I feel like I get the comment all the time that Beachbody is ALWAYS launching something new every month. And it's true, there is always new content or a new package coming out. But how else can a company stay relevant and cutting edge without being ahead of the curve?
Well get ready, because this puts them well ABOVE the curve!
Welcome to Beachbody OnDemand!
The Commercial:
So let's get into what exactly is involved in all of this? How will it benefit you? What are the costs? And is it easy to use?
I will do my best to answer all the questions a newbie might be wondering with OnDemand and give you a clear picture of what to expect!
First, Who can use it?
OnDemand is open to anyone who is a teambeachbody.com Club Member. Club is not free, but comes with a small fee each quarter (2.99 a week or about $40 every 3 months) to keep your access to these tools. You can stop and start your membership at any time.
How can you use it?
OnDemand is basically available using any tool that has internet access. Ipod, Ipad, Laptop, or Smartphone. If you are super tech savvy, you can even get it on your tv (I will not go into that, but if you can stream video from your device onto your tv, you can use that same method to use this as well.)
How do I access it?
1. Go to teambeachbody.com and log into your account
2. There are several links on your main page that will lead you to the feature or you can go to http://club.teambeachbody.com for access. They are highlighted in yellow.
3. Once you are on, the main OnDemand page will load.
What programs are loaded right now?
P90X, P90X2, P90X3, Insanity, Turbofire, Brazil Butt Lift, Ten Minute Trainer, ChaLEAN Extreme, Insanity: The Asylum, Tony One - on - One, and Hip Hop Abs.
What does it look like?
1. Your top portion is a scrolling marque of information.
2. Next is your member library... all of the programs that are available to you.
3. Following that is a little sneak peek section (New & Noteworthy). They added one workout of each program that is not listed in your library so you can try it out and buy the DVDs if you fall in love!
It is a great way to try out newer programs that will not get loaded until later when this is out of BETA testing.
4. You can filter the workouts by various things like type (cardio, muscle building) or trainer or length of time.
Here are screenshots from my phone of what each of these areas looks like....
Let's move onto what it looks like when you open a program!
First, select a program and say that you are ready to commit! They will show you what type of workout program it is and the average lengths of the workouts.
You will see the workouts in order listed with a play button next to them, so you can start right at the top or choose one that sounds interesting to you!
Depending on your device, you will see the additional information either below or next to the workouts.
This includes your meal plans, calendars, and program guides. Right at your finger tips, just like if you are opening a brand new Challenge Pack box!
Choose your workout and hit play.
Now this is the awesome part.... you know how when you load in a DVD you have to sit through the boring WARNINGS that come on before the menu? You can't move past it, you have like 2 minutes of legal stuff to sit though before hitting play. Oh gosh, it is like I could knit a sweater during that time!!
Well you will get a warning before loading your workout, you can scroll through then hit accept.
Here's the best part... YOU ONLY HAVE TO DO THIS ONCE PER PROGRAM. Once you hit accept once on a program, say Insanity, you will not see it again!
Thank you!
So here are screenshots of what these steps looks like!!
So far this all seems pretty easy right? As someone who usually struggles with technology, I can honestly say it was super easy to navigate. Way easier than the teambeachbody.com site!
So let's talk inventive and other little details....
- For the month of March there is a pretty amazing promo for OnDemand. For $140 you will get Shakeology of your choice and a 3 month subscription to OnDemand. Basically that is like getting your Shakeology at regular price, and paying $10 extra for unlimited access to streaming programs!
- There is about $1500 worth of content loaded onto your library right now.
- By the end of the month, they will be testing adding programs that you already purchased to your library. It will start with T25 and 21 Day Fix & Extreme. If you buy or bought these programs, you will have OnDemand access to them at no extra cost.
- Where will your #BOD Take You? In the month of March you have the opportunity to win one of three IPAD Air by using the hashtag #BOD with your photos of you using OnDemand on Twitter or Instagram!
So what does this all mean?
One point that I really like is that there is always going to be a guaranteed satisfaction with using this tool. Say you bought T25 and started the program, but found that you did not really like it. You have a 30 day return window with the program, but instead of getting frustrated and feeling like you failed... you can use your free 30 day access to OnDemand (you get a free trial with the purchase of any Challenge Pack) to stream other workouts and see what work better for you. You are given solutions and your coach will never give up on you just because you did not enjoy a product.
You were committed to a goal... maybe to lose 20 lbs... so why would you stop and leave it behind just because you did not like something right from the start? Instead of giving up, OnDemand allows you to keep going and keep trying.
One more point.... When you purchase a Challenge Pack you are committing yourself to it for however long the calendar take you (21, 30, 60 days). By having access to OnDemand, you can keep going with your fitness and nutrition journey without having to wait for the next dvd set to come in the mail. You can get started on the next program while you wait for the FedEx man to deliver your program, and not have time between to lose focus or to completely stop your goals.
Does OnDemand sound like something you would like to try?
