The Body Bar Group Fitness Studio

12/01/2021

This is a bittersweet post for me to make but one I’ve anticipated making for some time now.

After 12 successful years in Smyrna, The Body Bar Group Fitness Studio is closing this month.❤️

I have to say how thankful and grateful I am for the community that was created here. It is truly like no other gym I’ve ever been to. Thousands of women (and some brave men😉) have walked through these doors and I am so blessed to have met each and every one of you. Life-long friendships were made here and the memories and belly-laughs are endless.

Not being a “local business owner” is going to be a huge adjustment for me and some tears have definitely been shed. My kids were brought up coming here. I taught classes and bootcamp while I was pregnant with both of them.

They don’t know what life is without Mommy owning “the studio” and, to be honest, I’m not sure I do either.

Many have used the term “end of an era” and I have to agree. I will miss the social aspect of this place more than anything…but at the same time, I am ready to move on.💕

I am sending a HUGE thank-you to the following amazing instructors who, without them, this place couldn’t have survived. Heather Ambrosi , Cleo Venegas , Christie Shaw , Miriam Frost , Cherri Frost , Bella Moda , Kristin Dabson , Kimberly Beaudin .
I love and respect you all and thank you with my whole heart for the love and commitment you poured into this space.

So, what’s next?? I will continue Personal Training here in Smyrna (in-person) as well as continue to build my online fitness & nutrition programming.

Kim is also staying local and opening a wellness space in Smyrna focusing on bone strength & osteoporosis.

I’m excited for this next chapter and (in true entrepreneurial spirit) I am always open to opportunities that come my way.😌

For those who read this far, I love you and thank you for an unforgettable 12 years. And now I’m crying…😭😆

If you think you’re so far from your goal that it stops you from starting, think again! In just 4 short weeks, 2 of our newest boot campers took 3 and 4 minutes off of their timed mile run!! 😯🤩Not to mention DOUBLING their minute of push-ups and/or going from knee pushups to toes. Both their strength and endurance has drastically increased in just 4 weeks!!

Y’all, these results are why I started bootcamp almost 12 years ago. It is SO exciting to help these women get closer and closer to their goals.

If you’re on the fence, all you have to do is show up and we’ll lead you in the right direction! 💙
Congratulations and !!👏👏

I’ve been told many times that our Outdoor Bootcamps are the “best kept secret” in Smyrna and I have to agree.🥰

If you’re looking for some amazing humans to exercise and/or “do life” with, our 4 week Bootcamps begin this week! 5:45AM or PM options. Almost 12 years of running the streets of and grateful for it all! Our happy hours are pretty fun too.🍻😜
