New Announcements!

We, unfortunately, were unable to attend this year's Team Beachbody Coach Summit in LA. We already had our tickets, plane tickets, hotel, etc. and were ready to go until last month we realized my husband had so many Doctor appointments that there was no way we could go! We're getting everything ready to find out whether he'll be parting from the military as soon as next month to as long as next year, so it's really important for him to keep those appointments right now! So although it was necessary for us to not go this year - I still got excited every time I saw new updates and pictures from Summit, and I can't wait to go next year - even if it is in Las Vegas! haha I know I haven't posted in a while, but this is a post worth waiting for! hehe So here are some of the key updates!

1) FREE Coaching for Active Duty Military!!
This is one of the reasons I LOVE Beachbody! They truly care about others - ending the trend of obesity in our country, offering healthier alternatives for fundraising for non-profits (FREE as well), donating money to wonderful causes like Rain Catchers, and now honoring the men and women that serve our country! I'm not saying this just because I'm an Army wife, either! ;p A lot of companies don't recognize the challenges faced by military families. Offering an opportunity for them to own their own business for FREE while they're serving our country not only gives them an opportunity to change their health and fitness and share that passion with others, but it also sets them up for success for when they part with the military - whatever the reason. In our case, my husband will most likely be parting with the military due to medical reasons - knee injury, having had cancer twice resulting in complications from the surgeries as well as the chemotherapy. The thought of returning to the civilian world with no idea where to live or where there are even jobs available (there aren't many) was a bit, well, stressful. That burden was lifted when we found this opportunity, and now for the offer to no longer have business fees for my husband is just icing on the cake! Why not start your own business at no cost and build up some residual income while you're serving? Or for the military spouses whose Active Duty member (their spouse) is not a coach - the benefit transfer to them! I know I'm not the only military spouse that was looking for a great business opportunity that allows me to stay home with the kids! :)
