Wait, Who Am I?
Ok, hold up. Before I actually tell you all about this business, let me take 2 minutes just to introduce myself. Who I am is a big part of why I am so passionate about sharing this opportunity with other women.
So, my name is Sarra and I am, first and foremost, a wife and mom. My husband and I live in Calgary, Alberta with my 16 year old niece, 11 year old stepson, and 3 year old daughter. I had an extremely unhealthy pregnancy - including gaining 70 pounds - followed by struggles with postpartum anxiety and depression. Prior to my daughter being born, I was a high school English teacher on a reserve in northern Alberta and I had only lived in Calgary for one month before she was born.
I was lost. I was eating my feelings and I felt miserable, exhausted, and uncomfortable in my own body. One afternoon in August of 2015, I was sitting on the couch nursing my daughter, when I saw an infomercial for a home fitness & nutrition program. I went on my phone and ordered it, desperate to find SOMETHING that would help me feel like ME again.
The next day, I got an email from a woman named Sarah; she was my coach. She was also a new mom and a teacher. She invited me to join a support and accountability group for women who were doing these programs. I accepted the invite and, for the first time in my life, I finished a workout program from start to finish! I lost 9 pounds and 11 inches in those 3 weeks. I went on to lose over 40 pounds with the support of the community we created.

I wanted to pay it forward. I wanted to take my teaching background and use it to help other women find the same balance, happiness, and community that I had found. I became a lifestyle coach in October of 2015 and the rest, as they say, is history! When my maternity leave ended (we get a whole year here in Canada!), I was able to stay home with my daughter and not return to work as a full-time teacher, thanks to my coaching income. It has been the biggest blessing - not just the income, but the accountability to staying healthy, the friends I've made, and the places I've traveled. I can't wait to share all about it with you!
Lifestyle Coaching is about 3 things...
Being a lifestyle coach really comes down to just 3 things: living a healthy and fulfilling life, inspiring others to do the same, and supporting them on their journey.
- Living a healthy & fulfilling life - We do this simply through working out, eating in a balanced, nutritious way, drinking superfood-packed vitamin shakes, and focusing on self-improvement through personal development (whether that's listening to podcasts, reading a book that will help us reach our goals, taking an online course...).
- Inspiring others - As we are focused on reaching our own goals, we share our lifestyle on social media. This can look different for every person, but we train our coaches to share authentically from a genuine place. No sleazy car salesmen here, sorry! as you share your own journey, you will inspire others as they see you losing weight, feeling more energized, and all around happier based on the inner work you do. They will come to you and ask what on earth it is that you're doing and how they can do it to!
- Supporting them on their journey - This is where the fun happens! You get to help people join our virtual fit clubs, where they get to learn how to work out with at-home fitness programs and follow a balanced meal plan. All along the way, you are there to help and motivate them!
But, But, But...
You might be thinking, ok, so I don't have to be a fitness expert, but ______________. I've heard all kinds of worries and fears, so let me break down some of the most common ones for you!
- I'm not at my goal weight / or / I don't have a lot of weight to lose. Either way? Honestly? It doesn't matter! I became a lifestyle coach with 30 pounds to lose. I shared my story authentically every single day and that allowed people to see that what I was doing... worked! There are successful coaches on our team who haven't lost a single pound - and they share their story and successes authentically every single day as well! They are gaining muscle, beating anxiety and depression, finding a community that they never had before... Whatever the case may be and wherever you are in your life, you can help inspire and motivate others!
- I don't have a large network. That's ok! Neither did I - I was that person who would do a mass-delete of Facebook friends every couple of months, I had a private Instagram page, and I didn't really know anything about social media besides sharing pictures of my adorable baby. Look, we teach you everything you need to know about growing your social media AND using attraction marketing to find your future besties. Fun fact: we have a successful coach on our team who didn't even HAVE Facebook until she signed up to be a coach!
- I don't have time. Oh, friend. I get it. But look. There are 168 hours in a week; you need 7 to start out at building a lifestyle coaching business. It's just 1 hour a day, which can be broken up throughout your day. Maybe that means you spend 10 minute on your tasks before your kids wake up; 30 minutes on your lunch break; and 20 minutes after the kids go to bed. I was able to fire my boss and make my own schedule because I spent those 7 hours in the very beginning.
- This sounds like a pyramid scheme. Ha! I get this one, too ... because it was my husband AND my dad's concern. But google pyramid schemes and you will find out a few things. 1. They are illegal. (If I was running some sort of illegal business, I probably wouldn't be writing blog posts about it, you know what I'm saying?) 2. There's no product involved. A pyramid scheme is all about signing people about but they never actually get anything. That's not the case here. 3. You can never out-earn the person above you in a pyramid scheme. Again, that's not the case here. You could sign up today and in 3 months be earning more than me. It all comes down to how hard you're willing to work!
- I don't want to be a salesperson. No one wants to be that obnoxious person who is bugging all their family and friends to just buy a few more things. Look, that's not what we're about because that's gross. Your job is only to be on your own journey, share that with others, and invite them to join you in being healthier and happier. That's it, that's all. No sleazy sales tactics here.
How do you make money as a coach?
Dolla, dolla, bills y'all! Ok, I want you to think about this question before I break down the money thing: Why on earth are people willing to spend 40 freaking years working a job they aren't passionate about, living paycheck to paycheck, but they won't spend a few years building a business and a life of FREEDOM?! If you're ready to get out of the rat race and hustle hard to build your own dreams, I've got you! So, how do we earn money?
- By helping people! Anytime you help hook someone up with a product of program, you earn a 25% commission. Now, the cool thing is, people fall in love with feeling good and they want to keep drinking the shakes and doing the workouts. So, every month when they get their shake, you earn a 25% commission! As you help more and more people, your income grows month over month.
- By growing as a leader! As you grow your organization, you are awarded bonuses based on how many people your team is helping. Basically, it's Beachbody's way of saying, "Girl, you're killing it as a leader." This is really where the residually compounding income comes in. You can earn up to $12k a WEEK in team cycle bonuses... forever! There are also matching bonuses when you team gets cycle bonuses, as well as quarterly bonuses... Basically, what you need to know, is that the potential is limitless!
What kind of support do you get as a new coach?
With some of the top coaches in the network, we have created a training system that is going to help you get you started right. You don't need to reinvent the wheel - just duplicate the systems and add your own personality! This self-paced training is an online course that will take you step-by-step through what you need to do to be successful. My goal for you is that you will make back your initial investment in your first month, by helping other women get started as well!
You will also be added to our private Facebook communities, which total over 500 incredible women who will support you as you begin this business. It's basically like finding your long-lost best friends you never knew you needed. You will also join one of my support and accountability groups, to help you get the client experience and start working towards reaching your own goals! Finally, you will get the 1:1 support you need from me as your business mentor. I will answer all your questions and support you as you take your steps into building your own life of freedom!
