Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make you my coach?
If you haven't created a Team Beachbody account yet, sign-up for a FREE Team Beachbody account. It's FREE and once you do, I will immediately be assigned as your coach!
Be sure to send me an email or message me in the Team Beachbody forums, so I can add you to the team. Shortly thereafter, I will be sending you a 'welcome packet' document that also asks a few questions (e.g., you current weight, fitness level, goals, diet, etc, etc.). Simply send me an email with all the requested information and we can get started on your transformation.
I would like to be coached by you, but was already assigned a coach. Can I change coaches?
If you have already created a Team Beachbody account, you were automatically assigned a coach during the sign-up process. However, it is very each to make a switch from your current coach to me. Here's how:
- Simply send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and tell them you would like to change your coach to John Terpening (Coach ID# 75173). My Team Beachbody username is CoachTerp.
- Carbon Copy (CC) me on that email and I'll add you to the team and ensure Coach Relations makes the change. Shortly thereafter, you'll receive a welcome packet from me with all the information you'll need to get started.
What's the difference between P90X and P90X2?
Consider the P90X2® workout the next wave in applied science for body transformation.
Like P90X®, the P90X2 workout is a complete 90-day program but with all-new, cutting-edge workouts grounded in the most modern thinking in sports science. It takes the principles and foundation of the P90X concept and cranks up the intensity with exercises that demand every ounce of your balance, agility, core strength, and athleticism. And of course, P90X2 will reward you with eye-popping results.
Do you use Shakeology yourself?
I am interested in Shakeology, but would like the try it first; can I have a sample?
Simply visit our Shakeology Samples page for more information.
What equipment do I need for P90X?
Just a set of dumbbells or lightweight resistance bands, and a chin-up bar that fits in any doorway. You may also want to have optional equipment, such as push-up stands, a yoga mat, and a heart-rate monitor.
