 Body First will have one, maybe two massage therapists. They will give 10-minute massages for $10.  We will not be collecting any money ahead of time for this but if you want a massage let us know so we have a pretty good idea how many people they need to prepare for.  You will pay the massage therapist when you get your massage.
