Fairmont in Scottsdale, AZ

Last week, I had an amazing opportunity to attend my very first Leadership Retreat with Team Beachbody which was held in Scottsdale, AZ! I left on Wednesday and was able to go a day early to relax and enjoy an extra day thanks to Beachbody for providing their Elite coaches with this present! I seriously have never felt so loved as I do with Team Beachbody as a company! Its one thing to treat your employees well, but I was literally showered with gifts every day, and they treated me like royalty!

What is so great about leadership?
Not everyone that works for Beachbody gets the opportunity to go to these events.  Leadership is for coaches who reach the rank of 2 star and above which means the diamond coach has 2 personally sponsored diamonds on their team.

Thank you Mel for my massage!!!! XOXO Great post workout gift!!

Wednesday, the Elite coaches first night at the resort, we had the opportunity to have a workout with Shaun T, then a huge Elite reception and dinner that was themed A night in Paris!

Now I have to share some amazing gifts that were giving to us top coaches!! Every day, getting showered with gifts was pretty amazing!! Not that gifts are everything because they are not, but it definitely is a bonus!!

Gotta love the clothes!! 
Having a little fun out at the pool, I will say it was tough seeing everyone eating all the food and guacamole, I stayed strong and had my grilled chicken and broccoli!!

As we had some relaxing time, we also had our general sessions which were great!! We had an opportunity to get some great information from our CEO’s Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon! They are such amazing leaders and here for the right reasons! Nowadays you see founders of businesses focus on the money aspect, but they truly want to see transformations and lives changing and its amazing feeling to be a part of this!!

Oh so much I can say about this girl!! Katy, one of my success partners in crime has been such an inspiration to me! She has gone through more than anyone I know but stays stronger than anyone!!  She had such an amazing speech on stage about her journey and struggle through having stage 4 lymphoma but is now a survivor and fought through like no other!!! So blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people!!!

Ok so I love to dance…. may be the funniest pic… I was caught in action!! I am not sure what kind of move that is, but I swear I know how to dance hahah!!!!
As you see, this entire trip was something amazing!!! Something not everyone gets to do often, but Beachbody gives these trips as a Thank You for working hard and dedicating ourselves to help end the trend of obesity and change lives! So far this year, Beachbody has given me a trip on a Caribbean Cruise, Vegas, and now Arizona! I must say Im pretty thankful for everything they have done for me, along with giving me the opportunity to have financial freedom for my family! 
I am so excited to take in all the information I learned and share it with my team and continue making a difference in people’s lives!! 
If you have a passion for helping others and want to help me end the trend of obesity while continuing your own health and fitness journey, please fill out the application below for a spot in my next coach apprenticeship starting Oct 6th!
