Club industry has a article on Jillian Michael's. She is putting her own 30 min group exercise program into fitness facilities all around the country.. I don't think the Jillian workout's are really bringing in enough new memberships to change the future of our club, but at least they were something no other gym had!! Curves Corp. has totally dropped the ball on Curves and I think they have no real interest in the future of the Curves Franchisee.. They are probably making more money going after the franchisees that close down before their contracts are up.. It seems that they are waiting for us to all just close down!!!
It seems as though that's exactly what they are doing..!!
I closed my Curves in 2006. After 4years. The building I was renting was sold. And Curves was financially a big loss for me.I couldn't afford to move to another location for a year. So I closed. Now in 2015 I am being served papers from CI. They want 13000.00 from me. Any advice? It is like a nightmare that doesn't go away.

I see Gary Heavin is now making crazy conspiracy theory movies with our life savings. Check out the trailer for "Amerigeddon."
