Has anyone had trouble collecting their wellness monies from Corp. But what else is new!!!! This year, things have really gone down hill. January, which is supposed to be our busiest time, was a flop. I have less than a year left at my one location and two years on the other. I want to be done so bad.
We had to pay for our bar stand and that money is now wasted. I have spoken to many Curves owners and they are all stressed, anxious and struggling. I happen to be one of them. I work ten to eleven hr days for a minimal return. I know a young gal who starts at 6am and goes right till closing at night. Her return is minimal. Curves is going to blame every scenario but themselves. Curves officially is down to less than franchises here in the U. Anyone want to bet that no one will remember them five years from now??
Dying brand…and now the have made this last ditch attempt with these new BDMs. I have been a franchise owner for fifteen years at one time I owned 3 clubs and I am now down to one. Yes Curves has in general taken everything I own, my house my pension and now I live in a two bedroom trailer with my Mom who gave me everything she had and now she is 85 years old and we have to live off her pension. I look at it this way we still have a roof over our heads for now and I can still hold on to my two old horses and I really enjoy coming to work with my loyal ladies who most have been with me for 14 years.
I put in a lot of hours to help stay afloat. My biggest problem now is to decide if I should try to renew my franchise or go independent. Curves could of done better by us with the advertising which I may have seen I ad. It is for them that I continue they have given be a lot over the years. I know that what I have to say is not of any importance, but here goes.
Women that are over weight, and need the support of a place they can go too, where every one else shares your same feelings about yourself is important. Diets, meals, clubs, what ever, are advertised to help loose weight.
But none of it is affordable for the real people who suffer from it. I joined a Curves in , it was the greatest place, I went two to four times a week. I had and still have health issues.
During that time, I was loosing weight, eating better, my health was improving, I was reaching goals I set for myself. I loved it. It has broke my heart, to see that something that could help save a persons life literally, is like everything else in this world, got the idea that is more about the money, than the help it is doing. And then we wonder why that the United States is in such a way with so many people over weight.
There is no real concern in the United States to help the real people of the United States. I am nobody, I have no money, I am a old widow, there is nothing I can do. The Homeless, The Vets, it would not matter to me what color, race, or whatever. The rich or The poor, should never be part of the equation of a Human life.
I miss Curves, and I am ashamed to think that something so good, could be reduced to such an ugly end as this. I wish there were more Curves. I was a member in a different state for several years. When I moved, the one I started going to, closed down. What more can be said? I loved Curves, I was a member for several years, then I bought two Curves franchises in Not a great time!
Additionally, the previous owner lied and gave me member printouts that included members that had cancelled and had not been purged from the system. When I ran the numbers, all seemed well. Guess what? It was not. At all. I ended up closing one location and merging the two clubs. That continued on until it was time to renew my franchise.
I finally got permission from corporate to extend for one year so that the lease on my location ended the same time as my franchise. During this time, my husband became terminally ill and all my time that was not at the club was spent with him. He died. I still had the club. I closed in , retired and left the Curves world.
I loved the members and I really loved Curves, but I was screwed from day one. I could never knock down that brick wall that I was up against. I was self-employed for most of my life, and made a reasonable living from everything I did — except Curves!! I was a single club owner in North Carolina. I purchased my club because I believed CI was owner by a Christian couple with a desire to achieve success through hard work, a safe, nurturing club atmosphere and strong Christian beliefs.
This is why our members joined. When Curves new owners decided to flip and focus on the other side of the coin there was nothing left for us. When I sent CI a heartfelt letter explaining how their mission statement no longer supported the one in place when I purchased my club and I would not support theirs; they simply removed me for all websites like we did not exist.
So I closed the club, by the books. This was back in If there is still a lawsuit wagon I sure would like to jump on it! I absolutely loved it. In that short time I lost a pant size. I am back home again and would dearly love to see Curves come back to our small town.
I feel self conscious where men go. Your email address will not be published.
