As we all know, In the personal training industry, there is only so much time that you have in the day to be in person with your clients. As a Personal Trainer, you can only see a certain amount of people in one day, which limits your client base.

You want to help people, and want to see your customer's weight-loss and health goals become a reality, but you may also want or need to make supplemental income. Why would you get a part-time job instead of building your own business in Health and Fitness? You get to stay in an industry that you love, and you can build your business and make as much as you want to!

Online Coaching with Team Beachbody does an incredible job of supplementing personal training in the gym in that it allows you to significantly increase your clientele base to customers all around the country. You are no longer limited to a certain amount of customers, or a certain amount of income. Since I have become a Coach, I have been consistently getting on average 5-10 new customers per week that are given to me from Beachbody. Each of these customers will always be my customer, and anytime they need anything, I will make a commission from it.

I can have these customers work out without cutting into my personal life. I can check in with them and speak to them when I have the time to. You will be able to speak with your customers and help them however you choose. There are no set rules to how you have to handle your customers. It is your business.. It is your time, and your way of doing things.

My goal is to help my customers make a lifestyle change. And since your customers have already called in from one of our infomercials, You are not "selling" them products, You are just "recommending" to them the best ways to reach their goals. They are already interested in the products!

Having the credential of being a Beachbody Coach and having the websites to refer gym members to immediately increases your credibility as someone in the fitness industry. For most personal trainers on our team, it's all about maximizing time, effectiveness, and efficiency as a trainer. Often having a fitness program at home gives your customer an easier way to make fitness a daily part of their life. Yes, You may have customers who are very determined and will make it to the gym every day, but there are also people who want to get into shape but just don't have a lot of time, or maybe feel uncomfortable working out at a gym, which can lead to them giving up on their goals. When you become a Coach, you are opening up your customer base to quite a few people who feel this way. They want to get there, but for whatever reason, it is just easier for them to do it in their home. There are no more excuses like not being able to make it to the gym.

You also now have the opportunity to become a P90X or Insanity Certified Trainer. This means that as a Coach, you can not only speak with and help customers from all over the U.S., you can also earn an income at your gym by teaching P90X or Insanity classes! Most people know of - or have known someone - that has used Beachbody fitness programs... Beachbody spends millions of dollars in advertising every year to ensure that we, as Coaches, have customers or people who are interested in learning more about these products, and most people want to try P90X or Insanity, and they can do so in your class, and get the program from you to do the rest of the week from home!

The products that we have to recommend to our clients have changed many people's lives and will continue to do so, Because they work. If they can't make it to the gym one or two days a week they always have their trainer right there in their home. The bonuses from selling Beachbody products far outweigh any kind of commission you could get from a gym for "recommending" their products. There are 12 different ways you can make an income as a Coach, and I don't know very many trainers who make seven figures per year (our highest paid Coach in 2012 made 1.6 million)! Beachbody is a way to branch out from your clients at the gym, a way to reach and help more people, and way for you, as a Personal Trainer and fitness professional, to expand your business.
