In a perfect world, all the fitness and nutrition advice you’d really need would be “Get off your rear, eat lots of veggies, and drink water.” Sadly, that doesn’t always do the trick. Bodies can get injured. Workouts can be confusing. Vegetable consumption can be surprisingly challenging. So to help you navigate the mine-filled waters that make up the sea of good health, Beachbody has answers - lots of answers.

Customer Service – for all your “other” questions

For starters, if you have a non-fitness-and-nutrition-question regarding, for example, shipping, orders, web issues, or peace in the Middle East, your first (and hopefully last) stop will be Customer Service.

FAQs -- in case a bunch of people have already asked your question

If you have a fitness and nutrition question, we have answers in a variety of formats. The first place to look is the Fitness Advisor Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Mind you, I’m not saying that your queries aren’t unique. They may, indeed, be unique in the sense that thousands of people may have probably asked them before you did. Have a perusal of the FAQs to see if they’re in there.

Newsletters – for super in-depth answers to general questions

Another couple of great sources of information are the Beachbody Newsletter and the P90X Newsletter.. At this writing, the Beachbody Newsletter was well past its 400th issue. That’s a heck of a lot of info to parse through, so we’ve come up with the nifty past issue index. And here’s a P90X Newsletter index.

Email – not so great for answering your fitness and nutrition questions

After checking out all that information, there’s a slim chance your question still won’t be answered -- or maybe you just really, really want to interface with a member of the Beachbody staff. At this point, sending an email is really tempting, but don’t do it! Steve Edwards alone receives hundreds of emails each day. He tries his best to get through them, but in much the same way William Shatner can’t respond to every piece of fan mail individually, there’s no way Steve can answer all your emails, so your best bet is to hit the boards.

The Message Boards – for one-on-one answers to your questions

The Team Beachbody Message Boards, specifically the Nutrition or Fitness Forums in the Information & Education section, are the best way to get personalized answers from Beachbody.

Once you’ve gotten to this point, the quickest way to get an answer is to use the search feature towards the top of the page. If that doesn’t work, our friendly, courteous Advice Staff makes a point of reading everything posted in these two forums. We are, however, human, so if you think your question has been skipped, just add a post to your thread with a “bump.”

Keep in mind that if the coaches and members of the Team Beachbody community have answered your question sufficiently, we might not chime in. So, if you’re interested in our responses more than those of the general community, let us know when you post. Don’t discount non-Beachbody staff answers though. There are a lot of very knowledge people on our community.

When we do answer, either the Advice Staff will chime in, or if they deem it necessary, they’ll pass your question up the chain to one of our specialists, including the aforementioned Steve Edwards.

Please allow 24 hours for us to get to your questions and keep in mind that we don’t work weekends, unless we’re really, really bored. If your question is so urgent that you can’t wait that long, it’s probably an issue too important to be asking across cyberspace and you might want to talk to your doctor or health specialist.

Chat Rooms – roll the dice, you might get an answer

Finally, the Chat Rooms are probably the most instant way to get a personalized answer, but keep in mind that if you’re hoping for an in-depth dialog with Tony Horton, you’re not alone. Odds are that the answers you get will be quick and to-the-point, so if you require a conversation or you know your question is a tricky one, you’re much better off on the Message Boards.

Embarking on a new life of fitness can be overwhelming. And even if you’re a long-time exerciser, finding advice that suits your individual needs can be frustrating. With this in mind, we’ve come up with an assortment of venues for you to address your concerns. Hopefully, one of them will be a perfect fit!

Hi! Where do you typically workout, i.e. garage, living room with carpet, hardwood floors, etc?

Are you aware that it is against Beachbody policy to post links to advertise your coach site on any of the Beachbody forums???

You may wanna (re)read the coaching agreement.

I actually have a question on the Chin-Up Max. Can it be used with a chin-up bar that hangs in the door frame as opposed to a traditional chinup bar? I have a Gold Gym chin-up bar and I want to make sure the Chin-Up Max would work with it.

Thanks!

I took that as when i do the workout, and when i do the stretch...because honestly...due to time constraints, its not always going to be at the same time (or if im sore, i hold off until that evening to do the stretch. Dont do two of the regular workouts in the same day...even if you love them, you'll burn out too quickly from soreness (and just all-out dread I love TF, and have been doing it (with mixing a few others) since April, but you've definitely gotta have a 'beat-your-chest' excitement when walking into each of the long workouts...and you wont have that if youre doing two in a day

Good luck with it---its a great way to kick your own booty into shape and the do-ableness to maintain with it too!

have a nice weekend,
Cimbra
