9 Week Control Freak

9 Week Control Freak

Autumn Calabrese is BACK with a brand new program, 9 Week Control Freak and I cannot wait. Don’t let the name of this program turn you off. This isn’t about becoming obsessive. It’s about taking control of the things that profoundly impact your quality of life - including strength, stamina, nutrition, and rest.  By focusing on what you can control, you take back your power to respond to everything else life throws your way.

So, let’s dive right in!!

9 Week Control Freak is divided into 3 phrases that increase in intensity + difficulty, 3 weeks at a time. You’ll workout 5 days a week, for 18-30 minutes a day. To complete the program, you’ll need a few key pieces of equipment:

  • Control Track with B-LINES Resistance Band - this adjustable resistance device easily attaches to your door frame. It can also be mounted on a wall. (You’ll get a demonstration video + installation guidelines to ensure your safety!)

  • Fitness step - like the one used in Transform :20, this step will work your body to its full potential!

  • Core ball - an inflatable, non-weighted ball to help take your workouts to the next level!

  • Dumbbells - you’ll want a set of light, medium, and heavy weights.

Check out this short video to see what equipment is used:


WHAT MAKES 9 WEEK CONTROL FREAK UNIQUE?

You’re going to get an incredibly effective + intense workout…in just 18-30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. The program combines 3 innovative methods - Density Training, Strength Complexes, and Tabata - in 3 of the 5 weekly workouts, to target major muscle groups with an incredible combo of resistance training and cardio; you’ll build strength, increase stamina, and boost your cardiovascular system.

The program also includes revolutionary new equipment. You’ll use the Control Track to hit your muscles from multiple angles and heights to increase time under tension… key for muscle-growth! The Core Ball is used in every workout to target + engage your core. 

And by totally integrating nutrition and a proactive approach to rest and recovery, this program will give you every tool you need to succeed + live your happiest, healthiest life.

HOW DOES NUTRITION FIT INTO 9 WEEK CONTROL FREAK?

Feeding your body well plays a key role in your training and in leading a healthy life. The key is finding a nutrition program that gives you CONTROL over food, rather than the other way around.

You'll receive lifetime access to TWO Proven Nutritional Programs to help you reach your goals. Each offers a unique way to approach food without having to count calories or skip favorite foods!

Both of these programs are video-based, SIMPLE to follow and will eliminate any confusion on how to eat your way to reach your goals.

I encourage you to also incorporate a daily dose of delicious superfoods for breakfast in the morning! This shake (which can also be made into pudding, cake pops, brownies, cookies...you name it) is meticulously crafted with as many as 60+ superfood ingredients, including premium proteins, phytonutrients, probiotics, prebiotics, adaptogens, digestive enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and more. If you could use help with healthy energy and cravings then you'll love it!

It’s available in both plant-based vegan and whey-based formulas, as well as amazing flavors like chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and café latte.

Meal Planning


It was like the equivalent of my ‘nutritional rebirth!’ I’m taking you back to August, 2015 — that’s when I was introduced to Autumn Calabrese, the Portion Fix plan and her program, 21 Day Fix.

Let me explain…

Before those little color-coded portion control containers, I basically struggled with my nutrition since college! Years of doing weight watchers still hadn’t taught me how to eat properly. Autumn’s approach to nutrition simplified it for me and gave me consistency over how I was fueling my body!

The Portion Fix system was a LIFE CHANGER!

It’s crazy to think that it’s been almost five years since the launch of the uber-popular 21 Day Fix and portion control system. So many lives impacted. So many pounds and inches shed because of this simple approach to eating.

Beachbody took note of the impact the portion control containers were having and they incorporated them into nearly ALL of the nutrition plans for Beachbody programs that have launched ever since!!


What Exactly is the Portion Fix System?

For those of you new to Beachbody and the portion control containers, let me break it down for you.

Each color coded container represents a specific food group

  • Red = Protein

  • Yellow = Healthy Carbs.

  • Green = Veggies

  • Purple = Fruit

  • Blue = Healthy Fat

  • Orange = Seeds & Dressings.

You’ll also need a teaspoon (not provided) for your healthy oils and nut butters.

Each color coded container also represents a portion size.
They give you a visual on what a correct portion should look like on your plate.

Every program specifies how much of each container to eat.
Every fitness plan has an accompanying nutritional guide which advises you on how many of each color container you should eat daily. This number depends on the program you’re following, your calorie zone, and fitness goals.

And NO you cannot fill your containers with just anything.
The goal is to educate you on what’s clean and what’s not. So, you will be following a list of approved ingredients. If it’s on the list, go for it. If it’s not on then list, then more than likely it’s a NO NO! But there are always exceptions, so if you’re not sure, just ask me!

I love the structure this system provides! I love how straight forward it is. This system has truly helped me remain consistent and satisfied with my nutrition for years now!

But now, an overhaul is coming!

Even though the container system works like a charm, an overhaul is coming with the Ultimate Portion Fix (UPF), releasing in March 2019!

The Ultimate Portion Fix Explained

Autumn Calabrese has compiled 5 years of feedback, experience, and even complaints by talking with customers about their challenges, helping them use the meal plan effectively to get the best possible results. Let’s face it; nutrition will never be one size fits all. That’s why Autumn is so committed to investing in herself and her knowledge of nutrition. Autumn even became a Certified Holistic Coach to bring more value, depth, and diversity to the program! Lucky us — and she’s taking all that new knowledge and wrapping it up into this brand new premium nutritional program!

I couldn’t be more excited to dig deep into this upgrade and go all-in as soon as it’s available in March. More knowledge means power and greater results for YOU and ME!


UPF_Fix-Your-Portions-Fix-Your-Life2.jpg

Why Should You Try The Ultimate Portion Fix?

THIS IS NOT A DIET – it’s a lifestyle upgrade!

This is a stand alone nutrition program that can be used with any Beachbody program OR gym workout. Maybe you aren’t interested in home workouts and prefer CrossFit or running. This nutrition program can help you reach your goals and enhance your performance. This learning experience is designed for EVERYONE (and you’ll see why below). The plan will teach you how to eat better, not just provide a bunch of rules. In the end, your mindset and perspective towards food is going to change.

The goal is to build a healthy relationship with food making it a sustainable plan that will keep you wanting to eat healthy long-term. YES!!

First, let’s talk sugar…
It’s no secret that sugar addiction is a huge problem and that’s why UPF is laser focused on helping you crush that addiction. You’ll learn why sugar is so addictive and strategies on how to break the habit.

It’s something the whole family will benefit from.
Finally a nutritional system that is designed for the entire family! I’m sure you’re tired of the complaints and cooking several meals every night. With UPF, there’s a big emphasis on children and how to get them to eat healthy, too! Don’t forget, Autumn is a mom and she’s had to face the same challenges we all have — like the “I want pizza” argument, and she’s got strategies to help you WIN with the family!

You are now able to create your own custom meal plan.
You’ll learn how to create your own meal plans based on your specific goals and dietary restrictions, like paleo, vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free!

What’s included with the program?

  • 30 New Videos. There will be no guessing here. These videos explain everything from how to use the containers to the main principles of the plan.

  • Fixate Volume 2 Cookbook: Including 102 brand new delicious healthy recipes.

  • Lunch Ideas for Kids: I LOVE that this is for the whole family! This PDF contains 75 healthy options for kids’ lunches to help them eat a balanced diet.

  • Nutrition + App Tracking: You’ll have access to Beachbody’s nutrition app which allows you to track your container consumption, water intake, weight, and so much more right from your smartphone!

  • Portion Fix Containers: You can’t do this program without them!

  • Beachbody Insulated Tote Bag (included with certain packages): Which comes with containers, ice packs, and lots of storage to help you eat healthy on the go!

Plus, a chance to workout LIVE with Autumn!
Okay, unfortunately “live” doesn’t mean “live and in person,” but this is pretty awesome, too! Autumn will be reshooting 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme and you can stream it LIVE and workout with Autumn and the cast as they film the new workouts! You really feel like you’re part of the process.


How can you get in on the LIVE workouts?
All you have to do is invest in yourself and purchase the Ultimate Portion Fix when it launches March 18th (March 4th for Coaches) and you’ll receive an EXCLUSIVE invitation to join.


But your order HAS to be before April 1st for this awesome opportunity!

At this point you might be wondering what the prices are. I’m going to share all the package options and pricing below. These prices are the promo prices that will be in effect from March 4th to May 31st, 2019. These prices do not reflect the coach discount if you are a discount coach.
