The Perks of being a Beachbody Coach

This past week a few of my fellow team mates have been attending an All Inclusive Resort in Mexico-Moon Palace, for a Team Beachbody Success Club Retreat. Did I mention that I EARNED this trip for FREE?! BUT since I didn't sign up as a coach until July, I was a little down on the wait list. BUT still super proud that me, my husband and Jax(if he wanted to go;) had the opportunity to go on an incredible vacation all expense paid. 

 This is where they announced Shaun T's NEWEST program that will be released THIS summer "Cize"

Earning vacations through this business is just one of the many perks, I have to share how I came about being a Beachbody Coach.

For years I attended the gym in Listowel Monday to Friday at 6am before work, had a personal trainer and used a personalized program, no significant changes made what so ever, even after my hard work. I tried Weight Watchers, lost 10 pounds but didn't maintain it. I then resorted to Herbal One before our wedding....which I lost 30 pounds but I think I doubled the number when it all went back on....

I had known Danielle Melanson for years, her sister had dated my brother in law previously. I watched Danielle loose A LOT of weight, and than become a Beachbody Coach. In 18 months she was able to retire from her full time job and focus solely on Coaching. I was intrigued and completely inspired. THAN, the 21 Day Fix came out. This was EXACTLY what I needed....30 min exercises...being a new mom I didn't have the time for hour long gym workouts...food portion control containers, Shakeology which gave me the energy I needed with having the new baby, but what I needed most that Beachbody Coaches offer, was the accountability. She put me in a private challenge group and within 21 days I lost 11 pounds. After that I was addicted, Shakeology I WILL drink every single day and this has evolved into a lifestyle change.

Now a little secret....prior to joining the group, about 9 months prior to that, I researched Beachbody Coaches like CRAZY! Is it possible for little old average me to stay home with Jax and run a successful coaching business? What I learned over the course of the months was that YES it was possible...it was happening every single week! I had a full time job to go back to BUT I knew in my heart that I wanted to be home with Jax. He was our little miracle and babies just grow up WAY too fast. I wanted to be the one to see him learning and growing but still be able to provide for him at a certain level.

I signed up as a coach the end of June 2014 and from there I haven't looked back. Within 3 months...all because I helped at least 3 people in those first 3 months I was awarded my trip to Nashville to Coach Summit this coming July 2015. Each month I have earned free stuff from books to fitness gear to fitness wear. I think what I am most excited about is the Cruise that Chris and I will be going on in March 2016!

Not only that but my pay is growing....9 months into this business and I make enough just at my coaching to cover the mortgage payment and the groceries, a nice little extra paying side job. 

Embarking on the journey that my husband and I have through Infertility, Endometriosis and Adoption, I always wondered where my life was meant to be, and I strongly believe doing this. I love nothing more than helping other people and showing them the positive in situations. Life can hand you some pretty rotten lemons but I will always be there right beside you making some lemonade:) 


Was I a fitness guru-no! Did I know much about Health and Nutrition-absolutely not! What this is all about is helping others, motivating them and inspiring them.

I want you to know that this is something that YOU can do as well, we all wonder what our purpose is in life and if you have a strong desire to help others than this is something for YOU.
