PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Ever won-der what 1,000 people look like af-ter an intense workout in the same room with one of the biggest names in the fitness world leading the way? Sweaty, that’s how. Extremely sweaty.

That’s the only way Autumn Ca-labrese would have it.

Calabrese gave selected Beach-body coaches a sneak preview of her upcoming 21 Day Fix Extreme work-out during a meeting at the Omni William Penn Hotel on Jan. 11.

Calabrese is launching sales of the 21 Day Fix Extreme workout on Feb. 2 after her wildly successful 21 Day Fix became one of Beachbody’s most highly sought-after products of 2014.

One of the hotel’s grand and elegant conference rooms quickly transformed into an impromptu fit-ness gym. White evening gowns and dress shirts and ties got tossed aside for yoga pants and tank tops. Upwards of 1,000 coaches crammed into the spacious, two-level room.

Calabrese led an intense, full-body cardio workout that soon had sweat dripping all over the woven-carpet floor. Her work out focused on doing four repetitions of an exercise, then incrementally adding another to the list and repeating the cycle, until

PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Imagine you’re on vacation at your favorite destination overseas and you’re ready to stay on schedule with your workouts. No need to bring your favorite DVDs and laptop: Just roll your yoga mat at the hotel poolside and stream your PiYo Sculpt on your tablet while your husband streams his P90X3 Incinerator on his phone.

Such service is soon to be available as Beachbody is busy preparing to launch

Beachbody On Demand this spring, said CEO Carl Daikeler during an appearance with coaches on Jan. 11.

Daikeler unveiled the On Demand plan and said many of the company’s most famous titles will be available On Demand for the spring launch, including the whole Tony Horton collection of P90X, P90X2, and P90X3. Daikeler confirmed that Insanity, Hip Hop Abs, Les Mills Combat, Chalene Johnson’s ChaLEAN Extreme are among the first several workouts that will be piloted over the next couple of months. Daikeler said that all Beachbody workouts,

along with all extra material that typically comes with them, such as meal plans, recipes, schedules, etc., will be available to all club members On Demand.

Club Membership can be purchased by itself for only $2.99 per week, which comes out to less than $39 per quarter. Membership is included in many Beachbody promotions, such as ordering Shakeology as a preferred customer or “discount coach.” Membership includes an array of online services, such as a personal coach for support and guidance, discounts, VIP access to celebrity trainers

and Beachbody experts.Those interested in checking out the

Beachbody Club Membership can do so at Beachbodycoach.com/BillGurden.

The On Demand streaming service will be unlimited usage, and will be able to be streamed to any computer, tablet, or smart phone around the world, Daikeler said.

Daikeler posted a video to his Facebook page on Jan. 25, when he was excited to see how easily he could stream the beta test of On Demand to his I-Phone, then use Air Play to watch the streamed workout program on his television.

In only two months, I went from having 47-year-old love handles developed from drinking six packs to developing six-pack abs. When I saw how effective and powerful the Beachbody programs were for my wife and me, I wanted to help others reach their goals.

In November, my wife Toni and I started Go Strong With Gurden as family fitness coaches to help other men and women see how they can easily make sustainable changes in their daily lives to get in shape, lose weight, eat clean, and – in general – lead a much healthy lifestyle that remedies a whole slew of medical problems and prevents countless other medical issues.

So what’s our story?Well, by trade I’m a high school English and

journalism teacher in Burlington County, New Jersey. Toni is a behavioral health consultant and trainer. Neither

of us has ever been deemed obese, but like the majority of Americans we were carrying at least an extra 20 to 30 pounds than we should have been thanks largely to the unhealthy eating habits and even more unhealthy products produced by the food industry.

After a couple of weeks of watching Toni change her eating habits and watching her do the PiYo and 21 Day Fix workouts, I was intrigued and asked if I could join her in a workout. Then I was hooked. Never would I have imagined that I’d soon be in the best shape of my life, even better than when I wrestled in high school. Never would I have imagined that working out together would become one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things we had ever done together in our

21 years of marriage.I lost 24 pounds in two rounds of the 21 Day Fix.

Altogether, I’ve lost 38 pounds – from 220 to 182 – and 21 Day Fix, the first two months of P90X3, and

21 Day Fix Extreme to release Feb. 2Autumn Calabrese, celebrity trainer and creator of the wildly popular 21 Day Fix program, leads selected Beachbody coaches in a live preview workout of her new 21 Day Fix Extreme workout while in Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 11. Among those in the crowd working up a sweat are Toni Gurden and husband Bill Gurden of Go Strong With Gurden. Calabrese launches sales of the new Extreme on Feb. 2.

there were a series of 10 exercises, each adding on to the previous.

Oh, yes, and it all happens non-stop for 30 minutes. Be-fore you know it, the 30 minutes have past and you are left with a sweaty mess that at the same time feels invigorating.

“Twenty-one Day Fix Extreme is not for beginners,” Calabrese said. “This program is for 21 Day Fix graduates,

people who have done other intense/extreme workout pro-grams, athletes, someone who likes intensity, who wants to push and see just how far they can take their body in 21 days.”

What made 21 Day Fix so popular is its accessibility to a wide range of fitness levels, from those with no pre-vious fitness activity to the most experienced. The eating plan that accompanies 21 Day Fix teaches people portion control and the appropriate daily servings of the various

food groups, along with containers to accomplish meal planning.

With the Extreme version, Calabrese maintains the containers and meal plan, but said she tweaked the diet to reflect that of when she is preparing for a bikini com-petition. Calabrese said the workouts and meal plan will produce the shredded competition body.

Shakeology are three of the four keys that have gotten me there. At 47 I weigh less than what I weighed at 18! Are you kidding me? I lost six inches off my waist in only two months, and am wearing size 32 pants (loosely, even!) for the first time in 20 years.

As for Toni, besides being the fourth key of inspiration that has gotten me to my goals, she has reached her goal of losing 30 pounds on the 21 Day Fix plan and Shakeology. With fibromyalgia and a gluten allergy, she said she made excuses why she couldn’t have the body she’d want to have. Three months later, this 41-year-old mother of three now owns a slimmed and toned figure that she had at 19 when we got married. She went from wearing size 12/14 to size 6 in three months.

As parents, we must realize that our children look to us as role models and are greatly influenced by our choices, even by what we put in the grocery cart each week and how we spend our time. By mom or dad – or ideally both – choosing to eat clean and say no to much of the processed food industry, and by choosing to exercise in front of the TV instead of sitting on the sofa and watching it with a bowl of chips, children can’t help but be changed in a positive way.

Our two adult sons, 18 and 20, are both

strapping, buff young men. The 18-year-old lost 40 pounds from the fall and is the chef leading the way for our healthier family meal choices. Our 11-year-old son often chooses to work out with us by his own choice. A family that works out together grows stronger together.

Even though Go Strong With Gurden is in its infancy, we are not alone. Angie in Alabama has lost 24 pounds in two months, and Ronnie in Mississippi 15 pounds in four weeks. Just this week, New Jersey residents Stacy and Leona lost 6 and 5 pounds, respectively, in their first week. We are each proof that the Shakeology shakes and world famous Beachbody programs work. They work because they’re 30 minutes, in and out, right in your own home. You know the titles: P90X3, Shaun T’s Insanity line (including the new Insanity Max:30), PiYo, 21 Day Fix, Les Mills Combat and so on.

One huge reason they work is because we each support and encourage one another, and share recipes and ideas. We help you stay on track and reach your goals. You can’t get that kind of help and support at a gym or by doing it alone. Help us help you.
