| - I responded to a job ad as a health coach, as I went to school for nutrition, I figured this was a legit job in the nutrition industry. I showed up to what I realized was a gym, along with 15-20 other people to listen to an Herbalife sales pitch from the owner of the gym... Although everyone seemed very nice, I didn't appreciate being lured in through a job posting, thinking I was coming from an interview, to find out that all they are doing is trying to add Herbalife members to their team so that they can make money off of you. I tried one of the shakes, and it was pretty good, however, they expect you to replace whole meals with shakes... You are only losing weight because you are drinking low calorie protein shakes instead of eating real food.... I agreed to come back a second day to meet with someone one on one to see what it was really about. All he did was take all of my stats- weight, BMI, height etc... and then sell me an Herbalife package and distribution ID. $75 dollars later, I find myself giving money to the place that I thought would be paying me as an employee.
They are "training" people and telling them that if they do what they say, you too will lose a bunch of weight and be able to sell Herbalife yourself after that and share your story, and become a "health coach"... You have to go through and complete their whole program and allow them to train you and sell you Herbalife before you can even become a health coach. The best part about it? You have to figure out how to get clients all by yourself. They expect you to wear these dumb pins on your shirt that advertise Herbalife, and they expect that that will lure people into asking you about it and then you would have to sign them up. It's no different than selling Avon or Mary Kay. They want you to have parties at your house and try to get people to buy Herbalife. It's more about the product than the actual health coaching. It's ridiculous. These people have no credential in nutrition, no DTR, no RD, no MD, and some don't even have their personal training license... Not only is that not safe for the people that come into their gym expecting a qualified person to train them, it is unethical to work in the nutrition/health industry without a credential or degree in Nutrition/Dietetics.
I feel bad posting this review because everyone that I met did seem very nice, but I just can't take it anymore watching all of these people go and get nutrition advice from people who have no legal credential or ethical right to be able to even call themselves "health coaches". You wanna be a health coach? Go earn a Bachelors and then get back to me.
