Deidra Mangus

From an ER nurse to working from home full time as a home fitness coach, I can say the journey has been pretty amazing!! I never imagined myself having this much freedom for my family, or with my career that I do! But it happened because I took a leap outside my comfort zone and joined this whole Beachbody deal to just lose weight and get in shape! It became something so much more than that! From losing my baby weight after my 2nd boy, to losing 40 lbs, gaining confidence, and the passion to help more people who felt the way I did! Now I have grown a team who has the same goals and passion!!

This past week, I took the leaders from our team Forever FIT and got a pretty amazing Beach house, and just got to know each other more, did trainings, and more!!

Let the fun begin!!!! This trip was seriously one of my favorites!! Our team is getting larger, and we have all been able to build great friendships out of working together! We are from all over the US and Canada and couldn’t be more blessed to have these women and personalities come together!! Some of which, we met for the very first time!! It still felt as if we all knew each other for years!

Mama was packed and prepped with some healthy snacks for the trip!

Wednesday- Workout, Beach Day, Tattoos, good cooking, and spending some QT together as a team! Yes, I said tattoos!!

It was so beautiful to wake up and see this view!! To to able to take my office from PA to Destin for a week and enjoy the waves, the weather, and of course our team!! So thankful for this opportunity to take our team here!

Mama always got to get her superfood shake in!! Post workout… gets me going for the day!!

We made a pretty kick butt lunch!! Greek Salad, grilled chicken, and quinoa hummus layers dip!!

Thursday- Workout, Photo Shoot and Beach Day!

Ellen Anderson did such an amazing job at my hair and makeup and Stephanie Hines @Shinesphotography did amazing with our photo shoot! Here’s a little recap of that!

Starting out our day with a workout on the beach!!

Dinner is served! Turkey burger with home made fresh guac, roasted veggies, and red potatoes!

ABS… gotta love it when you didn’t just look like that in your photo shoot! HAHA oh well!! We hard hard for these suckers!!

Friday- Beach Day and more shoots! 

We did have baby on board to hang out with us!! Breastfeeding mamas gotta bring their babes!! She did so well too!!

It was so awesome to spend time with these ladies!!! Heather, Erinn, Marie and I

We may have snuck out for gelato!! Thats what friends are for!! To keep you on track with your nutrition!!

PHOTO SHOOT TIME!!!

Our evening consisted of dancing, singing, eating rotisserie chicken, hummus, and feta cheese!! I call that a successful night!! 🙂

Saturday and Sunday- Leadership Training, Out for Mexican!

We were fortunate enough to have Corporate from Beachbody come and do some awesome training for our teams Saturday. Then Saturday and Sunday were trainings from our top leaders in the company! I presented Sunday morning on creating a positive team culture which was really fun since that is what I am really passionate about with our team!

You can never go wrong with Enchiladas, nachos, and Margaritas!!

Saying goodbye is never easy when you don’t see your friends very often, but thankfully we have the opportunity to talk daily on social media and conference calls!!! These ladies are just amazing and had such a great time with them all! Finishing off strong with Seafood and the beach!

After lunch.. it was the beach!! Lets just say I finished off strong!! 6 of us girls went on a Shark ride where the jet ski takes us for a ride and we get tipped off the raft.. well, as I tried to be superwoman and keep myself on, I ended up jamming and breaking my little toe! Thankfully I had support to help me out!! Love these girls!!

Our team had a memorable trip!! First time to Destin, first time meeting a couple of them, and it was like family coming together again!! Cannot wait to do this again next year!! Until then, we have our other coach trips to go on!!

If you are looking to find a team that will support, motivate, and inspire you, I am looking for 10 women to join me! Moms who are passionate about health and fitness, who are serious about being successful and are not afraid to work to reach their goals, and who love helping others!!

I have my next new coach training starting Oct 3rd and would love to offer a spot to mentor you and help you grow a successful home fitness business of your own! Fill out the application below for me to contact you!
