Thank goodness I found this thread....
I am not a Curves memeber, because there is not one in my area! I am however, thinking of purchasing and opening one here. We already have 2 pro-fitness and 1 gold's gym within a 50 mile radius....but I really REALLY like the idea of a place just for people.....like me! I dont want to be gauggled over...dont want to be judged, want to be with other women who feel the same way. I dont want to life 500LBS a day, dont want to run 85 miles...I want a quick workout for me.
I can tell you this....Each Curves is individually owned and operated, and so the hours will definitely vary per 'shop'. I know that if my husband and I do indeed open one...it will be during the times that people like to work out! i.e.,
We would be open from 5AM - 9or10PM, for the first few months to see when peak times were...then scale back from there, if need be.
I know that Curves promotes LC, and stresses measurement, not scales. thank goodnes. I would want to have other equipment , i.e., treadmills...if the franchise will allow....it may be a stipulation that you do not....i'll find out more about that when I get my information from the company...I can keep anyone posted that would like to know
My sister has been at a Curve by her for a month, and has lost 4.5 inches...she feels great, loves the quick workout, and quick results....she is like me, and would never set foot in a gym.
Also keep in mind that the 'membership fee' the 75.00, is a lifetime deal...and comes with travel passes, i believe......there are curves all over the place! so if you are on travel, and you can find one....you can go!!
