The official LAUNCH DATE for Team Beachbody Coaching in the UK is: October 19th 2017Many of you have already been searching the internet asking questions like: What is Beachbody Coaching? How do I become a Coach in the UK? and When can people in the UK sign up to be a Coach?This is your in depth guide on How to Become a Team Beachbody Coach in the UK! "What is a Team Beachbody Coach?" A Team Beachbody Coach is a friend, a supporter, a motivator and a cheerleader who helps others get into the best shape of their lives.

Coaching is a fantastic way to help at the ground level, make a real difference in the lives of others and keep you focused on your own goals. Why did Team Beachbody launch in the UK? Team Beachbody launched in the UK due to HIGH demand for their famous programs like P90x, Insanity, Core De Force, 21 Day Fix and other popular workouts.

Our 60 Day Core De Force Test Group Results
The last 2 months have been a blast, a learning experience and a wild ride with Core De Force. We are both in awe of what happens when you actually commit to a program (instead of just casually following something when we felt like it!) We are just human and of course we have fallen under the same pressure others are under. Lack of motivation, letting life get in the way, not taking our health seriously, too many cheat meals, the list goes on. But guess what happened when we stopped dreading workouts & clean eating and starting LOVING how simple it really was to follow? KICK ASS RESULTS! 60 Day Core De Force Test Group Results! Combined we are down 18lbs and 28 inches. But those are just the numbers. We also FEEL a lot different inside and out, which makes a huge difference on how we experience every day! TREVOR’s 60 Day Core De Force Test Group Results: Total weight lost: 12lbs Total inches lost: 18 Inches Most improved area: Stomach Biggest non-scale victory: Better sleep KASHLEE’s 60 Day Core De Force Test Group Results: Total weight lost: 6lbs Total inches lost: 10 Inches Most improved area: Stomach Biggest non-scale victory: ENERGY levels! (and confidence!) Our Core De Force Test Group Review: We did write a pretty detailed review of our thoughts, experiences and even food intake in this blog (Our 30 Day Core De Force Review) but we have learned and realized some new things since then! We like the length of Core De Force Workouts- The longest workout is 47 minutes and the shortest workout is around...
Core De Force Review, Results, Launch Date & Test Group
Core De Force is Beachbody’s latest workout that is definitely packing a PUNCH! With the official release date happening on Oct 31st 2016, your FIGHT for a better body is just around the corner! **UPDATE: Launch just happened! Scroll to the bottom to get set up with your copy NOW before they sell out!**** We have ALL the details you will EVER want to know with: Trevor & Kashlee’s Core De Force Review, Results, Launch Date & Test Group Core De Force Reviews: We are just about to complete 60 days in the Core De Force Test group (results and review for that coming SOON!) but we did learn a lot in our first 30 round! Core De Force is an intense workout. It would be on par with Insanity or P90x! However, because there is an amazing low impact modifier to follow, ANYONE is able to do this workout. You do not need ANY equipment for Core De Force. At all! The moves are easy to get used to (even if the first time is a little tricky) I am really not a coordinated guy at ALL and I was able to do these moves (which means anyone can do them!) No fancy footwork here! This workout targets the CORE unlike any other workout we have done to date. Kashlee was dreading the cardio, but to be honest, the cool moves and combos kept her brain so busy (and feeling like a superhero) that she kind of forgot how much cardio she was actually doing. Trevor and Kashlee’s 30 Day Core De Force Results: Trevor Total...
Pumpkin Spice Latte – Good or Bad? The Truth about the PSL!
When the leaves start to turn color, Starbucks brings back everyone’s favorite fall drink,the Pumpkin Spice Latte. It’s been getting a lot of press, heat and attention on what it’s actually made with and we wanted to take a closer look to help figure out: Pumpkin Spice Latte – Good or Bad? The Truth about the PSL! But first, I just want to mention… we are NOT angels, judgemental health freaks, or anything in between. We dig into the nutrition of things like the PSL in order to educate ourselves and our readers about crap lurking inside their cups! It’s about awareness, not perfection. Good or Bad? The verdict: BAD When we looked closer into the Pumpkin Spice Latte, I can’t say we were happy about what we found. We had 3 major issues with this drink (and actually, most of the Starbucks lineup) Unreasonable levels of SUGAR I took one of the most popular orders that barristas are hearing: “Grande, nonfat, whip” and checked out the cals, carbs and grams of sugars. It’s BRUTAL. 51 grams of Sugar. In a drink. To put this into perspective: An apple has 10g’s of sugar, an actual piece of pumpkin pie contains 25g’s and a Snickers chocolate bar has 47g’s. This one grande, non-fat drink takes the cake. Why is this a problem? Sugar triggers the hypothalamus like cocaine or heroine with a big rushing wave of dopamine. Think that feeling could be addictive? YOU BET! In fact, researchers and doctors are starting to see a rise in non-alcohol liver disease. Pumping that much sugar into your bloodstream on a...

Send us an EMAIL or ADD ME as a friend on Facebook to chat about getting started! If you have no idea what Core De Force is, we wrote a blog on the new program HERE, but it’s a brand new MMA fight inspired workout that incorporates kickboxing, boxing, muay thai and other martial arts to SHRED your core! Our 30 Day ‘Core De Force’ Test Group Results! Trevor Total weight lost: 6lbs Total inches lost: 13 inches Area most improved: Stomach Trevor’s Core De Force Review: First off, Core De Force is BADASS! However, starting out my Core De Force journey at 202lbs was definitely a struggle for me! I had put on a lot of lean muscle mass with 3 months of weight lifting in the spring and then I put on some ice cream tummy mass from over indulging this summer 😉 I soon found that the more I got used to the moves, the stronger and faster I was at adding speed and rotation through them. I am really not a coordinated guy at ALL and I was able to do these moves (which means anyone can do them!) No fancy footwork here! The 3 minute rounds really kept...

Top 5 EASY Meal Prep & Meal Planning Tips
We have been asking our clients what their BIGGEST struggle with losing weight or getting healthy is, and they all seem to say the same thing: MEAL PLANNING! We get it! I would say we both agree it’s our weak spot as well, but over the years we have developed a system and some helpful tips that keep us in line 😉 Last week we did an entire LIVE episode of ‘Real Talk’ on this very subject: Top 5 EASY Meal Prep & Meal Planning Tips Watch the episode on Facebook HERE (which is honestly the best way to watch it, as you can see all the LIVE comments and live questions we answered as we went along! If you don’t have FB, you can catch it on YouTube as well) If you aren’t into watching our kickass show, here is a basic outline of what we covered for our: Top 5 EASY Meal Prep & Meal Planning Tips Meal Prep Tip #5 – Have other people do the work for you Not everything in meal planning and prep has to be done by yourself in order to be healthy and cheap. We have found some short cuts that don’t cost us really anything extra and that also shave some time off our weekly prep schedule. Buy PRE cut veggies. Our grocery store has EVERYTHING pre cut! (even onions!) and to be honest, they run about 0.20 cents more than just buying the full veggie ourselves. This has been a life saver for us! Bagged foods that aren’t brutal. Like unsalted nuts! They are already portioned out for...

BOD Spotlight #2- Streaming with Apple TV
The day has finally come where fitness fanatics can finally STREAM their Beachbody on Demand workouts with Apple TV! This is a huge addition to already having the ability to stream BOD through Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast. BOD Spotlight #2- Streaming with Apple TV There are always a million and one tech questions that pop up whenever a new feature is released. Here is the 411 on everything you need to know about streaming BOD with Apple TV! Which models of Apple TV does Beachbody on Demand work with? NOT any of the old ones. You do need the 4th generation (so the newest one) to be able to do it. The new Apple TV is worth it, as it comes with a ton of new features like the ability to also stream Netflix, Hulu, HBO and anything you have in your itunes library! (The 4th generation Apple Tv comes in a 32GB and a 64GB, both for under $200) What if I have an older version of Apple TV, but I know how to use the ‘Airplay’ feature? Then you are still okay to stream your Beachbody on Demand workouts from your phone or computer through Airplay, just not on the ‘BOD App’ specifically! How do I get my Beachbody on Demand on the Apple TV? Launch your Apple TV and go into the App Store. Search: ‘Beachbody on Demand’ and you will see the app in the results. Download. You’ll next see a screen pop up with a URL and an activation code. Enter the URL into the Internet browser on your...
BOD Spotlight #1: FREE Spotify Playlists
Over the next few weeks I am going to be aiming the SPOTLIGHT shining bright onto Beachbody On Demand! This new online streaming platform dubbed ‘Netflix of Fitness’ was launched in March 2015, but has had SO many updates and improvements, I can’t put them all into ONE blog! 😉 BOD Spotlight #1: FREE Spotify Playlists We all know how much a good jam can turn our mood right around, or even get us enough motivation to crush our workouts! Beachbody On Demand has launched their own Spotify Playlist Channel that you can access from RIGHT inside the BOD site. In fact, they have even made certain playlists to match different workouts for optimal calorie burning inspiration! The staff over at Beachbody, and even some of the celebrity trainers have lent their suggestions to make these lists worth the listen. Autumn Calabrese even made a ‘Cardio Crush’ to go perfectly along with her world famous ’21 Day Fix’ program! The lists range from everything to get your blood pumping for a HIIT or PLYO workout, to something a little more mellow for a stretch session or yoga. Workout programs that you can find custom lists for include: 21 Day Fix, Body Beast, INSANITY, INSANITY MAX:30, or FOCUS T25. You might even have a favourite workout disc that you have played so many times you could literally repeat the trainer word for word…. am I right? So mix it up by blasting one of the suggested playlists over the video and keep the workout fresh! Just login with Facebook or create a free account with...
Hammer and Chisel is ON SALE in Canada and USA
Looks like Christmas came early for fitness fans because Hammer and Chisel is ON SALE in Canada and USA! This ‘match made in heaven’ workout program takes the most popular at home weight lifting guru Sagi Kalev and pairs him with Beachbody’s most popular creator of the ’21 Day Fix’, miss Autumn Calabrese. What this creates is one of the most anticipated and effective workouts to launch in the world of fitness in a long time! Yes, December can be a tough time to splurge on a fitness program for yourself, but lets be honest with each other, you are going to do it anyway! I am totally guilty of this…. shopping at the stores for the people on my list, and BOOM!!!…. a bunch of stuff ends up in the cart for me! (Whoops!) Do yourself a favor this year and skip the cute outfits & fragrance gift sets and instead opt for something that will literally change your life (both physically and mentally!) Hammer and Chisel is THE program to do that! Summer bodies are FORGED in the winter, as they say. I sure know what it feels like to wait until May and be in utter PANIC because I did not start to burn off the Christmas pies until it was a little too late. Chisel off the fat NOW and be glad you did! I was first introduced to Sagi’s ‘Body Beast’ by my fiance Trevor, and to be honest, I was a little hesitant to do it! “I don’t want big muscles!” I said. Well I could not have been more incorrect....
Weight Loss is MORE than Exercise and Clean Eating!
I can’t say it enough: Weight Loss is MORE than exercise and clean eating! So hear me out: Have you ever tried to do up last seasons pants and they won’t button up? Yeah, I think we have ALL been there. The next thing we usually do is press the panic button, throw away all the treats in the house and crush some extra workouts. Once the pants fit, we sigh in relief and then resume life as normal. … until… OOPS... the weight came back again. (Okay! We know the drill, let’s get started!) But what just happened there? Have you ever taken a deeper look into this very phenomenon? The weight loss was not the problem. It was the symptom. The SYMPTOM of another problem that was going on in your life. When we treat weight gain like it is the only issue, we miss the core reason WHY we experienced the weight gain. Still following me? I will use my own past to illustrate this. I was getting bullied and teased a lot at school and I started to use food as a security blanket. Working out and cutting calories was NOT all that I needed at the time. I needed to build my confidence back up, understand my self worth and combine that with healthier habits. If I had JUST worked on cals in/cals out, I would have returned to my food crutch and the cycle would keep repeating itself. I have seen it time and time again. Someone will stock up on shakes, vitamins, pre-workout, and a whole library of fitness...
I Left My Insecurities in the Sand
A crippling insecurity showed up last week, and I decided it was time for it to leave my life forever. Trevor asked me to do something, that to him, seemed FUN. To me, I felt my throat close up, my body get tense and all I wanted to do was hide. What did he ask me to do? – TO SPRINT. To run on the beach with him. A playful race. – The last time I ran was in mandatory track and field, of which was humiliating for me. I was 13 and by far the HEAVIEST person in my class. I couldn’t even get halfway through the 100m. I stopped at about 40m in, far behind everyone else, and walked off the side with about 300 other students taunting me. (Which was a daily occurrence) After that I always had a note to get me out of any activity that would publicly humiliate me. I hid at gym class, I was excused from track. I never ran again. EVER! ? Until that day last week, I didn’t even realize that I was still carrying around that guilt, embarrassment and pain. The pain that still lingered from being the “FAT FREAK” who was too heavy to run. So….. I RAN. I freaking RAN. I sprinted and raced and RAN and left my SHAME in the sand Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterTumblrPinterestLike this:Like Loading...Comments...
Ditch the Scale Challenge
I was never a big believer of the scale to begin with. That snotty little square on my bathroom floor that always shouted at me with a digital display… While of course weight loss is super important in the over-all quest for a healthy body, it should never remain a top focus forever. You could be ‘skinny’ and still HORRIBLY unhealthy. You could be heavier than your goal weight, but still fit into the smallest pair of jeans you own. It’s TRICKY to just rely on the scale. We started the 11th round of our free 30 Day online fitness ‘Change Your Life Challenge’ today and it’s the first one I did not technically weigh in for. Why? Well, biggest reason is I am in Ecuador for 6 months and do not OWN a scale, nor is there a gym in a 200 mile radius of me. So it’s time for me to DITCH THE SCALE and use some other tell-tale signs if I have been slacking or if I have been working on my fitness! The Fit of my Clothes Right or wrong, how my clothes fit that day will have a lot to do with my mood! (How many ladies hear me on that one?!) In Ecuador for 6 months, I do not have the annual ritual of hiding under a HUGE cashmere sweater after too much comfort food. Nope, it’s all bikinis, shorts, and tanks for me! When I can zip that sundress up, it will be one indication that I am sticking to my fitness regime. Dem Abs Okay, so being...
Our Journey Continues… in ECUADOR!
I am sitting there this morning, a little overwhelmed by how fast everything has come together this year. It seems almost INSANE that in just 4 short days Trevor and I will leave our home in Kelowna BC, travel over 7,000km and set up for SIX months in Puerto Cayo, Ecuador! Even typing out those words doesn’t fully make sense in my brain yet! I am not going to lie, GOD have we ever worked hard this year, but it all still feels like an ultimate blessing. Nothing in life comes easy right? Well we both have first hand experience in learning just how true that is. All I know is that STAYING STILL is even harder. Being stuck on repeat in the same nightmarish ‘Groundhog Day’ is MUCH harder than putting in some good old fashioned effort. My FEAR of staying the same is greater than my FEAR of stepping into the unknown. Every single time I have stepped out of my comfort zone, nothing but wonderful and beautiful things have happened to me. I am always left wondering why I carried around so much fear in the first place? I won’t bring any of it with me to Ecuador. I have decided to pack it up in a little box and take it out with the last bit of trash before we leave! So why did we pick Ecuador? Well, I think it sort of chose us to be honest! We had both never been there, let alone really know ANYTHING about the country. We were first searching more common destinations like Costa Rica,...
