Contours Express is a 29 minute ladies fitness and weight loss franchise with over 450 locations worldwide. Contours Fitness Franchise has been in the news lately after it started a growth spurt thanks to more financing and some innovative management changes.
This women's gym franchise started in 1998. They claim to provide clean, comfortable environments where women can work out that are equipped with the latest weight-bearing equipment.
The Contours "pitch" is that they have "drafted" behind Curves and let them make the mistakes while the founders of Contours watched and learned. Since Contours Express competes directly with Curves for Women and there are many similarities with that franchise, however Contours is much less expensive overall.
Contours Express solicits the help of exercise physiologists in the design of their program and equipment. The equipment was designed from the best in co-ed equipment, but sized down for women. Members report that they get a much better workout with weights. Some studies would correlate with this opinion.
Contours Express is listed with the Small Business Association which provides entrepreneurs expedited SBA loan approval process. This can drastically improve the chances of buying the desired fitness center when the opportunity presents itself, as there is often multiple buyers waiting.
