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 weight they’ve been conveniently hiding under the thick winter clothes for the past several months. What a great time for all of you to encourage them, point them to what’s working for you, and help them get started. Getting started is the hardest part because most people who are out of shape don’t know where to begin. If you can point them to a starting point, they can find success. Tell them about the workout programs that are working for you, offer to hold them accountable, tell them about teamRIPPED and the nutrition tips and groups we have here to support them. GET THEM GOING! They will thank you for it! And it will keep you going harder too if you have people looking to you for motivation!
February was another month of WINNING for our teamRIPPED family! We had TWO winners of the Beachbody Challenge in February! TWO!!!
Karl M =
Bobby B =
One of our winners was Karl, who I just featured on our site last week. He dominated the “Over 50” category. Way to go Karl!! If you didn’t read his story CLICK HERE.
And the other winner is one of our Hall of Famers, Bobby B., who was the poster child of our Asylum Legends competition last year. He rocked it then, and has continued to “Be Elite” in his fitness. I bet most of you haven’t seen his video so check this out!
Since Beachbody started the Beachbody Challenge in the fall (about 6-7 months ago), we’ve now had EIGHT winners from our teamRIPPED family! That’s unreal! Way to continue to set the standard gang! To learn more about entering yourself in the challenge and going for the prize, CLICK HERE.
In other news, the new workout program Tai Cheng (featuring Dr. Mark Cheng, based on the popular martial art Tai Chi) is only a week away from launching. I will post product details and ordering info next week. It is low impact / no impact, and focuses on re-equilibrating your body, training your body to use correct posture, flexibility, stability, strength, and coordination. It’s about mobility and agility. This is a great workout for people with chronic injuries, old injuries that have changed our posture or mobility, and for older folks who need a low impact workout program. This 90 day workout package comes with 13 DVD’s, a foam roller, bands, and nutrition guide. This is the kind of workout a guy like my dad would thrive on. As an “older guy” (my dad is 65) with some residual damage to his extremities from a bout with polio as a youngster, this type of workout will help him get his body to work for him more effectively and efficiently.
And finally, I want to touch base on something you may or may not have noticed, but is very important to me — BEACHBODY CUSTOMER SERVICE. Some of you who have tried calling the customer relations or coach relations lines have noticed that wait times are FOREVER. It’s frustrating. I share your frustration. And I can assure you that Beachbody is very, very aware of the issue and are hiring many additional employees and training them as we speak to get those wait times down and offer you the customer service you’ve come to expect from them over the years.
Honestly, it’s because business is booming faster than they can keep up. This is a good thing. The products are a hit, and people like you and I are living proof that they work better than anything else — which has led to exponentially increasing demand for Beachbody’s products and services. Quality is job 1, and they can’t just hire anybody to answer the phones. They want them trained to effectively assist you with your needs, so it’s taking them longer than they’d like to get enough personnel on board to keep up with the business growth. I spoke with the leadership about this just last week, and I’m confident that they are doing everything they can to meet the challenge. In the meantime, I’ll ask that you guys be patient as they work to “catch up” with the wave of demand. The will do it, and they will do it right.
And one word of advice, if you don’t like waiting on hold (like me), use email. You can email questions about your orders to coachrelations@teambeachbody.com and they will process it within a day or two and email you back, and you don’t have to wait on hold. You can use email to change orders, check on orders, cancel orders, etc. so take advantage of that service.
And 2 favors that I ask:
1) If you like the hard work I put into writing my articles and videos, PLEASE help me out by sharing them. Click the share links below them and share them on FB, twitter, etc. It really helps me get more exposure and grow teamRIPPED!
2) Also, as always, remember that the way I benefit from being your coach is that I earn a commission from any Beachbody products that you purchase, as long as you buy them through my site, www.teamRIPPED.com, or by logging in to www.teambeachbody.com to do your shopping (If you buy from the plain beachbody site I get no credit). It helps with the amount of time I spend answering all your questions and helping you out. Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Keep bringing it and inspiring others to do the same gang!!
