Diamond Retreat Weekend Recap

Beachbody Coach Life... Why does it always look so fun? 

To answer my question about coach life and why it always seems so fun... well because it actually is. True story. I get to make my living by working out, helping other people feel great about themselves and build a business all while surrounding myself with incredible people. Oh and we travel ALL the time. It's a job that never actually feels like a J.O.B.

This past weekend my success partner and I teamed up to treat our diamond coaches (aka our rock stars) to an incredible weekend to celebrate all of their hard work. I cannot tell you how much of a blessing it is to be able to "treat" them like we did this past weekend. A few years ago doing things like this would have been way out of the budget.

We rented a house for them in Deep Creek, MD. It was very large and beautiful providing us with lots of space to kick back and relax. Everyone arrived Friday evening. We had posters of themselves along with a retreat shirt with our theme of "blessed" screen printed across the chest and also a new inspirational mug and a year subscription to SHAPE magazine waiting for them all on the table upon arriving at the house. They were excited about the little treat waiting there to welcome them.

We had a nice big lasagna dinner that night and did some ice breaker activities along with some good old fashion bonding. Even though we work on our phones all the time and live our life out loud on social media, we spent most of that evening unplugged simply getting to know one another better. It felt good to not have our phones in our hands all night.

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early for a team workout. One of our coaches Michelle is a Beachbody LIVE instructor so she lead us thru a Country Heat Workout. After that we enjoyed a hearty breakfast then helped get each other ready for the photo shoot. It was fun to help everyone pick out outfits and help do each others hair.

Our photo shoot lasted until early afternoon. We shoot inside and outside and got lots of great images for us to use for our business. Once the photographer left we had a healthy lunch cooked on the grill.

AHHH!!! Our not so wanted guest at the photo shoot. Man did we scream like a bunch of girls when this guy came out to visit us.

Then we packed up and headed over to the lake. We had rented a boat for the day because after all the retreat can't be all work with no play. The weather was so so but the rain managed to hold off until the end. It give us enough time to get some tubing in too.

Off to go boating

Once we got home piled into the hot tub that our house had and sipped on some tasty margaritas that I made before we went upstairs to feast on our taco and ice cream sundae bar that we planned for the night. We might drink Shakeology on most days but sometimes you have to cheat a little on your meal plan.

Cheers to hard work and big goals! 

Once dinner settled we spent quite some time working on our vision boards. What is a vision board? It's a goal board where you write out your goals that you have set for yourself for the next year. Not all of the goals have to be business goals some can be personal too. It was a great bonding event to sit around the table with these other women and listen to the vision they are creating for their futures. It's powerful when you can surround yourself with the "dreamers" in life

Crafting our dream boards

After the vision boards were done we wrapped up the night sitting on the couches watching movies and doing a little bit of work from our phones and laptops.

The weekend came to a close on Sunday morning. We had one last healthy meal together before we packed up and all headed back to our separate worlds.
