If the answer to any of these questions is yes, read on…. becoming a Health Coach with Take Shape For Life may just be the ideal business you’ve been dreaming of.

A New Kind of Business Model

Take Shape For Life is a new kind of professional business model that is physician-lead and comprised of thousands of independent Health Coaches throughout the United States. Our Health Coaches are the backbone of our business and are the key ingredient that sets TSFL apart.

Health Coaches utilize Relationship Marketing to develop clients and other Health Coaches. Technically, TSFL is a Direct Sales organization, but the truth is, that we are more than a Direct Sales company. We are actually a hybrid business model more similar to franchising without the legal constraints.

Health Coaches offer long-term solutions for people’s weight management challenges and other health concerns while providing the total care support that clients need. Our goal is to help people optimize their health and lead richer and more fulfilling lives. No one else delivers the kind of personalized attention that Health Coaches and Health Care Professionals can give, one-on-one, friend-to-friend. It is a powerful and revolutionary concept that is making history.

Take Shape for Life is a mission driven company

TSFL was founded with a big vision. We are first passionate about peoples’ health and well-being and passionate about products that are proven. With nutritional misinformation running rampant and obesity and other nutritional related diseases now at a national crisis level, the need for our programs, products, and education have never been greater. We offer real solutions, and our passion for helping others optimize their health is what drives us.

Doing it right

TSFL has raised the bar in relation to the standards of conduct and accountability that we expect from our Health Coaches. Every Health Coach represents a product that is golden and a program that has shown indisputable success. What’s more, The Health Institute provides 3rd party credibility and continuing education for any Health Coach seeking to improve and learn more. In short, TSFL gives every Health Coach a professional organization to belong to and the opportunity to own and operate a real business. As a Health Coach, you are given the foundation and framework from which you can build a solid and long-term enterprise.

It is also important to understand that we are not a company that relies on hype or gimmicks. We do not and will not ever offer products that are unnecessary, unproven, or unsafe. Additionally, we are committed to teaching and helping Health Coaches build a long-term business based on client acquisition, service, and retention, and not on self-use or recruiting.

In short, we’re all about helping people first, then being compensated for our coaching of clients to success…and yes, if someone does it right and builds a successful business, he or she may earn total financial freedom. But the model of the business demands that the approach must be in alignment with the mission.

Getting Started

Getting started as a Health Coach is simple and easy. We provide you with the training tools and mentoring you’ll need in order to succeed. Choose to join either through our standard program or our professional track.

Standard Program:
When someone joins Take Shape For Life, they either join a Health Coach by purchasing an Application Pak for $99 or they purchase the optional Career Builders Pak for $199.

Once registered, each applicant will be given the opportunity to review a simple short discussion of the product line and will be required to take the Basic Product Knowledge exam developed by The Health Institute. This exam is mandatory since all Health Coaches need to have a good understanding of the products they recommend to customers. The exam is a simple open-book quiz that can be taken online. An applicant has 30 days in which to complete and return the exam.

Successful completion of the Basic Product Knowledge Exam allows a Health Coach to offer Take Shape For Life/Medifast products to individual clients. If a Health Coach chooses, there are no further requirements for additional courses or examinations. However, if a Health Coach wishes to increase his or her knowledge and open additional channels to earn through TSFL, he or she can do so by taking the Health Coach Certification Course developed exclusively for Take Shape For Life by The Health Institute. Most Health Coaches who are serious about building a large business will opt to take the certification.

Professional Program:
A physician or other Health Care Professional can join Take Shape For Life in our Professional Program by purchasing a Health Professionals Pak for $139.

Like all Health Coaches, applicants for the Professionals’ track will need to take the Basic Product Knowledge Exam, but because of the medical nature of our programs, will be afforded additional opportunities such as being able to profile patients/clients as well as an invitation to join The Health Institute.

The compensation plan is the same for both Health Coaches and Health Care Professionals. However, Health Coach incomes are referred to generally as “compensation” while Health Coaches(Professional Program) who are licensed healthcare providers or medically credentialed earn incomes as “compliance fees” paid to them for their assistance in helping clients and patients comply with the Medifast/TSFL Product and program protocols.

Let us help you get everything set up. We can guide you with some of our techniques for finding prospective customers, following up, customer service, structuring your business, etc….
