Why the Fitness Industry?

“Fitness market and wellness are not only fashionable today, but finally many are realising the importance of physical activity and sport.”

Despite continued economic, political and social challenges, most European markets exhibited growth in 2019, driven further by club openings and ongoing innovation.

Furthermore, policy makers such as governments and health insurers at the EU level and in various countries see the importance of encouraging people to become more active. The fitness sector can play an important role in the development towards a healthier society in the long term.

Why Curves is The Right Franchise?

Curves is a worldwide leader in women’s fitness. We’ve helped millions of women get fit, gain strength and stay healthy with a 30 minute programme.

I truly feel part of a big family, where coaches, members, owners and members of the Curves Europe team support each other.”

“On 1st December 2017, I became the new owner [of Curves Magherafelt]. It was a huge change. I just love working directly with people. Now I’m in an environment where I’m interacting with the ladies all the time, but more importantly I know I‘m helping ladies improve their health, both now and long term, which is something I really get a lot of satisfaction from. I know as a member of Curves, and now as an owner that – It Works!”

Curves is a great adventure because it is above all a community and I am delighted to be able to help women improve their life, their health, and strengthen their self-confidence, all thanks to our unique, and very effective training programme. I am also proud to be part of the Curves franchise because it is constantly evolving. More than a job – a passion!”
