Curves and Jenny Craig Come Together to Create a Complete Fitness and Weight Loss Solution
Two Powerhouse Brands Now Available as One Dual-Branded Franchise
CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In late 2014, Curves and Jenny Craig (www.cjc.com) started a pilot program to test the viability of dual-branded centers. Now, with approximately 50 locations in select markets helping customers lose weight and get fit, Curves and Jenny Craig will offer investors this franchise opportunity nationwide. The two brands, which will also continue to be offered separately, have natural synergies that create a highly effective wellness offering.
The dual-branded centers feature a dedicated Jenny Craig consultant to guide members through their weight loss journey step-by-step with personalized menu planning, strategies for various eating situations and support, along with a Curves coach who leads a 30-minute full-body workout with strength training, cardio and stretching for every fitness level. The combination of diet with exercise is a proven formula for results and members are experiencing the benefits.
"We have been testing the dual-branded concept for many months and are very pleased with the results it has yielded for both the franchisee and for the Company. We are excited to roll out this format as one of the options we are launching and are very optimistic that this is a sound business and consumer offering," said Monty Sharma, CEO of Curves and Jenny Craig. "Members can join Jenny Craig and Curves together, or either of the programs separately."
Dual-brand center owners can attest to the success of the concept. "I have seen the profitability of my center improve by adding Jenny Craig. Every month it is more and more and we've only been doing it for 6 months. I am very happy with the results so far. The marriage of Curves and Jenny Craig together is so perfect to help people; there is a real need for people to have Curves and to have Jenny Craig and they can come in and do one or do both," said owner Ann-Marie Williams.
Jenny Craig is a leader in the weight loss industry and offers nutritionally-balanced menus featuring nearly 100 entrees, snacks and desserts, as well as one-on-one consultations that provide guidance and education on portion control and strategies. Jenny Craig consultants work with each member individually to identify their strengths, challenges and personal goals in order to create unique weekly meal and activity plans that fit individual needs.
Curves is one of the largest chains of fitness centers for women in the world and is famous for its 30-minute Circuit with a coach that works every major muscle group with strength training, cardio and stretching. In 2015, Curves launched new Curves Specialty Classes* which offer workout moves for key focus areas like balance, flexibility and strength, as well as new workouts with Jillian Michaels*.
Franchise opportunities start at $49,900 and include Curves equipment. For more information on purchasing a franchise, please visit www.buycjc.com.

Jenny Craig's program provides nutritionally-balanced menus, which include nearly 100 delicious entrees, desserts and snacks developed by dietitians, nutritionists, and food technologists. One-on-one consultations provide personal support and education on portion control and strategies such as the Volumetrics® Approach**, which helps with satiety. Jenny Craig consultants work with each member individually to identify their strengths, challenges and personal goals in order to create unique weekly meal and activity plans that fit individual needs.
