Free Coaching – Commonly Asked Questions:
Q: What do you do as a coach?
What I do is coach and help folks for free who are doing Beachbody programs. Just so you know going into this, I DO make a commission off any Beachbody programs folks buy, but the person never pays me for helping them and I never require a person to buy something to get my help. There are a lot of people I am helping who simply had a program like P90X given to them by someone who didn’t want it. Additionally I never make a recommendation to anyone where I don’t fully believe it will help that person. My coach was totally upfront and honest with me, and I wish to model that in my own business.
I can help people in a couple of ways. First, and by far my favorite, is that I run small online groups for people who are wanting to get healthy. All of these folks are doing some sort of Beachbody program, but I place them in online groups where I mentor them, send them daily challenges, and daily tips. This is BY FAR the best way to get involved as pretty much everyone who completes a group with me gets results. They may not be at their end goal, but they DO make progress… everyone does! And dont worry… if you’re concerned that you may not be fit enough to do a program… DONT fret! There are programs for just about everyone and I have faith we could pick you something that you’d love and were able to complete.
The second way I can help is by simply answering questions for people who are going through the program and struggling, or simply have a question. They contact me, just as you have and I answer their questions to the best of my ability. They do all of the work alone, and I simply guide them where needed.
Just so you know… I am NO expert. I am simply a guy who received help (just like I mentioned above) from my coach, and I wish to pay that forward. I have learned an absolute TON through my own fitness transformation, and I simply teach people what I have learned. This process works as I have personally witness many of lives changed from doing it.
Again, I believe in what I do and I am more than happy to help you where I can. You are always free to contact me if you have questions.
Q: How do I make you my coach?
A: Well, if you don’t have a coach yet, just click this link RIGHT HERE! Next…you will be asked to fill out a little bit of information, and once you complete this step I will automatically become YOUR new coach.
Q: How do you benefit from being my coach?
A: My promise to you is that I will always “shoot straight” with you. I know you hear people all the time talk about honesty and integrity, but these two characteristics are centered around my faith, and something I have tried to build my life upon. The way that I benefit from being YOUR COACH is that I earn a commission off of any Beachbody products that you would purchase, whether it be a program, supplement, or equipment. This compensation helps for the amount of time I spend writing articles, making videos, and answering your questions (all of which I love by the way!). This compensation is ONLY earned if you purchase your products through this site (teamIRONMAN) or through the teambeachbody.com website. I very much appreciate those of you who have taken the time to do this for me.
Now that you know how I am compensated; you can rest assured that I will NEVER recommend you purchase a product just so that I can make a profit. The products I recommend are ones that I use and have paid for with my own money. As some of you may know…I am a high school science teacher, and we all know how generously paid teachers are today….not! = ) Believe me when I say this… I KNOW that money is not easy to come by these days, and I will do my best to make sure that you get a great transformation while getting the most bang for your buck!
Q: I already have a coach, but would like to be coached by you. Can I switch coaches?
A: Yes, and it’s actually really easy!!! You simply have to send a one line email to coachrelations@teambeachbody.com telling them that you want MICHAEL SMITH, coach # 105575 at mike@teamIRONMAN.com to be your coach. Make sure to include your FULL NAME and email address and to copy me on the email so I can follow up.
Q: Why should I make you my coach?
A: As your coach, I will be here to help motivate and support you through you new fitness journey! I know all about the struggles and “temptations” you will be facing. Being plugged into a community like teamIRONMAN, and having a coach (ME!), will only help you reach your goals. I have been driven to work out ever since I was in middle-school, so I have many many years under my belt. Yea, I know…. I was injured, gained all that weight, and didnt work out for a couple of years…but I have forgotten all about that now! = )
Whether your goal is to get ripped and be able to do 30 pull-ups, or run a 4-something mile (yes, I’ve done this!)… I have the experience and knowledge to help you achieve your goals. Throughout my own transformation, and using Beachbody products, I have become so passionate about programs (such as P90X) that I want to help others achieve their goals and get as FIRED UP about this as I am! I sincerely hope that you join us, and make me your coach.
Thank for reading!
