Wow….like seriously just wow. It’s taken me sometime to really put down into words what this trip meant to me. If you follow me on Snapchat: ginamariec17 or Facebook: Gina Marie Fit you saw that the trip was EPIC! For a week, we went to The Dominican Republic and stayed at the Hard Rock Resort in Punta Cana. This was a trip that I earned from Team Beachbody as a coach.
Every year Beachbody has an incentive trip AKA the Success Club Trip that coaches in the network can earn for themselves and their family or a guest. I was able to bring along one of my best friends Melanie. This was an all inclusive all expense paid vacation with cash to spend at the resort or shops. Last year, I earned my first trip which was a cruise, but was unable to go due to my other job preventing me from acquiring time off. So…there was NO WAY I missing out on another free trip I earned. I remember watching everyone go on that trip, I was so happy for them and thought that I’d never be able to do that again. But, I was wrong, and I totally have earned this trip and next year’s trip as well. EVERYONE that becomes a coach can totally earn this trip too! Simply by helping 3-5 people a month you earn an amazing experience! <-HECK YEAH!
HOW DO YOU EARN THE SUCCESS CLUB TRIP?
Earning the Success Club Trip honestly is quite simple actually. You decide to set a goal each month at a minimum of helping 3-5 people get started on their own health and fitness journey. By setting this goal to help 3-5 people you earn points that are the equivalent to trip dollars towards the next vacation. By hitting success club 5-10 each month then you earn enough trip dollars to go on the next trip with travel incentive. Also, as a result of earning this trip, you also are earning an income and moving your business forward which is the initial goal of a coach to begin with. By achieving this, Team Beachbody sends you a personal invitation to register for the trip.
WHAT HAPPENED ON THE TRIP?
Unlike other trips I have taken for my business, the Success Club trip is an opportunity to hang out with your best friends in the business. Because of the virtual aspect of what we do as coaches, it’s an awesome opportunity to meet with people in person. Our job as coaches is to run support and accountability groups and trainings which are hosted online via exclusive private groups and video conferencing. So, when you go on the trip, you get to relax on the beach and hangout at the pool with the people who you have met online who are just like you. Coaches are entrepreneurs, to some it’s unconventional, but honestly we all have the same mindset and traits. Each of us is different but we are all driven, have a passion for changing the lives of others and have visions and dreams that exceed our standards of living when we enter college.
People asked me, so you go to trainings and workout and such? Honestly, no it’s not like any other training or coaching event I attended. We sat on the beach or at the pool and talked about life, we brainstormed business ideas and shared on our spin on how we can improve our businesses together. Beachbody had an entire agenda of fun things to plan that were all optional.
Because of my work schedule, I missed the first night and opening party where my friends told me there was awesome food and live music with games to also play. For me, my first day was spent traveling to Punta Cana from Pittsburgh with my friend Melanie. It got a little hairy there for a minute but finally that evening we had entered our room and got a taste of just how impressive being a coach was.
Our first official night we had dinner at the steak house Toro where we ran into some of my favorite people. We started the trip off filling our bellies and tasting a variety of drinks learning about the different ways they make their drinks in the Dominican versus how we do things in America. We were able to walk right over to the beach from dinner and then attended a dance party with some of our friends.
Then the next morning it was GAME ON! All of the coaches and myself did a double workout with Autumn Calabrese, the creator of the 21 Day Fix and the newest trainer Chris Downing who is releasing SHIFT SHOP in July! It is a 3 week rapid weight loss program and we had the opportunity to test it out live and it totally had me dripping in sweat in the best possible way….this workout is going to be AMAZING! We got to do workouts with each of them while also being inspired by their speeches about why it’s so more important to reach more people who are struggling in their own journeys.
After that it was time for breakfast, my favorite part, the buffets had tons of fresh fruit and of course Team Beachbody had Shakeology on hand for after the workouts! Then it was off to the beach and pools to spend all day with our friends. Nothing better than talking about life, goals and plans for the future with a view like this and a drink in your hand.
After a full day of sun and fun, we headed to a hibachi dinner with our team and went around the resort to see what it was all about. It was so awesome getting to know people on a different level, hearing about their families, their struggles and ultimately what all lead us to the same path-coaching.
The next day it was up bright and early to experience another heart pumping workout from Chris Downing. Not going to lie, his speak had me near tears. He had brought up a person with disabilities up on the stage to workout with him and he spoke of the importance of empowering and supporting people. It touched me on such a person level. I know this program will be another soulmate workout. It was so awesome to workout with our team and sweat for something bigger together.
The rest of the day was spent beach and poolside having a team party and meeting other new coaches who totally are on the same vibe and wave length as me. I even got to meet a coach I have been following my entire journey. It’s truly amazing the caliber of people this company attracts and the incredible friendships we establish because of such a simple decision to become a coach.
After a full day of drinks, hamburgers (I fell in love with their hamburgers) and beer pong pool style it was time for our closing party! Not going to lie, it was awesome. Tons of good fun, even more drinks and tons of music. It was awesome getting to let lose with so many of our teammates. Truly, a solid way to go out.
Honestly, we really had an awesome time with our team, I really miss them already! As great as it is to get back into a normal routine, these trips always have a lasting impact on me when I return. What’s great is that in July we will all be back together again for our annual coach event in New Orleans!
What’s special about these trips? Why take time off my job to attend them? Because honestly, they re-energize you and your business. When you surround yourself with positive, uplifting people who are like minded, it truly opens your eyes to what’s possible in life and in your business. My dream is to pursue this full time and help changes more lives.
