I’m quitting BB today. I’ve been in it for a year and started feeling everything that you said after my first month. I’ve never hit success club, never rank advanced, and I lost money and so much time!! Thanks for the validation.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I am so freakin happy for you!!!!
when things are for you, they will unfold graciously infront of your eyes. obviously not impossible but sometime we need to know that battles we let go, for they are not ours to fight.
Sooooo much money on those overpriced shakes. I still have them from 2018 because I refused to throw them away because they cost $115!!!! I just canceled the on demand today. I canceled the coach and membership so to speak a while back because I HAD to get ahold of my debt!
Yay!!!!
I had no idea BB was an MLM. I just cancelled my BOD membership in solidarity after watching only part of this. Thank you for your honesty.
i had bought shakeology and stopped buying bc I found out what they were and it was too pricey for nothing.
Welcome to the antiMLM community! Every voice raised against them makes us louder. I look forward to hearing more about your experience. X
Y’all have been incredibly supportive and I’m proud to be a part of this community 💕💕

@@BrandyMurray 😍😍😍😍
Always remember ladies.....IF it was THAT simple.....EVERYONE would be doing it. Regarding staying at home, I INSISTED my wife stay at home to manage the house, raise our child, etc, hence I have been the full-time breadwinner for the 30+ years of our marriage. WE have NOT REGRETTED that decision - most importantly to have a parent RAISE our son rather than a pre-school or day care. Glad to hear you sobered up....or ESCAPED...or both. America went to shit when BOTH parents started working. Learn to live on ONE income people....you won't be rich, but your children will be ALL the more better. Odds are you'll still be quite comfortable without 2 incomes.... Side note: We paid off our son's college education and our house is paid off LONG ago. I would say we are comfortable...
From what I"ve seen - ALL women should RUN from MLM's. Most of the members of the group do NOT care about your personal well-being. As I've said - SOBER UP ladies. Most of them are financial cults.....and RARELY does anyone make money...
If Charles Manson hadn't been in prison....believe me...he would have eventually formed an MLM...actually he sort of did, prior to the events of August 1969.
so you forced your wife to stay home? 🤔 maybe don't make it sound like such a one sided decision otherwise you just come off like some creepy controlling dude.
@@megsley Well...we BOTH agreed that she would stay home to raise our child. I told her, IF she really wanted to work after our son was out of kindergarten, she could go back if she really wanted to. She never did.
The small part about giving props to SAHMs = GOLD. Thank you 😭😭❤❤
😘
This is why I SPECIFICALLY why I did not become a coach.
I’ve been doing Beach Body for so long I have P90X on VHS.😂 I love the vids and I KNEW if I became a coach I’d end up hating coaching AND the company.
Good luck in your new endeavor.💋
I was in Amway heavily from 2007-2011. Everything you say on the video is accurate. Spot. On.
MLMs are the most stressful, controlling, soul sucking, personality altering thing...
Thanks for watching- so happy that we’re both free 💕
Fellow social worker here, it blows my mind all that you were doing at that time in your life, much less the emotions that go into the type of job you were doing as a social worker.
I’m so used to the chaos 😅 thanks for empathizing 💕
Gosh, you joined just as I was leaving. And, like you, I had similar motivations - contribute to my household, focus on something fun. I also saw red flags right away, but I was just so desperate to belong to something new after a cross country move. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Also, you’re still an amazing mom. 💟
I appreciate you for sharing your experience and opening up with us. It’s not always easy to be honest about ourselves and show our vulnerabilities, especially with complete strangers, but that is how we all learn from each other and grow. I’m sure your video has helped many not make the same mistakes. ♥️
Listening to people like you validates my own experiences with Herbalife. I thought I was the one failing.
I was in Herbalife too. What a scam. They tell you that there is no selling involved. That’s bull crap.
I was a part of Nerium so i TOTALLY get it. you broke this down so well and i love how you touched on the illusion of more free time. It's all a bunch of crap and no one truly cares about the person, they just care about if their wallets are lined.
I’m glad you got through it and can now tell your story. It’s so easy to get into difficult and unsustainable situations like that out of desperation or needing a change and I think it’s great you’re speaking up. Sending my support!
Thank you 😊
I love watching these videos!! I love that there are more and more of these every day!! These companies need to be exposed!! Thank you for being bold enough to post about it!
Thanks for watching! Hit that notification bell 😉😉😁
thank you so much for being authentic and being real! Takes a lot of courage ! I cannot believe that these companies are still around.
ugghhhh such a heart breaking story but thank you for sharing!!!! I've been targeted 3 times and I'm soooooo happy I found the antimlm community here- it literally saved me
Thank you so much for sharing !!! I had signed up like three weeks ago and I kept seeing red flags. It didn’t seem right for me so I cancelled this morning . This confirms my red flag feelings . Definitely relatable. Thank you for being vulnerable!
This video is SO good and necessary!! I also did the EXACT thing I did when my kids were little- our Beachbody stories are so similar 💕
A few things:
You are SO well spoken and you seem so kind hearted! I love listening to you speak, I could listen all day long!
I absolutely LOVE your shirt! 😂
Thank you for sharing your story! It’s rare you hear from someone who was at the top so this is helpful and informative. I hope you’re loving and living life much more now that you’re out! ❤️
It feels so good to have quality time with my family 😊😊 also feels great to not have to post every moment of my life on social media 😂😂
Thank you so much for your kind comment- totally made me smile!! And yea, the one with all the wedding dresses is one of my favorite episodes 😉😉
Good on you Brandy! I started hearing about MLM companies from Kiki Chanel and now watching your channel, (I subscribed BTW) .I am so sick of these slick people getting over and saying how RICH they are. It is nauseating.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, I have been bombarded to join Beachbody (at least twice a week). You have shed so so much light on this, thank you. Stay strong, you are awesome!
Girl don’t do it 😂
@@BrandyMurray I certainly will not!
Thank you for this video. I shared it in my FB because it will help my friends and family to grow out of the MLM nightmare. May the Lord bless you and keep you in Christ.
Thank you for being so real and honest with this video!
This video is amazing! Thank you for making it and keep up the good work, these videos are so needed right now!!!💕
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and supporting my channel 😊
You have a great personality for RUclips, I hope you post more! I'm so sorry you've had to experience some really difficult things, it's great that you've gotten out and are sharing your experiences, it can be difficult to be so vulnerable and yet it is so needed
thank you :) I've been meaning to make some more videos but things have been crazy over here :) Husband and I are house hunting and it's taking a lot of energy
@@BrandyMurray oof. Understandable. Boyfriend and I do the same. Also the washing machine broke down today 👌 (on a sunday in the midst of a pandamic. Fantaaastic)
Seeing this video gave me so much joy! I think it will give insight to a lot of people. Good for you! Loved the video :)
I’m so glad you liked it! I plan on doing more. Hope it helps lots of people 💕
I love looking at MLM videos. I’ve never been in an MLM and my mom always told me, DONT EVER JOIN THEM. I’ve had bad experiences even on the outside of them with consultants making me embarrassed about my look or routine by trying to get me to buy their makeup or skincare. I always find women like you so amazing that you have the courage to get out and speak out. Good for you! I followed you so excited for more videos to come :)
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. It breaks my heart to know that so many people end up joining because they lack community. I'm looking forward to more of your content!
Thanks new friend. 😊
Totally, they came close to hooking me by using my depression. I post fairly openly about it on Instagram, and get lots of messages from these coaches, but one in particular would play up things like we’ll help make your depression because you’ll be gaining so many friends if you join my team 🙄
AMAZING! You hit it right on the nose! Love that you came out and spoke your truth. Women and men need to be educated on both sides, on why MLMs are just plain not worth it! I was a Beachbody coach for about 6 months and oh boy in just that short amount of time the amount of unknown abuse I was being put through was ridiculous. I am so proud of you for ranking so high in the company and quitting. For those who don’t know Diamond is basically one of the high ranks before the star diamonds. Awesome video! Keep it up! 💕👏🏼👏🏼
THANK YOU so much for your love and support on this video. It's funny you say that about diamond too--- because the uplines did make such a huge thing of it (because it affects their star diamond ranks) but when I got there it was HELL trying to hold rank and it also wasn't worth all the stress. Definitely not a living wage- and only 2% (I think) make that rank. I was pretty disillusioned at that point.
I'm so glad that you got out too and I'm also so happy you didn't waste as much time as I did lol
I was close to joining It Works! several years ago, but I thank my dad for steering me away. I was also approached about BB, but turned it down on my own because I kinda knew it was an MLM and was doing just fine with free workouts - an still am! - on here. Thank you for sharing your story!
Overload us with your entire story!
I’m working on more 💕💕
Came to the comments to say the same! Lol. Can't wait to hear more.💚💚
@@BrandyMurray We're WAITING!!! Please post more!!!
@@jreed3620 I’ve been posting more! Lol did you subscribe??
@@BrandyMurray yes! im on your channel now! only see 2
I'm so happy for you for getting out. And I truly hope someone in an MLM or thinking about joining sees this video and decides to get out. You did such a good job explaining things.
Thank you 😊 definitely direct friends and family here if they want the scoop
Thank you so much for sharing your story. Just subscribed!! 😊
Every now and then as an empty nester, I use to think about joining these types of things, but then I see or read about MLM, and I run in the other direction!!!😳😳
Amazing video! Thanks so much for sharing your story, girl! Glad we’re free now ❤️❤️
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Loved this. I like how you included some of the things that benefitted you by doing Beachbody, because knowing there were some positives is wonderful. I was in a few MLMs and they always stressed me out. I stumbled upon an anti mlm video last year and ever since have been in support of this community. Nice job!!!! I look forward to more content :) Also, I love that tapestry!
Thanks Kelly! Thanks for watching and subscribing! 😊😊
It's great that lots of successful people are speaking out as some others are saying that unsuccessful people are jealous, putting other women (usually) down. Thanks so much for your video x
I'm journeying down the anti-MLM rabbit hole. Thanks for sharing your story
I wish i had your determination!! The fact that you were fitting allll of that into a day startong at 430... til i assume some nights 11pm is insane to me! But also I'm really glad you got out and started to see the light. This is an incredible journey to embark on and you are helping so many pplz
so glad you’re out and onto better things!!! ❤️
youre a very strong woman. thank you very much for sharing your story and spreading awareness! I commend you for knowing your worth even after all the harsdhip
So proud of you for sharing your story! Also love your shirt! ❤️
Thank you so much 😊 friends is awesome 👏🏻
I’m a waitress, I recently heard a conversation between 2 coaches that were picking apart the women on their team. I didn’t hear all of it, but a few people were too overweight, a few people had full time jobs and weren’t taking it seriously enough. I always keep my mouth shut when I hear things I don’t like but I was very tempted to say something.
People will always be judgemental. Ive been in Both sides: Trying to loose and trying to gain, and neither of it is pretty. no one know the struggle that person goes. i am on the Trying to loose right now and peole tell : you have to stop snacking: liiikkkee i Barelyy eattttt 😫😫😫 what im going to cut ? my coffee!?!??!?!
Eye opening!
@@misstaveras8028 hey, as one woman to another.. I lost 100 pounds 20 years ago and I've kept it off. I've seen this problem countless times and I ran into it myself when I thought I was plateau-ing. I know this won't be easy to hear, but I swear it's true. You're eating more than you think you are, or you're not exercising off as many calories as you think you are. Like take those cups of coffee: if you add anything to them, they can turn into calorie bombs! And most people snack and graze and nibble all day long without even remembering it all. Losing weight is very easy: eat fewer calories than you need. But so many people have trouble with accurate calorie counting. You're not a bad person if that's where you are! It's a great opportunity to figure out where you're missing calories! Once you figure it out, you'll see yourself shrink!
(That's what happened to me. I was so frustrated. I could not figure out what I was missing in my counts! Finally, my husband and I were watching a UK show called "Secret Eaters." I asked him if I was a secret eater. He said he'd noticed I was always nibbling while I cooked. He wondered if I'd taken those calories into my count. I didn't even remember doing that! But once I was aware, yes, I sure was eating hundreds of unaccounted for calories! I stopped doing that, and immediately broke through the plateau. So I'm a living example of how easy it is to miss calories.)
Good luck! You can do this.
@@astarryeyedgirl Thanks so much for taking your time and share your wisdom. Im def hoing to open up to "over eating" topic. After the kids i became an emotional Nibbler, Everytime i feel like yelling a piece of bread help it out. I've cut it out, but may be im doing it unconciously. right now im trying 20-4 intermittent fasting, what you are sharing is giving me hope on this.
@@misstaveras8028 I think the easiest effective exercise for calorie burning is jumping jacks. You can do it anywhere as it's an on-the-spot exercise. Even 3 minutes can be tiring and calorie burning. I try to do 3 minute jumping jacks, 3 times a day. Give it a try and see if it helps! Also vary the speed of the jumping jacks, do some medium paced ones, and throw in 10 super fast ones from time to time. Don't just keep same constant speed! Sometimes these super fast short burst exercises help towards even quicker weight-loss.
Well done getting out of the cult!
SERIOUSLY! It's funny you say that.. my next video is about how I think MLMs are a cult lol :)
And I applaud you for openly admitting you were neglecting your kids/family... Not alot of huns will admit they do.. I've seen so many videos of huns talking about growing their teams with their kids crying in the background wanting attention from their mom
It’s hard to admit... even now. But never again
DEAR BRANDY!!! YOU ARE S BREATH OF BEAUTIFUL FRESH RIGOROUSLY HONEST AIR!!!!! You are amazing God bless you when an amazing daughter, ,Sister, mother, wife, ex-wife whatever you’re amazing sharper than any two edge sword keep bringing the truth straight forward you are gifted extremely and thank you so much for shining the light on what’s dark! God bless you and your family
Glad to hear another voice in the anti-MLM community! 👏👏
Thank you for the welcome and for watching this video :)
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so happy you got out and hopefully your channel will help other people do the same.
I hope so too
I genuinely feel So awful for what you went through it. That’s Awful. I would be furious too. You gave So freaking much . I am grateful I have had the experience I have, and it’s been good & BAD. I know the type of coaches you’re talking about. And most of them are exactly what you shared about. I will stand behind the good pieces of bb. Thank you again for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your story! Welcome to the community!! 🤗
Thank you 😊
Welcome to the community, subbed and notifications :) Badass that you can share personal experience from the inside
Thanks so much for sharing your story. Very happy you got out of that terrible situation. Love & hugs
🥰
Thank you for sharing your story about this Diamond Beachbody. I do believe what you put out for helping others to be aware of this situation. I have question one of the Diamond Beachbody Coach online used name of many names to draw women in to make money !
Yes they are using many methods to draw the stay home moms work for them, sadly, please continue to help others to see what is going on with this 1% dreamer .
Loved this! Also side note - people who are personal trainers get pretty peeved when people who aren’t NASM-certified call themselves coaches just something to think about if you keep the name !
Gotcha! Yeah that makes sense. It’s hard to break the habit of starting my videos without saying “hey everyone this is coach Brandy,” cuz I did it for so long 😅 and I have 20K followers on FB so FB won’t let me change my name on there. Maybe I’ll do away with the coach brandy fb page once YT grows and I’ll just open up with “hey everyone, this is Brandy” 🥰 thanks so much for watching
@@BrandyMurray you could also go ahead and get certified! It would really utilize your previous experience and open so many other professional/career options for you
NASM isn't the only personal training group that certifies. You do not have to be a personal trainer to be a coach. Personal trainer also doesn't equal coach. You can be a coach for anything. High school baseball coaches don't have to be NASM certified to coach baseball. Food for thought.
@@sydkbrown agreed I'm a CPT and I'm not offended.. a doula is a pregnancy "coach" .. now if she said certified coach that wud be annoying lol..
Girl! I’m so glad you got pissed. I do my best work when my emotions get pumping. My survival skills kick in ...I come out swinging. I know my purpose. I know my worth. And as the song say “cain’t nobody tell me nuthin’”
Yaaass queen!! That’s exactly it
Hello! I am so proud of you for sharing your story.
Thank God you got out! Good luck to you and thank you for spreading the word about these awful schemes!
So sorry you went through this. It’s good to hear this. I have been working out with beachbody for two years but have never been a coach n I was thinking about it. But now I’m not so sure.
I really loved the workouts when I was involved in the company. Definitely kept me on track and they were fun (although after doing them for almost 5 years they got a bit repetitive :) ) I'm sure you can tell from my video but I would advise you not do coaching from my personal experience. Good luck with everything :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Make more videos, please, it was so interesting to watch.❤
This was a really engaging video! Thanks for telling your story
You’re welcome and thank you for watching 💕
I am really proud of you for doing this in the first place and chronicling it here...these truths need to be shared. Gullible, hard working moms get sucked in the same way you were sucked in and the way they raise their kidlets suffers...their families suffer and they are never able to reach the financial heights that their up line enjoy. Enjoy...because of you! So, you’re brave and I applaud you and I’ve subbed and will even watch ads for you to help you succeed here...try and let the negative ways this mlm hurt you fade away and replace it with the new, happy life you’re going to live now. 🥰
Thank you for your support! 💕
@@BrandyMurray my pleasure!
I have had so many friends over the years ( I'm a grandma now) but, when I had my 3 kids so many women tried to get me to sell amway or herbal life or Nu skin or Mary Kay! they'd all try to convince me that I'd have more time, but I could see with my own eyes what they had to do, and I knew I would never ever want that for myself... thank God You got smart!
“If your dad has a stroke you need to be by his bedside sending out invites.” (15:45) That is shocking. What is wrong with these people!? What kind of value system is this?!
I really appreciate This perspective and share. I have been an active coach & non active. I simply love the workouts & shakes. I agree that any successful coach Works SO MUCH time. I’m not anti BB. I believe you should take what works for you, and leave the rest. I leave all the “coaching” but embrace the lifestyle (healthy nutrition & the workouts)
But you can get workouts for free and it's better to eat real food anyway
I’d like to hear more about escaping the abusive marriage. Feel that one
I have it in the queue of videos to make 💕 hit that notification bell
Love that you're sharing your story about your experience with BB! Watched twice. Subbing! The Anti-MLM community appreciates you! (Love your shirt BTW 😊)
It means so much to have you watch, I’ve been following your videos for a while now! Thank you so much for watching 😊 and thanks for all you do to spread awareness
While I enjoy some of Beachbody's workouts (especially the earlier ones), I cancelled my BOD account because of the way they run their company and treat the coaches. I may pull out one of my Slim in 6 DVDs once in a while, but I'll never buy anything from them ever again.
I'm sorry for the way you were treated by your upline. She was truly awful to you.
Thanks for sharing your story. It was a really interesting watch. Sorry you had to go through this... I'm sure your words will resonate with many..
There was definitely growth through the experience but yep- super happy to be done 😊 thanks so much for taking the time to listen
Thank you so much for sharing!! This we’ll help so many people cx
I hope so!
Thank you for sharing your story! I think people who are deep into the "cult" would really benefit from hearing about your experience. The fact that you were able to identify the reasons why you were vulnerable is especially important, it is horrible that these companies prey on these vulnerabilities. I will admit I actually like some of the BB workouts, especially the early ones. I still have the T25 DVDs that have been awesome during the pandemic, I actually bought them on Ebay haha. However I would much rather support a legitimate business that supports their employees and does not exploit by using a barely legal pyramid scheme.
You seem like a really genuine and sweet person. Good on you for getting out!
Thank you 😊
I really enjoyed your perspective 👍 thank you for being honest. Also you are super easy to listen to. The pacing, the tone of voice, the structure... Everything is pretty satisfying 😊👍
I am still amazed how you even managed to build a relationship with your then to be second husband while living such an exhausting life and barely having any time on your hand
Thank you so much for you comment- that’s a great idea for a future video 😁
Ok the stay at home mom pep talk and your story about how your x husband was emotionally abusive had me crying. Thank you for sharing that. I can relate wanting to contribute financially to feel valued 💯 percent
I thought about getting into life Coach, but hearing your story helps me for another approach.
Thank you for sharing. 4 years ago I was thinking of becoming a bb coach. Had a one to one call with Danielle Natoni. When I worked out the figures and realised I was in a deficit straight away I was like ‘no’. I love some of their workouts and have them on dvd (I’m old! 😂) but now have been weight training for over a year and love it so much more. 🇬🇧
I know EXACTLY how you feel & how busy you actually get (& I don't even have kids or a job like what you have), but I know in MY experience, it was very time consuming... hell, even what I currently do now is time consuming! But atleast now, I do it for ME & not for the dollar I was never making!
I was a BB Coach for 7 YEARS & didn't make shit for money; but for the same reason as you, I was determined... still didn't get anywhere. In fact, it made me even more depressed because everybody ignored me on Social Media (still do). Friends & family didn't support me or even share my posts. They all got/get tired of seeing my progress pics, so I would get NOTHING for reactions. And what's even more sad is even tho I knew all this, I did like what I was doing. I only quit because I was paying MORE IN than what I was making... FOR THE ENTIRE 7 YEARS! And just yesterday, I re-enrolled to try again (after quitting in 2019), because none of my actions changed... I still work out; in fact, I like to work out & promote living a healthy active lifestyle; but when it comes down to actually SELLING a product, forget it, NONE of my friends or family ever listened to me before... it would be the same thing all over again... A WASTE OF MONEY. And I already did it for 7 years when I tried with Beachbody before. -- Why couldn't I have had this talk with myself BEFORE I jumped the gun & STUPIDLY resigned up, only to turn right around & cancel it an hour later!? Because I'm an idiot. *NOT DOING THAT AGAIN!* 😒🙄😫... Don't worry, I called Beachbody this morning to make sure my Coach Cancellation Request went through & to see if I could get my $40 back. They said yes, they see my cancellation request & the guy said I would get refunded.
I think we were on the same “team” except I was under your upline’s ps coach. I feel like your story and name were talked about by my former upline! Thank you for sharing your story either way because MLMs need to be stopped, especially while watching my former upline sticking with it.
Girl I would be so curious to hear more about that! Connect with me on fb 😊 Brandy Murray (Hays)
I swear I’m not trying to be nosy.. and yet I am.. lol. Would anyone be willing to say who this upline was?
Thank you for your cautionary tale, I was just about to get involved in one.
i’m really really happy for you 🥲
You said it! "Paying me in peanuts" - my boyfriend had to talk some sense into me with a similar expression of, "but for what? They're paying you literal pennies." And this was in a similar conversation that you had with your counselor. He was like, "you can get paid pennies and we barely spend time with each other, or you cannot do that, let me make the money and we still have time to spend together and with the kids." At first I was thinking what a manipulative thing to say, but then I realized... wait... he's right. I was becoming MISERABLE doing ALL THE THINGS, but for what?? To be paid pennies, lose great connections and friends because of how gross I was coming across in messages, all for literal pennies.
I was a BB coach also I did it for two years and I agree with all you said. I became healthy, leaned out and buffed up 💪🏾but the business side of things IMO were getting grimy and I was like I have a conscience I cannot keep rolling these women for money and selling them on pipe dreams just so I can make Emerald and keep my status so I walked
“If you’re going through a divorce, you need to post that & be super vulnerable so people relate to you and ✨buy shake-ology✨” lol I’d that sentence doesn’t put this stuff into perspective idk what will😂
🤦🏻♀️ right?!
Thank you for sharing your story. I can totally relate to what happened to you. My upline coach was much the same as yours and EVERY DAY she would message me about hitting diamond. I ALMOST got there. I was really close, but it didn't happen, and she was pissed because she wanted to hit 10 star elite or something and walk across the stage at summit. We were good friends also, but she became totally money hungry and that killed our friendship. She actually quit BB before I did, an wanted me to come with her on her new venture to which I made it clear I was NOT interested. I was already considering quitting myself. Anyway, she pretty much dropped me. So much for good friends. We couldn't even have a regular conversation because it would ALWAYS circle around back to BB and my business and why wasn't I diamond, and who else was I recruiting etc. It got to be too much. Quitting BB was the best thing I ever did for my own peace of mind. I did enjoy being a coach, but it stopped being fun.
I'm very late but just found your channel. And I'm here for the Friends shirt. The one with all the wedding dresses ! :)
YES that's one of my fave episodes :)
Thank you for this video. I started a weightloss journey using beachbody, but I pretty much hit play then turned the app off. But I was posting about my journey on my RUclips channel and mentioned beachbody off and on.... A beachbody coach tried to recruit me and I have been reluctant because my channel is enough of a job on it's own without another platform to post on. But seeing stories like yours really motivate me to remain disinterested in ever becoming a "coach" and I have stopped mentioning beachbody at all as a part of my weightloss journey. As I don't want to send any traffic there way as much as I actually like the workouts.
The workouts are phenomenal- I’m really grateful that I started doing them. But the business model is terrible. I can’t support Beachbody anymore because of the way the company treats its distributors. Not to mention- there are plenty of free workouts right here on RUclips and as long as you’re moving your body- you’re taking care of yourself 💕 happy to hear that you’ve been keeping up with your journey 😊
@@BrandyMurray ❤️
I wasn’t going to comment, but I have to say.... I really like your personality, and LOVE your honesty. I think you’re amazing, and so proud at how far you have come in your emotional growth, 😘
I’m glad you commented 🥰 thank you so much for watching
I REALLY love what you said. Awesome !! Keep it up....
You just seem so genuine and like such a great person and mama! New subscriber here 🤍💕
Thanks Jodi!!
Wow! Keep your head up kid I think what you are doing is going to help a lot of people and maybe change some lives! New subscriber here
Thank you and welcome!!
I was on the BB bandwagon for 5 years. I loved just being a member and doing my workouts. I decided to join as a coach because I loved it so much. There is no way to actually make money unless you’re “scamming” people and like you said- basically working it 24/7. I stopped being a coach and went back to just using BOD but my coaching experience kinda left a bad taste in my mouth from listening to the group calls, I didn’t even do many of them. It’s really heartbreaking because I LOVED the workout program and the “Netflix” of exercise set up. I recently just got an Echelon bike for something new to try. The app has other workouts and I’m enjoying that now. Although I may eventually do the yearly Bod membership again in the future without all the other garbage. It’s just sad that I can love it so much but hate it at the same time.
I completely resonate with your last sentence. I, too, love them and hate them at the same time. I do give Beachbody some props for their workouts, and I love Shaun T! But I can’t get myself to do the workouts when I think about how much Beachbody stole from me. I canceled my BOD membership and I haven’t looked back. There are also plenty of free workouts on RUclips… That are just as good😉 but I don’t judge anyone who stays on BOD.
I never knew BB was an MLM I honestly thought it was just a work out program until I started noticing so many of my friends started becoming “coaches” and I’m like? Since when have you been a fitness coach LOL
We also lost almost 15k over 2 years. We were absolutely crushed.
Same here
I have been a victim more than once...bad on me. But, I have learned now and I'm so livid at how they take advantage of women- especially moms who just want to offer something to the life of their family. Good for you for realizing early! Hugs!
It’s ok girl you live and learn 💕 the fact that you tried shows you have amazing determination. Just channel it into something better 😉
thanksfor sharing this! Been doing the videos long before they blew up in their MLMing and then I switched to Les Mills. I met a coach on IG and she attempted to nurture me to become a part of her "tribe" but I said I used to to INSANITY and it effed up my knees. Still she was persistent, completely dismissing the fact that I can no longer do any jumps and HIIT exercises, smh. Thanks for sharing your story!
yep. The huns are taught how to "combat objections," which pretty much means any time you say no and give a valid reason they're going to argue with you.
Thank you for this.
Hey coach, sorry you went through it. But in the end, you took L the so others won't have to. This video alone will save the livelihood off alot of people in the future! Thanks for sharing your story and keeping it 💯
love this mama! I think above all our kids deserve our attention and there's so much pressure to make an abundant amount of income, but I think they prefer a mom on a major budget then a mom on her phone.... thanks for sharing your truth.
Yes they do 💕
I’m so sorry this happened to you they use you as a tool but i’m also super happy and proud of you for realizing how bad they treated you and how you stopped them from doing so.❤
Ahh I love your intro song 😄 Awesome video 💕
thanks for watching Elle :)
Thank you for acknowledging SAHM's!!! I have been approached by "Huns" from all sorts of mlm's. Makeup, skincare, fitness, jewelry, etc. When they say "You're a stay at home Mom, you mean to tell me you don't have an hour a day to work your business?" I respond with a 🤣 and "Clearly you don't understand just how busy I am every day. Any free time I get goes to my kids. Whether it's reading a book to them, baking something with them, playing a game, coloring, taking a walk, etc, my free time is theirs. I have CHOSEN that for the time being. I don't want a job for even an hour a day. I'm glad it's working for you but I'm not interested in purchasing from you because I won't add that into my budget and I don't want to work for you or myself. Thanks but no thanks."
🙌🏻
I'm glad to see you've joined the anti-MLM community. MLMs are so predatory.
