Man people are haters. Beachbody is a business and a good one at that. They are helping so many people get in the best shapes of their lives and all people can do is talk about their MLM. In the fitness area, MLM is a great way to get the word out about your products. They didn't start out that way until they realized that the biggest thing that was helping them to grow was the satisfied customers that were telling everyone how Beachbody changed their lives. It is a great company and you get what you pay for. I heard a great analogy the other day. Beachbody is the Mac of the computer world. It is an all in one solution that you know will work

:huh: Regardless of how wealthy I may become one day, I would still refrain from buying anything overpriced.You are only talking about price though. I don't care about the price.
Here's a link: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=results+and+recovery+formula+reviews :flowerforyou:I appreciate the link I got before on Shakeology. Is there one for the RR formula? I was hoping there would be a thorough review for it somewhere (whether good or bad)0 -
The results and recovery drink is just fine. But you can just mix some whey protein with low fat milk (I use almond milk personally), or even just drink plain low fat chocolate milk for basically the exact same results.0

And here I was just about to quote your previous post to appreciate your honesty and ethics.
Then this. Every. Single. Time there is a thread asking for opinions on Shakeology, Herbalife or Body By Vi you damn salespeople treat anyone who doesn't like your marketing gimmick as a "hater".
If the thread asked for opinions on asparagus and someone said "I like broccolli better" would they be called a hater? No. You know why? Because no one is trying to use this site to SELL asparagus. But you damn well best believe there are people here who's only goal is to sell as many overpriced meal replacement drinks to as many suckers as they can find.
Well it's against MFP rules, so I have no problem saying that MLM's are scams and the products they pimp so hard are generally not that great. There's nothing magic about your little shakes. People can make them at home just as good for a fraction of the cost.
So OP, the next person who tells you how magic Beachbody supplements are, that they instantly clear up your skin, prevent cancer and should be sold at $300 a bottle they are so incredible (ALL claims I've seen made by Beachbody coaches on this very site) just remember. These are salespeople. They don't care about you. Their reviews of the products they sell are meaningless. They want your money. Period.0 -

You can't take the criticism personally. I know coaches who blatantly spam themselves. It can be quite annoying. I'm about to "defriend" some Facebook peeps because of it. I also know some coaches who never advertise themselves to the point where you would never even know they were a coach! I have one of those on my friends list and he knows I'm a fan of BB workouts and that I drink Shakeology sometimes, and he has NEVER tried to sell me anything. However, he does give me motivation and support. So does my BB coach. I appreciate that.
ETA: I'm a big fan of capitalism, the "American dream", and making $$$$. I can't blame Beachbody for wanting to maximize their profit and revenue by choosing to run their company the way that they do. We live in an age where information is at our fingertips. No one is forced to buy any of the products. And anyone can do research or ask questions as to whether or not a cetain product is something they should buy. Just my two cents...0 -

Haha...I wasn't try to sell Shakeology. I definitely understand how some people run away with trying to sell the products on here but not all of us do that. And actually, I do care about the people I help. That is the only reason I got into being a coach was to help others achieve what I have. I was just stating a fact that Beachbody is a good company. I am not trying to sell anyone on anyone of their products. The original post was about Beachbody so I was giving my opinion. Look, I definitely see your point and I know some of those coaches as well, but I didn't think I was trying to sell anything and if I did, I apologize. I am in this to help others not make people angry 0 -
Regarding results & recovery formula:
Many people after they work out will combine a scoop of vanilla whey protein shake mix with a serving of fruit punch gatorade to get the optimum post-workout intake of carbs and protein. R&R Formula is basically this exact blend (powdered gatorade and whey protein mix) prepackaged for you. Considering that you can get 3 months worth of whey protein shake mix for the price of a 30 day supply of R&R formula, I think the better solution is to just buy a tub of whey and a tub of powdered gatorade and blend your own.
BB's supplement line is mainly only used by people who are new to supplements or who haven't yet heard about all the main brands used by professional athletes. Professional athletes don't use Beachbody supplements, they use products by BSN, Optimum Nutrition, Universal, and Gaspari Nutrition.0 -
No. Plus, it's overpriced.I was just wondering if this product was superior to a regular protein shake in any way.
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/445106-is-shakeology-overpriced
Thanks for the link, but I was referring to the "Results and Recovery" formula. Do you have any input on that?
i have the results and recovery formula. i like it, but i use ONE scoop instead of the two. it's got a good amount of sugar in it, and i would ONLY use it after plyo or if i was really pushing myself with the lifting. when i did use it i would NOT get the jittery spaghetti feeling after a work out and i would feel better faster afterwards. but some people say the same results can be achieved drinking some chocolate milk......... i don't do milk so, i've never tried that.
it's a HUGE container. and if you do autoship you get one a month. you don't go through one a month!!!! so, i got it for a couple months and then canceled. i have it here for when i do p90x again.
i have also done TurboFire. years ago i did P90. ( like when VHS was still around, LOL!!!) i am going to order brazil butt lift at some point. i really like beachbody products! i think they are great, especially since they let you work out at home when you might not be able to afford to have the time for the gym. the thing is, like with everything else, you have TO PRESS PLAY!!!! they don't work just by owning them!!!! if you do them, and do them the way you're supposed to, you get results!!!
the only thing i DON"T like, is shakeology. it upset my stomach sooo badly. and not at first, but after about 3 months on it. it got really really ugly. so, shakeology is the ONLY thing i won't recommend. if you are looking for something similar though, body by vi is a great product!!
and i'm not a seller of either. i just happen to think they are great products.0 -

It's ok. It isn't really you. But if you go back to page 1 you see plenty of those "message me for more info" people who drive me up a wall.
Plus full disclosure I oppose pretty much every MLM business there is. Be it Beachbody, Amway or Cutco. I just think they're scams that take advantage of good people. Seen it happen too many times.0 -
Overall, I love many of the programs they have. I have personally completed BBL, P90X, TurboFire, and am currently doing P90X-2. That being said, some programs are better for some vs others. I love the weight lifting that Tony gives me, but am not much into the cardio like in BBL. But, it all depends on what you like. I also find that a lot of the supplements Beachbody pushes, you can find alternatives at cheaper prices. I have tried Shakeology and loved it, but the price was a bit high and I eat a pretty well rounded diet so I didn't need the shake as a meal replacement.
In the end, I recommend trying the programs...they will give you the push you need with a well rounded program. I can say they worked for me, but again, each to their own. 0 -

This is the problem I have with Shakeology. I only go through about half a bag a month. I ended up giving away my last two bags that were half done because it starts to go bad after five weeks or so. I wish it came in smaller containers. I should really take myself off auto delivery lol.0 -

I definitely agree with you and I am that same way too. I made an exception with Beachbody just because so many people kept asking me about how I got my results that I decided it would be good for me. I am not one of these crazy people that try to recruit everyone in the world. The biggest part I love about it is setting up groups and helping others achieve their goals. That is what it is all about for me. Again, I am sorry if I came across salesy. I just really like Beachbody because of what it has done for me. I know I could have done with other ways but I owe what I have to the programs 0 -
Lollercoaster at Beachbody supplements0

I want to reiterate that everyone who takes their fitness seriously should strongly research the science behind it, even if as a hobby. Once you do I think you will find that you can put together a program for your own needs that totally obsoletes any video you've ever done or ever bought.0

Maybe, but I think most people, including me, appreciate the ease of putting in a dvd and being able to follow along. To each their own really.0 -

the beachbody R and R drink really should last more than one month though... the container is HUGE and you don't need it after every single work out. of the "cardio" work outs the only one you would need it after is plyo. you do the lifting DVDs three days per week, usually, so, at most that's 3 days per week that you'd need ONE scoop ( not two) of the mix. it tastes REALLY good too! tony suggests putting a little in your water during plyo. it's an hour long DVD and probably not a horrible idea. but, i never tried it. i drank water a couple times during that work out and i ended up not feeling well. so, i stopped.
and yes, there are other ways to work out, maybe even better ways......, but for a lot of people having something put together, spelled out, for them, is the best and easiest way for THEM to get it done ;-) i know i like it because i can do it at home. i don't always have the TIME to drive 40 min there and back and then work out. i am a single parent to 5 kids! i like that after they are all in bed, i can press PLAY! :-)0 -

I agree...yes, those of us very into fitness could put together a program for our individual needs. That being said, many people can't, or don't feel like doing so. With so many people living such busy lives, at least they are putting in a video and getting their sweat on. Doesn't hurt and it's better than sitting on the couch and eating donuts...0 -

I have not set foot in a gym in over 4.5 years and the videos have been a life saver...kids are not easy to work around and at least my 2 can see Mommy working out and eating right...figure it helps me help them0 -
Hello! I currently am doing P90X and loving it. I'm on phase 2 but am already looking forward to what I can do next. I do love p90x because of the strength training but I love the cardio as well. I think I will do another round and then maybe insanity with some strength mixed in. Lots of hard work and it pays off.0
-
Did TurboJam back in 2006, loved it. Still toss it in all the time, but with hand weights.
Currently, I own P90X and P90X2 (which I am NOT ready for, at all). LOVE P90X.
Now, if only I 'pressed play' more frequently, I would be GOLDEN!0 -

OMG YES! I used to have to wake up at 3:45am to get to the gym by 4am because of my work schedule. I didn't want to go in the evenings because it would take time away from the family. Now my husband does Insanity with me and my four year old kind of jumps along with us
Eventually she gets bored with it and ends up cheering us on. It's very motiving! Awww....now I wish I was with her right now =( 0 -

I suppose, but I've always believed that:
Everyone who owns a car should know some basics like how to check their fluids and how to change a tire.
Everyone who owns a computer should know some basic troubleshooting, like how to reinstall/restore if you need to.
And everyone who chooses to take on a fitness oriented lifestyle owes it to themself to take some time to learn some of the how and the why behind what they're doing, if for no other reason than to make sure they're not doing it in a way that could cause more harm than good.
Everything you will ever do and everything you will ever have comes with a certain measure of accountability and responsibility, as well as the need to learn just a little bit more to add to your repertoire of knowledge. And (And I know that I will get flak for this) I truly do believe that people who try to reap the benefits while trying to avoid the responsibility of these things ARE less deserving. This is why I have issues with companies like Beachbody... They choose to target a specific demographic, this group of people who I don't feel are as deserving because they want the benefits without the responsibility.
I choose to hold people who choose to attain the knowledge that goes along to higher esteem. And every time I go on these boards and and read another post by someone whose only exposure to supplements have either BB's or Jillian Michaels' name on them, or someone whose only exposure to any semblence of a workout was sold to them by either Beachbody or Jillian, my heart breaks a little inside, because it's yet another person who chose to enter into a lifestyle that normally comes with a lot of responsibility by not conducting proper research. Your brain is a muscle too. Work it the same way you work your body. You'll be all that much better for it.0 -

I understand your comments and I think you are underestimating too many people. Just because someone does Beachbody videos doesn't mean they don't know anything about nutrition or working out. You have to understand the world we live in. A majority of America is obese and lazy so if any company can get someone to get off the couch and do something for their fitness I think it is a great thing! As people evolve in their fitness, then yes, it is a good idea to learn more, but most people just want to "lose" weight at first and I don't blame them. These programs make it easier for people to do that. Especially for the people like that single mother of 5 who I dont know how she has time to do anything haha.0 -

who said the people pressing play to these videos haven't done their research? I definitely have and I still think the programs are good for the majority of people. Most people are not on here to get competition ready...most need some motivation to workout and eat right...if that includes putting on a video so be it. I agree that the masses following a strict Jillian workout program/supplement may not be doing it the way you or I may do it, but at least they are putting forth some effort...America has an obesity problem and anything that helps us fight this disease is ok in my book. just a thought...0 -
Personally I have never used any of these products and probably never will.
I am able to do my own research and feed myself as well as figure out what I need to do at the gym to get results.
It takes 20 minutes of searching the internet to figure out what you need to do.
That being said, some people simply need the structure that these programs provide. I have a friend that has done P90X off and on for a few years now. He was able to do it because it gave his workouts structure something that his personality needed when doing something. Now he never bought their "value added" products but he does enjoy P90X.
Of course someone going from their couch to P90X is going to see results. They are going to see results from added a 20 minute walk.
Really depends on what type of person you are and weather you need that structure. Some people can create their own structure and others need to be put into a system. Whatever works for you.
In any case I would NEVER buy one of their "value added" products like protein powder or these meal replacement shakes.0 -
I think they're good "starter" programs for those who have no previous experience or knowledge of exercise. I've done both Insanity and P90X. HOWEVER....as other posters have mentioned, it's good to actually research, investigate, etc. the how to's and why's of exercise. I've learned, for example, that I don't have to spend 38-55 minutes doing extreme cardio, as in Insanity, in order to get results. I don't have to spend 55-60 minutes doing excessive isolation exercises, as in P90X, when I can do 4-5 compound lifts in 40 mins and get BETTER results. Knowledge is power and I always encourage people to read up on what they are planning to do to get in shape.0
