    I think I've asked this before, but what's the difference between the highly priced 'meal replacements' and fitness routines in Beachbody and some cheap, generic whey protein mixed with milk, and a decent routine taken from the web for free?

    Anyone?

    Bueller?

    Anyone?

    A multivitamin?

    Maybe these programs are good for people who need a push in the right direction; not everyone has the motivation at first to take things into their own hands, and although online research could provide the answers, with everything that's online its hard to know where to start!

    I just don't see why anyone would pay for something you can torrent ;)

    That is the challenge that crunchyroll.com faces.

    While a 3 day challenge is exactly what I need, why does it have to cost so dang much?

    A pyramid with many layers needs lots of butter.
    What are some other alternatives?

    The 3 day thing does zero - nada - zilch. You could replace it with anything. Or nothing.

    I USED to be a "coach"...I had No training, I was pushed SO hard to get people to buy the products. Then started having serious bowel issues. Turns out that the Shakeology causes IBS and can have nasty effects for people who have IBS. So I wouldn't trust the Refresh at ALL! The programs are fun. But you can download them pretty easily for free. I found out a lot of my "clients" were just donwloading them. You had to spend a lot of money every month, especially if you are Canadian, to keep your "coach" status. The whole thing wasa money making scheme. These people have no official fitness training, and after hearing from former coaches, a lot of them got "fired" when they decided to be come trained fitness professionals. The FB motivation pages can be awesome, but the competitive nature they inspire is a real turn off.
