How much can you make as a Beachbody Coach?


This seems to be one of the first and most frequent questions I get asked when I tell people that I am a Beachbody Coach, along with what do you have to do and how much does it actually cost. I usually start by clarifying that although being a Beachbody Coach does have a monthly fee, that it actually saves me money on products I would be purchasing anyway, so why not make money at it while helping myself as well as others get into better shape? When I get into a brief description of how we earn money as coaches and I mention the word "rank," that's when I usually hear, "what is a Diamond Coach and how much can they earn?" Well, let me explain it here, so I can possibly save my breath when I get asked in the near future.
Diamond Beachbody Coach
DIAMOND COACH:

A Diamond Beachbody Coach has to meet certain requirements:
  1.  Be active with at least 100 PV (Personal Volume), where at least 50 PV comes from Customer Orders.
  2. Personally  sponsor 8 coaches (4 on each of their business legs)
  3. Have at least 1 of those coaches from each leg reach Emerald Rank (They need to sponsor 2 coaches of their own)
**Note that a coach can sponsor 100 other coaches, but if they don't help their coaches grow their businesses, they won't achieve anything.

When a Beachbody Coach has achieved the rank of Diamond, it means they are doing fairly well and is most likely seeing their business grow on a consistent basis. A Diamond Coach is also at the highest level of team cycle bonuses, which is $18 per cycle and can reach a maximum of $2000 per week. If a Diamond Coach reaches this maximum every week, they would earn $104,000 a year in team cycle bonuses alone (but this is just a theory). As far as actual numbers are concerned, that can only be determined by how hard a coach is willing to work. I can, however, show you some basic stats on how much Diamond Coaches made last year:
  • The lowest amount a Diamond Coach made in 2009 was $485
  • The average amount of all Diamond Coaches in 2009 was $21,966
  • The highest amount a Diamond Coach made in 2009 was $296,130
The highest paid Beachbody Coach in 2009 earned a whopping $932,118.  Not too bad for a job you can start doing part-time to earn supplemental income to your regular job!

But here is the most exciting news; Diamond isn't even the highest rank a Beacbody Coach can achieve...not even close! You can become a 1-Star Diamond up through a 15-Star Diamond as your business continues to grow. As you reach 2-Star, 5-Star, 10-Star and 15-Star Diamond status, you will qualify for even more bonuses, earning a share of 2% of Beachbody's Bonus volume.

As you can see from the 2009 statistics, a lot of money can be made in this business, but it is up to the coach to determine just how successful they will be. If a coach can sponsor even 1 new coach a month, by the end of their first year they have the potential to earn a lot of money as they teach their coaches to follow the same business plan. I wish you all the best of luck, and look forward to having you join my Beachbody Coach Team.

Fitness Ministry - TurboJam Experience

My Tuesday night classes have been pretty strong, and the women have always expressed their thanks to me for hosting it for them. But it occurred to me that some of the ladies may want to see a different type of workout than the P90X cardio workouts, the Insanity Recovery Workouts and the Shakeology workouts. They are always good sports and get great workouts, but needed something with a little more rhythm and dance to it that would pump them up. I knew exactly where this was heading, but I had to swallow my pride and offer them a night of TurboJam. I will be honest, I suck at the TurboJam and TurboFire series, and although I can get through the movements easily, the sequencing throws me off and it really is the only time I ever feel uncoordinated. But this is my ministry, and it isn't about me. It's about helping to support these brave ladies who have taken a leap of faith to trust my judgement on what workouts they can handle, and push themselves more than they perhaps ever have before. I have been so proud of them lately that I couldn't deny them their time to dance to Chalene Johnson's music. So we did it and they loved it. I am still standing, with minimal embarrassment in the process. All in all, I think they really appreciated the fact that I was willing to do something that I wasn't comfortable doing, allowing myself to be vulnerable during a workout. They also could see that when I got a little confused, I just kept going the best I could and eventually figured out the right motion without any worry. I think them seeing that will be have a positive effect when introducing other workouts to them in the future. I am humbled yet very proud of the work my group is doing TOGETHER!
