Jeff Ochoa attends the Beachbody leadership conference in California!!!  Sounds kind of funny writing in 3rd person but it is good for Google.  When I am searched for this post should come up on the first page as well as my other stuff.

First let me say that Beachbody once again has put on an awesome event that was second to none.  Beachbody chose a great location in sunny southern California at the Laguna Cliffs resort in Dana point. Thursday night was kicked off with an awesome outside reception where we had a chance to mingle with other Beachbody coaches and Beacbody corporate people like Carl Daikeler, John Congdon, Brett Blake, Michael Neimand and Jeff Hill. All of these guys are great and listened with an open mind.

Friday morning (7:00 am) kicked off with a RevAbs work out with Brett Hoebel followed by breakfast and Shakeology. Brett Hoebel rocked it and I am sure the whole resort could hear us and the bumping music. Booooty time!!!!!  LOL  When breakfast was finished we only had about 20 minutes to shower and then get to the training which ran for the remainder of the day with a lunch break. There was also another yoga work out with Brett Hoebel after training for those that wanted to attend.Carl Daikeler and the guys also made themselves available for questions and pictures for a while too.

Saturday morning kicked off at 6:30 and with a P90X2 Yoga work out.  They gave us a P90X2 yoga mat so that was cool and the work out was awesome. It was only about 65 minutes which I like a lot better than the 90 minutes of Yoga X in P90X.  Off to breakfast after, quick shower and then more training for the rest of the day. The evening consisted of a 50′s themed “Good Vibrations” bash.  They had a band, dance floor, good food and drink.  A great time was had by all.

Sunday was departures.  Long trip back to Michigan.

This is another reason being a Beachbody coach is so awesome.  You can qualify for these trips in addition to helping 100′s of people get fit physically and financially.

One of the highlights of the trip was when Carl Daikeler announced some new products that will be coming.  First announcement was Body Pump by Les Mills. This work out will be a great addition to the Beachbody product line.  This work out is already in over 45 countries and is very well know.

Second new product was Tai Cheng which will be a Tai Chi work out.  This will be great if you are recovering from an injury or need something low impact.

Third announcement was the the new flavor of Shakeology, Tropical, should be ready around Jan 2012.  This flavor will also be vegan which will also be an awesome addition to the product line.

Last but not least. (Let me turn up the volume) YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET P90X CERTIFIED! This means you could actually teach a P90X class and get paid for it.  Sort of like Zumba, TurboKick or a kick boxing class.  This should be launched around March in 2012 and it will be available to Beachbody Coaches first.

If you have questions on the P90X Certification feel free to send me an email or give me a ring.  p90X certification would be a great addition to any fitness business.

We will also start offering “The Beachbody Challenge.”  Want to get in awesome shape? Ready to take the challenge? Just ask me how.

Here are my top 10 reasons to become a Beachbody coach! First off, let me say that there are many benefits to becoming a Beachbody coach but these are 10 of my favorite reasons.

1. You get to pay it forward.

There is no limit to the number of people you can help get healthy and fit.  Everyone knows someone who could use better health. (Think about it.) As a matter of fact you owe it to someone to help them change their fitness. If I can do it, you can do it.

2. You get to make some extra money.

That’s right, every time you recommend one of Beachbody’s products you receive a 25% commission for you effort. (Not too shabby.) Best part is, these products sell themselves.  We are not selling we are just recommending.  Believe me when I tell you, most people have heard of the P90X exercise program   and many of our work outs because the infomercials do most of the work for us.

3. You will save 25% on all of your purchases.

Shakeology, Insanity: The Asylum, P90X2, you name it. You will save 25% on the whole Beachbody products line

4. Accountability

Believe it or not, being a coach makes me want to work out even more. I feel like it is part of my job now.  If I am going to talk the talk then I have to walk the walk. You will also have tons of support for your Beachbody business.

5. You can qualify for FREE customers.

You read it right, FREE customers. You have to qualify but its not that hard. (Give me a call and I can give you the details.) Over time these customers start to add up. And guess what, when a new program like P90X2 is released you will already have built in sales.

6. You are in business for yourself but not by yourself.

This is one of the best parts of this business.  We are all shooting for the same thing and there will always be somebody to help if you need it.

7. Everybody has heard of our products.

With over $100 million spent in infomercial advertising and around $500 million in sales you can bet that a lot of people have heard of Beachbody products. (You can’t say that about other companies products.) It is definitely a lot easier to recommend a work out when someone seen an infomercial for it 2 days ago.

8. No experience needed.

You don’t have to be a nutritionist or a trainer but you do have to want to share fitness with others.  If you like helping others then becoming a Beachbody coach is for you.

9. Tax benefits.

When you become a Beachbody coach you are starting your own business. With that will come certain tax advantages and write offs. (Talk to your CPA for more details.)

10. Beachbody has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau

This speaks for itself but but feel free to check out my post Beachbody gets an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

How to make money with P90X? You have heard of  the P90X exercise program and you probably know the name Tony Horton but now you have questions on how to make money with P90X. If you have done P90X then I am sure you have seen some pretty good results, probably even had people asking you what you are doing.  Maybe you have recommended P90X to someone at work or a friend kind of like you would a good restaurant or a good movie you have recently seen. Have you been doing this?  Then you have what it takes to be a Beachbody coach and make a some extra money from your referrals and helping others get fit.  Don’t let the work “coach” scare you.  We are just regular people who want to help others.  I am not a personal trainer or a nutritionist and you don’t need to be to do this business.

Here’s how easy this business is….. since you are already talking about P90X all you have to do is take one extra step, send then to your website.  So when someone asks you about P90X you send them to your Beachbody site and then they can purchase their own P90X or any Beachbody product.  It’s that simple and you make 25% per sale.  You also will save 25% on all of your own purchases including P90X results and recovery drink, Shakeology, P90X protein bars and all of the Beachbody work outs and supplements. Here is the great part, some of these people are going to want to make some extra money too.  When they do, since they are part of your team, you can make some additional income on all of the volume that your team generates. (Those could be some big numbers.)

So what do do now?  Watch this video below and let me know if you have any questions.

This is a great opportunity to get fit both physically and financially so feel free to give me a ring if you have any questions on how to make money with P90X and all of the Beachbody products.

What does a Beachbody coach do? I often get this question a lot from people who think they do not have the qualifications to do this business.  What I want to do today is clarify a couple of things so you know exactly what we do as a Beachbody coach.

First off let me start by saying the you do not need to be a personal trainer or a nutritionist, that is the job of the Beachbody work outs. We do have trainers, nutritionists, doctors, lawyers and people from all walks of life that do this business but the bottom line is that most coaches are just average people who loved the work outs and want to share them with others.  One thing I know for sure is that anyone can share.  You do it all the time when you suggest a movie or a restaurant to your friends or family.  This is exactly what we do as Beachbody coaches.  We recommend something that we know works and produces results. Most people who have done a Beachbody work out are already talking about it so becoming a Beachbody coach is just a natural progression.

To keep it simple, we stay in great shape with a Beachbody work out, we buy our supplements from our own store (saving 25%) and we share this with others.  That’s it in a nut shell.  Do you know anyone who want to lose some weight?  Do you know anyone that could use some extra money?  Do you know anyone who hates their current job? Do you know anyone who wants to get in better shape?  I am pretty sure you said yes to all of those questions.  This just goes to show you that people need what we have and if you can fulfill a need then you are on the right track.

When you become a Beachbody coach you are given the tools to help you succeed. The plan is laid out in front of you and all you have to do is follow it.  By no means do I want to give the impression that this business is easy.  Just as with any business it takes time and effort.  If you can give me those 2 things they you will have success.  There are varying degrees of success and that will depend on you.  Some people just want to make their car payment and some people want to make a million dollars a year.  As a Beachbody coach you can attain any level of success you want because it is up to you.

Please feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Ready to become a coach?

Jeff Ochoa visits Beachbody Headquarters.  Sounds kind of funny when you are writing about yourself.  Almost sounds like I am important or something. Anyways, myself and some other fantastic individuals were invited out to Beachbody corporate for some social media training and while I was there I wanted to see all of the “behind the scenes” action that goes on at the Corporate offices of Beachbody. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but needless to say I was pleasantly surprised to see a “Google type” work atmosphere filled with highly energetic, friendly and motivated people.  We were give an awesome tour by Bryan Carpender, if you are a coach, and going to take the tour of the corporate offices, be sure to ask for Bryan.  He will take awesome care of you.

As you can see in my picture this is the first thing you see when you step off of the elevators.  Guess I have the Beachbody world in mine hands.  How ironic, Beachbody Business, Beachbody fitness and it’s all in my hands.  The second thing that quickly caught my attention was above the seating area right off of the elevators there was this sort of carved out circle hanging above you and inscribed in the side of the circle were the words, “Help people achieve their goals and enjoy a healthy, fulfilling life.” This struck a chord with me.  I thought to myself, “what an awesome motto.” The perfect answer for people when they say, “Hey there Jeff Ochoa, what do you do?”

As the tour continued we met some very friendly Beachbody executives and employees.  Look out the window of one of those executive offices and you see a huge Beachbody logo along with a volley ball court.  I asked Bryan if it gets used and he said “Sure does”.  Continuing the tour Bryan showed us the work out room where he said that all employees can use it whenever they choose.  Yes, it was equipped with a huge pull up bar.  Looked like you could fit 15 people at a time on that bar.  Then he showed us the latest office challenge.  Most of the employee’s will be doing RevAbs for the next 90 days to get ready for summer. There’s always some kind of fitness challenge going on over there. Great way to keep the employees motivated and moving.

Then we move on and walked past a bunch of conference rooms all named after 80′s iconic movies such as the Spicoli room and the Lebowski room.  I did take pictures of the names of these rooms and all around the office so feel free to view the pictures at Beachbody Headquarters Pictures. Also, be sure to check out the picture I took of the definition of “Dude”.  Are you a dude?

As we continued the tour I was really caught off guard with an awesome surprise. Tony Horton, the man himself, just so happened to be visiting that day as well.  Yes, he is as energetic in person as he is on camera.  Tony was talking about how he just left the warehouse and how there were a bunch of pallets each stacked with 100′s of P90X’s on them just waiting to be shipped.  He was happy, not for the sales, but for how many lives that this shipment was going to impact.

All and all, this little tour just reaffirmed what I already knew.  I have chosen an awesome company to be a part of.  They walk the walk and talk the talk.  They truly are on a mission to help as many people as possible. Will you join me?

Any questions just let me know.

Jeff Ochoa and Tony Horton

Yes, I am a Michigan Beachbody coach. I help people and work with people all across the country but sometimes people are looking for a coach in their own area. So if you are looking for Michigan Beachbody coach then you have come to the right place.  Our future plans include getting local fit clubs together so we can meet up and work out and would also like to get a nice core group of Michigan Beachbody coaches together so we can share ideas and provide support for this awesome Beachbody business.

Being a Michigan Beachbody coach has completely changed me physically and is now changing me financially.  P90X is the main tool for my physical transformation and following the “Game Plan” is the tool I have been using for my financial transformation.  With the Michigan economy being down in the dumps, becoming a Michigan Beachbody coach has been a great way to provide some supplemental income and this income is well on it’s way to a full time income.

If you are looking to make some changes both physically and financially then becoming a Beachbody coach is a great option for you.  I will help you pick a work out program and I will help you start you business.
