Featured Coach Success Story - Paul Cravey

Featured Success Story - Paul Cravey

Team Beachbody is all about people helping people. Our comprehensive programs make it easy to have no excuses for getting fit. They take the guesswork out of eating clean and living lean and they are versatile enough to fit into any lifestyle...even if you're on active duty in the U.S. Military!

Check out this success story from Star Diamond Coach, Paul Cravey:

My name is Paul Cravey. I am a Beachbody Star Diamond Coach and wanted to share my story with you...



I'm an Army Officer currently stationed on Oahu Hawaii. In January 2009, I did my first round of P90X. Then, after helping several more friends through the program and I became a Beachbody Coach in May of 2009 .

Though I dabbled, I didn't begin to actively Coach until September 2009, when I was deployed to Afghanistan. As commander of a Combat Advisor Team there, my time was very limited. But I made the time for my 3rd round of P90X with one of my troops who needed the support at 5:00AM everyday. Plus, I dedicated 30 minutes of my day to building my Beachbody business virtually, via Facebook, email and the message boards.

My upline Diamond Coach Mike Meads, as well as my upline Star Diamonds Mike & Tami French were extremely supportive of me throughout my 12-month deployment. I changed the lives of a number of people in Afghanistan - civilians, soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Canadian soldiers - with face to face workouts, plus I started of a Fit Club at FOB Walton near the volatile Kandahar City. (This Fit Club is still running today!)

Simultaneously, I built my business with coaches from my message board, Facebook and the Beachbody Customer Lead Program. I actually have more civilian coaches now than military ones. Within 12 months while deployed to Afghanistan, I went from zero active coaches to Diamond rank. Upon my return home to Oahu, I was one star diamond within 60 days and Team Inertia continues to grow as part of Team Hawaii.

I have two real keys to success:

It's not about me. I paid this fitness gift forward to anyone who wanted it. I enabled their success. Regardless of who they were and where they were located, I made their physical fitness and well being my priority. The signup of Coaches came from those who appreciated that gift and wanted to pay it forward themselves. I signed a few coaches who were about the money, but they're never as successful as those who follow the "fitness first" model. I do believe in Karma and if you make this business about your clients and not yourself, it will pay you back in spades.

Use all the knives in the drawer. I didn't have the option to interact and share the Beachbody opportunities face-to-face with people in everyday life. I was often gone for a week or two at a time with no computer contact. My upline supported me and I used every minute of social media I had to the max. I made videos of us doing P90X & Insanity and posted them to You Tube, Facebook and our Message Board. I ran a very active message board and I streamed my fitness experience.

Once I returned to Oahu it seemed easy compared to that. Now I've added monthly booths at fitness events, fit clubs and our own Team call with a 90 Days to Diamond Group just around the corner.

I went Diamond in less than 12 months while in Afghanistan on a combat tour. Then Star Diamond in 60 days. There are no excuses! i went from zero dollars per month to over $1,000 per month on average. Though I love leading soldiers and flying attack helicopters with all my heart, Beachbody will likely one day replace this career.

The potential is amazing. Even if it doesn't, it will by me a house on the North Shore of Oahu. This I know. In the meantime, I will use Beachbody to bring my troops to a higher level of fitness and durability over the next couple of years.

That's my story, and I'm stickin to it!

Featured Success Stories - Chris and Tekoa Garrett

At Team Beachbody, we're all about people helping people. Unlike the other shake, pill, and gizmo companies, we have the tools and the support to help people transform their lives so they can inspire others to do the same. Some of the most inspiring stories come from people who find the first layer of support right within their relationship.

Check out this amazing husband and wife Success Story from customers-turned-Coaches, Chris and Tekoa Garrett:



Hi,we are Chris and Tekoa Garrett and this is our Team Beachbody Success Story...



In October 2009, my wife, Tekoa and I were in the worst shape of our lives. We ate horribly, lived a sedentary lifestyle and we were overweight, tired and weak. We were embarrassed by how we looked and never felt good about ourselves, but we were too lazy to do anything about it.

In Summer 2010, some friends were posting their P90X journeys on Facebook and that got me wondering, "What the heck is P90X?!?" I found Beachbody through researching P90X, which seemed a little too intense for us, so we purchased Power 90 as an impulse buy - and it changed our lives.

As we worked through the Power 90 program, we were seeing great results and we both wanted to try Shakeology, so I signed up as a Coach for the discount...initially. As friends, family and coworkers saw how drastically we were transforming our lives, we began sharing Beachbody, Power 90 and Shakeology. Our passion for helping others achieve similar success was ignited and Tekoa signed up as a Coach - and we've never looked back!

Every day, our passion for Beachbody's products and for inspiring, motivating and helping others grows by leaps and bounds. We have progressed to P90X and continue to see amazing results. I've lost 62 lbs and am ripped like never before and Tekoa has lost 35 lbs!

The Coach opportunity is not about the money for us - it's about the ability to do something we enjoy and most of all, the chance to guide others to a healthy lifestyle and provide inspiration and motivation along the way. The money is just an added bonus!

Thanks to the guidance of my Coach, Wayne Wyatt and my upline Coach, Josh Spencer, Tekoa and I continue to move up in rank and build our Coach business. The support tools, training and information shared between our fellow Team Beachbody Coaches have made it easier to transform not just our bodies, but our lives...and to help others do the same!

Thank you to Carl and Team Beachbody for helping us find our true potential and for giving us this opportunity to share it with the world!

When Will They Learn? Piracy Doesn't Pay!

You'd think people would support an organization committed to helping people, rather than rip us off. Alas, the piracy continues. But the good news is, so does our commitment to enforce our rights and the rights of coaches who work so hard to end the trend of obesity by helping people succeed with our programs!


"Trevor! We found another one... Call legal!"

Yes, Beachbody just received another judgment of $80,000 plus attorneys’ fees against an individual in Louisiana who was selling counterfeit P90X. Add that to a recent judgment we were awarded for $35,000 and that makes over $115,000 against counterfeiters this month!

Oh, let's not forget about the $2.15 million judgment I told you about in November.

We are not messing around, because every dollar recovered goes to support the sustainability of this business and new product development so we can truly help as many people as possible.

Each month, our Legal and Anti-Piracy teams investigate hundreds of reports of counterfeiting of our products, from large-scale operations to the onesy-twosy "I only burned it for a friend" folks.

Beachbody simply will not rest when it comes to protecting its valuable products and their contribution to a business that needs resources to further its cause of ending the trend of obesity.

Huge credit to our entire Legal and Anti-Piracy Teams who are dedicated to tracking down and nailing the counterfeiters and pirates out there who think it's okay to steal these programs!

What is Team Marlee?

I don't make a habit of promoting one individual Coach's activities and events, but this is a special exception.

Marlee Matlin is many things. Oscar winning actress. Advocate. Humanitarian. Celebrity. Plus, she's also a wife and busy mother of four, trying to balance it all.

But did you know that Marlee is also a Team Beachbody Coach?

Well, she is - and what is exciting about that is; she totally gets it. She not only got great results with P90X and Shakeology, but she jumped in to be a coach because of how this opportunity virtually levels the playing field for everyone to build financial independence, regardless of whether a Coach is hearing impaired or not.

I can only imagine that within the hearing-impaired community, opportunities which offer upside that is only limited by how much time and effort you put into can be few and far-between. But Team Beachbody, with the ability to get great results (our programs have been close-captioned since day 1) and share those results to build a team -- all online - is unique. And the fact that this opportunity's time has come creates an amazing window of opportunity for anyone to get involved!

That's why she is looking for leaders to help her aggressively build her team...Team Marlee!

She is reaching out to people - especially the hearing impaired community - to encourage them to join her as she builds her Team and her Coach business. She's used our products and she has seen the results...and now she wants others to join her. It's truly people helping people.

I think it's inspiring for someone like Marlee who puts so much time and energy into charitable causes and her career to also use her notoriety and celebrity to encourage others to get healthy and fit, and to join her and Team Beachbody as we work together to End The Trend!

Success Story Of The Week: Wayne Wyatt

This is what some people mean when they say, "extreme"...

Meet this week's Success Story, Wayne Wyatt:

"My name is Wayne Wyatt and this is my Team Beachbody success story...


For over a decade, I had been struggling with my health and fitness to the point that I gave up hope and resigned myself to the fact that I was over-the-hill and destined to be heavy for the rest of my life. Each year I'd try to get in shape. I made the typical New Year's resolution that would fade out within a month or two. I tried all the other stuff out there.

In February of 2010, I decided to take the plunge with P90X. Little did I know that making this decision would forever transform my health, my fitness, my outlook, and my life! I dropped nearly 50 pounds, got totally RIPPED unlike any time in my life, and gained such a passion for my health and fitness that I couldn't help but tell others about it. I had finally found the REAL DEAL -- workouts/nutrition/supplements/convenience/a community of support -- and I realized this will work for EVERYONE!

I signed up as a Coach not to make money, but because I had such amazing success with Beachbody products that I wanted to help others do the same. And since I was telling everyone to use them, I might as well get a little commission for it! Well, it's turned into a lot more than that. Even though I have a very successful day job as an orthodontist, there is a huge appeal in the Team Beachbody business for me. I have the flexibility to do it when I want, from where I want, as much or as little as I want.

Thanks to my upline Coach, Josh Spencer, and the support and tools available, I'm now a Diamond rank Coach - after only 6 months! I don't plan on quitting my day job just yet, but I'd love to reduce my time in the office to 2 days per week while giving myself more time to focus on Team Beachbody coaching. It's truly a dream job! And with the income I'm making as a Coach, this is a very real possibility!

Who would guess an orthodontist, with 11 years of schooling and residency to get where I'm at, could seriously consider walking away from a health care profession (at least in part) to coach people through P90X and Insanity! Thank you, Team Beachbody!"

It Does NOT Pay To Steal P90X!

Proof again that it doesn’t pay to try to rip off Beachbody. Beachbody recently received a default judgment in excess of $2.1M ($2,150,000.00) against a counterfeiter. Several months ago, Beachbody began investigating a resident of New York, and learned that this individual had been dealing in counterfeit Beachbody products, selling more than 125 units of P90X. When we went after him, his lawyer foolishly told us to take a hike and asked us what we would really do.

Not being a company to allow its amazing products to be ripped off and then told to take a hike, we filed a complaint in the United States District Court seeking damages and injunctive relief. The judge noted the willful infringement and awarded Beachbody $2.15 million in damages to send a message (and even threw in an addition $5,600 for attorneys’ fees). We intend to enforce the judgment and send a message that Beachbody will not tolerate any theft of our intellectual property.

This is just one of literally hundreds of investigations and complaints that Beachbody undertakes each month as part of its anti-piracy efforts, and hopefully will convince other counterfeiters that Beachbody simply will not rest when it comes to protecting its valuable products. We want the entire piracy community to know that will do everything possible to prevent counterfeiting, and will continue to take action against those that deal in counterfeit Beachbody products. Huge credit to our entire Legal and Anti-Piracy Teams who are dedicated to tracking down and nailing the counterfeiters and pirates out there trying to steal all of our hard work!

Old Spice Stud Loves P90X®!

Take note young marketing professionals: Ground-breaking products that really work get PR without even trying. I continue to be shocked.

You’ve seen him in the shower, riding a horse, on a yacht and other exotic locales as the shirtless pitchman in the Emmy-nominated Old Spice body wash commercials. Guess how he got (and keeps) the body that has helped make him instantly recognizable?

P90X!

Isaiah Mustafa, the 36 year-old model, actor and former NFL wide receiver is everywhere lately - online, in print and on TV, including an appearance this week on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. One of the questions everyone asks him is how he keeps his body looking so great. Thankfully, he isn’t shy about sharing his secret!

“I’m fortunate enough to work out with Tony Horton of P90X fame and he keeps me ripped,” Isaiah replied to Jay Leno’s question about his ripped bod. Isaiah then spent a healthy chunk of his precious couch time outlining the P90X nutrition plan that helps deliver such buzz-worthy results, impressing both Jay Leno and Eva Mendes.

Though he trains in person with Tony Horton twice a week, Isaiah has been a devoted P90X-er for over three years, adhering to the nutrition plan and intense total body workout that has helped him transform his body and his career. In addition to his Old Spice gig, he just landed a role in the upcoming film “Horrible Bosses,” starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman.

Maybe it takes a bottle of body wash to smell like him, but if you want to look like Isaiah, you gotta BRING IT

Mr. Horton Goes To Washington

The gift of P90X keeps giving... This time it was in Washington D.C., where Tony Horton had the opportunity today to BRING IT to the National Press Club. He was invited to speak on the nation’s obesity epidemic and the physical fitness of our military forces in a style that only Tony has as viewers worldwide watched live on C-SPAN.

With Jon Congdon at his side to represent the company, Tony spoke about ending the trend of obesity, focusing on our country’s youth and applauded First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move Campaign, as well as the efforts of our military to incorporate a "Functional Fitness" approach. He took time to answer a few questions, before getting the members of the Washington National Press Club – all of whom were in full workout attire - to join Tony in a live P90X workout.

Watch Tony’s speech and his workout with the Press Club by clicking HERE or watch below.

P90X One-On-One

We've changed the name of “One on One with Tony Horton” to “P90X One on One” because the entire concept has been upgraded -- effective now!

We announced at Summit that Tony Horton was developing “P90neXt”, a whole new series of 12 P90X DVD’s created to keep the Muscle Confusion going after you master the original P90X. Tony is developing the programs with new experts, new moves and a whole new level of results. And for the first time ever, One-On-One subscribers get to try them first as Tony puts it all together.

When it’s all done, it will be called P90X: MC2™, but for now, it’s between you and Tony to work out the kinks, one-on-one style. And customers who subscribe to the entire twelve months will get a special offer and be first in line to get the official P90X: MC2™ program when it is released!

"That's my son, P90X"

I am hearing more and more things about how the fervor around P90X has become even more iconic than any of us could have imagined.

A prominent investment banker got in touch with me to tell me how big a fan he is of P90X, and that he knew we were doing something big when he saw a guy at his gym sporting an actual tattoo across his arm with the P90X logo! A permanent tattoo of our product, on his body! And since then, I've received a couple emails of customers who prove the premise... people are more committed to this program than ever!



Yesterday I read on Twitter about Donny Osmond saying ballroom dancing is harder than a P90X workout. And I also heard rumor that American Idol David Archuletta is now twittering about the program.

This week a customer contacted me through Facebook and told me that he and his wife are so pleased with the program and how Tony Horton presents the workouts that they are giving their soon-to-be-born son the middle name "Anthony" in honor of Mr. Horton himself. (I suggest they make his first name "P90X"... doubt he'll go for it.)

It's really unbelievable, and the new show about P90X should be out by the end of the year which demonstrates even more unbelievably how amazing this program is and how it has transformed what people think of home DVD workouts. I am grateful to every customer, to Tony, and to everyone at the company who never gave up to create the greatest fitness program ever put on DVD!

Shockers and Stunners

It's good to see the celebrity-visibility of our ground-breaking P90X continues to spread simply by the awesome spectacle of real results. Exercise and eating right, it works. You might say "Yeah but Demi and Ashton HAVE to workout and eat right. If my career depended on it, I'd be more consistent too!"

THAT'S why we created the Team Beachbody Coach Network and the Million Dollar Body Game. Your income can be positively affected by your health and fitness transformation, but you have to go for it.

I am proud of the Stunners featured in InTouch, and sorry for the Shocker. (Being underweight is as debilitating as being obese.)

Everybody deserves to be healthy, and everyone has the power to decide to take control of their situation. Team Beachbody coaches are helping people get access to solutions every single day. It's a pleasure to work beside people who get it and people who care.

Show and Tell

I got this great tidbit from Team Beachbody Coach Anne Dovel;

Rod Martin, another coach, (AZRANGER) was telling Anne about a "presentation" that he did for his 8 yr old daughter¹s class. He was lifting and showing electrical boxes and apparently her buddies were telling her that their daddies didn't have muscles like that.

Two days later, Rod had two more orders for P90X.

A Little Help From My Friends

I spent the week on Twitter and Facebook learning from my "friends" how we can use these social networks to promote health and build the Beachbody coach business. Though I see what all the buzz is about, I definitely see the pitfalls.

These sites are like a party. The last thing you want to do is walk into a party and yell “I am here to sell you products!” That type of behavior isn’t accepted at a party, and I doubt it’s any different online.

In the pursuit of expanding our coach network, prospecting makes sense to me. But I don't think “broadcasting” sales messages via the social networks of friends is the best approach.

We established the Beachbody Network so when you get healthy results you could profit when someone notices and asks “Wow, what are you doing?” That’s how you turn your hard work and behavior change into revenue. You become the proof that it works!

That model translates well to social media like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, where friends connect, share updates, and care about each other. What the health crisis in our country needs is people helping people. So the best action to leverage social media is to share what you are doing to inspire others, to celebrate the success of your team, and to pay attention to what people are saying.

When you have results to report or a photo to post during your transformation, NOTHING will get people’s attention faster than saying "Check out my 90 days photos -- Unbelievable!"And that facilitates a two-way conversation. Social media and networking is about starting a conversation. It’s a dialogue. It’s the first time in the history of marketing where businesses big or small must get back to the basics of listening. Listening is what separates the good friends from the not so good. As I read in Stephen Baker's recent article in Business Week, the value of information within these social media networks has dropped to zero. What is valuable, is attention; getting it and giving it.

That's how network marketing beats mass marketing every time; People get to know each other, and help each other achieve their goals.That makes you a good friend, not the Internet’s version of a door-to-door salesman. When a friend of yours gets results they’ll want to share it with their immediate sphere of influence. And your business continues to grow because you added value to the equation. You didn't take - you gave a service.

And that friend to friend service is the point of this whole thing. People have proposed to me that they could explode our business by getting actor Ashton Kutcher to become a coach and leverage his visibility talking about P90X on Twitter. As exciting as it is when celebs buy our products and talk about them, we aren’t looking to simply make more sales through their endorsement. We want this movement toward a healthy lifestyle to transcend a cult of personality, so it gets woven into the very fabric of our culture again.It's not about Ashton. It's not about me. It's not about Tony, Chalene, Debbie or Shaun T. It's about you. It's about your friends. I want YOU to be the star of this success story. We want you to help people you are the closest to. We want it to be on a personal, human level.

It’s not about spamming. It’s about sharing, listening, acknowledging and helping.

I believe that approach will make you a valuable friend in the web 2.0 world, and that’s the kind of service to others that will build your personal network in a meaningful way. I'll see you on Twitter and Facebook, and let's keep this party growing!

Happy Ten Year Anniversary Beachbody!

Ten years ago today, our very first customer, Hope Putnam, ordered Great Abs Guaranteed to launch what has now become the $400+MM a year leader in finding an end to the trend of obesity.

To celebrate the ten year milestone, we sent this crystal trophy to the employees, investors, friends, and parents who helped us get things off the ground, and got the entire company together to make the occasion with an official announcement this morning.

To add to the excitement, in this week's IMS report, the company which tracks the most aired infomercials of the week, Beachbody had three shows of the top five - a first in our history!

Yet it feels like we're just getting started. We've really just found our momentum, with the Beachbody network redefining healthy peer support, P90X redefining fitness, and Shakeology redefining nutrition.

The last ten years have been exceptionally exciting. But we have a lot of work to do to achieve our potential... Our best is still ahead of us!

Ashton Update

I have no confirmation that Ashton Kutcher is still using P90X. But some have commented to me that it looks like something is working on the set of Five Killers in France!

As seen on Zimbio.

Heads Up In Atlanta!

In Sunday night's baseball season opener I am going to be torn between two teams: My hometown Phillies and the Atlanta Braves.

On one hand I'll be cheering the World Champs on to another great season, but on the other hand, I will want to see Atlanta's Matt Diaz light the place up because now he and I have something in common.

Here's what I read in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today about Atlanta's fielder Matt Diaz who lost 30 pounds in the off season... Guess how:

Braves Q&A with Matt Diaz
Thursday, April 02, 2009

Do you want to know what Brave fell for an infomercial? Read on about Matt Diaz...

Q. How did you lose 30 pounds this offseason?

A. I hate to admit it, but I did an infomercial. … My wife ordered P90X. I saw her doing her leg workout, and it was similar to stuff I did in rehab. I thought that’d be a good way to ease my way back into weightlifting. After a week you realize there’s no easing into that workout.

Q. You watch videos as you work out?

A. They send you 12 videos with 12 different workouts and a diet plan. If you want it, it gives you recipes for every meal, six meals a day …. We moved our kids upstairs out of the nursery and changed the nursery into a P90X room. We got a pull-up bar and dumbbells. … I’d do a P90X workout with my wife in the morning, a baseball workout in the afternoon and go jogging with my wife in the evening while dinner was crock-potting.

Beachbody Coaches should love it when people say "I hate to admit it" about doing our videos. That just shows you how timely the decision is to become a distributor of our programs. Most people are still programmed to think that schlepping to the gym or paying a personal trainer is the only "respectable" way to get in shape.

But as we add success story after success story and star upon star to our customer list, the tipping point is approaching, and the $18 Billion gym business will shift as 200 million overweight Americans realize they can get fast results right at home with the support of a community that is focused on people helping people get real results!

Thanks for being a part of the solution! Let's end the trend now Atlanta!

The Rumors Were True

Any Beachbody complaints about not getting noticed by the media are distant history. And P90X is the best free publicist we could have hoped for.

Without spending a dime on endorsements or PR efforts, word continues to spread about the shift in health and fitness from gyms and trainers to our DVD programs, and it seems to be nearing a real tipping point.

First it was Chicago lead singer Jason Scheff who used P90X and the coaching opportunity to motivate himself to get back into shape. Then it was NFL kicker David Akers who's trainer suggested P90X to answer coach Andy Reid's command to get back into pro-bowl condition. Then People ran a story on Poppy Montgomery from Without A Trace. Then we got calls that Sheryl Crow has transformed her body with P90X, and went on and on about it on the red carpet of the Grammys. Then at the Pro Bowl, Baltimore Ravens' super star Ray Lewis told the media he uses P90X.

And then there was a rumor that a "Twitter Tweet" surfaced that Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were asking questions about this P90X thing they keep seeing on TV.

It looks like the rumors were true.
Look what just got posted by People Magazine...
