Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog! This is my VERY FIRST day as a Beachbody coach! I was told that it would be a little overwhelming at first and boy was it ever!
Let's start with why I wanted to become a Beachbody coach. Back in 2008, I purchased a Beachbody workout called "Slim in 6" and ended up losing over 30lbs! Ever since then I have been hooked! I first heard about Beachbody coaching last week and after watching numerous YouTube videos about it I decided to sign up. I love that you get to hold Challenge Groups every month to help others lose weight with you! That sounds so much fun to me! Doing a workout program alone is not very motivating, so it's definitely better to have a group of people doing it together & giving each other support!
Okay, so here's how my first day as a Beachbody coach went! I first followed a link that my Beachbody coach emailed to me which took me to: beachbodycoach.com. By the way, if you don't already have a coach picked out don't worry, they will assign you one. Also, it was highly recommended that I purchase a Challenge Pack during the sign-up process because it came with a discounted work-out program, Shakeology (which every coach has to try at least once), and a few other perks that are extremely helpful to new coaches. Next, I filled out my information & ended up purchasing the Challenge Pack 140. With this package, the sign up fee was waved and it came with the 21 Day Fix workout program, a Business Starter Kit, 24 packets of Shakeology, & a membership to Team Beachbody Club. It cost me $140 plus a $2 shipping charge and $11.72 tax which came to a total of $153.72. Okay, okay; I know what you're thinking! "Where did this stay-at-home mom get that kind of money?!" Well, a family member of mine had a rent house come up vacant and she hired me to paint the inside of the house for her. It took me 4 days to finish and I put the money I made in a separate account to be used for the Beachbody coach membership. I know, I know; it sounds like a desperate move, but I'd do anything to get to stay at home with my baby and not have to go back to work! Plus, there's a very good chance this could turn into a healthy income, right?! Okay, so once I signed into the Beachbody coach website after signing up, I was immediately overwhelmed by all the wealth of information and numerous tabs staring me in the face! A "Take a Tour" box popped up which helped make things a little less intimidating but then when I clicked on my "Coach Online Office" tab I was instantly overwhelmed yet again! People, people; if you ever sign up to be a Beachbody coach, read your emails first! All my confusion could have easily been avoided if I hadn't jumped head first into it overly eager to get started! I had no idea they had even sent me an email! When I finally discovered it, I wanted to kick myself for jumping the gun! They had simple steps already laid out for me to follow. They even had a link to the coach training along with a super simple 7 day "Business Quick Start" guide for me to follow. SOOOO MUCH EASIER! I jumped ahead 2 days on the quick start guide while my baby was napping and started feeling SOOOO much better about everything! Don't be like me! Check your emails first lol! I, also, went ahead and set up my coach Facebook page, which down to this second still only has ONE "Like" (MINE), but hey it's only been one day, right?! My coach is going to let me sit in on her next Challenge Group so that I can learn the ropes. I can't wait to start my own very first Challenge Group! All in all, I am very excited about this company and this coaching opportunity! Please follow my blog and "Like" my Facebook page if you want to follow my journey & hopefully join me in my very first Challenge Group!
