After getting T25, I found it harder and harder as time went on to actually stick with it. I found myself repeating weeks because of skipped workouts or simply skipping weeks altogether and needing to do more repeats. It was a horrible cycle. So I joined a challenge group here and there for different things (but not a workout yet) such as a 5 day clean eating group, a 3 day Shakeology cleanse group, and a 30 day clean eating group (to make it more of a lifestyle change).
I changed coaches to do the latter of the groups, because the crash diets and quick fixes were nice when it came to the scale, but I would binge soon after and the weight would come right back. I needed a way to change my lifestyle so that I could get the results I wanted. So I found the 30 day clean eating group and switched coaches to join it. This is where I found my place that I fit in, I just seemed to mesh with her and her team well. I read her blog to get to know her a little bit as well. I knew I would be in good hands when I found out that she was the #2 coach in the company (out of about 140,000). I had also been thinking of becoming a coach simply for the 25% off discount of all Beachbody products, and the possibility of making some extra money all while helping people who were struggling with what I have/had been.
I listened in on a Coach call and heard what coaching was all about, and got to hear why all of these coaches loved what they did. This was when I decided that it was for me. Now I just had to figure out how to go about doing this the best way. After talking to Melanie, I decided to join with the p90x3 challenge pack came out (the $40 coaching fee is waived when you sign up as a coach and buy a challenge pack), and would wait until December 10th (Its release date). After, I would join her personal apprenticeship program in January. From the #2 coach in the business?!!! YES PLEASE!!!
I signed up, bought my challange pack, saved over $130 in the process, and am currently waiting for the newest Tony Horton installment ;)
This was when the work really started. I had so much training to go through at first, and spent hours digging through all of it. After about a week of this, I wasn't sure where to go anymore with it, so I called Melanie! And I have a lot of tips from her now! Still waiting to see where I can get by the end of her training program!
What Does it mean now that I'm a Coach?
It means that I get to use this opportunity to motivate myself and others at the same time to reach our fitness goals and make money doing it! *crosses fingers*
I can run challenge groups where I invite people to join with a specific program or any BB program (depending on the kind I want to run), and help them succeed in reaching their goals. On top of that, I will be able to use the fact that people are counting on me to motivate myself every day to get up, workout, and eat right. (I'm a coach now! I've gotta do my best here!).
I can also bring in people underneath me who want to do the same thing that I am doing. It seems to be a pretty natural switch to go from Challenger to Coach, just because of the support and connections made in challange groups, and the results that challengers get.
I'm excited to see where this goes! Also on the list of things that I can do with Beacbody:
~Earn free trips to places like Vegas or Disney
~Go on a Cruise with other coaches and their families
~Win prizes based on how well I do every month
~Win money after my transformation (only 14 pounds away!)
~Network with amazing people!
Thanks for reading! And if you have any questions about Challenge groups or products, email me!
