Our Beachbody Coach Review
We’re a mother-daughter team that started coaching in 2011.
At that time, we had just lost our home to foreclosure, and we were stressed and felt stuck.
It was after talking to a few friends, that we realized we could help others through what we knew about healthy living.
We researched and found out our favorite workouts also offered an income community – Enter Beachbody Coaching!
Since then, we’ve:
- quit our jobs teaching high school math
- paid off 54k of debt in just 12 months
- earned the titles: Success Club Legend, Elite, and 5 Star Diamond
- traveled 3x a year+ since 2012
- helped over 4100+ people get healthier!
Beachbody coaching allowed us to make new friends, feel fulfilled, and stay accountable to our own health and fitness goals.
We’ve also met the CEO of the company, top trainers, and earned several trips with Beachbody.

How Can You Actually Do This?
Beachbody coaching is not one size fits all. We can help you strategize a game plan to help you hit your specific goals and lifestyle.
I started coaching in college because of the flexible hours and freedom to grow an income.
My mom started in her 40’s, and we have successful mom’s, teacher’s, nurses, and more all on our team.

Beachbody Coaching Q&A
Do I have to be in shape?
As a coach, you don’t have to be ripped or even at your goal weight.
Some of our top coaches are just starting their journey to healthy living. They added the title of coach for extra accountability! People really relate to their story and progress.
You also do not need to be certified in anything to coach.
You aren’t creating a meal plan or workout for someone – Beachbody already has had the top nutritionists and trainers do that.
A coach just helps someone actually USE those tools versus letting a program sit on a self.
Do I have to sell to my friends? I’m not a salesman!
I must say: we are not big salespeople. We are both shy and live in a small town.
Most of our clients and team come from online groups and connections.
We never push selling, but you will be talking to people and offering them both free and premium opportunities as coach.

Why Be a Beachbody Coach Versus a Personal Trainer?
We chose to coach because we loved the products.
We had looked at being a trainer as well, but then your working odd hours and limited to a number of people you can train.
If you decided to open up another business like a gym, you’re looking at crazy start-up prices too.
Here is just a rough estimate of the income you can make in a traditional fitness field.
We are able to make more money, help more people and have flexible hours as coaching. Plus the overhead is much less!
How do I find my first clients and coaches?
We walk you through step-by-step how we grew our business.
If you decide to join our team of coaches we provide you with a daily email lesson or a Coach Basics Bootcamp to help you get started.
We provide examples, how-to videos, and everything you need to be successful.
I honestly know if two shy girls can do it, anyone can! Plus we will be there to help support you if you decide it’s a good fit.
What if I become a Beachbody coach and don’t like it?
It’s super easy to cancel, and we’ll still be your coaches for any health or fitness questions you have. It’s also free to cancel.
Things to Remember:
- This is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme.
- You don’t have to be at your goal weight to be successful.
- In just an hour a day, you can start your coaching business.
- Since we teach you how to use Internet marketing, so your clients aren’t just friends or family.
- You also don’t have to be an expert! Beachbody is the expert – and you’re the real person cheering someone on!

What People are Saying About Us & Our Team, Sweat Nation
Before working with Kim and Kalee, I felt guarded sharing my fitness journey and doubted my abilities as a coach. They have offered so many amazing training opportunities which have helped me step out of my comfort zone and build my confidence as a leader. Now, I’m a stronger coach not only for me but for my girls and Fit Fam! – Jill Carothers
Several coaches reached out to me wanting to sponsor me as a coach but so many of them felt fake and I just did not feel the connection. Kim and Kalee truly wanted success for me and listened to my goals. They were right with me every step of the way. 5 years later, I run my own online business full-time helping others achieve health and success. – Judy Malone
I first found Beachbody in 2007, when I purchased my first ever infomercial product – Turbo Jam. A few years later, I found Sweat Nation (Kim & Kalee). They were so responsive and provided so much helpful content. Later, I found a post about coaching. It was everything I had been looking for, but I wasn’t an after photo, I didn’t have six pack abs or look amazing in a bikini. It turns out all that stuff is ok, bringing people along on your journey and helping them through theirs is what it’s all about. When I finally got the courage to sign up as a coach, I got all of the support and guidance from Kim and Kalee that I’d become so accustomed to. It has been an amazing experience, and I’m so happy to be helping others find their soulmate workout, their best nutrition and their happiest life. Coaching has also helped me focus, and be accountable which is also awesome. — Angela Bates

I am part of this team. I love how they support me and give me new ideas. Their great example is what made me think I could be successful in this business! Thanks, Kalee and Kim.
What is the Challange Pack for being a coach?
I testify that team beachbody coaching is great. By the way, I’m Laura and my experience on was that after I had my second daughter I was frustrated and depressed about the way my body looked and felt.
I couldn’t get back to where I was. I started to look for a way to get in shape and shed those unwanted pounds from pregnancy but going to the gym was not in the budget at the time. I began my fitness journey just 3 years ago. On July 4, 2010 I began a weight loss Challenge which changed my life. I felt great.
My faves are beachbody challenge piyo, 21 day extreme meal plan, 3 day refresh meal plan and 3 day shakeology + cleanse.
Has anyone done Shaun Ts T25?
I have T25 and I LOVE it. Shaun rocks and it isn’t a bad workout. I am 52 years old and have cervical osteoarthritis so some of the moves I cannot do. But, otherwise, 1/3 of the way through, I’m sweating and feeling great.
What if I have a membership to BOD already- if I sign up to be a coach will I be paying for another BOD membership or can I upgrade to coach status?
I’ll message you too, but you’d be able to sign up with any of the challenge pack options. Then, we’d cancel your customer BOD, and they’d give you a pro-rated refund for it :)
Hello! I’m confused about the BOD access for coaches – is it included in the monthly coaching fee or is it purchased in addition to that fee? I’ve had BOD for a while but really started using is a lot this past year and was considering becoming a coach but am still on the fence. Also, do coaches automatically get early VIP access to new programs like the Morning Meltdown 100 or just with a discounted purchase?
Hey Elissa!! All great questions! The Beachbody Coaching Fee covers your websites, online office and customer service. The websites allow people to order from you at any point and never have inventory on hand. The online office has training, marketing tools, Challenge Group guides, and so much more.
Beachbody on Demand is separate. So you’d have to get BOD too if you wanted it. The VIP access is also an add-on, but you do get 25% off. Our team does a VIP Group each time a big product like Morning Meltdown 100 comes out…which helps coaches add their friends and family and pay for their own out of what they make. Does that help?
Do you have any other questions on coaching? We actually have a live Q&A Tuesday at 7PM CST on Facebook about coaching. If you’d like to join us, I can send you the link, or I’m happy to reply by email as well!
Hi, 2 questions:
1) why do you need our SIN?
2) so, as coaches, we basically are finding clients, selling Beachbody products tothem, recruit more coaches and get a % of our sale?
I just want to have clear expectations.
Regards,
Hi Moj,
Both are great questions! The reason Beachbody asks for your SIN is for taxes. This is kept private, and it’s only used by Beachbody for that reason.
Beachbody coaches are typically people that fall in love with the workouts and products, and then they help others find the best workout/supplement for their goals and lifestyle. Then, we help them get results. You may 25% commission on any orders placed by your clients or through your website. You also have the option to grow a team (which is where recruiting coaches comes in) like we have. If your team is successful, you’ll also make a weekly bonus from that. Does that make sense?
Talk soon!
