Beachbody's online WOWY workout community and their Million Dollar Body Club are truly extraordinary in the opportunities they represent for someone who wants to lose weight or get in shape.
Unlike many online communities that are primarily just a message board and a pile of stale articles and tips, Beachbody's offering really takes it to the next level. They give new meaning to the term "over-deliver," and a quick look at this list of goodies will prove that conclusively.
The WOWY® Online Gym
WOWY stands for Work Out With You, and it is a system where you can log in to work out in real time with people all over the world. Every member of WOWY who is online at any given time is eligible to invite other people to work out at the same time as them, thus making both of you accountable to each other.
You can schedule your workouts up to 90 days in advance so that you can coordinate work outs with people that you know in the real world, or just fellow WOWY members who also have a work out scheduled at that time.
In addition to the accountability factor of having other people that you have committed to working out with, one of the most irresistible factors of working out in WOWY is that each time you log in, you are eligible to win up to $1,000 in cash and prizes that are given away each and every day. The drawings are totally random, and each person can only enter once per day, so you don't have to worry about anyone being able to "game the system". The prize winners are announced daily, and are real people just like you.
WOWY is the free version of Beachbody's Million Dollar Body Club, and doesn't cost anything to join. You can sign up and work out absolutely free of charge, but still have that priceless accountability factor, and you still have the same chance to win the daily prizes as WOWY members who have signed up for the paid version of the Million Dollar Body Club. To learn more about WOWY, check out the Team Beachbody Community information page.
Million Dollar Body Club Features
The Million Dollar Body Club is both a feature-rich online community, as well as an opportunity for you to actually earn incredible cash prizes, rather than just have a random shot at the prizes by working out in WOWY. The MDB club is radically inexpensive, and has a HUGE list of features and benefits, all detailed below, including the chance to use your fitness success to win up to $10,000 in any given month, or $250,000 in any given year!
The Million Dollar Body Game®
All of the prizes that are given away in WOWY – including the prizes that free members can win – are part of the Million Dollar Body Game. Paying members of the Million Dollar Body Club, however, can also radically increase their chances at winning a ton of cash by simply getting in great shape!
Like any reputable company, Beachbody wants to be able to promote the success of their products and services, so each month MDB Club members can submit their personal success story in order to win cash prizes. Every month two people each win a grand prize of $10,000 by simply attaining great results and then sharing those results with Beachbody.
In addition to the two grand prizes of $10,000 each month, 6 other people will win $1,000 each. Whenever you think about how many people truly put forth enough of an effort to have a success story worthy of a cash prize, you'll quickly see that your chances of winning one of those prizes can be very high.
Also, if you don't win a prize in any given month, you can just submit your story again the following month, and you'll be in even better shape after another 30 days on the program. You can continually submit your story every single month for the entire calendar year.
Each person who wins the $10,000 monthly prize is also automatically entered into the annual contest which is almost exactly like the monthly contest. People work hard and then share their results with Beachbody at the end of the year. Again, a male and a female will both win a top prize – this time $250,000 – and 6 other people will each win $50,000 each.
Many people don't even earn $50,000 per year in their salary. Could you handle taking a year or FIVE off just for getting in shape???
Video Programming
The Million Dollar Body Club's incredible video programming is not just an archive of content, but rather an on-going information stream that is updated frequently, usually at least twice a week.
- The Beachbody News Network (BNN) is just like a TV newscast, only the content is informative, empowering, and educational. The content covers everything from the latest health and fitness news, to interviews with Beachbody trainers, community members, and company representatives who keep the public informed about every step of the Beachbody health and fitness success initiatives.
- The Million Dollar Body Game® Show is a fun and entertaining piece that features stories about people who have won cash through the game, and gives you an inside look at what fueled their success. It is hosted by Danny Teeson and Diana Georger, both of whom are funny, entertaining, and motivational.
- Danny Teeson is also the host of the Slim Style and the Thin Kitchen video series, and his humor and understanding of the weight loss process shine through in both of those programs. Slim Style focuses on dressing so that you look your best at any weight, and Thin Kitchen teaches you how to cook in ways that help you to lose weight, but without sacrificing the fun and great taste of eating and preparing enjoyable foods.
- The Trainer Tips video series is nothing less than incredible. Beachbody features some of the most talented, knowledgeable and entertaining fitness professionals in the industry, and they each have their own series of videos in the MDB Club. They focus on everything from the mental side of motivation and fitness to the in-depth details of how to exercise safely and efficiently in order to get the most out of your work outs in the shortest amount of time.
Diet & Nutrition
The diet and nutrition information available at the MDB Club is as high quality as the rest of their offerings, and there is no shortage of great ways to keep yourself on track from a nutritional standpoint.
- Recipes - Over 200 tasty and healthy recipes are available to all MDB Club members, and they are divided up into: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, Soup & Salads, Breads, Dips, & Sauces, and Desserts.
- Personalized Meal Plan – Simply put in the stats of where you are now, where you want to be, and the type of exercise program you'll be doing, and you get a personalized meal plan that will get you there, complete with a shopping list that you can print out and take to the store with you.
- Michi's Ladder – This is a very cool 5-tiered food distribution grid that breaks down many popular foods into their level of effectiveness with regard to eating healthy. You can choose from the various tiers in order to stay on-track with a simple to understand system of good food vs. not-so good food.
- Additional Tools – Also in the nutrition section of the MDB Club are a body fat estimator, a Body Mass Index calculator (BMI), and another calculator for figuring out how many calories you should be taking in based on your goals.
Exercise and Fitness
The exercise and fitness section is jam packed with tons of informative content that will keep you educated and empowered so that you don't fall victim to some of the common mistakes that many people make on their health and fitness journey.
- Expert Tips and Articles – Over 100 awesome tidbits broken down into nutrition tips, health tips, and fitness tips. It is tons of fresh content, too, rather than boring old standbys that have been seen elsewhere.
- Transformation Tracker – The transformation tracker is just what it sounds like – a great way to keep track of where you are in your program. You plug in all of your present information, the results of an optional self-administered fitness test, and what your goals are. You can then test and track your progress every single step of the way, making sure that you are on target to attain your goals.
- Workout Diary – Health and weight loss are as much mental as they are physical, and you can record your entire journey in one place as a member of the MDB Club. The diary gives you a place to write down everything from the data about your nutrition and exercise program, to your state of mind as you progress through your journey.
- Target Heart Rate Calculator – A lack of intensity is one of the biggest problems people have when it comes to their exercise program, and knowing how high to safely get your heart rate up is a HUGE step in the right direction to make sure you don't fall into that trap. Staying in your target heart rate zone will ensure that you see maximum results from each and every work out.
Trainers and Experts
All of the Beachbody fitness professionals keep their own little corner of cyberspace where you can learn from them specifically. This is really great because most people have a favorite trainer that they really like, and each trainer's corner includes everything from tips and blogs, to real-time chat sessions.

Community and Peer Support
When it comes to supporting each other, and actually feeling like you are part of a community, Beachbody definitely has it nailed. Whether you are talking about your WOWY accountability partners, or your friends in chat or on the message boards, the community aspect is an important part of the MDB Club.
- Member Gallery – The member gallery is a feature-rich, yet easy to use way of finding other people to interact with in WOWY or other areas of the site. You can search by letter, by name, by state/province, or by the fitness program they are using. They also have a very cool option for you to only see the Coaches so that you can partner up with people who are ready and willing to help you out.
- Message Boards – The Beachbody message boards are probably the most informative and active health and fitness message boards that you will find on the Internet. With more than 13,000 active members, and more than 400,000 individual posts, there is nothing about health, weight loss, or the Beachbody programs that you can't learn about and discuss in the community message board section of the Beachbody site.
- Chat Rooms – Interact live not only with other MDB Club members, but with many of the Beachbody trainers as well. There are open chats, scheduled VIP chats with Tony Horton, Chalene Johnson, and others, and there is also a post-work out cool-down chat room, and also a room for chatting with coaches who can help you with your program.
Even the most motivated people can sometimes falter when it comes to their health and fitness, and everyone likes to be recognized for their achievements.
Beachbody's WOWY online gym and their incredible Million Dollar Body Club offer all of the information, interaction, empowerment, and support that you could ask for, and it is all presented in an easy to use, easy to keep track of interface that includes plenty of success tools and incentivies to help you on your path.
For only pennies a day, the Million Dollar Body Club is a no-brainer, and the WOWY online gym offers an accountability structure that really keeps you sticking to those work outs. Overall, membership in the Beachbody community is highly recommended, very inexpensive, and is a huge step towards goal attainment, changing your lifestyle for the better, and for making new friends who share your interests, your desires, and your challenges!
