The Impact of Home Fitness Parties
Over the past four months Tammie and I have been hosting Team Beachbody Home Fitness Parties. We initially set out to simply provide an opportunity for our Coaches to invite their friends to hear about Team Beachbody and all it has to offer. Over time we have found that it has met several needs along the way:

• It's a great way for new Coaches to come and learn more about Team Beachbody and surround themselves with other Coaches to learn from.
   
• It's a comfortable environment for Coaches to invite any of their friends who are considering purchasing Team Beachbody products or learning about the business opportunity.
   
• It's a tremendous training environment to teach Coaches how to share Team Beachbody one-on-one or in a larger group environment (getting their feet wet as they share the opportunity together with those that they bring to the meeting).
   
• We have taken advantage of the time following the meeting to further train new and experienced Coaches in various aspects of the business.
   
• It has been so fun to see a team of local Coaches grow together in knowing each other and rallying around each other in the pursuit of achieving their health and fitness goals, and, in developing their Team Beachbody businesses. We are not just a team now, but also a family.

Our Party Format
Set-up: The format of our parties is very basic and simple, so that any one of our Coaches can take it, personalize it, and feel comfortable enough to do it on their own. We arrange our living room so that it has a very comfortable and informal feel. We set our chairs up in a circle, display the complete Team Beachbody Showcase Pack, other workout videos, and several of the Team Beachbody supplements on the dining room table, have one of the workout videos playing in the background, and serve refreshments to loosen the mood as people mingle and get to know each other before we begin.

Opening: We always try to start the meeting on time by welcoming our Coaches and guests and then introducing ourselves as the hosts. A handout is given that has the agenda, dates about future events, and a place to write questions and notes. We go around the room and have everyone share their name and what they would like to improve upon with their health. This immediately makes what you are about to share in regards to Team Beachbody personal to everyone there.

Core Presentation: We then share that Team Beachbody has the vision, products, and support system in place to help them with their health goals. Immediately we play Carl Daikeler's "vision" message video that comes in the Team Beachbody Coach Kit. And we follow it by sharing our personal stories about how Team Beachbody has changed our lives through the success we have had with Team Beachbody products and the fun we have had through the relationships we have developed that have supported us in our health and fitness journey.

At this time we begin sharing the four basic areas of opportunities that Team Beachbody offers: Fitness (fitness products), Fuel (supplement products), Fun (Team Beachbody Game, WOWY, Team Beachbody Club, Transformation Contest), and Freedom (business opportunity). During each section we give a brief overview of each area along with the benefits. We make it fun by making it interactive and asking questions like:

• How many of you have seen one of our products on an infomercial or have one at home? If so, which one?
   
• Do we get all of the vitamins we need in our daily diets? Why or why not?
   
• Who here wants to win some cash?
   
• What would be the first thing you would do if money was not an issue and you could do anything you wanted?
   
• We also have someone share during each section how Team Beachbody and its products have impacted their lives personally in one of the areas.

Closing: To close the party we share that Team Beachbody would love to help you meet your health and fitness goals. If you are interested in any of our fitness and/or supplement products, playing the free game, joining the Team Beachbody Club, or starting your own business by becoming a Coach, please talk to the person that brought you.

Then we close the meeting, allowing people to browse through the products and leave. We also let them know that they are more than welcome to stay and ask any questions that they have from the presentation. We find that everyone usually sticks around for 15-30 minutes asking questions and talking about a variety of things.

Impact On Business Growth
These parties have impacted our team's business growth in several ways:

• It provides a great opportunity to share Team Beachbody with friends and family in a comfortable, fun, and non-threatening atmosphere.
   
• It is a tremendous training ground for new and experienced coaches.
   
• As we share about the workouts and supplements we find that Coaches and others will order products shortly after the meetings or the next day.
   
• It has produced many new Coach sign-ups.
   
• They create an atmosphere where Coaches work together towards their common goals.
   
• Presentation & business tools, meeting & event ideas, and other creative ways to grow our Team Beachbody businesses have come about by simply sharing ideas with each other.
   
• It has also gotten several Coaches on the sideline back into the game and active in building their business knowing that they have help and support to achieve their goals.
