Another touching email...I have not been able to come as much as I'd like. I was a member in 2005 2006 and have come sporadically since. My work schedule from 12-8 doesn't permit me to make it like I want to. I am extremely distraught that Bodytalk is closing :-( Without Bodytalk I can sincerely say that I would not be the woman that I have grown into today. When I first came to Bodytalk I was coming out of a marriage where I was beat down mentally, physically, as well as emotionally. Taylor and the other teachers, as well as Christine uplifted me and taught me that I am special and of great worth. The dances helped to boost my esteem as well as get me in shape... and past the dances.. I felt like it was a family at Bodytalk. I could talk to them about anything and they NEVER judged me. Just supported and gave the best advice they could from their life experience. Now, in 2010... I have my 1st child and I will teach him the lessons that I learned there. There are only good memories that I have of going to Laurel. I definitely would like to Thank each and every teacher that has come through there. Bodytalk is so much more than just learning a few moves and I am forever grateful to you all. I wish blessings and prosperity to you all and your families. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Forever grateful

Words can not express the gratitude I feel after reading the many emails that have been sent in just a few minutes. BodyTalk will forever live on... Love all you guys for so much support and understanding. One funny email I got was that she learned so much, she got pregnant twice. Gotta love it....

A Letter From the Owner

Hello Beauties,


It is with heavy heart that I announce the closing of the Bodytalk Laurel location. The last day for this location will be December 31, 2010. It hurts to know how disappointed our faithful clients will be, however we have exhausted every option imaginable to remain a part of the PG County Community. We will be forever grateful to all those who have supported us these past 5 years, unfortunately our revenues will not allow this location to remain open. 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 were great years for Body Talk, we had consistent memberships, parties and special events but 2009 began our rocky road. Committed to our clients, we hung in there and 24 months later not much has changed and we are simply losing more and more revenue every day. We were blessed with the opportunity to serve such great clients and for that, we thank you for your support. Body Talk Laurel is a part of our GREAT legacy, it allowed us to touch so many people.

Although this location will be closing, we will continue to offer Parties on the Go, Workshops, and Special Events. Our superior customer service and our gracious and top-notch instructors will continue.

BodyTalk has always had our Mobile Division and will continue to operate. Look out BodyTalk Mobile is on the move!!!

For any members whose memberships expire after December 31, 2010, you will receive a full or partial refund with 120 days.

For any studio parties already scheduled, your parties will go on as planned. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact us by phone or email.

As I write this letter, it is very hard for me to understand that the Laurel location will no longer exist. It is a location that will always be dear to my heart. It was the location where I learned a great deal about business and was challenged to the utmost. It has been the preparation for my future. Body Talk has BIG plans; we will be producing a Fitness DVD and online classes, planning Out-of-state workshops, designing a full line of fitness apparel, etc. Please remain a part of our email list so that you can continue to take part in all that Body Talk has to offer.

Thanks again for your continued support.

Love You All,

Arnel Richardson, Owner
