Chris' Inspirational Story
Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
I grew up playing sports and was always active. While playing a
softball game I ended up tearing my ACL. I was in crutches for the next
6 months and unable to do any real physical activity for the next 18
months. With the lack of physical activity for so long I started to get
out of shape. Eventually I became lazy and worn out then I stopped
working out all together. Over time I continued to lose muscle and gain
fat. This unattractive change started to effect my attitude and
personality. I would constantly "talk" about working out and getting
into shape. I became depressed and unhappy with myself because I knew I
could look better. For about four years all I did was talk about working
out and I got in the worse phyiscal shape I had ever been in.
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
I met and became friends with a Beachbody coach. She was very big into
fitness and was very passionate about Beachbody and their products. Over
a little bit of time she helped me make a great decision by becoming a
coach and drinking Shakeology consistently. Over the next few months I
started to have more energy and I noticed the success stories people
were having using the Beachbody programs. This inspirtation of my coach,
the Beachbody community and the hundreds of success stories changed my
talk to action. I decided it was about time to get the body I knew I
could have.
Why did you choose the particular program?
I had already completed the Insanity disc set and was looking for my
next physical challenge. I was very happy with the initial results from
the prior BeachBody programs and that is why I chose Insanity: The
Asylum for my next big challenge! I also like that it promotes full body
conditioning and the motivation the programs trainer, Shaun T, provides
is great. I saw many clips of the routines that are involved with
Insanity: The Asylum which intimidated me, but I was up for the
challenge. I knew if I could stick to the entire 60 day program I would
improve my physique and fitness level drastically. After attending a fit
club that featured Insanity: The Asylum I had to get the program. The
next day I ordered the program and was so excited to have Shaun T
inspiring me and motivating me in my living room.
What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
One thing about the program is the intensity of the program that pushes
me past my limits every second of the workout. So many times I wanted
to stop and take a break but Shaun T's motivation throughout the program
truly kept me digging deeper. Not only was the program an instense
cardio workout but it conditioned my body to where I had muscle
definition I never knew I could achieve.
Tell us about the greatest challenge you faced. How did you overcome that challenge?
The greatest challenge I faced was eating healthy and not indulging in
junk/fast foods. I really enjoy eating, especially great tasting foods
which always seemed to be only unhealthy foods. The meal plans from,
Insanity, P90X and the Beachbody Club taught me how to eat healthy and
to pay attention to the ingredients in everything I ate. Before I never
knew how much the food we ate had to do with my physical appearance. I
always thought as long as I was working out it was ok to eat whatever.
The forums and message boards from Beachbody taught me how important
eating correctly was to my appearance and overall health.
Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody® program. What achievements are you proud of?
Before I started Insanity I looked flabby and my abs were no where to
be found. I was 18% body fat and the weakest I have been since middle
school. I also would struggle to jog just 2 miles. After Insanity I have
great muscle definition and I can not only feel my abs but I can see
them wanting to show off. My body fat went down over 50% to now my body
fat is 9%. I not only can jog over two miles with ease, I am entering a
sprint Triathalon in a month. I never dreamed that I could finish one
let alone compete in race like that. I am most proud of the muscle
definition I now have, epecially my 6 pack!

Nate's Inspirational Story
Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
I went from 18 years old, 180 lbs and in shape to 30 years old, 253 lbs
and fat and tired. I was working at a desk job, got married, had kids,
and just plain got lazy. That led to a knee injury and surgery, along
with what I considered good excusses for not "pushing" myself. I had
terrible self esteem. At the time I was living outside of Myrtle Beach,
SC, about a 5 min walk from the beach. I spent my last two "fat
summers" without even taking my shirt off, because I was that embarassed
about what I had become.
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
I have two young boys. They would come up and lay their heads on my
stomach and say, "I love the big daddy pillow". I wanted to be a good
role model for them, and knew that I wasn't, and if things didn't
change, I probably wouldn't be there for them when they were older. I
knew the choice that was right, and committed myself to do the hard work
so I could succeed. For them and for me.
Why did you choose the particular program?
I had heard alot about P90X from the many hours of sitting on my butt
on the couch, and watching the infomercials on sundays. I am a person
of extrems, and P90X was definatly that for me right then.
What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
The best thing about P90X was that all I had to do was what they told
me to! The meal plan was a great help in directing me and helping me
create a healthy eating plan that I knew I would be able to stick to for
life, and not just a "fad" diet.
Tell us about the greatest challenge you faced. How did you overcome that challenge?
My biggest challenge and fear was that my knee would prevent me from
getting good results, or even finishing the workout. I had used that as
an excuse for so long, I didn't really know what it could handle. So I
just did what Tony said, and went at a pace that I could so that I
could continue the workouts. As my body got stronger, the pain and fear
diminshed.
Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody® program. What achievements are you proud of?
I am blown away by the results that I got from P90X!! I went from 253
lbs and lazy, to 184 lbs, ripped and energetic. I am proud of the
weight loss, but take more pride in knowing that by being committed to
the choice to get healthy, I am being a great role model for my boys.
A couple weeks ago I was at my grandfathers funeral with family that I
had not seen in a couple years. When I walked into the church, my Dad
was in the lobby, he turned and looked when I walked in, and just turned
back around and started walking away. I said "Hey Dad! You can't even
say hi?" He turned around and looked again with a suprised look and
said that he hadn't even recognized me! Thats when I realized how much
of a transformation I had gone through.

Jessica's Inspirational Story
Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
I absolutely love being a 7th grade English teacher. Truthfully, I
tended to let work be my life. I worked all day and continued at
night—planning, grading, etc. Work was an excellent distraction from
analyzing myself and my life. But, when I really think back to my life
before I started the program, I really just was happy enough. Not happy
period. Not happy exclamation point. Just happy enough. I had reached
this weirdly satisfied but not satisfied acceptance of my life. I
weighed how much I weighed. I considered myself the definition of a
heavy girl. I was one of many. I had sunk into the realization that I
was not a skinny girl, nor would I ever be miserable about who I was. I
would not beat myself up or guilt myself because of my weight. I liked
food and was prepared to live with the consequences. I had tried (but
let’s face it, not really tried) to exercise and diet, but it hadn't
really worked.
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
I had no idea that I was going to change my life. I was looking for a
change—just a regular one though. Not a transformation or a journey. I
had finished the school year, teaching another fabulous group of seventh
graders, and felt tired all the time. Reality really sunk in when I saw
our school yearbook. I was happy to be featured in so many pictures,
but didn’t like what I saw. Was that really me? I had settled into a
life of teaching, eating, watching TV, and just enjoying the life I had.
Those yearbook pictures were more than I was used to. I had been
getting ready for another summer of being inactive and not doing much,
but I just decided to do something about ME. My friend Katie invited me
to workout with her (as she had done many times before) and I decided to
actually do it and put some actual effort into it. I committed to
myself. I was putting myself before my students, the tests that I had to
grade, and the lessons I had been planning. I was going to succeed!
Why did you choose the particular program?
I had “worked out” with a few teachers at school during the year but
hadn’t done much lately. I can’t really call it working out though. I
was doing some minor exercise that justified eating more. I would get
drive-thru on my way home as a reward for doing it! Throughout my whole
life,I have tried working out sporadically, but have never been fit or
athletic. I always hated running and had painfully tight calves, so
cardio was out. Walking around the mall for hours would kill my legs. I
could walk a treadmill pretty slowly. I took a class here and there, but
never found a program I could do or love. So, when I decided to give
Beachbody a whirl, I simply had no idea. But, all I had to do was turn
to my awesome coach. Katie suggested ChaLEAN Extreme for me. She knew
that starting me off with this program would get me motivated and each
step in the burn-push-lean cycle did just that. Plus, Chalene is
amazing. I finally realized why Katie liked working out so much.
What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
The ChaLEAN Extreme system works—it is extreme and effective. Chalene
taught me to have a positive inner voice that told me that I can do
anything. She taught me how to make progress and how it feels so good to
work hard. I wasn’t allowed to go through it at a comfortable level,
but go through it pushing myself and give every move my very best
effort. “Failing” with Chalene meant that I was actually making
progress, because I knew I was challenging myself to the right level
with each weight workout. She promised me that I was going to see
amazing results…and she kept that promise. I’m happy every time I finish
working out with Chalene. I’ve burned a ton of calories, I feel good
about myself, I’m sweaty, I have a smile on my face, and I don’t have a
care in the world. I learned that I wanted to experience this feeling
every day of my life.
Tell us about the greatest challenge you faced. How did you overcome that challenge?
I have never been an athlete, played any sports, trained for anything,
or been part of a team. I’m so happy to be part of the BB team and have
the best coach in the world .The thing Katie helped me realize is that
I’ve never really had to push before. Athletes learn these things
through their sport .If I had been working out by myself & had
reached that point of tiredness or discomfort, I would have stopped.
Katie helped me push through it. I couldn’t have achieved the results I
have if I had taken it easy. I needed to lift heavier weights, run
faster, squat lower, get down, etc. It was a challenge in every sense of
the word. Uncomfortable? Absolutely! It was ridiculously uncomfortable
.I overcame my challenge by getting strong mentally as well. I had to
believe I could do it. I had to grin and bear it. I had to take the time
to do it right. I had to push my body to the max. I had to realize that
it would be worth it. I WAS WORTH IT!!!
Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody® program. What achievements are you proud of?
I have more energy than I ever thought was possible. Before Beachbody, I
would work five days a week and spend the weekends doing nothing
because I was so tired. I would make light of it. “What are you doing
this weekend, Jessica?” Response: “Couch City and I’m the mayor.” Now I
get so invigorated and energized after each workout. I’m active and so
much more outgoing. I am ridiculously happy. It pours out of me. People
tell me that I look happier all the time. Like I said before, I have
lost 63 pounds and 54 inches. I went from a size 18 to a size 10. I can
shop at all the stores that all my friends do. That might sound like an
absurd statement, but I’m proud of that. I spent too many years shopping
with friends and watching them try on clothes. I would give advice on
what looked cute or not and just buy an accessory because that’s all I
could buy at certain stores. Not anymore! But really, I’m just proud of
myself. I DID IT

Lyndsey's Inspirational Story
Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body?
Life before I began my transformation was difficult. I have struggled
with obesity most of my life. Food has always been a big part of the
lives in my family growing up was and a central part in family
get-togethers and celebrations. This bad habit I learned followed me
into my adult years and I began to worry about health related problems
with my heart and my liver due to being overweight, yet I continued to
eat poorly and not pay attention what I was eating, or the portion sizes
of it all. In addition to this, beside one or two dance classes a week,
I rarely if ever would exercise. I would always try to diet on my own
but constantly struggled to lose weight and keep it off. It was at the
end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009 when I reached my heaviest weight
in many years that I finally decide it was time to make a dramatic
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey?
When I reached my heaviest weight, I found out that there was fat
surrounding my liver. Hear news like this was like a wakeup call to me
because I knew this was very UN healthy. Before this, I usually thought
about being overweight as a physical apperacene issue, but after I found
this out it hit me that it was a serious health issue. It was then that
I realized that I had to make big changes in order to live a long
healthy life, it was no longer about looks, it became about my life and
my overall health.
Why did you choose the particular program?
I have recently completed The Asylum; I chose this program because
after finishing all the following programs I needed to take it to the
next level. Insanity: The Asylum proved to do just that testing both my
endurance and my agility.
I started my weight loss journey using Power 90. After researching many
products, I decided that Power 90 was the best option to begin my weight
loss goal. The 90 day plan seemed motivating and attainable for me. I
knew I needed something that was challenging, but geared toward someone
who wasn’t in good physical condition. The success I achieved using
Power 90 motivated me to try other Beachbody products. From there I was
hooked! I’ve become a graduate of Turbo Jam, Power 90 Master’s Series,
Chalean Extreme, Insanity, P90x, and Turbo Fire. Each program has
pushed me closer to my goals, kept me challenged, and motivated!
What in particular did you like about the program you chose?
The things I like most about The Asylum were the challenges it brought.
Using the agility ladder was brand new to me and really forced me to
sweat my game up. I enjoyed the mix of core, cardio and weight training
that this program provided. It was as if every time I progressed, I
could try a little more, or do something a little different and it was
like a brand new program again.
Tell us about the greatest challenge you faced. How did you overcome that challenge?
During this program, the biggest challenge was my work schedule. For
two weekends I had to travel to conferences for a few days. While most
people would just take the days off, or use the treadmill in the gym, I
decided to not let anything come between me and my workout program. I
packed suitcases filled with my weights, my ladder, shakeology and my
workout DVDs. I woke up at 4 am before my first meeting and did my
workout. It felt good to know that after being over 300 pounds and
losing over 150 pounds that I am dedicated and I always make finishing
my workouts a priority.
Describe the results you achieved with your Beachbody® program. What achievements are you proud of?
Beachbody has helped me to achieve a level of fitness I never thought
possible! When I weighed over 300 pounds I had begun to believe that I
was destined to be overweight my entire life. My entire mindset has
changed - Beachbody has given me the tools to transform my body through
exercise and diet. Working out has become a part of my daily routine. I
enjoy working out and look forward to pressing play each day. I have
gained confidence that has spilled over into all areas of my life
