What Is a Nutrition Club? An Herbalife Nutrition Club is a supportive community setting for people to focus on good nutrition through the use of Herbalife® products. As an Herbalife Member you may consider operating a Nutrition Club as a method of business. How you choose to operate your Nutrition Club is up to you, as long as you follow the Herbalife Rules of Conduct and Member Policies. You can infuse your own style and personality into your Nutrition Club.
What Is a Nutrition Club? Benefits of operating a Nutrition Club:
- Convenience You can operate a Nutrition Club from a non-residential location or a Residential location. (Review the Nutrition Club Rules for examples of acceptable locations.)
- Community Experience Your Nutrition Club Attendees and guests can familiarize themselves with Herbalife® products in a social atmosphere, allowing you to create and foster the personal relationship that is the essence of direct selling.
- A Relaxed Setting A Nutrition Club is an informal environment where members can talk about and enjoy Herbalife® products (such as Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix, Herbal Tea Concentrate and Herbal Aloe beverage mixes) and learn about the income opportunity.
- Retailing Opportunity Nutrition Club Attendees may purchase products for personal consumption at home.
- Flexibility A Nutrition Club can be combined with other Herbalife business methods you are using.
Nutrition Clubs are not retail stores, agencies or restaurants. A Nutrition Club may have a sign identifying itself, but it must meet the standards as described in the Nutrition Club Rules.
