2013 Beachbody Success Club Trip – Disney World
2013 Beachbody Success Club Trip – Disney World
Since I started out as a Team Beachbody Coach, I’ve been able to travel to numerous places for “work” – Las Vegas for Summit, Los Angeles, The Bahamas, Dallas, Laguna Beach and just recently, Orlando for the 2013 Success Club Trip. I never would have imagined I would be presented with the opportunity when I first started P90X.
Like last year, I decided to bring my whole family. My daughters were especially excited to visit Epcot.
We really started things off with a bang with the opening celebration and pirate themed party. Great DJ’s for both adults and kids were there to provide entertainment. The food that Beachbody provides is always great as well. Yes, we even eat dessert!
I didn’t get a chance to attend much of the business session piece but heard great feedback from the info that was provided. We were able to hit Animal Kingdom and Epcot on our designated days of theme parks. We also took part of a day to visit Blizzard Beach and go down some water slides.
As much as I liked them, a full day at a theme park is more exhausting than a Shaun T workout!
Celebrity trainers Leandro Carvalho and Shaun T were there for early morning workouts right in front of Epcot. We capped it off with a Shakeology breakfast.
That was high energy being able to workout with all my Beachbody peeps and the trainers. More detail was also released on Shaun T’s new T25 workout program. It is scheduled to be released in June of 2013 and consist of 25 minute workouts for 5 days a week.
It will be a great workout, especially for those busy professionals. I had the opportunity to try out of the workouts from T25 and it was touch since it has minimal breaks, but really liked it.
Forming a strong friendship with so many from all over the country and then being able to hang out with them for a weekend is priceless. It’s the part that makes coaching way more than just about P90X, INSANITY or Shakeology.
One of my favorite memories was taking my daughter to see France at Epcot. She is artistic and wants to see Paris. This was the next best thing until the day that she gets to see the real deal!
It’s tough to identify my favorites but another would definitely be watching the fireworks and light show at Epcot with 3D glasses and seeing Beachbody’s hologram logo images trickle down from the warm Florida sky.
One of the really cool things that Beachbody does at the celebration events is the entertainment they organize for the kids. At the closing party they had s hula hoop competition for the kids. It was a huge hit and brought out some incredible talent.
We took some extra time after the long weekend to stay with a friend in Orlando. We hit the beach, hung out at the pool and I even watched some movies. I was able to completely unwind and relax.
I even had a few new experiences on this trip. I tried oysters and alligator tail for the very first time. They were good!
Traveling does make it more challenging to stay on track with my nutrition and workouts. Good thing I was able to do the live Shaun T workouts! After the event I did what I could; jog on one day and a self designed workout the other. All about balance is my motto. It will be nice to get back to clean eating!
As I say good-bye to Orlando, I look forward to Las Vegas in June for the Beachbody Summit and next years Caribbean cruise for the 2014 Success Club Trip!
Are you in the fitness community and love to help others? If so, I am looking for leaders who want to do the same as me and get rewarded along the way.
Shakeology Cleanse – Modified Day 2
My modified Shakeology cleanse:
I have been having 3 Shakeology meals and snacks each day. For snacks, I’ve been having all fruit, veggies and tea. I have been doing my workouts as well. The standard 3 day Shakeology cleanse requires no workouts.
So far I am down 1 pound with an overall goal of “just” 2. My real goal is to jump start my metabolism even more and pump up the energy.

Shakeology Taste Test – New Customer Approved Chocolate vs “Old” Shakeology
Shakeology Taste Test
It’s time to put the old and new side by side and try them both out. I can hear the deep voice of Michael Buffer introducing both prize fighters…. “Let’s get ready to rummmmble!” The older “Superfood Formula” and the new “Customer Approved” Chocolate Shakeology are put to the test.
I decided to sample both for myself and blended up both formulas with the exact same ingredients. I taste tested it and had my wife do the same. She is known in our house to have the super human taste buds.
The Results of the Shakeology Taste Test
Lisa’s comments on the new Customer Approved Shakeology:
“Not sharp or bitter”
“No after taste”
“…vanilla, almond or almost orange undertones”
Lisa’s comments on the older formula:
“Bitter”
“Sharp after taste”
“Not sweet”
The votes are in and the feedback has been confirmed to coincide with the panel. Beachbody created a group of 2,500 people to give honest feedback on what they thought of the formula and how it could be improved. They came up with the new Customer Approved Chocolate Shakeology. Careful considerations went into improving it in 5 specific areas: aroma, taste, sweetness, chocolateyness and texture. Go here to read about the specifics of what criteria was used to make the changes. Want to take the Shakeology taste test for yourself? Message me here.
