The power to amaze in 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week.

Two million women have discovered Gary Heavin's secret to permanent weight loss at more than six thousand Curves fitness and weight-loss centers around the country. In thirty minutes, three times a week—and without a restrictive diet—many have been able to take off the weight and keep it off for good.

The Curves Promise:

  • A unique three-part nutrition plan that produces results quickly and shows how to maintain weight loss in order to eat normally for 28 days, and only monitor food intake two days a month
  • A Metabolic Tune-Up helps deter yo-yo dieting and shows how to lose weight by eating more, not less
  • Simple self-tests determine calorie or carbohydrate sensitivity, helping women individualize their food plan
  • Shopping lists, meal plans, recipes, food and supplement guides, and charts to track progress and guide users through every phase of the nutrition and exercise plan
  • A complete Curves At-Home workout, combining strength training and aerobics and taking only thirty minutes a day-no more than three times a week

Gary Heavin opened his first fitness center for women in 1974, after pursuing a pre-med major in college. As a nutritional counselor and fitness instructor, he has worked individually with more than 100,000 women on weight loss and fitness. Heavin began the Curves franchise in Harlingen, Texas, in 1992, and today it is the largest fitness franchise in the world, and the third largest franchise of any kind in the United States. Currently, 250 Curves franchises open every month. View titles by Gary Heavin
