Success Club Trip: Punta Cana 2017

What an AMAZING week I had!! If you followed me on Instagram or Facebook or SnapChat you saw that I was away for a week on a trip to the Hard Rock Punta Cana in the  Dominican Republic.

I stayed with a guest in an amazing suite in Punta Cana. This was a trip that I earned from Team Beachbody as a Coach. Every year Beachbody has an trip to a beautiful destination AKA Success Club Trip that Coaches in the network can earn for themselves and a guest/family.

This was an all inclusive all expense paid vacation with travel cash that was given to us to spend at the resorts spa, golf or shops. I became a coach 3 years ago and the first trip I went on as a coach was cruising the Caribbean on the largest cruise ship in the world!


I remember as a new coach having NO IDEA what this success club was or how to earn the trip. I remember thinking that those trips MUST be only for the SUPER successful coaches in the business.

I was TOTALLY wrong and these trips are absolutely for EVERYONE that becomes a coach, even brand new ones. Of course you have to earn it, but it is actually not that hard to do!

How to earn the success club trip?

Earning the Success Club Trip is pretty simple actually. You make the decision to set the goal to at minimum help 3-5 people each month get started on their health and fitness journey.

When you set the goal to help 3 to 5 people you earn points aka trip dollars towards the next vacation. If you hit what we call success club 5 or 10+ each and every month then you earn enough trip dollars to get the trip covered and travel incentive.

Not only do you get to earn an incredible vacation but you are growing your business and earning an income which is exactly what the goal is in the first place. You then receive an invitation from Team Beachbody to sign up for the trip.

What happens on this trip?

Fender for the room? Why not!

The Success Club trip truly is like hanging out with your very best friends in the business. As a coach most of what we do is virtual. We chat through our support and accountability groups, our trainings are hosted online through our video conferencing, we do trainings online and we mentor and support each other each and every day.

You show up at the resort and it’s like you are seeing your very best friends that you talk to day in and day out in person. You get to relax on the beach and pool with people who just get you!

Coaches are Entrepreneurial minded, we are visionaries, we are driven, and we love health and fitness but we also love margaritas, chips and guacamole, ice cream and just epic cheat meals!! We call that BALANCE!!!

We sit on the beach and chat about life, brainstorm business strategies and share our own ideas on how we can continually improve our businesses together. Beachbody has an entire agenda of fun things planned that you can take part in if you want too.

And hey when in Rome right? Have a guitar for your room so you can jam? Why not I mean it is the Hard Rock resort right?

Welcome Reception

Hanging with my Team at the Welcome Reception

The first night that we were there was the Welcome Reception party. They had amazing food, drinks, live music, corn hole boards, and games to play.

You could dance, hang out together and chat or live it up on the dance floor. Plus it is always nice to get out of your workout clothes, your sweat pants and put on a nice dress and feel fancy!

Now that I work from home after leaving my corporate job last July I really gave up the business wear!

So unless I HAVE to get dressed up I don't! So this was a great excuse to feel FABULOUS! We had amazing food and cocktails and laughed like crazy!







I also earned a meet and greet with new Celebrity Trainer Chris Downing and Creator of the Shift Shop workout program.

Daily Celebrity Workouts

In the morning we hit up the live workouts with the trainers Autumn Calabrese and Chris Downing. We did Chris’ new workout program that is going to be released in July called Shift Shop! I am seriously so EXCITED for this workout!! It is a 3 week rapid weight loss program and we had the opportunity to have an exclusive workout LIVE. Let’s just say it is a knee grabber. You are going to LOVE it!! I can’t wait to share more about it with you!



Then, we hit up the beach for some sun to relax with my Coach freinds! We rented a Cabana and just hung by the ocean and chatted about business, life and just caught up! We work together all the time but don't get to see each other in person as often. This was just amazing! Everyone pulled up a chair and soaked up some sun!


I love that I get to chose my who I work with.  The most amazing thing to me is many of these poeple live close to where I am in the United States.  They are my people! Positive and inspiring. Not just to me in my business but also for my family! My kids know these people to be real role models for a literally limitless potential life!

Not everyone does this full time - some do it as a hobby or even part time and that is what I find so inspiring.  It just FITS into your lifestyle and keeps you on track no matter if you goal is fitness related, financial or both like me!

We went to a variety of AMAZING restaurants! Hibachi, Steak, Sushi and Buffets! There was lots of nightlife if you were into the casino or dancing.  This place had it all!

Next morning everyone met back for another live workout with Chris Downing and Shift Shop, Shakeology bar, breakfast and then off for some more pool/beach time. Getting a chance to sweat and relax until the next event!

Shift Shop Sneak Peek Workout with New Super Trainer Chris Downing

They roll out the red carpet for us every time! Whatever you are looking for you can find it! These trips can be absolutely sinful, but you can keep it clean too! We all worked hard to get here and  it is because of our health and fitness goals.  So we definitely indulge but we also stay on track too!

Having the opportunity to try new workouts with Master Trainers.  Meet Celebrity trainers and stay on track.  Top that off with a Shakeology bar with every imaginable flavor ready to go afterwards?  They take care of us on these trips! We didn't miss a beat and then it was on to the rest of the day to soak up the sun or prepare for the next party!

Normally you come back from a vacation and feel like you need to shape up or recover.  I've yet to go on a Beachbody trip that made me feel that way! Not only do I come back recharged and rested, but feeling amazing and ready to continue to help people change their lives so they can come on the next trip!

Me and Autumn Calabrese before the Super workout!

I love this picture below of most of our team below. You know what: our team is made up of MOMS, WIVES, NURSES, TEACHERS, DOCTORS, CORPORATE BUSINESS WOMEN AND MEN, PSYCHOLOGISTS, GUIDANCE COUNSELORS, HR MANAGERS AND MORE. We all have families and lives outside of coaching but we have this common thread, this passion for helping others to achieve a healthy and fulfilling life and we also have a drive to grow a business that creates a life that we desire!!!

We don't do it all the same way but we all want to succeed and see each other succeed too! That is the awesome part! We share what we know and we work together to hit goals and benchmarks.  That has been such a unique formula from what I have been used to in the past.  We are all rooting for each other!

Squad at the Pool!

That is what I found to be so unique about our Team! Whatever your goal is we support you! However quickly you want to move or however big your goals, you will be supported!  We all have different stories but one thing is common.  Our drive to continue to help people find what works fro them.  To end the trend of obesity and help find solutions!

Day Trips and Snorkeling

On our Cruise to Snorkle and Have Fun!

We are living this life every day and we are taking charge of the future!! It’s a pretty incredible journey to be here with such amazing and down to earth people. I truly feel blessed by this business in so many ways.

You Chose Every Day How You Live! 

The adventure didn't stop there! We took a day cruise to snorkle and hang on a boat for the day with a group of our freinds! We got to see some sea life and kick back and bond. Just relax and take in the beauty of the area!

Jaime & I with some locals!

Spa Time

Fish Pedicure?

We also has $750 resort cash to spend on whatever we wanted while we were there! So we hopped off the boat and hello Spa!!

We got off the boat and then checked into the Rock Spa! Massages and use of the spa complete with mud treatments, steam room, whirl pools and the MOST AMAZING Meditation room!! Jaime and I literally feel asleep in there!!Yes, I even had a fish pedicure - cause why not?

I love having these kinds of experiences to soak it all up and remember that there really is MORE to life than the daily grind.  Its the relationships we develop along the way.

The Spa

Just heavenly! I would NEVER have treated myself to an experience like that before.  To be able to do it at a location like this was amazing.  I absolutely enjoyed every moment! After a long morning on the boat this was the perfect end to another spectacular day!

Having the opportunity to celebrate it with my freinds is a GIFT!

But its one I EARNED! Thats the amazing part, by helping people every month I earned the ability to go on this trip and have these experiences that I would love to have but in my normal daily life there are ALWAYS other priorities that take center stage.






While I was on this trip tho, there was nothing I could do except to enjoy the experience.  As a working mom that is a luxury I don't often get to enjoy.  But that is what I love about this company, they take care of us!

I have to tell you, I have had MANY a massage in my time.  Some of which were at 5 star resorts.  This one was EPIC! I am so glad I too, the opportunity to try the spa.  It was an appreciated luxury I won't soon forget!

One of many relaxation areas! The pool was AMAZING!

We also had a chance to learn more and sharpen our skills.  We had the opportunity to hear from CEO Carl Daikeler and his wife Isabelle Daikeler (co-creator of Shakeology).  Learning opportunities never ends with Beachbody! I love that! Understanding what goes into the quality and research of the products I love an use matters to me. I want to be able to help more people with their health and fitness and education counts! When a customer asks me a question I know how to help!

We also had the opportunity to hear from the Elite 10 Panel during the trip. There was a live Q&A session to answer some questions about coaching and what the TOP coaches in the company continue to grow and balance it all.

Me and my mentor Melanie Mitro

We all have lives and families and many of us Coach to spend more QUALITY of life with them! So having access to the best resources to be able to do that is invaluable.  There is no secret sauce here, its hard work and sharing for success!
My personally sponsored coach happens to be the Top Coach on the Elite 10 Panel. It was GREAT to see my mentor in action again as she continues to share not only with our team but with the entire company!

We finally ended with our farewell party where we got to celebrate with a party on the beach catered just for us!

It was an amazing spread on the beach! Complete with furniture, a dance floor and DJ, tons of food and cocktails. Passed appetizers and deserts! We danced and had a ball! These are my freinds and such an amazing inspiration!!
It was complete with fireworks!! We really had an awesome time with our team and as much as we couldn’t wait to get home and see our families we will really miss our team!

Hibachi Dinner with Great Friends!

But of course we will be back together in just a few months at Summit in New Orleans where the Dream Team will be taking over! Our team is the TOP team 3 years running! And I hope you can see why!

My Crew! 

Fireworks on the Beach!

These trips are really a great way to re-energize yourself, surround yourself with positive people that are like minded and just get yourself ready to bust the doors wide open in your business. When you surround yourself with the movers and shakers in this business you can’t help but to dream a little bigger and reach a little higher and that is of course what we are going to do.

Stop the Presses!! NEW Vegan Shakeology Flavors

 So this is a long time in the making!! Two new VEGAN flavors of Shakeology! Yep! And now with Matcha & Chaga!

What is Shakeology?

Shakeology is a premium superfood shake delivering a healthy combination of ingredients and nutrients, including proteins, vitamins & minerals, superfoods with antioxidant properties, adaptogenic herbs and botanicals, fiber, pre and pro-biotics, and digestive enzymes.

The amazing benefits come from a variety of ingredients including herbs, roots, fruits, and vegetables that range from the commonly known, like pomegranate and blueberry, to the exotic, like goji berry and maca root. These incredible whole food ingredients from around the world, provide a wealth of superfood nutrition all in one shake.

What is Café Latte Vegan Shakeology?

Everyone's heard of the coffee bean, but how many are aware that the red, fleshy fruit that surrounds it is actually a powerful superfood? Café Latte Vegan Shakeology includes Whole Coffee Fruit, an incredible superfood, and has a rich, aromatic café latte flavor. Using the whole fruit helps lowers the carbon footprint while delivering the delightful refreshment reminiscent of a cup of joe. It has all the exotic superfood ingredients that you've come to expect from Shakeology to deliver Your Daily Dose of Dense Nutrition®. Café Latte Vegan Shakeology is nutrition simplified and dairy-free. It can help to support healthy weight loss and energy, reduce cravings, and support digestion and regularity.

What is Vanilla Vegan Shakeology?

Deep inside the lush jungles of Madagascar--an island off the southeastern coast of Africa--Malagasy farmers meticulously hand-pollinate delicate vanilla orchids and harvest the beans. Over the course of several months, the beans are blanched, seated, sun-dried, and conditioned, which releases their robust flavors. The result is an untainted, flavorful, and ethically sourced vanilla flavor that meets Shakeology's high standards. Rich and creamy Vanilla Vegan Shakeology goes wonderfully with citrus, coffee, maple, nut butters, and coconut flavors. Shakeology is nutrition simplified, and with Vanilla Vegan, you get a dairy-free daily dose of dense nutrition. It can help to support healthy weight loss and energy, reduce cravings, and support digestion and regularity.

What flavors does it come in?

Vanilla, Chocolate, Café Latte, Strawberry, Greenberry, Tropical Strawberry Vegan, Chocolate Vegan, Vanilla Vegan or Café Latte Vegan shake to help support healthy energy, reduce cravings, support weight loss, and support digestion and regularity.
