Super Friday in Pittsburgh

You guys! I can not seriously begin to tell you about this weekend. As I’m sitting here reflecting on everything, my head is spinning, overwhelmed and excited for 2015.

This weekend was a HUGE celebration for our TOP TEAM. Melanie was officially announced TOP coach out of over 260,000 so this was a “no question about it” were going and hello Carl Diakler and Autumn Calabrese were coming to town.

So, Beachbody has these quarterly events all over the US.  Different locations make it fun for everyone. We learn about the upcoming trips, product announcements, and training as well. Afterwards, most do a live workout.

There's my girl, Autumn

This is the second year we have made it to Pittsburgh for this event. We mainly stick in St. Louis for the rest of the years. We traveled last year because Michael Niemand from beachbody corporate was in town to congratulate Melanie on #2 coach and present her trip to Italy.

Talk about a group workout 

We got into town on Friday settled in, and got a quick Max 30 workout in  The Omni in Pittsburgh is absolutely GORGEOUS. One of THE most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. We had a “white out” theme on Friday night for the actual event. All the attendees wore white and the Market council (who put the event together) wore black.  There were over 1,000 people at this event. They shared success stories, shared a 45 minute video of a little training, talked about our trip for 2016, and also announced a little secret that Beachbody will be rolling out later this year (stay tuned).  Melanie was presented, by Carl, with a top coach basket and her trip to Paris later this year. Alyssa Schomaker was also presented with a basket for #9 and her trip to Paris. Guys, these numbers are out of 260,000 coaches. How amazing is that? We have some seriously leaders on our team and we get top notch training as well. After the presentation was over the first 500 people who got a ticket, they got their picture with either Carl or Autumn. Such a hard decision but I chose Carl. I figured I had a better chance of meeting Autumn at Summit or another event. We went on to do a LIVE workout with Autumn from the 21 Day Fix EXTREME that will be releasing February 2^nd.  Such an intense workout for baby and I so we did the EXTRA modified version and did what we could. Still got a great sweat on and got to enjoy it.

Q&A with the panel

I cannot wait to pass these tips to my coaches!

We grabbed lunch at this cute little place in the city not far from the hotel, but holy smokes this city is cold.

Saturday Night came with a HUGE celebration at Perle Champagne bar with dessert. We danced and mingled with everyone. It was such a great time.

As I am sitting here in the airport, waiting to board our flight to Chicago, I cannot help but to think abut how amazing beachbody has been to myself, mentally and physically. A passion I never I thought I would find with working in the typical 9-5 corporate world.  Knowing that I am helping transform lives is what I LIVE for. Its not about the paycheck it’s about the messages I get from clients and my team that make me tear up and makes everything so real that I am doing what I was suppose to be doing all my life.

I hope that each and everyone of you that read my blog are following your dreams and have been in touch with your passion and what you are suppose to be doing. It’s such a blessing.

XOXO,
