About Me

My name is Dara. I am a full time momma to my 2 year old daughter, a full time accounting assistant, and a Beachbody coach. I joined Beachbody in 2005, when I was in college. I had gained some extra weight from having a little too much fun. One night I saw an infommercial for TurboJam and got hooked into it. Other than high school sports, it was the first program I stuck to. Chalene Johnson was motivating and her product really worked. After I completed TurboJam, my fitness journey took the back burner for a while. I was working full time and was still in college full time. It wasn't until after I had my daughter that I thought about Beachbody again. Some of my friends from college were becoming Beachbody coaches. At that point I didn't know exactly what that was. I signed on for my first challenge group with Brazil Butt Lift, but gave up. The programs weren't as easy as I thought and I was plain lazy. I tried
again with Shakeology and TurboFire. Chalene kicked my butt! I loved having a dance party every day. I started a second round of TurboFire in a extremely active challenge group with a new coach. I then decided to become a coach. HEY who doesn't like a discount on products? 25% is a lot of money when you are a single momma. I then bought a challenge pack. I found my soulmate work out! Les Mills Combat! 

I was a discount coach for a few months. I was active in my challenge group, completing my work outs every day, drinking shakeology, and running. I had lost my baby weight and began to tone my body. I lost 15 lbs total. I acheived something I thought I would have never seen again. I weighed less than I did before I was pregnant. My mind was clear and I was actually happy. I do credit my challenge group for all of this. They kept me on track with my work outs and nutrition. I started to eat "cleaner" and saw more weight drop off. I was actually getting results I've always dreamed of. Not only did I gain the body I wanted, I accomplished goals and became a better person. I realized that these complete strangers took me into a group and mentored me not only to get into shape, but feel better about myself as a person. I have always struggled with self-image and low confidence. For once in my life, I felt like I belonged. I didn't feel not welcomed. This group of coaches that I have joined changed my life. That is the exact reason I became an active coach. I want to help you. I want to help you with you fitness goals and why you want to accomplish them!
