How Do I Buy Shakeology?

Once my mind was made up to try Shakeology, my next step was deciding to make the leap to buy my first shipment. Shakeology is a featured product of Beachbody. If that name doesn't ring a bell for you, you may have remembered stumbling on products like P90X or Insanity. These workout series are Beachbody products.

Shakeology can be purchased in bulk by buying a bag, or in individual packets. Since you receive
more product by buying the bag, I decided that was my only option. The next step is figuring out the flavor to try. Chocolate made the most sense for me to try, since my friends raved about it.



I found that after adding my chocolate bag to my cart, my total was around $130 for a one time
shipment.

I knew Shakeology was going to cost me money, but this seemed pretty steep. Since I consider
myself pretty internet savy and never like to pay full price for anything, I started to search for ways I could save money on this product.

Turns out there are a few ways you can save money on Shakeology.

1. Join the Beachbody club as a club member. By joining you can save 10% off the retail price of the product. Sign-up is easy and why not if you can save money and gain several additional benefits free!

2. Join the Beachbody club as a coach. By joining you can save 25% on Shakeology, plus 25% off all other Beachbody products. Sign-up is easy, but you are billed monthly for coach
membership. The first month is charged $39.95, with additional monthly charges of $14.95. Even though the price is higher to become a coach, you will save around $15 monthly buying Shakeology as a coach because of the 25% discount and free shipping.

I decided to join as a Beachbody coach because I wanted the long-term benefits of discounts on Shakeology and other Beachbody products. The philosophy spoke to me that becoming a coach
should inspire you to aspire to better physical health. I want to be better physically, mentally, and give back to my body with the nutrition it deserves.

After signing up as a coach, I selected my bulk bag of Chocolate Shakeology and was ready for my first shipment. Not soon after I placed my order, I received an order confirmation with shipment tracking details. I was pleased to learn that my shipment was only a few days from arrival. I was ready to try this product!

Introductions - Why Shakeology? Why Now?

Why Shakeology?

After giving birth to my 3rd child I found myself in a mommy funk. Having three
babies in the course of 3 or 4 years was a whirlwind. In and out of pregnancy I
was able to find and achieve fitness goals, but never able to pursuit them to
my best ability. Now that my childbirth journey has ended, I'm seeking out a
healthier, fit version of myself.

I don't consider myself a runner. I consider myself an athlete. I love being
active, but it has not come naturally to me. Back in high school, I was the
girl at the end of the finishers for the mile run. I remember how I would dread
the day we ran the mile. My finish was always over 12:00. I didn't even run the
entire mile. I would have to take breaks and walk along the way. In my newlywed
stage of life I decided to get fit, and found an interest in running. I joined
Weight Watchers to shed my extra weight, and ran my first 5k race. I finished
my race at 27:50 and never thought I would see a day that I could be successful
at running later in life.

I found a love of running, and a love of being fit and spending time outdoors.
I'm ready to rediscover myself physically and be successful in my journey.

Having three young children is exhausting. I find myself tired at the end of the day.
I can usually keep up with my kids just fine, but I'm always trying to stay
awake throughout my day. I'm a full-time, working mother. Although I'm doing
well to watch my eating patterns, I have found myself to be a snacker
throughout the day.

One day at work I stumbled on a couple of coworkers raving about Shakeology.
Of course I was not familiar with Shakeology. I needed them to explain. After
our conversation, I decided to read a few online articles and do my homework.
What I found sounded too good to be true.

What was stopping me from trying Shakeology?

Well, the price.Why is it that things that are good for us, usually have a higher price tag? I'm
not quite sure why the world works this way, but regardless I decided it was
time for me to take the plunge. I needed to start feeling like the mother I wanted to be. I really have high hopes for the product.

What were my first steps in my Shakeology journey?

Well, I decided to sign-up as a Beachbody Coach so that I could save the most money
on the product for the long run. I will explain more about this decision in another blog post on the subject.

Why blog about your journey?

I decided that it would be nice to have a blog to journal my progress. As I did a
lot of my online research it seemed like it was hard to find direct answers to
my questions on the product that were not straight from their website. I wanted
a "real" opinion from a "regular" person like myself. Since I was unable to find that resource, I decide to journal my journey so you can read for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
I hope you enjoy my blog and reading about my adventures with Shakeology.

I have high hopes for the product and hope that I see positive results.
