FITNESS EXPERT?

No, you don’t need to be a fitness or weight-loss expert to become a Beachbody Coach. You just need to be ready to commit to changing your life and inspiring others to do the same.  It is important to be a product of the product!

WHAT KINDS OF HELP AND SUPPORT WILL I RECEIVE?

 Once you become a coach on the Dream Team you will be added to our closed facebook team page.  There you will receive updates, information, tips and tools to help you grow your business.  This is your place to check in each day and get answers to your questions. You also will be given the option to be a part of my coach apprenticeship program.  This is a 60 day group that teaches you everything you need to know about running a challenge group, how to find people to invite, how to get them started, what program to choose for them, and how to run a successful challenge group.  You will be given all the tools that helped me to be successful so that you do not have to re-invent the wheel.  You will be given my 90 day challenge group structure, 30 day Shakeology and Clean Eating Group information, along with other valuable business building tools.  You will not have to figure it out on your own.  You do not run your first challenge group by yourself.  Instead you are an apprentice coach in your first group.  I run the challenge but you get to invite 3-5 customers into the group!

WILL I HAVE TO PURCHASE PRODUCTS FOR RESALE?

Unlike marketing programs that require you to buy a lot of products in order to participate, the Coach Opportunity has no inventory requirements. If you do want to purchase products for your own use or resale, you’ll get them at a significant discount. I encourage everyone to be a product of the product.  I truly believe that the best coaches are the one's that are actively working out and are drinking Shakeology.  It's very hard to speak from experience and guide other people if you yourself have never tried it.

HOW DOES BEACHBODY PROMOTE ITS PRODUCTS?

We spend millions of dollars every week advertising our home fitness programs on the major TV stations and cable networks. (You’ve probably seen our famous infomercials for programs such as P90X, Turbo Jam, and Hip Hop Abs, as well as our magazine and Internet ads.) Millions of people already know about Beachbody, and every time we run an infomercial, we get thousands of new customers. We want those customers to shop through your store, so you get the commission on those sales!

HOW MUCH OF A DISCOUNT WILL I GET ON MY OWN BEACHBODY PRODUCTS?

All of the products that you are using to get Healthy and you can get them at a discounted price !! As a Beachbody Coach, you receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products available in the Team Beachbody store. (SHAKEOLOGY, PiYo, T25, P90X3 - just to name a few)

 

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME? - So many people are waiting for the "right" time to get started, there is NO SUCH THING,  -- you just have to bite the bullet and DO IT !! You have to do it for yourself, it will not happen by thinking about it, dreaming about. Take the bull by the horns and go out there and get it. Make today the first step in your journey of thousand miles ! Get Healthy !! 

Are you ready to LIVE YOUR DREAM? Join the next Coach Apprentice Group - learn how to get started as a coach and grow to be the best YOU , you can be ! 

Message me for information on getting started on an amazing journey. I am so excited to have you join my team.

Watermelon Jello Shots

Watermelon Jell-O Shots

Recipe by Christine Byrne

Makes about 30 wedge shots

Ingredients

1 12–16 pound watermelon
4 cups vodka

4 3-ounce boxes red Jell-O mix
2 1-ounce boxes unflavored gelatin

Preparation
1. Using a large chef’s knife, cut the watermelon into two equal halves, lengthwise.

2. Use your knife to slice all the way around the perimeter of the watermelon flesh, about an inch from the rind. Be careful not to pierce through the skin, as this will lead to your Jell-O leaking out. Then use a kitchen spoon to scrape out the rest and create a smooth bowl with roughly 1/2-inch red watermelon flesh left on the rind.

3. Line two small, rimmed baking sheets with paper towels in a way that creates a bed for your watermelon bowls. The idea is to create enough support to keep the watermelon bowls from rolling at all while they’re in the fridge. Put one bowl in the center of each tray and set aside.

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jell-O mix and the unflavored gelatin. Add 4 cups of boiling water and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the vodka all at once and whisk just to combine.

5. Pour the Jell-O mixture into the watermelon bowls, dividing evenly. Carefully place the Jell-O filled watermelon bowls in the fridge, and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.

6. When Jell-O is set, cut each half into 1-inch slices, crosswise, then cut each slice into 2–3 wedges, and serve.

Quick and Simple Way to Shuck Corn !

Quick and Simple Way to Shuck Corn

Corn on the Cob is one of the best things about summer -- eating perfectly sweet ears right off the cob is a summer rite. But who likes to clean the corn. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get all the stringy silks off etc. Try out this method using the microwave that is so simple and effective, the ears basically slide out, husk- and silk-free!

What You Need

Ingredients
Sweet corn in it’s husk

Equipment
Oven Mitts

Cutting Board

Serrated Knife

Microwave

Instructions:

1.       DO NOT Peel off the outer leaves: Leave the ears of corn in their husks.
2.      Place in Microwave: Arrange 1 to 5 ears of corn, un-shucked, in the microwave. If you prefer, you can set them on a microwaveable plate or tray. If you need to cook more than 5 ears of corn, cook them in batches.

3.      Microwave each ear for 4 minutes: I had 5 ears of corn so I set the microwave for 20 minutes.

4.      Remove Corn : Remove the Corn with some oven mitts and place on a cooling rack

5.      Cut the Cork from the Husk: Cut the bottom of the corn with a serrated knife. Make the cut approx. 1 inch from the stem 

6.      Remove from the Husk: Hold the corn from the top of the Husk and squeeze and push down. Shake a little bit and the corn will slide out from the Husk silk free.

Pina Colada Cooler

Registered dietitian Carolyn O'Neil can't understand why a pina colada was ever paired with a bathing suit. "It is one of the most caloric drinks you can imagine consuming," she tells us. An 8-ounce pina colada can pack in 640 calories -- over 100 calories more than a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. O'Neill slimmed down this dangerously delicious drink for us -- phew! -- and the results are just as refreshing as the original.
