Why I Became a Beachbody Coach

To be completely honest, I had no idea about beachbody coaching until my friend Liz became one! I never even knew about challenge groups until Liz messaged me late one night in October and told me all about it. As I was reading, I was like wow this is exactly what I need. She asked me to be in her first challenge group in November, just in time for the holidays! I knew this would be the ultimate test for me to know if this was  what would finally work for me. Would this be the first holiday I would be able to make it through without gaining weight? I was so tired of starting things and never finishing them. I was tired of being a quitter!! I was tired of being unhappy with myself! So, Liz added me into two different Facebook groups and I was so excited to get started!! I started looking around in the groups and reading all of these posts and looking at pictures of all the lives that beachbody had helped change! I began thinking, could I be the next beachbody success story? Halfway through the November Challenge group, Liz mentioned that she thought I would make a great beachbody coach. She explained to me that coaching doesn't make me a fitness expert, nor does it make me a nutritionist. You are simply a product of the product who is passionate about helping others reach their health and fitness goals. You are there to be their supporter, encourager, and motivator! I was apprehensive at first because I hadn't met my goal! Liz explained that by becoming a coach it would help me push even harder towards my goals and people don't relate to perfection. They relate to real people who have the same struggles as they do. I definitely meet that criteria.  I told her I was interested, but just wasn't sure I was ready to take that leap of faith! I continued Liz's challenge groups through February. Over the 3 months of challenge groups, I had awakened this new part of myself that I never knew existed. I began feeling more confident in myself! I noticed that people were watching me to see if I would stick with this or if I was going to once again allow myself to fail. I REFUSED to fail again! The girls in my challenge groups were so incredible and helped keep me on track. When I was ready to give up, they were there to pick me up, help dust me off, and remind me why I started in the first place! February 14, 2013 was the day that I finally decided I was ready! I was ready to become a beachbody coach! I was ready to start helping everyone around me become healthy and happy like me! Coaching for me is the opportunity to help make a difference in this world. I always knew I was meant to help people. I knew I loved it and I always thought that a career in healthcare was my way of "helping", but the more involved I get in beachbody the more excited I get and the more I think maybe this is what I was meant to do from the beginning! I'm excited about the possibilities that I have been afforded so far, and I cannot wait to see what my future with beachbody holds!
