Beachbody changing name

Here’s the You Tube I found where the CEO presents the changes:

Sounds like they’re rebranding to move away from the term “Beachbody” so it’s more inclusive. But it really seems like they’re just giving their “coaches” another revenue stream.

DING DING DING. An MLM is only successful if the uplines make a lot of money.

I didn’t mind the early access price for a whole new program but I won’t pay an extra $29 a month (on top of the $179 per year price) for 4 weeks of content.

I’m not interested in Shakeology either. I can’t take supplements with a medication I’m on for life.

Agree. The only way I'd re-subscribe to BOD now is to go back through 80 Day Obsession. I paused my subscription at the start of the year and really haven't missed it.

And their downlines are making zilch because they have to keep investing more into the company (in particular buying the redonkulously overpriced and disgusting "superfood shake"). All the while being forced to "Invite! Invite! Invite!" during a "power hour" Zoom call while their uplines yell, curse, and scold them for "not doing enough" (i.e. not spending hours a day on their phone or computer sending cold message invites no matter the location and ignoring their spouse, family, and kids in the process). I'm glad I never joined an MLM.

I would love to try the new LIIFT More (as I've heard it doesn't have the "stand on one leg while patting your head and rubbing your tummy, keeping one eye shut, wiggling the opposite ear and reciting the Gettysburg Address in reverse" moves that are common in many newer Beachbody programs*), but I can't see spending that amount of money just to try it and not keep it forever if I do like it (plus, supporting said MLM). I'm quite happy with my Beachbody programs on DVD (P90X, Body Beast, CLX, TurboFire, BBL, Slim Series), plus I'm anxiously waiting the new Cathes.

*No offense for those who enjoy the newer BB programs.

LIIFT More is the best BOD program since 80 Day Obsession, in my opinion. The weight segments are standard weight lifting moves (nothing fancy) and the different Supersets/quad sets/triple sets kept it interesting. I loved the burn out sets and core/abs but kind of felt “meh” on the HIIT segments. But the main part if the program is “heavy for you” lifting (with the other segments only being 4-5 minutes long).

The 12 reps/3 sets routine left room for you to progress with each workout. I see this becoming a classic BOD program because it’s basic enough to stand the test of time but challenging enough because you can progress according to your abilities. Plus as much as I enjoy Sagi, I think Joel is great at keeping the workouts moving and his personality may suit more people. Although I would love to see another program with Sagi.

So I guess I’m going to keep subscribing to BODi but not buy add-ons unless they’re something I really want. Ugh, lol.

Have they discontinued the tape measure and pencil bonuses?

Lol! Thanks for the flashback! They put a tape measure in Every Single release, didn’t they!?!?
