SO MUCH GREAT NEW STUFF!!!!

I just got back from a trip to Los Angeles for the 2011 Beachbody Coach Summit. Wow! What a blast! I tell ya, this company blows me away. The CEO, Carl Daikeler, his business partner Jon Congdon and all their senior executives are up on the stage at the Platinum Ballroom in the J.W. Marriott in jeans and sneakers talking about all the incredible new programs and products coming out, and mingling with all the attendees – then the next night everyone’s dressed like they’re at the Oscars and congratulating the top coaches who are earning in excess of $1 MILLION annually in this business.

(By the way, “this business” has only been around for about 4 years.)

So here’s the rundown on all the goodies coming your way from Beachbody in the next few months:

TROPICAL SHAKEOLOGY

The new flavor was finally unveiled! It’s pink like a strawberry milkshake and has flavors of mango and pineapple. Delicious! A great alternative to the chocolate and greenberry. Look for it to be available around the beginning of 2012.

P90X APP FOR IPHONE

P90Xers have been clamoring for this! Very soon you’ll be able to download an app for your iPhone that lets you track your weights and reps, post to Facebook and Twitter and log your workouts. The premium version will include app versions of all 12 workouts, with demonstrations of each exercise, so you can take your P90X with you wherever you go.

TAI CHI DVD PROGRAM

Dr. Mark Cheng developed this program that benefits ALL fitness levels, from professional athletes to people with mobility issues. Look for it soon!

NEW CONTEST

Currently, Beachbody has a daily giveaway for people who log their workouts into WOWY (the online workout calendar) and you can win iPods, digital cameras or cash. Sweet, huh? Well, it’s changing. Starting Aug. 1, you can sign a commitment to your fitness program and be eligible to win the DAILY $500 giveaway; then there will be monthly and quarterly prizes for the most impressive body transformations, and the grand prize winners (one male, one female) in May 2012 will win $100,000 each!!! Signup is free so message me if you want to play.

P90X2

Yes! It’s really happening! By popular demand, Tony Horton returns with P90X2, an even bigger, badder, awesomer workout! You can watch a preview here – you won’t believe some of these moves!

E-mail me to get on the notification list for when it comes out in Fall 2011.

Ending the trend of obesity

An analyst for the health care industry estimated that if just 1 percent of Americans changed their health for the better and took themselves out of the “overweight” category, the financial impact on our nation’s economy would solve our health care crisis.

ONE PERCENT.

Think of 100 people in your life you care about: family, friends, neighbors, coworkers … How many of them could be healthier? How many would be HAPPIER if they were healthier? If you were to talk to just ONE of these people, tell them what you know about Beachbody’s fitness and nutrition programs, offer to be there for them and help them succeed – think of the impact you could have!

This is Beachbody’s corporate mission: “To help people achieve their goals and enjoy healthy, fulfilling lives.” Can YOUR workplace say that?

(Plus, how can you NOT love a company that names its corporate meeting rooms after famous movie “dudes?” Our tour started in the Ferris Bueller room at 9 a.m.)

If you want to be a part of this life-changing business, e-mail me. Coach Summit 2012 is going to be in Las Vegas! See you there!
