Is Curves Fitness a good business?

Answer by  squintz (92)

A typical Curves franchise will take about $50,000 of initial investment to get started. After the initial investment, a Curves with around 300 members (at $30 a month) will end up grossing around $110,000 a year. After operating expenses you wont end up with much in your pocket. I would recommend looking elsewhere.

You certainly will have to do market research within your area to determine the viability of opening a Curves gym. Anecdotally, Curves has become a lot more popular and the ones that I've seen are always bustling! On the other hand, it seems like, in this bad economy, many people are giving up their gym memberships.
