Beachbody Coach Summit 2014

FINALLY back home, settled and down to business after an AMAZING trip to Las Vegas for this year's annual Beachbody Coach Summit!

One thing that you'll hear from many top coaches and Beachbody corporate alike is that it doesn't matter how you get there, it doesn't matter where you stay, just GET TO SUMMIT!! With our move this year and Summit always being so close to my son's birthday and the cost that comes with that I just didn't think we were going to be able to swing it. We thought about skipping it, I told my hubby "it's not a big deal I can watch the videos at home its the same thing" but really inside I was dying to go, to be there LIVE in all the PASSION!! So we sat down looked at our expenses and did what we had to do to be there! We traded Shakeology for Summit tickets, bought another and shared room with our awesome new friends!! The first night we even stayed across the street at the Excalibur. Great hotel but SO far from all the action.

This year also in an effort to save on expenses my hubby and I decided that we would drive and make a fun little road trip out of it too and I'm so glad we did. It allowed for us to bond not only as a couple but as business partners too. I was able to share a little bit about what he could expect and by time we got there we were both lit up with a passion to learn and help others!!

Wednesday night was pretty much just a night to mingle with our teams, get in some sights and just relax before all of the madness hit. We walked the Strip for a while, after that 7 hour drive we needed to stretch our legs, and then we headed over to the MGM to register for Summit!! Beachbody surely knows how to give you the royal treatment!! Not only are you given exclusive check in lines but you are also recognized for all of your efforts through the year! This year I am a Diamond Coach, Success Club 5 All Star and Success Club 10 All Star! I know that may not mean too much to you now but it means that I am continuing to help others and that number grows consistently month after month!

 After registration we headed over to the Rainforest Cafe to have dinner with some of the members of the Dream Team. Many of us chat everyday on the computer but for most its the first time we've met face to face! Its so cool that we dont even skip a beat and it feels like we've known each other for years!! We even got to have dinner with my brother in law Angel who lives in Vegas and we don't get to see often! 

Thursday morning kicked off the festivities with our teams SHINE event. This was hosted my Lindsay Matway the #1 coach in 2013 and had a panel of many top coaches on my team including the current #1 coach, my personal upline coach and mentor Melanie Mitro. It was amazing to hear from so many leaders not only to learn new things but to hear that these are REAL people just like you and me. They have families, struggles, failures and successes but through it all they are able to successfully grow a business at home through helping others.

                 Thursday afternoon was our Opening Ceremonies where we were greeted with an amazing welcome from the top corporate leaders and several big announcements were made for new products that would be coming out over the course of the next couple months. Beachbody has really created some great new products including Chalene Johnson's new PiYo workout and the launch of the new 3 Day Refresh. They also announced a new Tony Horton program coming out later in the year called P90, this will be for anyone who's been thinking about starting P90X but needs a little transition before jumping in all the way.

We were rewarded on Thursday night with an exclusive Sequins and Studs party that was awarded only to those who had achieved Success Club 10 in their business for the months of April AND May. So if you know me you know that there was NO way I was missing that party! I worked my tail off to help as many people as I could to be able to attend that pool side party with my team and rub elbows with celebrity trainer Autumn Calabrese, creator of the 21 Day Fix!!



 
 

Another perk of earning Success Club 10 in my business consistently each and every month is that I got to be recognized on stage at the Friday morning session in front of 10,000 people AND sit in the VIP floor section for all general sessions with my husband!! I can tell you I get SUPER nervous presenting, talking in public or any thing remotely similar to that but walking that stage and seeing my name across the screen was so AWESOME!!! I was proud of all of my hard work and truly soaked up every second of that morning!

Friday night was another night to hang out with our team (and catch up on some rest lol, we were BUSY!!) So we headed out to Planet Hollywood and splurged on some burgers and fries at BurGR, Gordon Ramsey's restaurant. YES even Beachbody coaches can enjoy a good old fashioned burger and fries from time to time. And I'm not going to lie it was DELISH!!

Saturday morning started with a 6am Super Workout with all of the celebrity trainers!! We got to do some PiYo, Combat, P90X3, 21 Day Fix and T25 but the BEST part was that Chalene Johnson was running around the crowd of over 9000 coaches working out and I got to snag a picture!! This was SOOOOO COOL!!! Her programs are the very programs that turned my life around, helped me lose my baby weight and continue to challenge me to this very day!! Then it was back to class, learning from several leaders on how to be the best coach and mentor I can be. One thing I love about Beachbody is that they really stress learning. It so encouraging to hear the top coaches saying that they still attend seminars, read personal development and and constantly learning any way they can to be a better person and help OTHERS to be the best version of them. No one is trying to be cut throat and out do someone else. Everyone works together to help each other succeed!

And of course Beachbody can't end Summit with anything less than the BEST good bye! We attended the Beachbody Celebration where we saw two amazing people rewarded with $100,000 for their weight loss success, we heard MANY success stories that literally had me in tears for 30 minutes and watched the top 10 coaches be honored for their success. I left there feeling truly blessed to be apart of such an amazing company...I know I use that word amazing a lot but really there is no other way to describe a company that has developed a catalog of products to HELP people live the best versions of themselves. Their mission is not to create a world of hard bodies walking around with a six pack, but to simply END THE TREND of obesity. To help people add years to their lives, to be with their families and to live a healthy positive fulfilling life!!

So next year our Coach Summit is in Nashville and I would love nothing more than to have YOU, yes YOU reading this, be there with me! But the thing is...it's SOLD OUT!!! Don't worry!! Beachbody has a Success Starter program where they will get you started on the right foot to growing your business and give you a FREE TICKET!! Have you considered joining Team Beachbody?  Have you ever considered becoming a coach?  Join me and the Dream Team next year in Nashville for another celebration, training, and team building event that you will not want to miss!  We are currently the fasted growing team in the company and we have no desire to slow down!  My mission is to help as many of my coaches in my organization be successful as possible!  How will I do that?

By using a leadership program, continued face to face meetings, weekly team calls, new coach development, and mentoring plus personal growth to continually meet the ever changing needs of our team!

3 Day Refresh

You've probably heard a lot about the Shakeology cleans were a lot of people lose up 8 pounds or more in three short days but, that’s actually not what Shakeology was created for. I learned at Summit from Isabelle Daikeler, the co-creator of Shakeology, that by doing that you’re actually not getting enough calories, fiber and many other things your body needs to properly cleanse and lose weight. So I’d like to introduce you to the NEW 3 Day Refresh program!!
The 3-Day Refresh is designed for those looking for a fast, clean break-to drop a few pounds in a hurry or break some bad habits. The 3-Day Refresh consists of three daily shakes, a fiber drink, plenty of filtered water, plus a wide array of fruits, veggies, and healthy fats throughout the day to keep your energy and metabolism going.
Though the plan is simple, it offers many alternatives, including some creative ways to prepare your meals, so you'll see that you can actually enjoy eating healthy food without having to season it in ways that can damage your health and undermine your weight-loss goals.

What comes in my 3 Day Refresh?

This protein-rich formula helps curb hunger with more than 20 grams of wholesome plant-based protein, 22 essential vitamins and minerals, probiotics for digestive health, and a patented potato protein extract clinically tested to satisfy appetites.

Who should do the 3-Day Refresh? 

.

Users looking to lose a few pounds quickly and/or to look and feel better in just 3 days can use the 3-Day Refresh. The program is for those who have "fallen off the wagon" with their nutrition and want to get back on. It is for anyone wanting to kick start clean eating habits for the first time or just wanting to prepare for big event, milestone or trip and look his or her best. The program is also for people seeking to undo the "damage" of a recent binge. Overall, this product is for anyone wanting to lose weight quickly, to feel lighter, to feel cleaner and healthier, to improve digestion, to curb cravings for junk food, or to improve mental clarity.

How Should you Prepare for the Refresh?

Recommendations Pre-Refresh

For those who are not used to eating fresh fruits and vegetables daily, it's recommended that they begin incorporating these foods into their daily diet (for example, a green salad each day during the week prior) and phasing out things like coffee, alcohol and animal proteins. Many will find it helpful to clear the fridge and pantry of tempting foods, so that compliance with the program is easier.

Expectations During the Refresh

When steering the body back to optimal health, there will be bumps in the road; including changes in energy levels, mental clarity, complexion, cravings for food, bowel movements, and even body temperature. All of these are temporary, normal effects of the following a reduced-calorie meal plan.

Overall Health	The 3-Day Refresh is intended to give users a break from poor eating habits and/or kick start healthy ones. After completing this program, users may feel lighter and healthier overall.  Some may experience improved energy, mood and sleep as well. The program is intended to kickstart healthy nutrition habits which will lead to a healthier lifestyle and overall well-being.
Emotional	Users are not expected to experience any drastic differences in mood (highs or lows) however some individuals may experience irritability or crankiness given that the caloric load per day is lower than usual them. Any such shifts in mood are temporary and not long-lasting.
Hunger/Cravings	Users may experience hunger or craving for foods which are not part of the program during the 3 days, however, these symptoms are temporary. The 3-Day Refresh meal plans is rich in fiber and protein and offers frequent meal, beverage and snack occasions to guard against hunger. Vanilla Fresh shakes taken at lunch and dinner also contain a clinically-tested potato protein extract which helps to curb hunger and cravings.
Weight Gain/Loss	Weight loss amounts will vary by individual, but most users will experience a weight loss of 3 pounds on average.
Working Out	Following the program, users may exercise at whatever level they see fit. However, given the low-calorie meal plan, if a user wishes to exercise only mild to moderate exercise is recommended during the 3-Day Refresh program.
Body Aches	Some individuals may experience headaches or body aches during the program given that the caloric load per day is lower than usual. Any such incidences are temporary and not long-lasting.
Digestion	Improved regularity is a possible benefit of the program. However many users may not be accustomed to the higher levels of fiber in their diet, and this can lead to temporary gas, bloating or constipation. If users get a little gas or bloating, this is a sign that they need to up their fiber levels in general. Fiber promotes satiety, balances blood sugar, promotes cardiovascular health, and keeps the digestive tract functioning. If gas is an issue, there are "low gas-producing" options in the veggie list and dinner recipes in the menu guide.
Sleep	Improvement in the quality of sleep is a possible benefit of the program. Sleep irregularities may be experienced by some individuals, however as the body recalibrate, and moves itself into healthier, systemic functions. Due to the short time period (3 days) of this program, negative sleep pattern changes should not be drastic or long-lasting.

Expectations Post Refresh

Users can expect improved digestion, energy, and some weight-loss. This program is aimed to put users on the right path towards better overall health. Please refer to the "Maintaining your Results Post-Refresh" section of the Program Guide for additional tips.
