Currently the chain operates over 10,000 locations worldwide, with more than 7,800 having roots in the United States.

The health clubs offer a multitude of programs most revolving around the concept of circuit training.

Hours and Locations

Most Curve locations have different schedules on when they are going to be open throughout the week. A lot of this is predicated on what classes are being taught on which days. In most gyms there will be classes beginning as early as 6:30am, on other days the earliest class might not be until 7:30 am. With the varying schedules it is always best to research the closest location to you before leaving to go to a Curves. It’s also a good idea to keep in mind operating hours may change during holidays like New Year's day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Good Friday and Black Friday.  Hours.com is often used by people who are trying to find out if “there is a Curves near me, that’s open today”.
