Curves International

In 1992, founders Gary & Diane Heavin opened their first Curves in Harlingen, TX. This new concept of 30-minute fitness, strength training, weight loss guidance, in an environment designed for women was immediately successful. They began to develop plans for franchising the concept, with the first Curves franchise opening in 1995.

Curves is specifically designed for and focused on women. The program was originally designed around circuit training, which utilizes hydraulic resistance equipment to achieve results. The strength training regimen is combined with cardiovascular training for a full body workout. 

Curves Nutrition Program was launched to offer women a fully integrated personalized weight loss and management solution that includes the Curves fitness program, a customizable meal plan and one-on-one coaching and support. Backed by extensive research Curves Nutrition Program has been shown to reduce fat, increase lean muscle, boost metabolism and help women achieve weight loss success.
