What is the Coaching Opportunity?


Curious??
 
What am I doing?

What is a “coach”

What is a challenge group?

How did you get started into this?

What are the perks of being a coach?

How BIG can this opportunity really get?
 



I've been getting some questions lately about this life changing coaching opportunity I stumbled upon and I would like to extend the invitation out to anyone else looking to see what this is all about.

Here's sort of how I began in this if you're curious: 

Last summer I was really into getting myself back into shape.  We felt like our family was complete and I really wanted to feel more comfortable in my own skin again.  My goal was to get rid of my “fat” clothes in my closet for GOOD.

I was really motivated to get back to me, and to be honest I really enjoyed some time for myself while out on my runs.  Sort of like my little escape to clear my head and enjoy some quiet.  I did try doing the gym thing but I always felt hugely guilty leaving my husband with our three kids at home for and hour, sometimes longer while escaping to the gym.  So at that point I was pretty active and enjoyed exercise but with all the running and working out I was doing, the scale wasn't moving. That was incredibly discouraging because of all the time and hard work I was putting into it.

One simple decision to try a something different has changed my life. I owe it all to Wendy - a friend that has now lost 50+ pounds from a program called the 21 Day Fix by Autumn Calabrese.  She invited me to join her challenge group and asked if I was interested in doing that program with her.  So then I started doing some research on YouTube and such on this program and Shakeology and was finding a LOT of positive reviews.   I also liked the idea that this programs workouts were only 30 minutes long and it's something that I could do at home.  A solution to the guilty feeling I had about leaving my family to take off and go to the gym, which I was feeling horrible about. 
 
So I took a chance.  Ordered it and hoped to goodness this wasn't just another quick weight loss program thing I just spent my money on.  My package came, and I worked away through the 21 days in a challenge group with other girls doing the same thing. My coach supported me, motivated me, helped me when I was down, and cheered me on when I needed it.  We shared recipes, tips, feelings, successes, set backs, everything.  Being a part of these challenge groups with others has lead me to lose 30 + pounds now since last summer. That program taught me how to eat and fuel my body properly.  AND it was fun to be a part of a supportive group of people for accountability.
 
 

I loved being part of a group of supportive people and I was having great results from the 21 Day Fix program that I soon had thoughts of wanting to pay it forward and help others through their weight loss journey as well. I signed up to be a coach and was soon starting my own challenge groups to motivate and inspire others. I didn't know exactly what I was getting into, I'm not a nutrition or fitness instructor. I didn't have a perfect body. I just had a desire to help people and show them these products DO work and you CAN feel so much better in your own skin. I didn't know how much time I wanted to devote to this but it was sort of a win-win because I was helping to keep not only others on track by myself as well by  leading by example.  By helping out just one person in the beginning has now led to helping more and more each month. Such a domino effect and it feels FANTASTIC to show people a healthy way of losing weight and get them feeling better about themselves! Especially my fellow busy mommy friends. Being a mommy we are constantly putting our kids first, and rightfully so! They are the loves of our lives. But when we can start our day off with just 30 min for us, we can be that much of a better mama for them and wife to our husbands when we're feeling great about ourselves. This coaching opportunity just felt RIGHT!    
 

Over the course of just 6 months my fellow coach Wendy and I have ran about 4 challenge groups, helped many other women regain their confidence, transform their bodies and learn how to eat clean! Each and everyday I get to open up my Facebook news feed and it's beautiful. Full of inspirational people and postitive coaches.  Stories of inspiring transformations each and every day, it is just so uplifting. THEN to hear your friends tell you about their successes, how great they feel, how much they're losing, how they get to go shopping now and feel great about it, how much more energy they have from shakeolgoy, how much more confident they feel, list goes on and on and on with the messages I get it makes me so excited to hear this! And it all started from helping just one other person! 


Like I said I didn't know what I was doing when I started. I was not a skinny fitness model. I was not a health food major. I'm not a fitness instructor. I'm just someone that loves these programs and wants to share and insipre others that they can do this too!!




I've just been learning as I've been going. There are people on this team that are doing this as a hobby, and for some this is their career. I went into this as a hobby, actually that's not completely true, I went into it for the discount off of shakeolgoy and other programs, no lie. But then I saw how other coaches were inspring and helping others, I wanted to do that too! There are coaches that are moms, nurses, teachers, fitness instructors, corporate business women and men and every other career in between! Together we are all committed to helping other people reach their goals.



Our team will open up their doors for 5 days in a group called Coaching at a Glance. If something in what I just said inspires you, message me and I can add you to the group to see if this would be a good fit for you.

We're looking for people who are self motivated, caring, independent and coachable. If that's you I would love for you to join our team!

There are limited spots open for this so that there aren't too many in this group and we can answer any questions you've got along the way.
