End the Trend!

Let’s end the trend of obesity!

Beachbody has the solution with our branded and effective fitness programs, meal plans, supplements and peer support – but we need more foot soldiers to lead the charge.

As a Coach, YOU have the power to help people…to literally save lives every time you muster the courage and enthusiasm to share Team Beachbody with someone!  Share the tools and programs. Offer support, compassion and encouragement.  Help them by making them accountable to a start date, a schedule, and a goal.

If you’d like to help end the trend in YOUR community, please contact me. We’re on a mission!

The halls of Beachbody are lined with dramatic transformation stories of people who have succeeded.  No doubt we’ve got work to do, and we also have an immense opportunity! It’s not going to be easy, but when a $400 million dollar company which has THE solution is staring at a $450 Billion dollar problem, the mission and opportunity is too great to rest!

We will not give up this fight. It’s time to END THE TREND.  Who can you help today?

The real cost of obesity
An obesity pandemic has put pressure on health care systems throughout the world. The United Kingdom, for instance, spent more than £4 billion on obesity-related medical costs in 2007, and that could rise to £9.7 billion by 2050. The United States currently spends about $160 billion—twice what it did a decade ago—and that amount could double again by 2018.

Yet these huge numbers represent only a fraction of the pandemic’s total economic burden on societies. Obesity indirectly costs the United States at least $450 billion annually—almost three times the direct medical cost. The situation is comparable in other countries as well.
