About the Company

Ever thought you would like to run a business that helps to improve the health and fitness of women? Then here is your chance………

Curves is so much more than just a fitness club. Curves is a service provider in the health industry. We provide women with what they need to feel great and build a healthier future.

Our mission is to change the world by empowering women with our 30-minute full body workout with one-on-one coaching. Our unique and proven workout specifically designed for women combines Strength Training, cardio and stretching to create lean muscles, raise the metabolism and burn more fat.

Curves has helped 10 million women get fit, gain strength and lose weight but also regain self-esteem and confidence. Exercising regularly at Curves helps prevent chronic disease and illness, our members enjoy happier and healthier life.

The Curves workout is a 30-minute circuit made of machines manufactured specifically for Curves and designed for safety, simplicity and effectiveness. It adjusts automatically for every woman and every fitness level. Curves equipment provides the benefits of cardiovascular exercise and strength training with the safe movement of hydraulic resistance providing an effective workout whilst protecting joints and increasing bone density.

Specifically designed for women, every low-impact machine works at least two muscle groups and as many as four at one time because you push and pull rather than lift and lower weights. With the Curves circuit the upper body, lower body and core muscles are being provided a full body workout in just 30 minutes. It’s designed to ensure the right form and the right resistance is achieved with maximum results for every workout. The inclusion of ‘next generation’ sensors allows instant feedback on the individual workout. With 13 pieces of equipment in the Curves circuit it’s the perfect combination for a total body workout that provides strength training, cardio and stretching.

• Our club here at St Austell is very community based. It has been open for 13 years and all members moved with us when we took over the club and changed premises 4 years ago. There is lots of support between members themselves and between staff and members too. We have a positive and proactive attitude and go out of our way to help people thrive in any way we can. Our members tend to be very loyal. Two members are both well over 2000 workouts and quite a few others over 1000. This gives the place a family feel and added to this is our loyal passionate and long serving staff!
•  
• We have ladies who have been with us before and after knee replacements and hip replacements. Their surgeons have credited their rapid recovery to their work here at Curves. Our oldest member for example at 86 has had an ankle replacement and is anticipating another one soon. She swears Curves has saved her mobility!!  Another lady has had both hips replaced while a member here and now has full range of motion again! We get lots of people come to us who have been recommended by doctors, nurses and physios and a lot of people who have said that their mental and emotional health have improved immeasurably since joining Curves too. 
•  
• The only reason we are looking to sell the club is so that we can concentrate on our Newquay club instead of splitting our valuable time between the two. We will be available for any help and assistance in the initial stages to anyone taking over the club as we know what a stressful time that could be. ‘”
