It didn’t take long after the Covid-19 pandemic started to realize that there would have to be a new normal. Somewhere within this normal, there would need to be a way to mesh our old tried-and-true priorities with the new.
Staying healthy moved up on many people’s lists. Social interaction was suddenly risky, at least in person, and more and more effort was invested in being part of virtual communities rather than in person.
One source of this type of community already existed, however: Herbalife Nutrition Clubs.
What Is a Nutrition Club?
The first Herbalife Nutrition Club was formed in Mexico in 2004, long before the pandemic, but not before problem-solving became a priority. For many potential customers, a full container of Herbalife products was too much money, but the products were worth sampling.
By offering individual servings for Nutrition Club members, people with limited resources could sample products and be sure they enjoyed them before committing to a container they may or may not get through.
By getting samples of fewer servings, club members also would not need to choose between products they were curious to try because they could get a few servings of each one.
In the beginning, communities would come together with a common interest of better health. This might happen in a home or other neutral low-key areas. It often meant passing around products, sharing stories, and giving impromptu product reviews.
How the Pandemic Changed Nutrition Clubs
When the first lock-downs started to occur worldwide, it became necessary for businesses to start thinking outside their original boxes to survive. Herbalife distributors were no exception. Getting together in person with nutrition club members was no longer an option, so many took their clubs online by forming virtual communities.
When people met only in person, it was necessary for nutrition club members to live relatively close to one another to meet. But with a virtual community, this is not necessarily a prerequisite.
If the member can click a link in their email or text message, they can join the community. Instead of passing around ingredients, members could share health and fitness tips or recipes from anywhere, so long as they could meet at the agreed time.
As things began to open up a bit more, gathering with several members simultaneously was still hard, so drive-through nutrition shops began to grow in popularity.
These shops are run by distributors who offer deluxe Herbalife shakes or other recipes in individual servings as a convenient and healthier alternative to the typical coffee shop fare or even fast food.
Why Herbalife?
While the Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix is the most popular product, that is far from all that is available. Herbalife Nutrition Clubs also offer low-calorie iced coffee, baked goods, soups, snack bars, skincare products, vegan-friendly products including protein chips, teas, and more.
Nutritional products balance proteins and carbs to help those who seek to lose or otherwise manage their weight or have more energy and increase their overall healthy habits.
