Beachbody Coach?

Erm this term actually makes me laugh.
Not wanting to take away from Tony Horton or Sean T as their fitness regimes do seem to work for those who keep at them but  really, become a beach body fitness trainer!
Isn't that another form of a pyramid scheme?

What happens is this, the person who buys the fitness 'program' also can become a 'beachbody instructor'.
This appears to be earned by fulfilling the workouts and I assume applying for the status online.
However, some of the 'instructors' on youtube, are constantly starting and stopping their workout programmes and so never in reality, get through the workouts they are claiming to know and support.
I am sure the workout's inventors are not that bothered, they have their payment and the kudos of those who keep 'pressing play'.

What really gets me is the 'instructors' who go on youtube, post their 'success by showing you only a few bits of them actually performing the moves themselves' and then disappear for long stretches .
Every now and again they pop back in to add comments and short pointless add on videos, about how they are now successful 'coaches' and you can subscribe to them ,buy the workouts from them and also pay them to send you the 'shakes' which you absolutely NEED if you are to gain any results while you follow your DVD, at home, alone, in front of your TV.
Of course you can buy the workout DVD's and the Shakes from the actual site itself without needing to go through a 'coach' to get them and Messrs Horton and T will be motivation enough.

The support they offer seems to come in the form of 'online motivation' which you can get for free from many fitness forums,websites and facebook pages.
So the beach body coach status appears to be a selling strategy ,with advertising in the form of proclamations of  happiness in their new found fitness and nothing more.

The other thing that bothers me about these workouts is their progressiveness.
I was most impressed with P90x and all the smiling ,less fat, more fit ,shapely people on youtube.
What I find a little less impressive is the way some participants become not only obsessed with their workout life and the 'Shakes' but also their need to keep buying the next newer workout .
There have been many different versions it seems and the last one that I have seen videos of is 'Insanity Asylum'. This last is very intense, it is a series of leaping and pressing and bounding around movements, as hard as the exerciser can manage. Many of the 'users' show before pictures,then do their 30 days of workouts and then show ,to me,rather disappointing 'result' pictures where they have reduced any muscle they had and become too thin.

Several people post every workout and it is interesting to see that while many can do the moves by the end of the 30 workouts, there are massive variations in form.
