I'm not a coach, but I know someone who is and I feel like I am being pressured to becoming a coach... What are people's feelings about beachbody good or bad?

    They probably make money from enrolling you. I became an advocare distributor recently and one of the ways to make money is getting other people involved. It stinks!

    To be a coach you have to pay 15.95 a month. If you want to earn success club you have to pay 2.99 a week. To keep your rank and make bonuses you and all your coaches below you have to have a personal volume of 99 which means you have to spend $100 a month each. in order to go up in ranks you have to put coaches under you and coaches underneath them. so add all that up what do you get a pyramid scheme. roughly an estimate is that in order to be a coach you have to pay approximately $1,600 a year. I was a coach for six months. I joined because I thought I was helping out a hard-working single motivated young mother. I did not know what kind of BS I would get myself into. It really took all the fun out of working out to tell you the truth.

    They're workouts are fine if you are into those type of workouts.

    The rest is poo. Coaches are a joke.

    I really think that continuing to support an MLM only makes them more successful which will lead to ripping more and more people off everyday

    beachbody is a multi level marketing company . just like it works, isagenix, and all the other snake oil peddlers.

    They sell low quality , high cost products.

    One of my Facebook friends sends me a private text message. She doesn't normally text me.The way she did it was suspicious. She asked me how I was doing I told her i am fine. She says I know you are a fitness buff and i would like to add you to my page about nutrition and tips to stay healthy i didn't have a problem with that. Then she asked me if i drink protein shakes. I said occasionally i get them from my local health food store. Then she says have i ever heard of Isagenix. I told her yes I have but I am good though! I was totally not interested. Don't sell me on some overpriced garbage.

    That's pretty much how my situation went as well. There was a group that came across my Facebook page about walking, then next thing I know I'm being pestered about beachbody. I have tried shakeology, and yea it is good, but for the price and the headaches I'd have to go through, it's not worth it.
