Hey teamRIPPED!
School is about to start for my gang at home. NOOOO!!!! That means it’s time to start getting up a little earlier in order to be sure I’m available to help get them up and going in the mornings. On the bright side, though, that means that as fall gets closer, my workouts in my garage gym won’t be quite as hot as they have been through the summer. I’m a “glass half full” kind of guy, so I’ll focus on that :-)
Speaking of optimism, I want to be the first to congratulate one of our own teamRIPPED members, Eric Schmidt, on winning the monthly Beachbody Challenge! That makes over a dozen winners from our team now. Although we had been on a drought the past 3 months or so, so it feels very good to have someone representing us in the winner’s circle again!
Congrats Eric! You rocked it man!
I’ve had a blast seeing your home gyms. Y’all clearly take pride in creating the perfect setup — some lavish and some very humble — but all get the job done! If you missed it last week, I’m putting together an article that highlights some of our coolest / most creative workout rooms so that we can all learn some handy tips and techniques from each other. Email pics to me at coachwayne@teamripped. com.
In keeping with the theme from yesterday about the best contact information for Beachbody, I also want to take a minute to remind everyone the BEST and WORST ways to get in touch with me. The BEST (in order) are:
#1 — This website. I check it nearly every hour, if not every few minutes, all day long. I always prioritize answering questions here first before answering any others.
#2 — Email. After being sure my website comments and questions are updated, I then check emails. I always try to respond within 24 hours. But I try to “unplug” from emails in the evening for family time.
#3 — Facebook. Like email, I try to unplug in the evenings, but I check it pretty regularly (at least once or twice per day if not more). But I always get the website and emails caught up first before answering messages on Facebook.
#4 — Youtube. Usually these are random people, not part of our team, so I don’t prioritize them as much. I do try to update my YouTube comments once a day, but I can’t do it on my iPhone and sometimes I go a couple days between updating the comments and questions on my videos.
#5 — Teambeachbody Inbox. This is the WORST way to contact me. I can’t check it from my phone, it’s pathetically slow to load, and I hate checking my Inbox. Don’t send me a message there if you want an answer quickly!!! I usually check it every few days, but I figure if people contact me there, it’s only because they aren’t plugged into our website and Facebook groups, so they get bumped down the list of priority!
I hope that helps you when choosing how to contact me, and it makes me feel better to keep you alerted how to best reach me because I really do pride myself on responding as quickly and thoroughly as I possibly can to each and every one of you who reach out to me.
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!!
