Curves Will Give Away 30-Day Memberships During National Women’s Health Week, May 13-19

Curves of North Andover will give a free 30-day membership to any non-member who visits the club during regular operating hours throughout National Women’s Health Week, May 13-19.

This annual awareness week, coordinated by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office on Women’s Health, begins each year on Mother’s Day and brings together communities, businesses, government, health organizations, and other groups in an effort to promote women’s health. Curves International has partnered with the OWH to help promote National Women’s Health Week and to provide health and wellness programs and materials to women throughout the country.

In further support of this partnership, Curves announces the inaugural National Curves Day celebration, which will occur annually on the Thursday of National Women’s Health Week. Curves International aims to give away one million free 30-day memberships at participating Curves gyms throughout the United States and Canada during the week-long event. Any non-member who visits a participating Curves club during National Women’s Health Week will be eligible for this free membership offer.

Curves of North Andover will hold a week-long open house event during National Women’s Health Week to encourage interested women to check out the club, pick up free health information from Curves and the OWH, ask questions, get a free fitness assessment and take advantage of the "one million free 30-day memberships" offer.

"Everyone at Curves of North Andover is excited about our new partnership with this influential government organization," said Laura McKellar, North Andover Curves franchise owner. "This relationship confirms the value that the Curves program offers to women by promoting regular exercise, nutrition guidelines and community fitness events. We look forward to working with the OWH to offer our members and our community even more resources for living a healthy, active lifestyle."

The theme for the 13th annual National Women’s Health Week is "It’s Your Time." National Women’s Health Week empowers women to make their health a top priority.
