Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions From People considering Network Marketing and the Team Beachbody business opportunity.
When people decide not to get involved in a home-based business like Beachbody, or any other network marketing company, it comes down to a few reasons:
Let’s be clear right off the bat… Network Marketing is NOT sales. We are simply creating a family of consumers who simply enjoy using the products.
Most people who enter these businesses do not have 3 things.
We interview and talk to hundreds of people per year about joining our team as a Beachbody coach. Turns out, almost everyone has the same questions/concerns! In fact, I even had the same questions when I started.
We LOVE Questions!! If you’re SERIOUS about taking action on an opportunity that can COMPLETELY change your life, you SHOULD have questions
So here are the Top questions/concerns that most people seem to have:
1. What does it cost to join? – The most popular way to join is with what is called a Coach Challenge Pack. That is the combination of a 30 day supply of Shakeology (our #1 product and a daily meal replacement), and a Fitness program dvd set or Beachbody On Demand Streaming videos that you receive at a low discount. The cost for the two combined is between $140 – $225 depending on which fitness program.
The other way to join is simply by signing up for a $39.95 Coach Sign-Up Fee, and then buying a couple of products that you may use on an everyday basis, such as Shakeology ($97.50 for a monthly supply, or roughly $3.50 per day for a meal), our popular Derm Exclusive skin care line, vitamins, supplements, and other health and beauty items.
The $39.95 Fee is waived when you buy the Coach Challenge Pack, so that’s why it’s the most popular, and as a result you can basically get a free fitness program.
Remember, this is a Business you are opening that gives you the opportunity to generate a full time income and more. Imagine what the cost would be to open a brick and mortar store to have the ability to generate thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars of income per year? The average cost of a Franchise is tens of thousands of dollars to open and people hope to make money after they invest all that money. Beachbody gives us the opportunity to open our business for less than $100 – $200.
2. What are the ongoing costs? – The only REQUIRED ongoing cost is a $15.95 per month Business Service Fee. This is the fee for all your business overhead from Beachbody, including three of your very own websites, and customer service and shipping all done by the company. You do not carry any inventory other than the products you consume yourself. *This fee is waived for all current and past active duty American Military.
That’s the beauty of network marketing and Beachbody! To be eligible for the bonuses, you will just be using the products you use on an everyday basis and purchase your monthly supply of nutritional or beauty products that you would consume or buy from another retail store anyway. Most people just stay on Shakeology monthly Home Delivery and/or Derm Exclusive monthly home delivery options.
There is also an OPTIONAL $39.95 quarterly Club Membership (billed quarterly if selected). This Club Membership is super valuable. Not only do you earn a 40% commission just by having your team members and any customers join (who then receive 10% discounts off of purchases themselves), but you also get access to the brand new Beachbody on Demand streaming workout video access, as well as the ability to earn free customer leads from the Company upon meeting certain objectives. Bottom line is the Club Membership is a recommended and smart investment in the business but is not a required cost.
3. I don’t have time to do this. – Wonderful! We love busy people. Because busy people get stuff done and know how to prioritize. The fact is, you can build an amazing career making significant income when you do what we teach you to do, on anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours per day! It’s entirely possible to build a six figure income over a 2-3 year period with that schedule. That’s how we learn to Own Our Life! Imagine what you could do with your day if you learned to make that kind of income working part time from home on 10 – 20 hours per week? We’ll work with you to fit your goals within your allotted schedule and priorities and show you exactly what to do. And, we can show you ways that take virtually no time and your Sponsors will help take the load off of you and you’ll still benefit!
4. Do you need to be a fitness or nutrition expert, or be in great shape? Not at all! Being a Distributor, or a Coach as we call it, only means that you’ve decided to take control of your own life and want to use great products, like Shakeology and the Derm Exclusive skin care line and other products that are available to you. Some people mistakenly represent themselves in Beachbody to be fitness or nutrition experts, or they mistakenly go try to “SELL” their friends on fitness and nutrition because of the popularity of the fitness brands owned by Beachbody. However, that is not for most people. Most people just want to feel better about themselves and be healthy and using some products will help us do that.
5. I’m not a salesperson. I couldn’t do that. We certainly understand that. 95% of the population does not want to be a salesperson. That’s great. We want people who want to be Teachers and not salespeople. Network marketing is all about teaching and simply using the products yourself. You don’t have to sell anything to be very successful.
6. Is this one of those pyramid schemes? Of course not! Pyramids are Illegal schemes. This is Network Marketing, a $150 billion a year industry backed millions and millions of people and companies worldwide. Some of the most respected brands/companies in the world are Network Marketing/Direct Sales companies. Beachbody is a $1.0 Billion company A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau and a member of the Direct Sellers Association, a nationwide industry group.
Because network marketing/direct sales is so popular, many people have friends / relatives who have been involved in the industry, and many people have failed. The reason many failed is because they didn’t get proper training, and didn’t have mentors in the business to show them how to do things, and they didn’t understand Network Marketing in the first place!
Our team provides quality training and is led by an “Elite coach” in the Company (only 199 out of 250,000), Mark & Jessica Klanac.
Mark & Jessica are six figure earners who have learned Network Marketing from industry masters and personal mentors that they invest heavily in to pass on knowledge to the team.
7. How do I make income? In Network Marketing, income is generated primarily from building an organization/ network of consumers. You simply will buy products that you use everyday anyways from your own store. Each of those products (Shakeology, Derm Exclusive skin care products, vitamins, supplements, fitness programs, etc.) all have assigned point values (PV). As you build your team and each of your teammates does the same (consume their own products), then you can receive a portion of your team’s contributed volume. Please review Beachbody’s compensation plan for specifics.
So, to be clear, it doesn’t require “selling.” Over time, as your team grows, the team volume grows and so does your income. You will pick up a few customers along the way who happen to ask you about what you’re doing. Those become your retail customers and you may make $100 – $500 a month or something like that doing that. However, the majority of the income and if you want to make significant income, as in $50,000 a year or $100,000 per year or even $1,000,000 per year, then that comes from the team building and the bonuses associated with that. Beachbody’s compensation program allows you to make up over $15.0 million per year in team bonuses alone! How’s that for owning your life?
8. Do I get training on how to be a coach? – Yes, you don’t need to know anything to start We can train you from scratch. With the very basics, we like to say it takes 10 minutes to learn and 10 minutes to teach. However, we will train you and show you every step of the way of what you have to do to be successful and plan your growth. We provide ongoing training to our coaches so you are never alone.
9. Do I need Shakeology? - Short answer is No. We do recommend it. Shakeology is our #1 selling product though and people LOVE it. People feel great, have more energy, and can even lose weight if needed with it. So most people have the most success with Shakeology. But we also have a wonderful skincare line called Derm Exclusive that gets rave reviews as well as our other supplements, vitamins, and fitness programs. The only thing you NEED to do, but it’s only a requirement if you want to be eligible for all your Team Bonuses, is to purchase 50 Personal Volume or 90 Personal Volume points per month, based on your rank achieved.
10. What does it take to be successful ? Simply, the desire to Own Your Life – to have ambition to want to achieve something more, to want to have more time, more money, and better health in your life. To want to live with less stress and have more fun. We want people who are humble and coachable and are willing to learn something new, and teach others! It takes daily discipline and consistency. Just 1 – 2 hours per day can create a very significant income over time. In fact, we have a saying, “The discipline comes in because this business is so easy to do, it’s easy not to do.” So consistency and persistence and self-discipline are the keys. The business itself is very easy.
11. What do I get for my monthly fees? For your $15.95 per month Business Service Fee, you basically cover the cost of the overhead associated with owning/running a business. Beachbody provides us each with 3 replicated, personalized company websites and hosting, legal, accounting, customer service, shipping, and inventory support. You do not carry Inventory to sell!
Here are examples of the websites you will receive (prices listed are retail prices, not the discounted wholesale coach prices) :

When people decide not to get involved in a home-based business like Beachbody, or any other network marketing company, it comes down to a few reasons:
- There is a genuine and understandable fear of failure or fear that it involves sales,
- That it’s a waste of time because they do not believe they can be successful.
Let’s be clear right off the bat… Network Marketing is NOT sales. We are simply creating a family of consumers who simply enjoy using the products.
Most people who enter these businesses do not have 3 things.
- A powerful “WHY” or goal that they really want to achieve in life;
- The personal ambition and drive to get to that goal;
- A successful mentor in the business who helps you see that vision for your life, helps you form a plan around that vision, and finally provides the step by step training for you to get there!
