Curves

Curves fitness franchise was opened in 1992 by Gary Heavin and his wife, Diane. This new concept of 30-minute fitness, strength training, weight loss guidance and a comfortable environment designed for women, was immediately successful. Gary recognized a need and an opportunity to help prevent deteriorating health and potential illness by caring for people through proper fitness. Diane had a passion for exercise and the experience of an advertising executive. They realized that women across the world would benefit from the Curves program. Together they began to franchise this wonderful concept and opened the first franchise in 1995. Today, there are nearly 10,000 gym franchises in 60 countries on 6 continents.

Curves provides a complete cardio and strength training workout in just 30 minutes. With a system that can burn up to 500 calories and work every major muscle group, you get an efficient and effective workout every visit. It is no wonder over 4 million women have chosen Curves to meet their health goals. Curves works every major muscle group with a complete 30-minute workout that combines strength training and sustained cardiovascular activity through safe and effective hydraulic resistance. Curves also has a revolutionary diet program that is based in science and has been proven in numerous and ongoing university research studies to raise metabolism and end the need for perpetual dieting. With its scientifically proven exercise and diet programs, Curves is the only “one-stop shop” where women can lose weight, gain muscle strength and aerobic capacity, and raise metabolism for good.

Curves provides an exceptional fitness franchise opportunity, as well. We assume that franchisees have no experience or knowledge in the operation of a fitness and weight loss facility. Consequently, we will provide you with materials, text books and systems manuals at Club Camp, our comprehensive classroom training program. You will leave confident with the tools to safely and effectively operate your Curves franchise. At no cost to you, we will send one of our expert mentors to assist you with your grand opening and work with you for the first four days of your franchise operation. The mentor will show you how to handle phone calls, sell memberships, teach the Curves Workout System and provide weight loss guidance. By the end of the week, your Curves franchise will be up and running. Newspaper ads, internal and external promotions to generate business, operational tools, and ideas to better service your members are available on a secured Web site designed and maintained especially for Curves franchisees. There are also regional training meetings and an annual convention for all franchisees. With Curves' premier franchise services, you will be in business for yourself, not by yourself.
