Hello, and welcome to the Fit Club Network! I’m Dave Ward, a husband, father, attorney, triathlete and one half of a husband/wife Beachbody Coaching Team! I am currently an Independent Diamond Coach and helping people get fit and, more importantly, get paid to get in the best shape of their lives is a passion of mine. I simply cannot say enough about how Beachbody has changed both our physical and financial lives.
Personal Fitness Coaching
Beachbody is founded on peer support. Unfortunately, a high percentage of people do not complete the program of their choice. Many walk away simply because they feel alone. I want to help you beat those odds. Like most people, my life has been a roller coaster of fitness so I can help you regardless of your current level of fitness. My wife Monica is also a great resource for women’s fitness issues. If you don’t know her, you should. She’s simply incredible.
I want to help you get fit. As you will see from my story, I’ve struggled with my fitness over the years. My ultimate goal with my fitness coaching is to help you change your life. Your program may be designed for 90 days or six weeks of hardcore exercise, but that is a beginning, not the end. I would like to see you get fit in 90 days, but I would love to help you change your life.
Since the summer of 2003 my life has changed dramatically. That was when Monica and I discovered Beachbody and our friend, mentor, and personal punishment distributor, Tony Horton. We started with Power 90 and we both had great results. We then moved on to P90X. To her credit, Monica has maintained her results since 2003. I, on the other hand, struggled with keeping the weight off and staying in shape.
In January of 2007 I decided I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I pulled out the P90 DVD’s and rededicated myself to fitness. In 2007, I did 10,000 push ups and 10,000 sit ups. I also lost 20 pounds, most of which came off in those first 90 days of 2007. I had never felt better and decided to pull out the P90X DVD’s again.

In November of 2007, my father passed away after a long battle with a very rare neurological disorder. He was an avid cyclist and the most gentle person I’ve ever known. I had just started a round of P90X when he got really sick and moved to Phoenix to be closer to us. I stuck to the strength workouts, but couldn’t do the cardio. In January of 2008 I decided to take on the X full time, and even did P90X+.
At around that time we had some friends in town for the Rock and Roll Marathon. One of them qualified for the Boston Marathon. That was inspiring to say the least. My beautiful and talented wife Monica decided to train for the San Diego Marathon, and I decided to start running for the first time in my life. I thought I could not run because I had knee issues associated with an ACL repair in 1994.
In March of 2008 Monica was awarded a Top Coach honor and off we went to Hawaii. We got to work out with Tony Horton and meet the Beachbody Executives. Carl Daikeler (CEO) and John Congdon (President) are really good people, who really understand how Beachbody can change lives, both physically and financially. I am so very lucky to have met them and to have gotten an intimate look at this incredible company.
Another friend of ours is into triathlon. She convinced me to do a sprint Tri in March, and I was hooked. I found that P90X laid such a good base of strength that I was able to do that race with only one week of training. Since then I’vedone two Olympic distance races and five sprint distance races. My goal in 2009 is the SOMA Half-Ironman (1.2 mile swim/56 mile bike/13.1 mile run) Triathlon in Phoenix this September.
Dave After the San Diego International Triathlon
Currently I am absorbed with yoga. It reminds me of a theory on National Defense, “Peace through Strength”. I started yoga with P90X and have continued my practice using Tony Horton’s “Fountain of Youth” from the new One-on-One series. As the year progresses, I will work more on my triathlon skills, but plan to continue to do yoga as a way to build flexibility, strength, and help to calm my mind and body.
This should take my triathlon training to the next level. Stronger, leaner, faster. I’d love to hear your story.
Business Coaching
Enough about me. This part is about you. If you arrived at this site it was likely because you are interested in becoming a Coach. The group of Beachbody Coaches grows every single day, and there are a number of excellent Coaches who can assist you with your business. I hope to tell you why you should choose Monica and me to help you build your business.
Team Concept
We are truly a team. We work the business in tandem, which means you have two people to talk to, two sets of ideas on approaching the business, and twice the potential for downline growth.
In addition to our household team concept, we promote a team concept within our business. Here in Phoenix we encourage our Coaches to band together and present a united front. We have Coaches on our team across the United States, and we are encouraging them to do precisely the same thing. Please contact us if you want more information about Coaches in other U.S. Cities.
Repeatable Systems
We employ a number of strategies, both in person and on the internet. We have print materials and internet materials that you can use to build your business. We don’t charge you for these items. Our goal is to make you an independent Diamond Coach as soon as possible. To do that, you will need to have a system. Our system is tested. We’ve seen strategies succeed and strategies fail. We will provide you with those systems that have been successful and help you build your business.
Commitment to Our Coaches
Our commitment to you, as one of our Coaches, is to provide you with these services and the advice necessary to implement them to make your business a success. This is not a commitment that is made lightly. On numerous occasions we have traveled across the country to assist our Coaches with events and help them build their business. We strongly believe that the personal support of your upline Coach is essential to a successful business. By making this commitment to you, and helping you become a success, we know you will pay that forward and make a similar commitment to your downline Coaches when they sign up.
Please contact me if you have any questions about how I can help you get fit or the Team Beachbody Coaching Opportunity.
