My Beachbody Coach Income First 5 Months

I'm so excited to share my Beachbody coaching income for my first 5 months in the business. I started my first round of 21 Day Fix on Nov 1, 2015 and became a coach a couple of weeks later. I'm really proud that I can show revenue for the first month that I was in the business. I'm competitive though so I don't want to count it as a full month :-)

If you're reading this post, you're probably like "what the heck do Beachbody coaches get paid!?" That's exactly why I'm writing it! I appreciate that the world of Beachbody coaching can be a bit of a black box. Corporate jobs, teaching jobs, doctor jobs, lawyer jobs etc. are well known but direct marketing like Beachbody, a business that is primarily run on social media, is a little less transparent. My goal is to give you a view into the business so that you can make the best decisions for you and your family if coaching is right for you.

Here's why I am excited about the earning potential - The income is residual. Meaning, the work I do today will continue to pay me later. Monthly income can go from $40 a week to $12,000 a week. Technically, it can get a lot larger than that by opening up another business center.

March was an exciting month for me because I got my first team bonus. That means that I'm helping other people succeed, which is a major goal of mine.

Comp Plan Basics:

- Coaches get a 25% discount on all products. The fee to be a coach is $15.95/mo. Many people sign up to be a coach just to get the Shakeology discount which reduces the all in cost to $115/mo (that includes the coach fee) vs $130/mo. Anyone can become a coach to get the discount without actually "coaching."

- Coaches get paid 25% on any product that is purchased through their websites.

- Coaches make a team bonus for helping their own personally sponsored coaches succeed.

I never pictured myself as a Beachbody Coach. But when I lost 15 pounds in 2-3 months and got my BK (before kids) body back I was so thrilled that I was telling everyone about it. Somewhere in the back of my head I knew that I could get paid to do that! Now I run monthly challenge groups and help other people achieve their weight loss goals. I also mentor people, who like me, see the larger income opportunity to develop their own business.

Feel free to reach out to me! I hope this gives you a window into our world :-) I'm an open book and happy to help you succeed! Like my page or send me a personal message here: https://www.facebook.com/getrockinfit

Beachbody Coaching Backstage Pass: Day 1

Today my team kicked off a backstage pass to learning about Beachbody coaching. I loved the first post, which simply asked everyone to tell us a little more about themselves. This business is all about relationships and it's important to get to know each other! I went ahead and answered the questions myself and I realized that the reasons I'm excited about coaching and also what some of my initial fears were might be the same as someone else's. Here's a little sneak peak into my thought process on coaching:

Your name: Abba daba doo… just kidding it’s Abby.

A little about home life (married, kids, pets, etc): I’ve been married to Pat for less than 3 years (I have an easy way to remember… Jack was 6 months old when we got married!) My boys are 3 and 2. We do have a dog (Zion) but luckily my dad walks him almost every day for us!

Do you work full time and if yes, do you love what you do? I work full time selling IT research. I'm very lucky that I do like what I do, but I do NOT like being away from the family so much. I’m working towards being a WFH mom instead of a commute 2 hours a day mom.

What about coaching excites you? Coaching has helped me in so many ways. Running challenge groups and being the person that people look to for inspiration has helped me stay accountable to my own journey. I’m also MUCH more positive. Coaching is all about being the best version of yourself. And, I’m setting a good example for everyone in my family. My husband is struggling to allow himself the time to workout. He sees me working out and I think that gives him “permission” to do the same for himself.

The other side that really interests me is the income potential. I've maxed out on earning potential at my current job. This is not a get rich quick business... it's something you need to go in to knowing you'll be around in a couple of years. Considering the extremely low risk of $15 / month to be a coach I can definitely agree to staying on board for the long term! Plus, I'm making money and I've seen my income increase each month. Income in residual which means that the work you do today will continue to pay off and grow like a ramp up. Conversely, in my day to day sales job I work towards quarterly and yearly quotas. Each year on January 1st my year "starts over" which means I start from scratch. The difference with Beachbody is that the work I do today will continue to pay off years from now.

In what other business can you be the best version of yourself, help others, and enable yourself to stay at home with your kids? 

What about coaching makes you skeptical? It’s easy to get caught up in all the negative reviews online. I had to figure out for myself what is a pyramid scheme to prove to myself that this isn’t one. I think the hardest part was just getting over the “what other people might think." Then I started to be look around and I found that many of my friends have successful social media and direct marketing businesses. That helped me overcome some of my fears. Now I don’t look back!

Lunch for Less Than $1 Day

Everyone thinks that eating healthy is expensive. I actually think that the expensive part comes from buying too much and not really using it.

Before starting the 21 Day Fix, I always bought lunch out and usually spent $11-$12 every day. Actually making my food at home and bringing it with me to work was a totally new concept for me. Now that I've completed 5 rounds of the 21 Day Fix I'm starting to get a better handle on what food works for me.

For example, a staple of my day is having a huge salad at lunch. My view on veggies comes from reading Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Basically, the more veggies and the more varied the colors the better.

I'm also an "easier is better" type when it comes to food. Some of the things I eat every day are Siggi's yogurt (which counts as a "red" container, ie. protein), Shakeology after my workouts (another red container), berries (purple), and some kind of a snack. This week for my snack I'll have a turkey and cheese wrap. After that, it comes down to having a few good things around like apples, peanut butter, almonds and nuts, and having a healthy dinner.

Now that I have some of the basics down with meal prep, I'm working on getting more efficient at the grocery store. I have a running contest with myself to spend as little as possible. The ground rules are to buy only what we are going to consume that week.

Keep in mind, I'm not counting dinner out, my dunkin donuts coffee that I have every morning, etc. Each week is different because sometimes there are left overs and sometimes we have to restock on basics. My first week I spent $120 and today I spend $114.

Here's what's crazy, I found that my lunch costs less than $1 a day.

Lunch Total $4.89 = less than $1 / day
- large bag of pre cut kale $2.50
- shredded carrots $1.89
- chickpeas $.67

I do put other things in my salad including olive oil to massage the kale, balsamic, and shredded almonds... but those are all things that you buy once and they last a while so I'm not including them in the total.

So what the heck else did I buy for the other $109? First, the rest of my own daily items:

- 5 siggi's yogurts (I eat one a day)
- strawberries and blackberries (I cut and divide and create 5 containers which I bring to work)
- turkey and cheese wraps (a great late afternoon snack)

Dinner
- meatloaf and baked beans
- grilled chicken and rice pilaf
- quesadillas with mushroom, onion, peppers and refried beans

My original goal was to cut the weekly grocery list to about $100 per week. I think I've done pretty well at $114. It will be interesting to continue to track this since I know it'll change each week. Wish me luck!

About Me!

Heyo!

You may have stumbled across my blog randomly SO I wanted to give you a little more info on WHO I AM.

Firstly, I am a wife to an incredible man named Pat and a mama to two boys under 3 years old, Jack & Bo (the crime fighting duo).

Before I was a mom I lived the life of freedom! I’m from Boston and have lived in Jackson Hole Wyoming, Denver, and Boulder. I got to workout whenever I wanted, I completed the Arizona Ironman in 2010, and skied best mountains in the world!

All the while my clock was ticking and I got supremely lucky to find my hubby! Our love story was fast and furious and within a year of meeting we found our little Jack was in the making! In January 2013, out came our little love, along with an additional 50 lbs on my bod! Oopsies, then we got pregnant again when Jack was only 5 months old with Bo J Again, the weight piled on.

After two back to back pregnancies I realized my entire body, lifestyle, and mind had shifted. I was weak sauce. Not only that, I was working full time, chasing around my boys (or should I say, picking up the spaghetti off the floor!), and commuting into Boston an hour each way. I wanted to get back in shape but I always thought that I had to run, bike, or swim for hours to get there! Given my new life, that just wasn’t going to work for me.

I slowly ramped up my running again to 7 miles. This was a huge victory considering I spent a full year only running 1-2 miles at a time (a far cry from my former Ironman ability). I was pumped! But wait, here I was running but I wasn’t losing the weight!! I just couldn’t figure out how to get in shape.

 Then, I discovered 21 Day Fix and Beachbody – a health a fitness program that fit in MY schedule. I lost 15 pounds in two months, gained a whole lot of confidence, and stopped eating those dang mints at work!

I felt so strongly about sharing what I learned that I started Team Rockin' Fit and now I'm a coach that helps other busy moms, pregnant ladies, and gents lose their "baby weight." The crazy side bene is that my team actually helps ME stay the course too!

My mantra is balance – family, work, health. I’m striving towards my best yet and also talking to people who are where I was and helping them re-gain control of their health, fitness, and financial well-being. I specifically love helping other people who are stuck in a rut or simply lost in the day-to-day of being a new parent and just plain busy!

IT IS MY MISSION to help people see their potential AND LIVE IT!!!!
