Curves and TNT are joining forces for a new, summer-long promotion that will introduce the strong characters on TNT while also encouraging women to hit the gym. Through the Strong Woman Challenge, women will be empowered to identify their inner strengths, join one of four teams inspired by TNT’s lineup of female characters and commit to work out three times a week for six weeks at Curves.
As part of the promotion, Curves is opening its doors to non-members by offering free workouts on “Try Us Tuesdays,” beginning June 1. In addition, special sneak-preview screenings of TNT’s new drama Rizzoli & Isles will be held in Curves locations around the country to kick off the promotion.
