You may think you know what Beachbody is all about — “It’s that company that sells exercise programs and supplements, like P90X and 21 Day Fix, and Shakeology, right?”
Technically, yes — but there’s so much more to it.
Beachbody is home to exercise plans and supplements, the Portion Fix eating plan, 2B nutrition program, Shakeology, Beachbody Performance supplements, BEACHBAR, Team Beachbody Coaches, the Beachbody Community, and so much more.

You also get access to exclusive content like Fixate, a cooking show featuring 21 Day Fix creator Autumn Calabrese and her brother, Bobby — Autumn and her chef brother show you how to make healthy Portion Fix-approved meals.
All you need is an Internet connection and you can take all this great content wherever you go.
Here’s a sample of the variety of programs available:
Beginner Workout Programs
Double Time: Tony Horton’s low-impact, family-friendly program features simple, fun moves that you can do with your kids, partner, or a friend. It also comes with an eBook of healthy recipes that everyone in your family will love.
2B Mindset: introduces you to the basics of nutrition to help you kick-start new healthy habits for life.
YOUv2: Get your groove on with professional dancer/Super Trainer Leandro Carvahlo with easy-to-follow dance routines featuring your favorite hits from the ’80s and ’90s.
Intermediate-Beginner/Intermediate Workout Programs
SHIFT SHOP: This unique three-week program from Super Trainer Chris Downing ramps up the intensity each week.
The workouts emphasize drills that build agility, strength, and endurance, while the nutrition plan refines your diet to maximize muscle growth and fat burning.
PiYo: This is a low-impact workout, but don’t be deceived: Chalene Johnson puts you to work with a combination of yoga and Pilates, with extra cardio and strengthening exercises thrown into the mix.
FOCUS T25: Shaun T gets your heart pumping with intense 25-minute workouts that will get you serious results.
This cardio-heavy program demands a decent amount of jumping, but as with all Beachbody programs, you can follow the modifier moves.
Intermediate-Advanced Workout Programs
Body Beast: This weightlifting program focuses on building and defining your muscles, and shedding fat.
It includes two 90-day workout schedules — one that focuses on gaining muscle mass, and the other that focuses on getting lean and ripped.
CORE DE FORCE: This mixed martial arts-inspired program works your entire body without using any equipment.
Super Trainers Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews break down all the moves to demonstrate proper form.
Advanced Workout Programs
The Master’s Hammer and Chisel: This resistance-training program is led by 21 Day Fix creator Autumn Calabrese and Body Beast creator Sagi Kalev.
Six days a week for eight weeks, you alternate between muscle-building workouts and sculpting, cardio-based workouts.
P90X3: In this program from the P90X series, Tony Horton takes you through variety of workouts inspired by mixed-martial arts and Pilates, as well as upper- and lower-body strength training, so you’ll never be bored.
You’ll work out six days a week, with an optional active recovery workout on the seventh day.
Shakeology
You’d have to eat a whole lot of different foods to get the phytonutrients, antioxidants, enzymes, pre- and probiotics, fiber, adaptogens, vitamins, and minerals in a single glass of Shakeology.
Shakeology works to benefit your overall health, helping to support healthy energy and support digestive health.*
This powerful superfood nutrition shake can also help start to clean up your diet by curbing junk food cravings and satisfying hunger.*
On its own, Shakeology does not replace a meal, but it can be a part of a balanced meal when combined with other healthy foods like fruits, nuts, seeds, nut butters, avocados, or various milks.
Drink a morning shake with a healthy breakfast that has a mix of carbs, protein, and fat and you’ll be setting yourself up for success for the rest of the day.
(Note: We don’t recommend Shakeology for kids. But we got your back, parents: Check out the Daily Sunshine section further down…)
2B Mindset
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Ilana Muhlstein co-created the 2B Mindset to help people win the weight-loss battle for good.
This nutrition program can help you lose weight — happily — without feeling deprived or hungry, without exercising, without counting calories, or cutting out whole food groups.
The 2B Mindset addresses the number one issue with weight loss and weight management — food.
Exercise is critical for living a healthy, functional life, but as they say, abs are made in the kitchen — and that’s the problem the 2B Mindset solves.
Beachbody Performance Supplements
To help you make the most of your workouts, there’s the Beachbody Performance (BBP) supplement line.
Whether you want to lose weight or build serious muscle, these five products can help you hit your goals.
Energize gives you energy so that you can work out harder — and if you work out harder, you can burn more calories.*
Hydrate When you sweat, you lose more than just water, you also lose minerals called electrolytes. Hydrate replenishes your body by providing an ideal balance of electrolytes and sugars.*
Recover has phytonutrients shown to reduce inflammation caused by exercise. That means less soreness and faster muscle recovery so you can get back to working out again as soon as possible.*
Recharge targets muscle repair post-exercise — even while you’re sleeping.*
Creatine helps delay fatigue, boost muscle growth, and accelerate recovery, both between sets and workouts.*
BEACHBAR
The BEACHBAR is a crunchy, chewy, and delicious snack bar that is a good source of protein and just 150 calories. BEACHBAR comes in two flavors: Peanut Butter Chocolate and Chocolate Cherry Almond.
Both flavors are made with nut pieces and nut butters, protein crisps, and topped with a ribbon of chocolate. They are gluten-free, have zero grams trans fats, and contain no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
At 150 calories per bar, you get 10 grams of protein, four grams of fiber, and six grams of sugar. Get some today!
