That's Me!

Hello everyone! My name is Jonathan Register, and my wife’s name is Jen Register. We are both Independent Team Beachbody Coaches. What that means is that we run a fun and exciting home based business where we help people get fit and healthy while we improve our health and fitness.

My wife and I are not fitness or nutritional experts. We are both normal people who just want to live long healthy lives and we want to help others do the same. We are also not employees of Beachbody, we are customers of Beachbody. We have had a huge amount of success using their fitness programs and nutritional products and we use them on a daily basis to get fit and healthy. Beachbody is a very successful fitness company that produces some of the most popular in-home fitness programs such as P90X, Insanity, Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, 10 Minute Trainer, TurboFire, etc. Their products work and we are so proud to be able to share them with our family and friends.

That's Jen! (she always looks so much better in pictures than me)

When you sign up as a Beachbody Coach, the top two benefits are that you get a 25% discount on all Beachbody products and that you get to run a home based business. The 25% discount is great and it saves us a ton of money. The whole Beachbody Coach concept came to life as a result of the huge success Beachbody customers were having with the fitness programs. They were getting such great results that their friends, family, and co-workers were asking them what they were doing to get in such great shape. They were telling them about the program they were doing and directing them to Beachbody. Beachbody decided to create the Coach program to help reward people for sharing their experience with the programs and nutritional products.

I signed up as a Beachbody Coach in January of 2010, and my wife signed up shortly thereafter. I signed up right when I started P90X, because I knew as I started doing the program I would be talking with my friends and family about my workouts. Doing that definitely paid off because I earned commissions in my first month just by casually talking with my friends and family. I found as I got further into the program that people started noticing my changes and they would ask me what I was doing to get fit. Also, when I initially signed up as a Coach I started part-time. About 5 months later I was able to go full-time as a Coach. My wife is a Coach part-time and works on it around her schedule.

Don’t let the title “Coach” scare you since you don’t have to be fitness buff or expert to be a Coach. As I mentioned before my wife and I are not fitness or nutritional experts. We just tell people about our experience and results with the programs and direct people to our website that Beachbody created for us (this is my website here). I put together a video a while back where I show my online back office that you get when you sign up as a Coach. I also talk about my earnings so far as a Coach when I was doing it part-time-

The Coach program is truly for anyone. Some people sign up just for the 25% discount, some sign up for the business, and some sign up for both the business and the discount. If you are just signing up for the business, than I still highly encourage you to get on a workout program and use the nutritional products. The people who are the most successful Coaches are the ones who become a “product of the product” and use them daily. As you start to see results from the programs, people will begin coming up to you to ask what you’re doing to get in shape.

I cannot count the number of times that someone has come up to me while I was wearing my P90X t-shirt and started talking with me about it. I just tell them about my results, and I talk about the programs, the Coaching opportunity, or both. I then simply hand them one of my business cards and and follow up with them in a few days. It really is as simple as that. You don’t have to go out and do the business. The business goes with you. Beachbody spends over $100 million+ a year on infomercials so you get to take advantage of the huge brand awareness. You’ll find that about 9 out of 10 people have heard of P90X or Insanity from a friend who has had awesome results from the programs or they have seen one of the infomercials on TV.

You should sign up as Coach at the very least as a commitment to yourself to get into shape with the Beachbody programs. There are so, so many people that fail at going to the gym. The reason being is that most people don’t have the knowledge or experience necessary to create a fitness program that they can do and continue to do and see results. That is exactly why my wife and I started P90X. Beachbody is a complete solution to fitness, nutrition, and health. The programs take all of the guess work out of what we should eat, what exercises we should do, what our workout schedule should be, etc. What if you don’t make a single dime as a Beachbody Coach, but you got into awesome shape? Wouldn’t it still be worth it? I definitely think so!  The very worst thing that could happen to you is that you simply save money on the products you buy to improve your health and fitness.

Ok, so you’re probably now wondering how do you get paid as a Coach? You get a 25% commission when people buy products from you, and you will also earn bonuses when Coaches you sponsor buy or sell products. The Beachbody Compensation Plan is somewhat confusing, but it is really as simple as that. Once you sign up as a Coach I’ll teach you how to maximize your earnings.

Benefits of Joining My Team of Coaches

• Access to me on a daily basis (I’m a full-time Coach).
• Assistance with the workout programs and nutritional products.
• Weekly training webinars on ways to grow your business.
• Newsletter to keep you updated on new products, training, etc.
• Access to exclusive forum where Coaches share information.
• I’ll teach you what has worked for me and what hasn’t.
• I’ll help you build your downline which will put more money in your pocket.

How Much Does it Cost?

• $39.95- Your sign up fee (one time cost). You will get a Coach Starter Kit, access to your Coach Online Back Office, 2 personal websites, etc.
• $14.95- Paid every 5 weeks (the initial $39.95 covers the first 5 weeks). This covers the expenses to maintain your 2 websites, the Online Back Office, customer service, shipping, inventory, etc.

It is also very important to maintain an active status as a Coach. This can be done very easily by either selling or buying about $50 worth of product every month. It’s pretty cool that you can consume your business expenses on yourself and grow a nice business from it. This is an investment in your health and your business. Beachbody has some amazing products that my wife and I use daily to help improve our fitness and health. They have many products available on the Home Direct plan where you get free shipping and it is mailed to you every month. We have the Shakeology and the P90X Recovery drink sent to us every month. I highly recommend that you sign up for Shakeology on Home Direct as you’ll find this to be one of the easiest nutritional products to get people started on.

I am no athlete.  Let’s just get that out in the open right now.  I ran track in the 7^th grade, but that’s just because it was the only sport you didn’t have to try out for.  After coming in dead last in every race, I gave up on my career as a runner.  I took an Irish Dance class and competed for about 6 years, starting when I was 29. I enjoyed it a great deal, but it was hard on my joints.  I’m getting old.   I gave it up a few years ago, and I’ve been putting on the pounds slowly ever since.

I’ve always wanted to be fit, but have never made it a priority.  Actually, let me take that back.  It’s not that I necessarily wanted to be fit – it’s that I don’t want to look like a middle-aged mom with a muffin top.  Vain?  Yes, I know.  But – I am tired of looking in the mirror and being disgusted with myself.   I’m not huge,  I realize that.  I’m just squishy and bigger than I’d like to be.

I wanted to let everyone know that I got an email from Team Beachbody letting me know that they’ve got a new awesome deal going on. When you buy the P90X workout from a great Coach like myself :-) , you will get 2 free workout DVD’s! These DVD’s are from P90X One on One. You will be getting the Fountain of Youth DVD, perfect for when you don’t have enough time to do Yoga X, and you will be getting Mammoth UML (an upper, middle and lower workout), which is great if you are on the road away from your home. This is a $40 value that is free just for ordering from a Coach.

Just in case you don’t know anything about P90X, it’s a 90 days fitness program that will get you into the best shape of your life! It whopped me into shape! I lost 11 pounds, lost 2 inches in my waist and I went from 14.50% body fat to about 10% body fat. If I can do it, then you definitely can too!

So if you’ve been on the fence about ordering P90X, or just haven’t ordered it yet, take a second and go ahead and purchase it now. If you commit to the 90 days and your bring it, then you will succeed!

I hope you had an awesome weekend! I wanted to make a quick post to commit to this week’s workouts by telling the world my P90X workout schedule for this week. I finished my second round of P90X a little over two weeks ago, and I plan on doing a P90X Insanity hybrid next. These past few weeks have been absolutely crazy, so I haven’t been able to commit to starting the hybrid yet (probably won’t be awhile before I will be able to start). During the past few weeks, I’ve basically been doing an assortment of P90X & Insanity workouts. There have honestly been days though where I haven’t worked out at all, so I’m really anxious to start the hybrid so I will have a set program to follow daily.

Here is this week’s schedule of workouts that I’m going to do-

I’ve gotten some questions on how to use the P90X excel spreadsheet so I decided I’d make a video to show everyone the basics of getting it setup. I don’t personally use this spreadsheet, but a lot of people do and they love using it to help keep them on the right path and to track their progress with the P90X workout. Check out the video below, and then make sure to sign up for a free Beachbody account if you haven’t done so already to have me as your personal success coach!

Phewww! It’s been a crazy week so far, but I’m happy to announce that I officially finished round 2 of the P90X workout last Saturday! So I guess that means I now have my masters in P90X!?! :-) This round seemed like it flew by even faster than the first round! It feels great to finish and I’m extremely excited to start the P90X Insanity Hybrid that I put together.

After this round of P90X, I’m definitely in even better shape now than what I was after my first round. My reps for the most part have increased overall during the exercises, and I continually pushed myself to use heavier weight. During the first round of P90X I think I may have focused a little too hard on increasing my reps, which caused me to develop bad habits. During this round my wife (Jen) helped me discover that I had pretty bad form during the pull up exercises. I had developed a bad habit of not going all the way down during my pull ups so I could go back up faster and do more reps. I didn’t even realize I was doing this, but Jen pointed it out to me during one of the Back workouts.
