Are you ready for the Challenge?


Meet Jeremy G.! He participated in The Beachbody Challenge and won the $500 Daily Prize for February 26th!



In October 2009, my Mom was diagnosed with late stage lung and liver cancer and passed away 8 days later. I was angry. I was shocked. I was sad. I was slapped with the cold reality that if I didn’t change my terrible smoking, drinking, and eating habits immediately, my fate might be the same as hers. So I threw out my pack of smokes, cleaned up my diet, and ordered P90X. 

Unfortunately, my first round of P90X didn't go as planned. I completely underestimated this program and found myself worn out and unmotivated after the first 5 days. For the next 3 months P90X sat on the shelf until my sister and brother-in-law asked to borrow it in order to get in shape for the summer. After ranting for 15 minutes about how hard this workout is, we entered into a 3-way challenge to see who’d quit first. But here’s the deal, my sister NEVER quits anything she starts (which was a huge motivator for me), therefore I'm happy to say that 3 months later, we all finished our first round of P90X and got amazing results. 

P90X was exactly what I needed to whip my body into shape. This total body workout of strength training, cardio, and flexibility was something I've never experienced before, which is probably why I FINALLY lost my love handles, gained a 6-pack, and got shredded. Even though my sister and her husband were the one’s who got me going on the P90X kick, it was my amazing Coach, Stephanie Jensen, who kept me going when the going got tough. 

Stephanie’s my hero in so many ways. She was my #1 inspiration and motivator, and helped get me back on track every time I grew frustrated and started to stray. Stephanie was always there for me, and I'm blessed and honored to call her my Coach! 

And then there’s Shakeology and P90X’s Results and Recovery Formula, which are my two best friends. I start each day with Shakeology, and finish off every workout with a Recovery drink. Both supplements have been instrumental in my transformation because now that I drink them daily, I have tons of energy and stamina. 

Fast-forward two years since my sister and brother-in-law first pushed play on P90X and we’ve since conquered several Beachbody programs, including hybrids of P90X, INSANITY® and Asylum®. But we’re not done. Asylum 2® and Combat® are next in the queue! 

I’m now down to 142 lbs. (from 186 lbs.) and have so much confidence. I'm not just talking about being confident to take my shirt off, though that's a nice added benefit, I'm now confident in my abilities to finish what I start and succeed in achieving my goals. Most importantly, Beachbody has given me a roadmap to living a long, healthy life that I know my Mom would be proud of. Thank you Beachbody!
