I have finallyyyyyy done what I have wanted to do for about a year now! 

I'm a Beachbody Coach!!

Why did it take me so long?? 

Well,  at first I just assumed that Beachbody was just another fad-diet trend where you had to drink protein shakes and you did some fitness videos.. whoopdedoo. BUT then I saw friends result pictures and lifestyle changes! I still thought there had to be something gimmicky about it, but I did my  research and read blogs and read dietitian reviews.. and there is honestly absolutely NOTHING gimmicky about this company! I don't even want to call it a company because that's not what it represents.

Another reason was, I had this idea that because I was going to school to be a dietitian that I couldn't be apart of some other modern/holistic nutrition program. The classic dietitian it pretty traditional and doesn't believe in things that aren't science approved or considered a national guideline. So I just kept thinking I couldn't be a dietitian and be apart of Beachbody. But guess what.. I'm still going to school for dietetics (which I love!) AND I'm going to be a Beachbody coach!  I kept making excuses.. "I don't know if I like shakeology... I don't know if I want to promote all of these workout videos.." Well I don't have to do any of that if I don't want to! I don't know those products enough to promote them anyways and like I have said before, I will never promote something if I know nothing about it. It will just sound like I'm selling a product and that is the last thing that I want or believe in. I want to be apart of this for me and for anyone who wants to make a change in their life as well!






Why Beachbody?

When I first became interested in nutrition and dietetics, I always thought that I would have my own business and my own clients, and that was going to be my career as a dietitian. Now that I am a few years into my degree, I realize that there are sooooooo many other options out there! I am becoming very passionate towards pediatric dietetics, renal dietetics (working with ill patients)  and possibly even doing some research! But guess what!? I get to have BOTH.. because of Beachbody!! I get to have MY OWN BUSINESS , MY OWN CLIENTS even while I go to school to further my nutrition education! I have felt this need to share what I am learning with people and I'm pretty sure my boyfriend is sick of me telling him whats good and bad about everything he eats... Beachbody is giving me the opportunity to use my education to the absolute best of my ability until I decide to go further.

We're human.. we want to get in shape but sometimes we fall of the wagon and we try to get back on, but it's hard to do..especially alone. I know!! I was in the best shape of my life and then got lazy and now I'm playing catch up. But I want a change! I knew that I wanted a program that was NOT a diet, NOT a quick-fix,  andddd NOT something that I will quit a few days in.. I want a permanent lifestyle change and I truly believe Beachbody is exactly that! They are full of coaches who have been exactly where I am and where so many of us start or where we quit. I am sooooo excited to FINALLY be apart of something that I know will change my life and help me change other peoples too! It's scary and it's unfamiliar to me but like I've heard so many times from this company "If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough"

I have ALWAYS hated diets and "quick fixes" to health and weight loss (like Dr. Oz.. yuckkkk.). They just simply do not work. I've realized that Beachbody is finally a program of coaches... NOT sales people.. who work one-on-one with clients who want to make a lifestyle change, not just in weight loss but in every aspect of their lives. These coaches are not hired by Beachbody to promote products, they are real everyday people, with stories and passions who want to share their journey and help others who are just like us!







What is going to be my goal #1 ???


Start by just being a Beachbody customer!

I'm kind of in a unique place .. most Beachbody coaches started their journey by using a program from Beachbody and getting amazing results or they just really wanted the discount for shakeology.. I've never used anything Beachbody but I DO know nutrition and DO know how to push myself to reach goals and I believe that is what will make me a great coach.

I want to use Beachbody as my pathway to really commit to a healthy lifestyle and see where it takes me!


I'm starting with the 21 Day fix! I'm going to have a challenge group in about a week and if anyone wants to join please feel free to email me OR if you just have questions!
