I want a beachbody, but what the heck is Beachbody and how is it going to help me?

When I joined my first Challenge group, Beachbody programs confused the heck out of me. Sure, I’d heard of P90X and Insanity, but I had no clue that they were Beachbody products, I had no clue how much anything cost, and I was honestly just really confused.

What is Beachbody? 

Beachbody is an American company that was founded in 1998 by a guy named Carl Daikeler. The mission of the company is to “help people achieve their goals and enjoy healthy, fulfilling lives”. To add, Beachbody is a leading provider of nutrition, fitness, and weight loss programs that deliver results to its customers. One of the main cornerstones of the company can be found in the 450,000 independent “coaches” who run challenge groups and help to not only keep individuals who participate accountable, but also work on their own personal health journeys.

What are the Programs?

• Nutritional
  • Shakeology. Read more about this nutrient dense shake here!
  • The Portion Fix Eating Plan
    • This is a system that completely eliminates the need to count calories when on a diet program. The program is comprised of 7 containers, that each correspond to a food group (carb, fat, protein, etc). If your food fits in the container, than you can eat it! To add, the program includes a fun recipe book for ideas, and a 30 day risk free guarantee.  
  • 3 Day Refresh
    • This program (only 3 days long!) is focused on getting your metabolism revved up and getting  you ready to lose weight. The program involves 3 shakes a day and 3 small meals each day (as well as lots of water and a fiber drink!) to keep your metabolism going and cleanse. This program ALSO includes a 30 day money back guarantee if you don’t see the results that you want to see!
• Fitness – Beachbody has designed thousands of at home video programs for you to be able to do whenever you want/can! To add, these cost a heck of a lot less than a gym membership, and give you flexibility during your day. A few examples of popular programs are below:
  • P90X – This is a 90 day intensive program that utilizes cardio, resistance/body weight training, plyometrics, abdominal work, martial arts and yoga to get you the results you want.
  • Core de Force – This 30 day workout combines MMA combinations, bodyweight moves, and lots of cardio. The goal is to allow you to get rid of stubborn belly fat and lose inches from your waist without the use of any equipment.
  • Insanity Max:30 – This is an intensive 30 minute program that doesn’t require any equipment, but rather utilizes over 150 cardio and strength routines to get your blood pumping and your body toned.

But how much does it COST? 

• There are tons of ways to affordably get a program together with Beachbody that will show you results. I’ve laid out a few below, and if you are interested in some added discounts, shoot me an email or head here!
  • Beachbody OnDemand – This is an awesome way to get started, and my first suggestion for anyone looking to kickstart their fitness! The first 30 days of Beachbody OnDemand are completely free. To add, OnDemand gives you access to hundreds of fitness programs (including all of the ones laid out above!!) straight from your computer/phone. Try out a program and see if you like it, for free!
    • After that 30 days, the cost for Beachbody OnDemand is just $39 for 3 months (which comes out to only $13 a month!)
  • Fitness Programs – Prices vary on  individual programs, which are sent to you as a DVD. Examples below:
    • Core de Force – $60
    • P90X – $60
    • Insanity – 3 payments of $39.95
  • The Challenge Pack – The challenge pack costs $140 and includes each of the following:
    • Shakeology (Choice of bag or packets)
    • Membership into the Team Beachbody Club
    • A fitness program of YOUR choice

Moral of the story, I don’t want you to ever feel like you are guessing about programs and what to do. I want you to know all of your options and be able to compare! Whenever I start something, I always research, research, research. And thats why if you have any questions, I really want to help you!
