Curves Franchise operates the largest and fastest growing fitness franchise. There are currently more than 7,000 Curves for Women fitness franchisees in the US. Each of these offers a 30 minute circuit training exercise program for women.
There are 10,038 Curves Franchises in the world, about 7,800 in the United States, and while it took McDonald's 25 years and Subway 26 years to hit 6,000 franchises. Curves did it in seven. There are million women working out at these centers in all 50 states and in 46 countries. Curves reports their closure rate at 1 percent to 3 percent, but keep in mind that most clubs are re-sold.
Curves for women sells franchises directly from the corporation if there is a territory available, or through a reseller network. Fitness franchises such as Curves Fitness Franchise operate with protected territories. The availability of Curves Franchise Locations will vary widely by geographic location. In the US, Curves Franchise has a thriving reseller community, with high prices for clubs with existing membership.
The availability of these two opportunities varies considerably by country. For example, there are some areas of the U.S. and Canada where new Curves franchise territories are not available, but there are opportunities to purchase an existing Curves Franchise
Curves for Women Franchises claim to offer dietary and nutrition information to their members. It's unclear if members use that service in most cases. The turnover rate of Curves members is not known.
