You need a Challenge Group

I've Got Just What you Need to SucceedNutrition Support Fitness

  • Have you been stuck in a rut with your workout and need a change?
  • Are you going to the gym every day, but not seeing any results?
  • Do you to eat healthy but you just can't stay away from the chips and cookies?
I have the perfect solution for you.  It is my Personal Fitness Challenge Accountability Group.

What is a Fitness Challenge Accountability Group?
It is a small group of 4-5 people who are committed to their health and fitness and want to achieve their goals.  Its a group of people who push each other to be the best that they can be.  Its a group that shares their accomplishments, their struggles, their goals and their challenges in the hopes of supporting and motivating the rest of the group.  Everyone in the group is committed to working out at least 3 days a week, committed to a healthy nutrition plan including Shakeology, and open to sharing their fitness goals and accomplishments with the group.  I will be actively coaching the group, participating in the group, and moderating the discussions.  The primary method of communications for the group is a private Facebook Group where everyone will be encouraged to post updates on a daily basis.  This approach eliminates any kind of geographical restrictions and lets us bring together anyone who wants to make the commitment.
Why are Fitness Challenge Accountability Groups so effective?
Accountability is the key to our success.  Most people start out a new fitness program full of enthusiasm and energy, but often that enthusiasm fades quickly at the first sign of adversity.  In the accountability group, your fellow participants will be expecting to see your workout logged  3 days each week and see the progress that you are making towards your goals.  Those mornings that you don't feel like getting up to workout, you will know in the back of your mind that the rest of the group will notice if you don't show up.  When you are tempted by that donut in the office break-room you can think about the others in the group who are making sacrifices to achieve their goals.  You can even tap into your competitive side by comparing your progress to the others in the group.  If you have 3 or 4 friends who all want to work toward their health and fitness goals, we can even form a group just for you and your friends.
How do I join the group?
The first step is the really think about WHY you want to be in a group like this.  I would love to have you in my group, but YOU have to be committed.  You have to truly want to make a change in your life.  When you and I talk about the Challenge Group, my first question will be "Why do you want to join this group?"  I am looking to see what is driving and motivating you.  Next, you need to sign up for your free Beachbody account with me as your coach.  We use the Team Beachbody account for logging and tracking your workouts so this step is important.  click here to start setting up your free account.  Once you setup your account I will contact you to discuss your goals, nutrition, and what fitness program you would like to do.

The Beachbody Coach Opportunity

Understanding the Beachbody Coach opportunity is fairly simple.  The first thing to know is that it’s not a scam, pyramid scheme, or a way to make a quick buck.  The funny thing about that is people always ask me if it is.  My response is typically:

“Have you ever bought Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Epicure, or other items from an independent representative?”

Nine times out of ten the answer is usually a resounding, “Well, of course I have”.  Well guess what?  Those independent representatives are all part of a Multi Level Marketing program.  The Beachbody Coach opportunity is really NO DIFFERENT than those other companies.  The difference is the Beachbody Coach opportunity is selling health and fitness products instead of tangible items you may never use.  The great thing about the Beachbody Coach Opportunity is that you are selling people better, more healthy lives through products and services.  What can be better than actually helping people get more fit through a an easy to understand set of products and services?

Additionally the Beacbody Coach opportunity is not a giant catalog of things to understand.  It’s a target amount of products and services to meet the needs of most people out there.  The network of people that are part of the Beachbody Coach opportunity is full of success stories and my story is no exception to that.  We all are trying to change lives and End the Trend of obesity through this opportunity.

The True Costs For The Beachbody Coach Opportunity

I wanted to give you a quick breakdown of the costs associated with being a Coach. 
When You Sign Up:
  • $39.95- This pays for your Business Starter Kit, access to your Coach Online Back Office, THREE personal websites, etc. This fee is waived if you purchase one of the three Starter Packs (Shakeology Starter Pack, Shakeology Plus Fitness Starter Pack, or the Diamond Pack), or you purchase a Challenge Pack.
  • $97.46 - For a bag of Shakeology OR this number maybe more if you get one of the other Starter Packs (Shakeology Starter Pack, Shakeology Plus Fitness Starter Pack, or the Diamond Pack), or a Challenge Pack.  I always recommend at the minimum that my new Coaches get on and start using Shakeology. If you have the money to buy one of the other Starter Packs instead and you want to make that investment, then I say go for it.
    Total Approximate Cost When You Sign Up: $137.41 + Taxes or more if you decide to get one of the other Starter Packs.
Also , as part of the Beachbody Coach opportunity, you get the benefit of a 25% discount on your own products you buy and use.  So if you want to try P90X2, or Insanity, or even the new Ultimate Reset, you get a discount to do so.  They do this so each person that is part of the Beachbody Coach program is able to talk about the different products and services by being a product OF the products.
Ongoing Costs:
  • $14.95/month starting your 2nd month as a Coach. This covers the cost to keep your Online Back Office and your THREE personal websites updated and running. It also helps cover all of the other expenses Beachbody incurs- customer service, shipping, inventory, marketing, etc.
  • $97.46/month to continue using Shakeology and to maintain your active status as a Coach. Beachbody only wants Coaches who are actively growing their business and who actively use the products (how can we get other people on the programs and products if we don’t use them ourselves? We can’t!). As such, you need to either buy or sell 50 PV (personal volume) worth of product each month. Using Shakeology will satisfy this requirement each month. Once you get established though and are consistently making sales, you can cancel your Shakeology. You may be like me though and once you start using it, you won’t want to stop!
Total Approximate Monthly Costs: $15.95 + $97.46 = $113.05
That’s approximately $113 to be part of the Beachbody Coach opportunity each month with your own supply of Shakeology, THREE websites, a back-office, and now the chance to GET PAID along with a massive library of tools and support from other people that have become part of the Beachbody Coach opportunity.

Can I Really Make Money With The Beachbody Coach Opportunity?

Many people sign up for the Beachbody Coach Opportunity to get the discounts but are missing the BIG PICTURE.  The simple answer to the question above is…YES! But ultimately it depends on you! If the company told you that you are going to make millions of dollars overnight as a Beachbody Coach, then I would say yes…the Beachbody Coach opportunity is a scam. But that isn’t the case. Unfortunately, in all businesses there are people who like to make wild claims or who just don’t tell the truth. I have been a Beachbody Coach only since December 2012 and I have been doing this at night and on the weekends as part-time. In that time I have made approximately $350/month and hit success club for at least two months.  That is just doing it part time!  I don’t know about you but even a few hundred dollars extra helps pay some of the bills in my house.  I was able to make the Beachbody Coach Emerald level, and I will eventually get to Diamond.
If someone has told you that you are guaranteed to make money or that you’re going to make millions overnight with the Beachbody Coach Opportunity, then I’m hear to tell you they are wrong. You may not make a dime as a Beahbody Coach. Or you could be making a six figure income within a year. Or you may just make a few hundred dollars a month as a Coach. As I mentioned earlier, it will always depend on YOU!
If you sign up as a Beachbody Coach expecting the money to just start flooding into your bank account with you doing NOTHING or VERY LITTLE WORK then you are living in a fantasy world and are just chasing the money. Just like ANY business, in the beginning you will be working your butt off for little pay. You will make little or no money in the beginning, but with time, hard work, and consistency you will see your income rise and rise, and rise (as long as you continue to take action).

How Do I Become Part Of The Beachbody Coach opportunity?

A New Passion


I have always enjoyed helping people. It seems to just naturally happen for me and when I find myself in times when no one needs my help….well, I lack a sense of purpose. This is also probably why I love being a Mom so much. I also understand why my own Mother has a fear that one day we will no longer need her…..right, as if THAT would ever happen!

The best part about life at the moment is that I am in the extremely fortunate position to offer help and support to someone every single day. That FEELS good and is so good for my soul. Long of the short – this new adventure is great. I think this is the beginning of a very long lasting journey for me.

I Challenge You


Shakeology 30 day Challenge!!!!

Starts in March!

Location: Your own home

Details: Take my 30-day Shakeology challenge starting on March 1st. Lose weight, feel more energized, and improve your digestion. And that’s just the beginning!!!!

Here is how it will work:

1. Go to www.beachbodycoach.com/SlimInTheCity Click on Shop and then Shakeology and then order Shakeology on home direct, whatever flavor you prefer. OR become a coach first and order Shakeology when you sign up to be a coach.

Why Home direct? Because at the end of 30 days, if you are not completely happy with your results, you can return the bag or box for a full refund and cancel your HD order. But….it if you love it—and you WILL—you won’t have to worry about missing a single day.

Also, it takes a full month to completely feel the benefits of drinking Shakeology every single day. I can provide samples to those who would like to try it first, but don’t wait because the challenge starts on March 1st and you want to make sure you’re ready to roll! 

2. Send me your weight—that’s it, no measurements—at the start and then again at the end of the challenge.

3. At the end of the 30 days—March 30th—the person who has lost the most weight on Shakeology will win a cool prize from me!!!! Probably a workout program...

There are no other rules or fees to put in. Just place a shakeology HD order with me, send me your weight by March 1st and then drink your Shakeology until the end of March. The biggest loser wins the prize!!!!

So who’s in? Come on, everyone!!!! Spring and summer are just around the corner. You’re going to be pulling those shorts and swimsuits out of hiding before long. Be ready to enjoy the warmer weather.

I AM SO EXCITED TO GET HEALTHY TOGETHER!!!!

Amazing

I can't express how happy I am to be on this adventure. I have been a Beachbody coach since the end of December. I have been drinking Shakeology since the beginning of January. All I can say is that I feel good....really really good!!!! 2013 is going to be amazing. I love that we are teaching our daughter how to be healthy. We have new found energy to go on adventures with her.

I have also been lucky enough to be able to help other people feel good and improve their health. It's a great position to be in.

If you are at all curious, you should check it out for yourself www.myshakeology.com/SlimInTheCity

The beginning

Well, here I go. I am uncertain about blogging but have always been intrigued by it so here goes nothing!

I decided that 2013 was going to be THE year. The one that focused on my health (while continuing to make sure that my family is good). I just know that I must show my daughter that this is important. If she see's her Dad and I making good choices then see is more likely to grow up healthy.....right?!?

My plan? Well, I became a Beachbody coach. why not? I love to help people. Fitness is more successful in groups, so why not do what I can to bring others along with me on this journey. Support is good and essential.

I also started using Shakeology. I must say that this has been amazing so far. I feel great. I have energy and dare I say, feel a little happier! Also......I have lost 4 pounds!!! The other bonus is that my acne prone problem skin is clearing up. This is an added bonus that I wasn't expecting.

Seriously, could it get any better then this!!!!
