The global leader in women's fitness. 

Recognizing that the need for donations is greater than ever at local food banks across the nation, Curves International is kicking off the 2012 Curves Food Drive on March 1 with a challenge to all Curves clubs to meet or exceed last year's donations. Participating clubs are asking their members to donate bags of non-perishable food or cash throughout the month of March to support area community food banks. In addition, they will waive the membership fee for new members who bring in a bag of non-perishable food or donate $30 to their local food bank from March 12 – 25.

Curves, the global leader in women's health and fitness, is now also leading the way in harnessing digital technology in new ways.

With the January 2012 launch of the innovative digital version of its award-winning magazine, DIANE, Curves has now also become a leader in women's magazines.

A virtually unlimited number of people can now access DIANE's practical, motivational, and inspirational content for free.   

Losing weight isn't easy. It takes real commitment to make the necessary changes to diet, exercise and lifestyle. And, for most people, it takes a plan. That's why Curves, the fitness franchise designed exclusively for women, has developed Curves Complete, a simple, easy-to-follow weight-loss plan that combines the three keys to taking off weight and keeping it off: diet, exercise and motivation.

 

Curves is the only place you can get all three, and participating Curves invite you to try it FREE for one week.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Curves continues to work to raise awareness in women about the life-saving importance of risk management, early detection and treatment. Throughout the month, Curves women’s fitness centers throughout the nation are waiving the joining fee for new members who show proof of a mammogram within the past year or make a $25 donation to breast cancer research.

The two top finalists in Curves’ Complete 90-Day Challenge revealed their new looks during the South Dakota Women’s Expo on Sept. 24 at the S.D. State Fairgrounds.

Carol Koepke (r) of Mitchell and Helene Wedel (l) of Huron lost a combined 61.75 pounds and 45.25 inches on the 90-day Curves Complete program.

Curves owners, staff and members worldwide celebrated the third annual Not for Sissies Day by donning camo prints and performing feats of strength and courage in their communities.

Curves International also announced that as of June 2011, 539 of its independently owned and operated clubs are enrolled in the IHRSA Joining Forces Network, an affiliation of health clubs offering free memberships to the immediate family members of actively deployed Reservists and National Guard members throughout the U.S.  

Curves International and Habitat for Humanity are proud to announce a partnership to build for a Temple, Texas family this fall. The build will provide a home for a single father with three children. A construction schedule has not been set but work is estimated to begin in September.

 

The project is a Women Build, meaning that while both women and men are welcome to participate, women are highly encouraged to do so. Women’s groups and individuals can contact Habitat to register to volunteer once the construction scheduled has been set.

Chances are, just about anyone you talk to will have an idea for a business with the hopes that one day it will help them make millions. Although business ideas may be easy to come by, turning those ideas into huge successes is an entirely different ballgame. However, many entrepreneurs with simple ideas and humble beginnings have been able to effectively turn those ideas into booming businesses.
