CURVES question/ related/ are they closing????
I have not been to Curves in awhile b/c I hurt my ankle. I called today to find out when I need to renew, and they told me they were closing the location I go to at the end of the month. I can go to 2 other ones and take my membership there. They told me it was b/c of the economy. She then left a message on my machine saying how convient that my renewal comes right before they close.... Should I renew somewhere else? Or with the way the economy is just not renew? It really is awful that so many businesses are going under and I feel I cannot trust anyone with my money. Help? Any advice? Has anyone else who goes to Curves had this happen? What would u do? TIA

My mother owned a Curves in Florida that I managed, and they've all been going downhill the last couple of years (she sold it before she started losing any money). A lot of them started closing even before the economy went south. If you do renew your membership, I would suggest you do the monthly draft on a credit card......I definitely wouldn't prepay because you probably won't get your money back if they close. HTH!

There are cheaper gyms around that have attracted Curves' clients. Curves is not that cheap. I just joined LR and they told me they set up a "circuit trainign" section so thtat the people from Curves who signed up with LR would be familiar with. So I guess Curves customers are switching to other gyms.
Cuts (the men version of Curves) closed so many location. I am not even sure they are still operating.
I would not be surprised Curves closed his locations in this economy.

Funny thing, I started to call around to local gyms and found one near me- that is accepting CURVES people and have circuit training plus in there gym! Thank you for both replying!

Re: CURVES question/ related/ are they closing????
I use to go to curves but after a while i stopped once i had to renew... I tried ladies express workout and it's like a curves "But" A lot more equipment... But to answer your question i wouldn't renew it knowing that location is closing, Because if you renewed some where else what would happen if they closed??? Good luck i hope it works out for you.

This is the place I am going to check out next week. What location do you go to? I called and they said they offer classes, etc. How do you like it so far? I am looking forward to having more to do then just a circuit - I like the idea they have other equipment and classses....

Planet Fitness is a good place for the curves type workout.
Besides the regular gym stuff, they have a section that is a 30 min express workout. I actually think their 30 min workout worked more than the one I use to do at curves. These machines are actual weight machines so you can control how much you do. They have the steps in between for cardio too. And a membership is $10. I was paying $40 last year for my curves membership.
