My Personal Bio:
I have been a P90X user since late November 2007, which puts me at near 8 months of using the beach body systems. (This was written on 6/9/2008)I became a coach on 2/25/2008, and since then have spent my time working out, getting my friends motivated, and working with Smurf to get our fitness Blog off the ground. (http://www.fitlifesf.com go check it out!)
What I don't want to be, is the faceless dill hole who exploits people to get a percentage of their purchases. (for every coach who cares about their friends and clients, there is some tool trying to make a buck.) For me, this isn't a money making scheme, it is a mechinism to rebuild my body, and get people I care about in the best shape of their lives.
I have been in sales a long time, and I refuse to work with a product I don't believe in. I believe in P90X. P90X Plus needs some tweaking, but is a great "mix up." I have purchased Power 90 for a few friends and family members, and have several friends doing P90. I have seen the results, heck, I am the results.
Personally, I have gotten fantastic results using P90X. Because of the sweat investment I have made my soccer playing has improved, my fighting (Russian SAMBO) has improved, heck every aspect of my physical game has improved. And being a 36 year old guy who competes against 18-30 year olds both on the pitch and on the mats, I need any edge I can get. (granted my soccer team is full of the 30+ crowd, I am still the 4th oldest on the team)
This is currenlty my edge. Hard work, dedication and sweat.
I plan on living a long and active life. I am want to be the old guy playing soccer, the old guy still fighting, not training in the "Softer Style" martial arts. I want to be able to go biking, running, hiking, rock climbing, paint balling, (whatever) whenever the urge hits. AND I NEVER WANT TO NOT FEEL LIKE I CAN'T!
My Transformation Story:

I wish I could contact you first, but if you want to tlak to me directly, you need to send me an e-mail.
If you want the weekly updates online, see what is going on at: http://www.fitlifesf.com or e-mail me at rlt5437@gmail.com
Cycle 1: P90X Classic. I saw great results; stronger, more durable, and way more solid.
Cycle 2: P90X Plus. More maintaining, and confusing my muscles. Prepping for Cycle 3. (slightly dissapointed with Plus. It is 80% great, but needs that last 20% to be amazing)
Cycle 3: Started 6/9/2008. P90X Doubles. Just starting week 5 (7/07/08) and looking forward to kicking butt in the 2 a days!
(Old stuff)
All I can say is that people are noticing the difference. The biggest change has been in my soccer playing. A few guys on the team have commented on how fit I am looking, but the major change has been my play. Until I started the program I had fallen about 3 steps behind the 18-25 year old players. They were faster, had more stamina, and were able to play much more competitively. Then I finished the 3rd week of the program, and I noticed that I was keeping up with the guys who were previously running circle around me. Every week I played better, my quickness returned, and my all around play is back to near where I was 10 years ago. AMAZING.
And that is just one little aspect of the changes that I have been going through. I feel great; I am craving good foods, drinking less, and playing even harder. All in all this has been a great experience. Who knew?
So, I have become one of "those guys." I can't help but talk about P90X to everyone I know. Oddly, or not, the program comes up in many of the conversations I have everyday. People ask, "Are you working out again?"
"Funny you should ask, have you seen that wacky infomercial..." :)
