Please indulge me while I take a break from the usual workout / supplement / nutrition advice to share something really awesome with you all ….
2012 is in the books, and I was officially named the 2012 TOP COACH in all of Beachbody. For those of you who have been here for a while, you may remember that I was TOP COACH 2011 also, so yes, this makes it 2 years in a row! And there are 100,000 coaches, so I’d say that’s a pretty impressive accomplishment.
However, this is not about “congrats Wayne!” ….. that misses the point. This is about CONGRATS TO YOU!! I am only the top coach because of the special thing we have going here at teamRIPPED. Our dedication, our commitment, our refusal to accept anything less than the best, and our amazing results continue to set the standard. YOU have made teamRIPPED an unstoppable force that continues to inspire the world!
I started teamRIPPED in the fall of 2010 as a place where people could come who wanted Xtreme results — to learn tips and techniques to maximize their results, to connect with others like them for accountability and motivation, and to show the world what they were capable of. Now, 2 1/2 years later, we are over 10,000 members strong, and we boast nearly 20 winners of the Beachbody challenge just from our team.
On the Asylum infomercial, nearly half of the results shown are from our team! It’s literally insane how amazing our team has done.
I’d like to think I had something to do with it, but I’m not at your house. I’m not yelling at you to workout. I’m not kicking you out of the pantry when those snacks are calling your name. This is YOU! You guys and gals have made teamRIPPED the very best team in all of Beachbody. You guys and gals have the infomercial people checking our website every day to see who else they need to contact about upcoming infomercial spots.
And I’m so darn proud of all of you. I’m also humbled and grateful for the blood sweat and tears all of you have brought to the table to make us great.
The TOP COACH award may have been presented to me, but I accept it not just on my behalf, but as one of the teamRIPPED nation, of which we are ALL a part!
(me and Carl Diakeler in Dallas this weekend after I was recognized as TOP COACH 2012!)
Every June, Beachbody holds the annual Summit meeting. This past June, in Las Vegas, I was awarded the TOP COACH 2011 belt, and it was really pimped out! It had blinking lights, music (literally) of a “top coach” song performed on my behalf, and looks like something the heavyweight champ of the world would wear. I also got treated to dozens of people from my own team, dressed up like Elvis, singing and dancing for me on stage at the MGM grand. It was quite the spectacle.
If you want to see some pics and video footage of that Top Coach 2011 presentation, you can check it out HERE.
I can’t wait to see what the crazy folks at Beachbody come up with for this year. I’m sure it’ll be funny. I’m sure it will be wild. And I know it will be special because it reminds me of what an inspiration our team has become.
Keep bringing it! Don’t slow down! Don’t give up! We are part of something special and we must protect this house!!!!
Thank you all!
Wayne
