In a class-action suit, some of Beachbody’s coaches allege they’re key to the company’s growth but haven’t been paid accordingly. “[Beachbody] has been able to build its business through unpaid workers for years,” said a partner with Tycho & Zavareei.

L.A.’s latest trendy fitness class is called the Class and takes place at the Class. You’ll sweat, grunt, jump, stomp, clap and wring out your emotions.

Another Beachbody coach in San Francisco said she was convinced to join the company after discovering a high-earning coach on YouTube living a glamorous lifestyle. She didn’t expect to be rich when she joined, but hoped to be a coach full time and earn a reasonable income. But after three years, she found a full-time job and scaled back her activity with Beachbody.

The work she did included doing Beachbody workouts to maintain her fitness and back up her personal testimonials, creating content for Instagram, reaching out to people and responding to messages, and following up with clients. “With the MLM [multilevel marketing] industry in particular, we’ve known for a very long time that it’s very problematic,” Simplicio said. “There are endless reports about how people who go in just do not make any money or they wind up losing money, and those people are disproportionately women … because they’re hoping to make some extra money and help raise their families.”
