Curves Hosts 12th Annual Food Drive to Benefit Families
Curves is encouraging women to show their philanthropic strength by participating in the 12th annual Curves Food Drive. And, even though donating food to families in need is its own reward, the clubs are offering compelling incentives for both existing and potential members who participate.

Members in the U.S. and Canada who donate a bag of groceries or make a minimum donation of $30 during the month of March will receive a reusable Curves grocery bag. In the U.S., non-members who do likewise between March 8 and 20 can join Curves for free.

Canadian non-members can join for free with a bag of groceries or a minimum $30 donation through March 13.

Curves Partners with Quebec's 5/30 Health & Wellness Challenge
Curves is partnering with ACTI-MENU, the Prevention Division of the Montreal Heart Institute and the Canadian Cancer Society, for the sixth annual 5/30 Health and Wellness Challenge. The initiative aims to encourage Quebeckers to commit to achieving or maintaining important health-related goals, including getting active for at least 30 minutes a day a minimum of five times a week.
 
Each Tuesday from March 2 through April 6, participating Curves locations will open their doors so that every woman who has registered for the Challenge can work out for free. The Curves program provides a complete strength training, cardio, and stretching workout in just 30 minutes, making it an ideal choice for women who want to achieve their goal of 30 minutes of daily activity.

Participants who want to make exercise a priority in their lives beyond the Challenge can also take advantage of a deep discount off the enrollment fee when they join Curves in March and April.

Curves Announces New Goal: Make One Million Women Stronger
Curves locations throughout the world are joining forces for a new initiative called Stronger Together, an international movement to make one million women stronger and healthier. The program will rely heavily on women sharing their success stories and providing confidence and inspiration to others.
           
The heart of the Stronger Together movement lives at an online public Web site, where women can find useful information about the movement, register to join the cause, sign their personal strength pledge and share their stories about how they were able to start a healthier lifestyle. They'll also find a myriad of useful tools, including a free Small Steps weekly email that gives subscribers simple fitness and nutrition tips that can make a big difference in their health.
