The official beachbody sucks thread

I love how some beachbody coaches rage against capitalism and the horrors of food and drug companies while selling shakes. It makes perfect sense, ya know?

I have loved every beachbody program that I've done, but I haven't given a penny to the company. Hooray for pirate bay.

Same here. I've done Insanity and Brazil Butt Lift.

I totally agree with not giving them your money and I don't buy silly shakes, i dont follow the nutritional guide and dont care about winning a t shirt. However what is wrong with a program that is getting people up and moving and they can do it in the comfort of their own home?

I wasn't getting my money's worth out of the gym....i can do my DVD in the morning before work..I find shawn t mildly annoying but I like the moves....I sweat my *kitten* off and I am stronger and slimmer then I have been in awhile. I got the DVD for 10 dollars used and have been more then happy.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a hater thread; hell they are all over the place on this site. To each their own, right?

I'll admit, I've contemplated on this whole Beachbody thing since a friend is a "coach" but I really don't see the value? I mean I guess anyone can be a "coach" especially if you are pushy with the sales. My "coach" doesn't push anything, just answers my questions. He posts every minute of every day in his private FB group to "get after it" and welcoming new members. Everyone seems to post food pics, workout pics and well the same kind of jibberish we all do on here. He's passionate about it and if he can get new members in and encourage them, then what's wrong with that?

I do agree with the OP that the cost of the videos and Shakeology are way too expensive. I have been looking into Ultimate Reset but cannot bring myself to pay that much money. I am pretty old-fashioned; I believe diet/nutrition and a decent exercise program you can create all on your own works. I have seen so many success stories on here following this same old-fashioned anthem without having to fall in to gimmicks and overpriced fixes.

I'll take 30 Day Shred for 7.00 any day of the week! lol

Ok, has no one else noticed that the OP has an 'online fitness coaching business' and Jules is his girlfriend, trying to help him get business on here by starting a BB bashing thread?

Girlfriend? You mean wife, right?

But who is Jules? (I mean, I found her on his FL after your post, but what's her significance to your post? I'd never heard of her.)

You can do Beachbody/p90x consistently for 90 days and see some results.

You can also train consistently for 90 days with proper diet for 90 days.

The difference? The latter is free and yield greater result.

She posted on page 1, a few posts down from the OP, bashing the BB program and saying her guy's plan worked better. I saw she was his wife and partner in their business after I checked out her profile. Jules was the profile name.

I mean if you want to advertise your online coaching business, go ahead, but don't start a thread bashing another product to do it.

BTW, I have no interest in BB stuff either. To each their own. Do what works for you.

OMG Scandal!
Wait til the Coaches show up. Shts about to pop off!

This thread is sure to bring a wide range of emotion

Ah. Duh. Yeah, I missed her on page one.

Dang it. I was all in favor of this thread (or at least the general idea behind it...but probably for petty vindictive reasons since my first strike ever on MFP was for a post I made on a BBV thread), but this little revelation takes a lot of the fun out of it.

Yup. Both of their profile pages are full of advertisements and promotions about the OP's online training biz which would be in competition with BB.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I love the BB programs I have played with, but I highly doubt that Shakeology is half as nutritious as my morning smoothie, or my post workout shake...
