Beachbody Reviews

Pros

From a business standpoint Beachbody’s products are top notch. There is no other company that mixes fitness and nutrition in their product catalog. Beachbody continues to push out fitness and workout programs that will flat out get you into shape no matter who you are. As for the nutrition have you seen all the greatness in Shakeology? Also Beachbody just hired an amazing resource who knows how to market Shakeology. This resource could really help elevate Beachbody’s nutritional presence in the marketplace.

What about what Beachbody offers to its employees? There is a program called the Awesome Manager, which can be life changing. This program does not mess around. It’s an eye opening course on how to become a fabulous worker. The knowledge gained from this course can be leveraged in all facets of life.

Beachbody just recently upgraded their eCommerce platform. Depending on who you talk with at Beachbody you either are told we are a fitness/nutrition company or we are a technology company. For all the techies out there Beachbody has proven they want to the leader in the technology space. Beachbody’s environment allows for new technologies to be leveraged and explored.

Advice to Management

I heard there are ‘skip’ meetings within the organization. I think these are an absolute necessity and should include all levels of employees. It allows people to have their voice heard from someone other than their immediate manager.

Pros

Team environment, transparent management, so many perks. This company really cares about its employees and achieving its mission to help people live healthy, fulfilling lives.

Pros

- Lots of good people who are really committed to doing a good job
- Free access to workouts, gym onsite, so you can workout whenever you want
- Pretty good work/life balance most of the time, for most teams. Some teams will get after hours last-minute rush demands because there's a sudden idea from higher up.
- Free snacks, Shakeology, and supplements. Food trucks most days.

Advice to Management

Trust your people to do the jobs you hired them for. Be more transparent.

Pros

LOVE working at Beachbody. I get to wear whatever I want to work, My hours are flexible- it's results oriented, so you get the job done, you're good. Free gym on the second floor with showers. Free Shakeology all day every day. Free awesome snacks, coffee, etc. Wonderful and smart people. Pay is competitive.

Pros

I worked at Beachbody for 8 years and was inspired by the smart leadership and talented colleagues everyday. The company mission of helping people is always at the forefront of decisions. While the company has gone through growth and transitions, the leaders are proactive, smart and no afraid of change. The Founders, Carl and Jon provide outstanding motivation and leadership. A great place to work and are good to employees.

Advice to Management

Stay curious and bold.

Pros

Gym and workout program access, discount on products

Advice to Management

Invest in the company and the people that are still there. People are running away at a rapid rate because there is no room for upward mobility and money is wasted on non essential things.

Pros

This is a company that wants you to want to be there. The company's vision is clear, and so are the overall goals for the company. Leadership is transparent, the company has a culture focused on fitness and health (including plenty of perks and like-minded people), and the work makes a difference in people's lives.

Pros

I have been at Beachbody for almost two years now and I thought it was time for me to write a review. My first impression was that this was a pretty cool company with a sort of startup feel to it even though it was a $1B+ company. In the two years since I started, the place has only gotten better. Granted, there have been some layoffs and the thought of leaving has occurred to me, but I realized that this is the best place I've been. What are the odds of finding another "best company ever"? The odds are low.

There are issues and problems that need solving as all companies have and the reason why they need employees. But the people are great and there are a ton of great perks and benefits. And they just keep adding new perks like unlimited vacation, one telecommute day per week, fresh fruit delivered to the lunchroom everyday, access to the nutritional products in the lunchroom, a shakebar where you can request fresh Shakeology shakes to be blended for you all day long with fresh and frozen fruits, even the ability to request a shake from your desk or phone app, an onsite gym with access to all Beachbody workout programs, your own Beachbody on Demand account so you can work out at home or while traveling on business, employee challenges with prize drawings for things like apple watch, beats earbuds, or $1000 Nordstrom gift card. Plus the health benefits are incredible too.

Yes, this is a great company to work for. I highly recommend!

Advice to Management

My best advice to management would be to separate the CEO from the nutrition side of the business and let him focus on the fitness part which he is so great at. Too much micromanaging of the day-to-day decisions is harmful and the experts should be allowed to make the decisions that need to be made: from Marketing to Product Development to Operations.

Pros

Great people who work there.

Advice to Management

You're too top heavy.

Pros

Flexible work hours. Pays very good. If you able to negotiate, you will get hell lot of money for any position (almost 200% of the market rate)

Advice to Management

I feel sorry for the owners. They are relying on wrong set of people. Complete management is sucking their money out and not delivering anything back. Hope John & Carl will understand soon. Laying off 100+ people every year will never bring business back.

John & Carl.
You need to get right leaders who can give you out of box thought to make your business successful again. Its clearly visible that you guys are out of ideas now. And your inefficient management is not capable to deliver anything to help you out. Else, this ship will go down slowly
