Coach W Checking In!!

Hey teamRIPPED!! Another month … another WINNER from teamRIPPED in the Beachbody Challenge!!!  Actually, this month there were TWO winners from teamRIPPED!!.  That brings our total to 12 winners of the Beachbody Challenge in the 10 months of the contest.  We continue to CRUSH...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! Wow.  I posted a rather benign article on PROTEIN yesterday, and who would have known that by the end of the day we’d have a comment thread of over 100 comments that reads like reality TV, complete with people pretending to be other people, accusing me of steroids,...

Coach W Checking In!!

Hey teamRIPPED! Boy, the X2 Crew results are quite impressive, aren’t they?  I can blog and give advice all day long, but it’s real people with real stories of their success that truly inspire me.  That’s the whole package — someone who has made a commitment,...

Coach W Checking In!!

Hey teamRIPPED! I interrupt the barrage of incredible P90X2 Hall of Fame results to give you some weekly check in news :-) 1) The past week I got to spend some time at the Beachbody Headquarters in Santa Monica, meeting with Carl Diakeler and all the top dogs of the company that has...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! Guess what!?!  We have yet ANOTHER winner of the Beachbody Challenge from the teamRIPPED ranks!  That makes an even 10 winners from our team, in the 10 months that the BB challenge has been out.  INSANE!!  This month, it was Chris Garrett, who had an amazing...

Coach W Checking In!!

Hey teamRIPPED!! How is everyone doing this week? I hope you all had a very blessed Easter!  HE IS RISEN! I also hope you resisted all the jelly beans, reeses eggs, etc.  It’s been tough at my house.  We had a birthday party for my son on April 4th, another one for my daughter...

The “Excuse Zone&...

As you have all noticed, I spent the past couple weeks doing a lot of updating to the website.  teamRIPPED has been exploding for the past 2 years, and as I’ve added things here and there to the website, it’s been hard for people to find the key things to help them get...

Representing!

Kyle C. is looking good these days!  He’s not to his goal, but those abs are starting to show.  Just a few months ago, no one would have ever guessed Kyle could come this far.  He has showed a dedication and commitment that not only let him transform his body, but he also won...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! The weather has been so amazing here lately that I’ve been able to enjoy a lot of outdoor time with the family, going on bike rides, walks, trips to the park, etc.  And it’s also served as a reminder to me that there are MANY outdoor events coming up, not only...

Coach’s Spring Cl...

Hey teamRIPPED! It’s Spring cleaning time, so you’ll notice that over the next several days I’ll be changing some things on the website.  I want to make the most important info easy to find and just a click away, so I’m re-organizing a lot of the menu buttons and...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! It’s SPRING BREAK week for my kiddos!  Yeah!  I love the mini-breaks from the routine — especially the homework, studying, drill sergeant, prodding routine that seems to be the life of a father of 5 during school LOL! I’m also only working 2 days this...

Coach W Checking In!!

Hey teamRIPPED! Spring is fast approaching, along with Spring Break for all the young folks out there (yes I’m jealous LOL!).  It’s also the time of year when everyone around you all of a sudden starts to feel the pressure of impending warmer weather and a need to lose the...

Beyond My Control

*Quick heads up before I begin today’s article.  The Bowflex Selecttech dumbbells are on sale again!  $279 for a set of 552′s with the stand included and free shipping.  Just put in code “SPRING552″ at checkout and the stand will be added and the discount...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! Yesterday was the best day of the entire year, as I’m sure you all noticed, right?  Yes, it was my wife’s birthday :-).  Happy birthday sweetie! You are awesome! Now down to the business at hand …. I hope everyone is having a great week!  I’ve...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! Another week in the books!  Is everyone still rocking it?  The challenge groups are really fun to watch — people are fired up, bringing it at levels I never could have imagined, and the results keep pouring in of people who have totally transformed their health and...

Momentum

I’m not a big New York Giants fan, although I think Eli Manning is a total class act and I can’t help but root for him. It is ironic that as we look back at the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants, we have to remember that just weeks earlier, they were a mediocre team who had...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! I hope y’all are having a great week.  I am!  I got my mass shipment of Tropical Shakeology this weekend and posted a full review for you to check out!  It’s a great new addition to the Shakeology line-up, although it didn’t knock Chocolate off my...

Coach W Checking In!

Happy Valentine’s Day teamRIPPED!! How is everyone?  I hope everyone plans on having a great Valentine’s Day, that does NOT include eating a bunch of fattening little filled chocolates :-). I’m hitting my stride in the Strength Phase of P90X2, and it’s AWESOME! ...

What’s Your Xcuse...

Meet Estevan.  He made me his coach in September, and we started talking about workouts, fitness, and nutrition.  He started a P90X / Insanity hybrid.  We talked about how to get the most out of the workouts.  He asked good questions about how to dial in his nutrition.  Basically,...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!!! Another week closer to spring and summer …. are y’all going to be in the best shape of your lives?  I know for a fact I will!  I’ve been dialed in on my “flexitarian” diet, tracking all my numbers every day to be sure I don’t go over...

Coach W Checking In!

I interrupt this week of amazing Misfit Success Stories to bring y’all a few updates …… Did you know that Beachbody is now offering the P90X2 Equipment for sale individually?  I have the links on my site, so if you are interested in getting upgraded equipment or extras...

The 4 Pillars

mis·fit  (msft, ms-ft) n. 1. Something of the wrong size or shape for its purpose. 2. One who is unable to adjust to one’s environment or circumstances or is considered to be disturbingly different from others. Y’all have heard my updates of our teamRIPPED Misfit...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!!! I got the chance to talk on the Beachbody National Coach Call this week, which was a real treat.  It’s really designed for other coaches to listen to, but I got a chance to talk about my story of how and why I got into Beachbody, P90X, Coaching, and what...

TOP COACH Checking In!!...

Hey teamRIPPED!!  How was everyone’s week?  Boy, mine was pretty special!  That’s why instead of my usual “Coach Wayne Checking In!” I’m calling this “TOP COACH Checking In!!” LOL. I don’t want to bore everyone by just talking about...

WHY???

Why are you working out? Why are you here on teamRIPPED reading this? Why are you pushing play? Why are you studying P90X, Insanity, Pump, and watching YouTube videos to decide if you even WANT to push play? You can do all the research and planning you want, but if you haven’t asked...

Coach Wayne Checking In...

Happy New Year teamRIPPED!  I hope everyone survived the holidays without the “Holiday Hangover” of letting their diets go.  Whether you were a slacker or stayed strong, it’s now 2012 and we are all back in focus on reaching our goals.   No more excuses about...

X2 Crew Shirts!!!

I am very pleased to offer, for a limited time, the official P90X2 “X2 Crew” — Built for Performance shirts that we designed for our P90X2 Challenge.  Even if you aren’t doing the challenge yourself, you are more than welcome to order a shirt and root for us! We...

Results Not Typical

I often have people comment that my results aren’t typical.  Most are impressed and say something along the lines of “great job”, “inspiring”, “I’m going to dust off my set of DVD’s and push play”, etc. Others are annoying jerks and say something like “you must have...

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas teamRIPPED nation!  The Creator of everything we see, everything we can’t see, and each and every one of us — a God so big we can’t even get our little minds around it — came to our tiny little world, put on the limitations that we know, and was...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! What an exciting week.  The P90X2 orders have arrived early for many of you already, and for those who haven’t received yours yet, it won’t be long now.  BB said originally that they would get them to us by Christmas, and they are ahead of schedule for the...

Silent Cheating

James P. is a new convert to the teamRIPPED way of thinking.  He has been trying to get fit for nearly a year, but just recently found our website and started gleaning tips and advice from our articles.  He made the switch to our team because he’s seen and experienced the...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!!! What a week!  P90X2 orders are in the mail and on their way to crazy fanatical people all over this great land of ours!  I am so pumped up I can hardly stand it!  If you want to read more specifics of how and when they are shipping, read my post from Monday called...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving teamRIPPED nation!  I have been so blessed to have the opportunity to work with all of you and meet like minded people who are committed to taking control of their health and fitness and making a change that inspires others to follow.  Thank you all so much for being...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! Look out, your fearless leader is getting old! LOL!  This weekend was my birthday, and I am now 38!  In just 2 years I can be the old “ripped at age 40″ guy LOL!  Who says getting old is a drag?  I have guys half my age saying they wished they looked like...

Changes ….

People are inherently resistant to change.  With change comes fear of the unknown.  This is something we need to remember when going through a transformation of our health and fitness, especially if our spouse / significant other is not doing it with us!  It can be a serious cause of...

Beachbody Challenge

Should you take the Beachbody Challenge?  ABSOLUTELY!  You have nothing to lose (except some body fat), and EVERYTHING to gain!  It’s totally free to “take the Beachbody Challenge”.  And you are in the running for lots of cool prizes = $500 daily winners $1000...

Tony H. Video Montage

All of you who have watched P90X videos for more than 1 minute know that Tony is always saying something goofy or funny.  Tyler Robbins — one of our honorary teamRIPPED coaches (I say honorary because he’s in Canada and can’t become an official coach yet), has put in a...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED! Are you struggling to stay committed because of limitations beyond your control?  Maybe you don’t have the perfect schedule, the perfect setting for doing the workouts, or the perfect options for nutrition and supplements?  Are you going to throw in the towel and...

Trick or Treat??

It’s Halloween, All Hallow’s Eve, Reformation Day, Fall Festival Day, or whatever it is that you celebrate today.  But no matter what persuasion you go with for today’s events, there is a common thread — JUNK FOOD! I find it very ironic that our culture has...

My Schedule

What’s a day like in the life of Coach Wayne?  I’m a fitness rockstar, the face of teamRIPPED, and Beachbody legend.  It’s a quasi-celebrity lifestyle, right??  (I hope you sense my sarcasm!!!) Well, I hate to disappoint you all, but NO!  I’m a regular guy with...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! How are y’all doing?  I hope you are bringing it as hard as me and the Misfits!  We are CRUSHING these workouts!  Yesterday’s post, “Dialing it In”, is the nutrition plan I have had the Misfits following, and it’s working GREAT for all of...

Update Vids

As you know, I love to feature transformation stories on our own team members who go all out and get great results.  It’s equally encouraging to know that these folks don’t just stop when they hit day 90.  They keep bringing it.  They try different programs to fine tune...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! We are over a week into the Misfit Challenge, and while we had a few decide it wasn’t for them, those who have stuck around are more fired up than ever.  They are seeing physical changes already, and their mental focus and enthusiasm is through the roof! ...

Vote for Tim!

The Beachbody Challenge is an ongoing contest sponsored by Beachbody to find the most amazing, inspiring transformation stories from people using their products.  As you guys know from our Hall of Famers, teamRIPPED has a BUNCH of inspirational transformations.  I’m very excited...

COURAGEOUS!

Y’all are seeking to make a change.  To reverse the trend of obesity and health related diseases that have plagued our countries, our families, and ourselves in many cases. That takes courage!  It’s hard to go against the flow.  It’s hard to do the right things when...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! Wow, it’s been a wild week!  Last Monday I issued a challenge to those among us who needed a kick in the rear to get it in gear and make the most of these last 90 days of 2011.  I had no idea that the “teamRIPPED Misfit Challenge” would erupt into over...

Left out!

I hope everyone is taking advantage of the community of faithful, fired-up, teamRIPPED members we have here.  I currently have over 6,000 people who have made me their coach.  Many are totally engaged, making great progress, and seeing awesome results that impress and inspire others. ...

Coach W Checking In!

Hey teamRIPPED!! I hope y’all are still bringing it, digging deep, and doing it teamRIPPED style!  If not, don’t let another day of regret go by.  Take charge and make the commitment!  Get back on the track that will take you to where you want to be! ATTENTION!  Anyone...
