So I got my Beachbody Challenge newsletter issue #31 and Steve Edwards writes an awesome review article of the NEJM “Obesity is contagious study”. I highly suggest reading it and sharing it with freinds and family. I already forwarded mine on.
With that being said I really want to take this time to thank everyone on this thread. Whether you’ve posted once or 300 times, it is us, the customers who make this possible.
As important, if not more important, I want to take the time to personally thank Carl Diekler, CEO of Beachbody, for not only giving us great products but for creating The Beachbody Challenge and helping people get involved.
I spoke with Traci Morrow on the phone tonight for a good 20 minutes and since camp, her and I have talked about my fitness goals and coaching goals. But tonight we started to talk a little bit more about Carl Diekler and I asked Traci to please thank him for acknowledging this 300 thread when it was truly in it’s infancy and for acknowledging me on his blog.
I work for a midsize pharmaceutical company and I don’t know if I’ll ever get personally acknowledged by my CEO. In fact, I don’t even think I know the name of the CEO of my company. Carl is out there with us. He does the programs, he’s on myspace, I see him in WOWY, he shares videos of the making of P90X on youtube.
Just like I felt like I’ve gotten to know Tony through the videos, I feel like I’ve gotten to know Carl because he’s realy made himself accessible to all of us. He’s not some “Mr. Burns” type character whose only in it for the money. He is someone who I believe generally cares in the health and well being of this nation and is truely trying to bring it to the people.
So I just want to share my personal gratitude towards Carl for acknowledging me and giving us all not just great products but the ability to communicate with great individuals. Thanks Carl.
You all have a great night.
Joey
