What I Like about being a Beachbody Coach

A lot of people ask me about being a Beachbody Coach.  It’s usually some stuff like “You sell P90X2? Dude, how do you do that?”.  They don’t really understand what it means to be a Beachbody Coach, and they just think I sell P90X, chocolate shakes and exercise equipment.  The funny thing is…I’m not really selling that stuff….I’m really selling the RESULTS it gets people.  As a Beachbody Coach, you do get to ride on some pretty big coat-tails of the company….since they spend about 90-100 million dollars per year on advertising, all Beachbody Coaches benefit from that.  But, in reality, those commercials are selling the programs, shakes and exercise equipment, but what you can do as a Beachbody Coach is help those people who bought that stuff to realize their goals.  A lot of people I know are like “Yea, I bought P90X, it’s hard and everything, but it just didn’t workout for me”.  They say stuff like “I’m too busy for that” or “Yea, I can’t do pull-ups so I quit”.  That’s the beauty of being a Beachbody Coach, you can take that person and show them why they CAN fit P90X into their busy schedule, or how they CAN do pull-ups…..or at least modify them until they get to a point where they are doing pull-ups on their own.  That’s the trick.  A Beachbody Coach can do those things for people.  The crazy thing is that….I spent 18 years in post- high school education to be a Surgeon…and being a Beachbody Coach, I can get the same reward (both monetary and emotionally) from being a Coach as I can being a Surgeon.  As a Surgeon, people come to me sick, I fix them, they get better and go home.  It’s a pretty rewarding thing to do.  The only problem is, a lot of times the underlying disease is still there with that person.  So…..they may come back to me with the same problem a few years later.  I never really get to teach them about their problem.  I try, but often many people really don’t wan to know.  They just want to get back to their “normal life” without the pain or problem that they came to me with.  So in a sense, it’s pretty cool I get to fix them and send them on their merry way, but as a Beachbody Coach, I get to EDUCATE people on their diseases.  I get to discuss with them WHY their cholesterol is high, and how to fix it.  I point them to the right combination of fitness, nutrition and social support and they FIX THEIR OWN PROBLEM.  That is just as rewarding….dare I say more rewarding than removing a bad gallbladder and watching the patient have chips and pizza for dinner while they are still in the hospital.  So, I guess what I’m trying to say is, being a Beachbody Coach is WAAAAY more than just “selling P90X” as some of my friends put it.  If you are interested in having a rewarding job like being a Beachbody Coach, email me and we can talk. http://www.ultimatefitnessgear.com/
