I remember her discussing the same thing in an older Facebook video. I'm positive she is talking about Beachbody.

it's probably unlisted so the video could be like an exclusive sneak peek for preorder or newsletter subscribers. that's my guess.

The only program of hers I liked was Turbo Fire. Those are great, fun workouts. Otherwise, I find her programs, books and “motivational “ speaking a snooze. I hated Push and couldn’t wait to trade it away.

Chalene had a follow-up podcast come out this morning where she talked more about this topic. I found the comments about the Firm instructors really interesting.

Oh, really? Is this in her main podcast? I don't subscribe to it but would love to hear this discussion. Which episode is it?

Thanks! Wow, that was interesting and a little bit of a headscratcher specifically regarding the FIRM. I don't know that I agree. OTOH, her own story and journey and experience, I completely believe happened. That's too bad. I hope she's feel happier and better and more positive about the direction she's going in with her brand now. I've never actually done a Chalene workout, but she seems very likable.

What a whiner!

Interesting podcast. As a Firm believer I did not observe the Firm instructors getting thinner and more ripped with each dvd.
I do applaud Chalene for becoming more conscious about advertising body images to women. She states you cannot make money (success) if you do not advertise skinny and ripped. I do not think that is true. Jessica Smith for instance does not use these tactics but is popular and successful.

She’s probably referring to the Body Sculpting Systems. There were noticeable changes during that Firm era.

She was interested in working with BB not even a year ago. I’m sure she doesn’t want to offend them. Or for that matter the BB coaches and customers who make up a sizable chunk of her audience.
