Has Curves Become "The Trailer Park of Gyms?"

Well-known and respected webmaster, Unhappy Franchisee, has just posted a new site: http://www.unhappyfranchisee.com/has-curves-become-the-%E2%80%9Ctrailer-park-of-gyms%E2%80%9D/

I love this! After hearing horror stories from Curves for Women franchise owners for over 10 years, it's about time the public knows the truth about the corporate office. I am however, disappointed to see that nothing was mentioned of their inferior, non-adjustable equipment. Those of us in the fitness industry knew the bottom would eventually fall out of their membership base as members would hit a plateau, get bored and drop out. It was only a matter of time. It now appears that their time is up as the greed from the corporate office, lack of franchisee support, over-saturation of the markets and inferior equipment have come together in a perfect storm.
