Cleanses are nothing but income taxes for idiots.

This isagenix crap is a pyramid type business. When I was working in supplement sales this guy came in the store and as usual we started talking about, supps, training and all that shit. He then tells me there is a gathering of people in the personal training industry and I should come by... I was thinking this could be cool because it was something I was kinda looking to get into at the time. I`m actually a little embarased to say the following but it`s kinda a good story...

I show up at the hotel where it was being held and right away felt out of place. I was thinking to myself "where the hell are the trainers?" Nobody looked liked they trained. So I go in the hall that was reserved for the "gathering" and out comes this snake oil type salesman. Right then I was like "what the **** am I doing here?"

He starts talking about how he`s feeling so energetic because he`s in the phase of his "super cleanse", blah, blah, blah. He then says " I`m not feeling enough energy in this room, everybody get up and start some stationnary jogging" So everyone but me is doing this stationnary faggot flash dance and being rather introverted to shit like that, I was leaving. I then proceed to free myself from this room full of retards and on the way out they ask me what was wrong. Basically told them my spidy senses were telling me "this isn`t for me..."

With all due respect Ky, I don`t know your involvement in this company and if it`s what I think it is dude, don`t expect any recruitment here. Most guys know better to buy shit like that and actually am embarrased for you that you posted such a rediculous link here.

The worst thing is I go to a friends house a few months later and saw his girlfriend had bought a bunch of their crap. I took a look at the labels and was disgusted and how much they had paid for it. The mrp was just a low carb run of the mill whey concentrate powder with some vitamins and minerals, being nothing spectacular and the snack waffers had like 1 gram of protein per waffer. I think there was a fat burner and it was just some herbal shit and they paid over $200 for this package.

Now I can`t say with complete certainty it was the isagenix company who was there that day, but the name rings a bell. But I thought I would tell you guys about the time I got suckered into this hotel leaving a slightly less naive person that day.

reminds me when i was working out at premier gym (about 10yrs ago) and approached by one of the p/t's to meet with other succesfully minded people..meet up at some guy's house a few days later with about 10-15 other sheep listening to a fuk'n jackass brag about the acura nsx he just bought. jus like you my gut was saying run.. after agreeing to buy some "motivational" tapes i soon realized , "Goddamm AMWAY!!"
i called my "sensei" a few days later and told him to F off and leave me alone.
Now i sometimes get approached by these AMWAY drones at hardware stores/supermarkets and quickly interrupt their spiel and tell 'em to screw off before i launch an AMWAY sized fist through their sternum!
