What is a coach? Why do it?

Beachbody??

What is a Beachbody coach? Why should I listen to you? How do you know what's best for me? Are you for real?

I get these questions often and know they plague a person's mind when thinking about how to get healthy. I am NOT an expert and DO NOT claim to be one, rather I am a normal person with a goal of being fit and living a healthier lifestyle.

My story: 

why I became a coach

The idea of having a better discount on workout programs and shakeology definitely peaked my interest. I wanted to earn a little bit of money on the side and thought if I could workout and earn money why not. I started thinking I'd immediately encourage others and they'd want to be on the same journey as me. I realized that when I started I was not completely ready and needed to continue to mold myself into who I had the desire to become, better and healthier. Well why not improve my own health and help myself to become more aware of what I do and put into my body, easier said than done.

Pops and me at his 1st ever 5k. Signed up for 2 miles and he walked all 3!!

I was used to working out and actually loved it, but when it came to showing results I had little to none. I couldn't figure it out and was SUPER upset on why I could work so hard and not have anything to show for it. I was sick of no results and wanted others to see me be successful that when I failed, I gave up. I got envious and thought, "There are so many other people that can do this, why can't I?" I was so worried to compare myself to others and real havoc on myself when I couldn't compete with them. I was sick of jumping up sizes in clothes, had to keep adding to my closet because my own clothes wouldn't fit. I was so self-conscious and would wear sweats most of the time rather than real pants. I admit even in this position I have given up, tried to show/have results that weren't there and that's because I was jealous of how others could do it and get AWESOME results and I am just sitting here on the back wall with jaw wide open. I gave up on myself, my plan, my work, and tried to blame everyone but ME. I want to feel completely confident in my body and not just work to cover it up.

Hitting a wall

After hitting all the plateaus, walls, obstacles and challenges I hit bottom. I thought I can't do this why even try. I saw coaching as a way to learn to be a motivator; to learn to encourage others to live an active lifestyle; to learn to eat healthy and control the most abused drug: FOOD! I saw it as an opportunity to help my family and to give insight on how to become more healthy and stay away from daunting statistics of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, stroke, etc. I am not saying that the last 6 months or so has been a cake walk. I started with a mindset I wasn't ready for and have had to learn through my own process how to manage my career and lifestyle. I have had to learn to say no to past desires: alcohol, sweets, junk food. I now have them in moderation and have learned to control it. Yes some days are worse than others, but I do not deprive myself nor do I beat myself up for it. 

This opportunity to be a Beachbody coach and be part of a team of people who love to reward their body and encourage/motivate others is amazing. I am not one to push push and push until I sell something, rather share my own story and get to know the person. I want to learn that process better and as I am improving myself people are watching and taking notice. I read personal development and learn how to focus my mind, body, and soul towards my goal. When you are ready you will find that coach/person to be there for you; to help you with your own journey. I am blessed to have such a great MisFIT Family and to be on this team and continuous learning path with them. 

Think it over

So give it a thought. Do you have what it takes to be a coach? Do you want to learn how to develop your own healthy mind and lifestyle? Do you want to MOTIVATE and INSPIRE others who are waiting for that person to push them and back them up?Would you like the support of thousands of people like you? Are you ready for that summer body and need that person to hold you accountable? Are you looking for a new workout program you can do at home?
