The Global Leader in Women's Fitness

The Curves Research


Curves has the most-studied and well-researched diet and exercise programs of any fitness company in the world, committing $7 million to date to study the efficacy of its programs with unrestricted grants to the Exercise and Sport Nutrition Laboratory, led by Richard Kreider, PhD, FACSM, FISSN.

The ESNL is dedicated to evaluating the interaction between exercise and nutrition on health, disease, and human performance. Its partnership with Curves provides cutting-edge programs that help women do the three most significant things they can do to prevent chronic disease: exercise regularly, eat right, and maintain a healthy weight.

Here you'll find all of the research studies and abstracts to date, in one convenient location: The Curves Research.
