What is the requirement to become a beachbody coach? It appears to me that you don't even have to complete a program or receive any training, yet these folks are everywhere giving training and diet advice... as well as touting the benefits of Shakeology. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I do love the P90X program and I'm already getting excellent results from it (33 days in). I'm a 51yo male in OK shape, and was assigned what appears to be a lady in her 60's (that doesn't look to be very fit) as a coach when I bought the program. In all honesty, that was kind of a turn off and I haven't visited the beachbody site since the first few days. The P90X forum just looked like a bunch of beachbody coaches communicating with folks in their groups. I didn't find much useful info there. That's a shame, because the program is so good.

    I'm not a coach, and wont be able to qualify for a coach because bb is a usa thing, and not currently available to in aust for coaching.

    but that being said, you should talk to your coach. If you don't have a coach, and would like one, let me know, and I can get you on to a couple of people who are coaches and can help you out.

    I'd just like to know what qualifies someone to be a coach. Do they receive any training and/or have to meet certain standards? I wouldn't be interested in getting advice from someone unless I know how they received their credentials. The P90X program is laid out very well. The only place I see a need for coaching is in checking form on some of the exercises.....and that should involve someone that really knows what they're doing.

    A few dollars.
