They are better than most pimps will give you. FYI: I'm not in it. I found the ad in my spam folder and posted it here for discussion. Now we have covered all bases.

We're not done are we?




Any thoughts on any of this? Seems the company is holding people out to be "coaches" and is plenty happy to cash their checks. Beyond that, customers and affiliates alike get the Sgt Schultz.

Does Tony Horton show up in court if an affiliate gets sued for violating laws the FDA has on advertising supplements?

Is it legal to market a dietary supplement product as a treatment or cure for a specific disease or condition?

No, a product sold as a dietary supplement and promoted on its label or in labeling* as a treatment, prevention or cure for a specific disease or condition would be considered an unapproved--and thus illegal--drug. To maintain the product's status as a dietary supplement, the label and labeling must be consistent with the provisions in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994.*Labeling refers to the label as well as accompanying material that is used by a manufacturer to promote and market a specific product.

To sum it all up: if you think you can do the fitness programs faithfully and have money to spare, by all means go ahead and use them. But never ever get involved in the MLM part of it.

Here is one about the financial success of many beachbody mlm recruiters.

Hello,

I'm here because I have an in-law heavily involved in the Beachbody MLM. When she first approached me and my wife (her sister) three years ago I researched the company, discovered it was an MLM, and refused to participate. I persuaded my wife not to participate either., and she did not. Although this has been a sore point between us, I do not regret it. Although my sister-in-law seems to be having some financial success, and has helped people get in shape, I personally would never want to earn money in this manner as I feel it is dishonest. It is also life-consuming. The first people new-MLMers go to are always close friends and family who feel a pressure to support them and purchase a product priced highly not because of its quality, but because it supports an MLM structure. As time has passed, my sister-in-law has distanced herself from the family, including my wife, who used to be very close with her. My wife has also lost friends who have joined up with Beachbody under her sister. This is a festering issue that continues to divide her family, although her family doesn't seem to see it as a cause as they were not previously familiar with MLMs and their tactics.

Thank you,

Desmond

That sounds more like a cult than a business.

That's because they both use the same well documented techniques to maintain loyalty.

Welcome. Your story of family strife over MLM crap is all too common. Thank you for sharing. We "haterz" are here to advocate for all the victims of this scourge.

Hi Desmond,

You should go check out Pinktruth.com to feel even more validated about your wise decision to stay away from a MLMing company.

Pinktruth is mostly about Mary Kay, but all MLMing companies use the same flawed model, so it doesn't matter.

The ladies there speak a lot about how they lost friends and family, about faking their success, going into debt, being in a cult, etc.. I think you'll be able to relate to many of the stories.
