My name is Mark Klanac. I am a Coach with Team Beachbody.

So what exactly is a Team Beachbody Coach? First off, you need to know that I was, and am, a customer of Beachbody. This is the company that makes P90X, Insanity, Power 90, and many other home workout programs. You probably ended up here because you were searching for info related to those and you found me. It is because I have used P90X and other Beachbody products to get in shape and write about using them on my site.

As a disclaimer – I am not a fitness or nutrition expert and do not claim to be. I am just a normal guy who has struggled staying in shape while going to gyms over the years and have now found a better way. I leave the nutrition and fitness to the experts. I let the people at Beachbody tell me what to do. They come up with the workouts and nutrition plans and I follow them. When I get done with one workout I go and buy a new one. Doing so has helped me get into great shape all from the comfort of my home. I have been able to save about $500 a year on gym memberships as I do not need it anymore. I just push ‘Play’ and follow along.

When you clicked on the Beachbody Coach link I know the first thing you saw was “Start your own business for $39.95.” Let me explain. When you sign up to be a Coach you have the opportunity to start a business on the side while you are working out to a program of your choice. What Beachbody found out was people who were using their programs were getting great results and friends, family, co-workers, etc. were asking them what they were doing to get into shape. People would tell them and go buy the products from Beachbody directly. Beachbody decided to start rewarding people who tell people what they are doing.

A couple things you should know about being a Coach. Don’t let the title of Coach scare you. You are not coaching anybody. If anything, Beachbody is coaching you. It is $39.95 to start and $14.95 a month after. Think of it as your enrollment fee and monthly dues at a gym. One of the best benefits of being a coach is you get a 25% discount on all Beachbody products. The savings alone make sense to sign up.

The Beachbody compensation plan video describes every thing from my video more in depth (the first 3 minutes explain the basics). It shows how you can earn money from making sales and also from sponsoring new people under you. What I have found out is that people are nervous joining this type of program as they do not want to bug friends or family to join and you know what, you don’t have to. I’ll cover that more below.

Who Should Sign Up To Be A Coach?

- Anybody who is looking for a new way to get into shape and possibly help others do the same.

- Somebody who currently buys health products and wants a to save money on those products.

Who Is The Coach Program Not For?

- Somebody who is not willing to try to get into shape with a Beachbody workout.

I tell everybody that being a coach is a commitment to yourself to get into shape with Beachbody workouts. To be successful as a coach you need to be a walking billboard. What always happens is around the two month mark of doing a workout people start noticing your results. Now the coach can send them to the website Beachbody gives you (looks like this) and earn some money.

Think about this for a second. Let’s say you don’t even earn $1 as a coach but you got into great shape. Would it still be worth it? I think so. The reason why people fail when going to the gyms is they don’t have the knowledge to make their own programs and continue to change them. Beachbody handles all of that for you now.

Beachbody has many products to choose from and you can go on their home direct plan where they mail you a product of your choice every 5 weeks. I have them send me the P90X Recovery Drink, a tub of Whey Protein (for shakes), and 2 boxes of their variety pack Protein Bars for a mid day snack. I recommend every body get on it. If you know its coming in the mail you will use it and do the workouts. Plus, it tastes good.

If you are ready to get started then click on the Beachbody Coach link and sign up. During sign up you will be able to buy whatever products you want like P90X or Insanity with your 25% discount. Beachbody will then send you a welcome e-mail. Please take a couple minutes to complete the things they want you to do.

After you sign up please send a e-mail to Mark@MyHealthyFitLife.com letting me know you signed up. I will respond asap. From there we will set up a time where I can answer questions about being a coach and go over in depth how it all works.

Starting P90X+ has been a humbling experience. I forgot how much of a learning curve there was when we first started P90X. With so many new moves the first few days were pretty long. We basically would watch Mark Briggs and Traci Morrow do the moves, reverse the DVD, then do the moves ourselves. A little time consuming but I’m definitely looking forward to week 2 and beyond now that I know the moves.

For those of you that don’t know, P90X+ is the next step after you have completed P90X. It introduces new moves to aid in the “muscle confusion” and also cranks up the intensity.

There are only 4 disks that come with P90X+. You get Upper Plus, Total Body Plus, Interval X Plus and Kenpo Cardio Plus. There is also an Abs/Core Plus workout on some of the DVDs.

If you’ve completed P90X and are ready for the next level than check out P90X+ for a new challenge.
