Another Curves for Women club Bites the Dust

Another one bites the dust- another Curves for Women club has closed unexpectedly leaving members high and dry (see http://adirondackdailyenterprise.com/page/content.detail/id/523035/Two-local-businesses-shut-down.html?nav=5017)

Many former Curves owners say this is because of the high franchise fees, over-selling of territories and lack of support from the Curves corporate office (see http://www.unhappyfranchisee.com/curves-robert-lays-story/). No doubt all of these factors are true, but I think it is much more than this- there is a built-in obsolescence of their program with their non-adjustable equipment. Any fitness professional will tell you that your body will adapt to doing the same workout day in and day out and you will eventually hit a plateau without the ability to increase the resistance.

So, those who are thinking of purchasing a Curves franchise, please do yourself a favor and do your homework. Talk to existing club owners to find out if they are happy with the support they are getting. Find out about our superior adjustable PACE equipment that is less expensive than Curves and our turn-key marketing/training program without any franchise fees.
