End of May marked my first year anniversary as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. It’s been a great year! Before coaching I had stalled/plateaued in my weight loss. I knew that this would help give me that extra push to lose the weight I’ve been trying so hard to lose, and give me a discount to use the amazing tools Beachbody offers. I wont lie, I was a little nervous – I’ve always been leery of the idea of MLM’s. Don’t get me wrong I think Tupperware and Mary Kay are great… just could never see me selling it. I had already been running a biggest loser game with friends, I knew helping others was the best way for me to stay on track. And I was already suggesting most of the Beachbody programs to my friends because they’re great workouts! So I decided to go for it. I had hopes that I would be able to get the financial success but taking the control over my health and fitness was would be worth it alone.
I started off with Insanity and Shakeology… 15lbs and 10+ inches – I knew I made the right choice.
With these tools, I knew I could reach my goals. As a coach you get a 25% discount on everything! And as a coach you are not required to do a thing, you can just join for the discount, so it’s like a Costco card for Fitness! But I was also interested in how I could make an income doing this…
I started using Facebook and Twitter to meet people with whom I shared common interests. There are so many people out there looking for help, support, and accountability. I was meeting people all over the USA, and some in other countries. Amazing people all looking to get healthy and feel good. In 3 weeks I became an Emerald Coach and getting my first checks. And I wasn’t selling anything! I was sharing and supporting. Sharing what I was doing, what was working for me. Supporting others as they work toward their fitness. I’m not a fitness professional – I’m a mom of 2 young children who knows what it’s like to struggle with this.
These first 12 months as a coach have been amazing! I have been able to lose 30lbs! I’ve been able to push my body farther then I knew was possible… literally! I ran my first half marathon! I’ve been able to help others work toward and reach their fitness goals. I’ve gone from Coach to 1 Star Diamond Coach, not only helping my family financially but helping all my coaches reach their goals physically and financially.
One really awesome thing about becoming a coach is you join this group of people… contagiously positive people, who are in to fitness and who’s goals are to help others. Something happens to you when you surround yourself with positive uplifting people… you’re able to do more, push harder, believe in yourself more, believe in other people.

I’m a stay at home mom of 2 small boys, 3yrs and 4yrs, and I’m making a good income that keeps growing every month! I set my own hours, I get to be there for my boys all day long. I’m living a very blessed life because I decided to take the leap of faith and see what I could do with this. Thank you Beachbody! Thank you Carl Daikeler for providing this opportunity. I know this is just the beginning – and bigger and better things are coming!
