West Coast Wellness

West Coast Wellness is a California based company with a very noble mission of helping people achieve mental, physical, and financial wellness. Recently, they have expanded their opportunity beyond the West coast and have radio ads running in many states.

One thing that I don't like about West Coast Wellness is that they make an effort to conceal any information about their company online. The only way to find out what they actually do or sell is to call the regional office or speak with a local rep. Their website consists solely of contact info for various areas and no real background or intro information.

They will tell you the reason that they do this is because the company is highly selective of who they partner with, and want to work with the "right people." However, it comes of more as a marketing tactic to disguise the fact that the opportunity is an MLM business.

If they told people this on their website they would lose many potential customers who avoid MLM's. It's to their advantage to have people call reps that hype the opportunity and get people excited. Then when they show up to the general West Coast Wellness meeting there is a higher chance of them paying the sign up fees and joining.

It costs close to $170 to partner with West Coast Wellness but they encourage additional expenses to help your business succeed. For instance, if you want to benefit from their radio advertising it will cost you around one thousand dollars a month.

Also they suggest handing out free samples of the health care products to potential customers, this also comes out of your pocket. Obviously these costs are worth it if the convert into sales for you, but they also come with no guarantees.

Overall, West Coast Wellness is really no different from other MLMs. One thing that I wasn't able to find was a members profit disclosure statement, something that shows the income distribution for all their reps.

These days all major multi level marketing companies have them posted on their websites. It usually happens after, the first time, they get sued for making unreasonable income claims about their companies. The profit disclosures all pretty much look the same, revealing that about 5% of people making real money and the rest barely cover the cost of doing business. This is why many folks think that it's a West Coast Wellness Scam.

Selling overpriced crap for $10 so four people can take their $2 profit means the buyer is paying $10 for something that is worth at best $2. Not a great "opportunity" for the buyer if "wellness" is really a goal of the organization, which it obviously is not. MLM is usually synonymous with overpriced, lousy products "sold" to make the ponzi scheme legal. If these products were so great, the creators would be selling them conventionally!

I find always find it interesting what methods those who hide dirty little secrets, such as those at West Coast Wellness do. Instead of truthfully revealing themselves as they are or answering questions in a straightforward way, they change the subject or get heated up on tangents to deflect such reviews or questions. When you ask what West Coast Wellness's product is, you'll all quickly get the runaround treatment like the below person tries to do. Such nonsense about corporate structure or garbage about making money, work ethics and the like. Again, never straight answers. Stay away! Another non-WCW'er rating this a 1- Dreadful here.

I always find it interesting when people use the word "Pyramid Scheme". Why interesting? Well most people work for a company who has a CEO at the top, the Vice President below him/her and so on down the pyramid till we get to you who is at or near the bottom. Now I truly feel sorry for people in this position because they have a false sense of security in that they can't be fired, and will always have a paycheck. Not to mention no matter how hard you work you probably still make the same amount. Now with MLM yes you have someone above you, so what. Can you have people below you? Yes. Can you work HARD and make as much money as you want? Yes. Can the person above you fire you? No. So think about it...your basically the CEO of your own little company. To be a company you need products and that's what you should be focusing on.

I am an attorney representing 3 clients who were all duped by this farce of a company, West Coast Wellness. To all potential investors, please stay away from this scam with a 100-foot pole. Two of my clients tried to cancel their membership and found that the company continued to deduct thousands from their bank account. The other client was a member for 2 years and there was never any profit made, despite being told numerous times that the business was just getting ready to take off. Save your money and if you really want to make more money, invest in your education or do something you enjoy. Don't get involved in anything that sounds too good to be true.

You all reading this can probably guess that the five-star comments from June 17th to July 1st are NO QUESTION from persons directly involved with West Coast Wellness. No wonder. Besides flooding widely-read comments-sites such as this with their testimonials, West Coast Wellness is also doing the Web 2.0 route to attract much more big-$$$ "partners" into their MLM. This MLM has opened a center near me in Walnut Creek, East Bay CA. One aspect of their company that really gets to me and others I talk to is that you cannot get any specific information on the products they are trying to sell without having to go through a WCW rep or go through all their testimonials & hype (at seminar, at center, at other places). Dreadfully frustrating!

I am proud and honored to say that I am affiliated and working with West Coast Wellness. What I love about West Coast Wellness is how much up to date they are on everything. I mean, check this out! West Coast Wellness is on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Bebo, Digg, and many others Web 2.0 widgets. And they are not selling anything on there! NOTHING! They are actually sharing various health tips, interesting articles, cutting edge ideas to stay fit and happy, relaxation techniques etc. West Coast Wellness is SO MUCH MORE than just a business (or MLM company for that matter, as many try to blackmail it). They claim on their web pages, that West Coast Wellness is a community of analytical, passionate and health-oriented professionals who share burning desire to lead fun and exciting lives. And even if they don’t have a global community yet, I am positive that West Coast Wellness is surely on the right track to create one!

Their products are awesome! My wife tried their BIO-LEAN II, when she was trying to get back in shape after we had our second baby. She lost 3 sizes in 10 weeks. She was so happy! She's been trying different products over years. But this one she said was the most effective. And she liked the customer service. West Coast Wellness associate followed up several times in the last 3 months to see whether she likes the product.

About 3 years ago I didn't know what to do with my life. I had a full-time corporate job that I was tired of, fairly stable, but honestly boring life and teenage kids who never had time to spend with their family. I was miserable! At that point in my life I heard about West Coast Wellness. Since I had some free time with my flexible schedule at work, I decided to call them and go through their training. Boy, did that CHANGE MY LIFE! West Coast Wellness gave me a unique opportunity that I never had before: to earn residual side income that I could use to increase the quality of my life. I started as part-time entrepreneur, while working full-time. Yes, it was a lot of work!!! But West Coast Wellness products are really good, the staff is very helpful, and training was definitely effective. That combination helped my business to take off. I quit my full-time corporate job long time ago. I am fully concentrated on West Coast Wellness now. In fact, I work a lot less than I used to, I make a lot more money, I have more free time for vacations with my lovely wife. I even managed to save up enough money to send my son to college this year. I know that there are a lot of West Coast Wellness Scam messages out there on the web. Good and bad publicity prove only one thing: that WEST COAST WELLNESS is a real company, and they deliver what they promise! Some people just don’t like that.

West Coast Wellness is nothing but a Pyramid Scheme operating on the fringe of the law. I attended one of there sell meetings and almost brought into what they were selling. They even had people who said they were making more then what they were on their regular job. With some effort on my part I discovered that this individual were paid employees of WCW and those individuals you here on the radio adds are also paid employees. I would like to say if you want to just give away your hard earn income, you won't find a easier way to do it than buy into the WCW sell pitch.
Jim CA	2:00pm on Friday, May 15th, 2009
What a sad enterprise. Whenever I hear the ads on the radio I am compelled to switch to another station to avoid hearing the lame sales pitch.
Tim Antioch	9:44am on Thursday, March 5th, 2009
Nick, you sound just like I did about 20 years ago when I was defending my business opportunity in Amway. There are much better vehicles to make money than MLM, and you don't have to alienate your friends and family.
Casey San Mateo	11:00am on Monday, February 16th, 2009
Those who fall for their ads don't exercise critical thinking skills. They give you no info on the radio and dangle the money like a carrot for brainless rabbits.
Arturo San Jose	9:26pm on Monday, February 2nd, 2009
Very critical reviews of this West Coast Wellness distributorship at Yelp website for the California ciudades, Santos Diego and Jose. Yes, same for Foster City West Coast Wellness.

Folks, you just HAVE to obtain upfront the actual tangible product or service that's being offered and/or multi-level marketed from West Coast Wellness or from any other company for that matter! If you don't get this upfront, then you'll almost certainly be another sucker among the 90%+ of those who "pay to play" and just end up losing out. Caveat emptor; let you investors/buyers beware! Just as for other Multi-Level Marketing / Pyramid Schemes, West Coast Wellness (WCW) resorts to several time-tested recruitment and marketing schemes: 1) personal one-on-one testimonials from those who claim to be successfully involved with the company, 2) frequent appeals to just place a simple phone call, toll-free for further information or else online registration (mailing list, distributor's email address) for an upcoming "business"/"investment" meeting in your area, 3) the "We Are Highly Selective" MLM marketing gambit already described in paragraph 3 above, 4) the typical accusing challenge "You get what YOU put into it!", clearly implying that those who avoid WCW or who wish to reveal its scam artistry are those who are just too darn LAZY to put "anything" (paying more $$$ ???) into "it". Folk's, don't succumb to the misinformation deliberately presented by higher level WCW "partners"! As I already wrote above, you owe it to yourselves to get upfront and clear beforehand, the actual product or service WCW is offering and/or MLMarketing!

If you are going to have your own business do you have any overhead? Or do you just do nothing, invest nothing and make money? You can't spend nothing and do nothing to make money period. This is a business! You get what YOU put into it.
Anonymous Location unknown	10:44pm on Monday, October 27th, 2008
How can you say it is a scam when people are making money?? This is like any business, It is all what you put into it!
Nick Newport Beach	7:48pm on Saturday, September 27th, 2008
Well considering that 3% of the population holds 90% of the wealth, MLM is just another way for the winners to win and the losers to stay losers. In this economy you should really ask yourself is my current job and pay a "guarantee?" People who ask for guarantees are the ones who have no self confidence and will always be looking to someone else to take care of them or tell them what to do.
