Why I QUIT Beachbody Coaching

A couple months ago, I decided to quit being a Beachbody coach. To be honest, it wasn't a very tough decision to make. And here's why...

1) I hadn't used Beachbody on Demand regularly since the fall of 2016, when the amount of homework was still light and manageable. As the semester progressed, the workload got heavier, and I lost time for fitness. I was also working quite a bit, and getting home at 5:20pm. Once I got home I still had to tackle all of the homework.

2) It was hard to consistently drink the Shakeology (that I was paying $100 per month for). It's been a couple of months since I got my last bag, and I still haven't opened it. I also have two unopened boxes and one opened box left. Some of the flavors just didn't work for me. I personally liked the Vegan Tropical Strawberry, but I didn't like the Vegan Chocolate at all. I ordered a bag of the Greenberry before I canceled my membership, and have yet to try it, so I hope it's good!

3) I didn't have any coaches or participants below me, so it wasn't working out for me financially. I was dropping over $115 each month, and not getting reimbursed for it. Being a college student, I didn't really have the money to keep throwing at this. I kept posting on social media in an attempt to get people to sign up under me, but none of my followers were interested and all of my personal friends were in the same financial situation.

Some day I may decide to return to Beachbody, but I'm going to work towards saving my money and putting it towards things that I actually need.
