Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 The only caveat that I have about Curves (I used to love them) is that their owners are very conservative religious folks who donate a lot of their profits to violent anti-abortion groups. I don't care what their religion is, or what causes they give to as long as it's not coming from money they made off of me. I am now in the market for a gym that is more in line with my own personal beliefs. I am not trying to start any kind of debate, I know that the whole abortion thing is a huge ball of wax and is not appropriate for a bandster forum. I am only trying to inform those who may be interested in learning what kind of causes their money is supporting. Barb S., former Curves aficionado > They seem to be everywhere.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 This is one of the major reasons i decided to join up with Curves is because I do support them and their causes they donate to. One of the owners where I go is a Budhist (sp) and the other owner is a Protestant. There are two co-owners of the franchise. I am a firm believer that we should try to check out where our monies go to as much as we can wth whatever we are involved with. I don't always support what my government (state and nationally) does but I do pay my taxes. gayle in seattle /// > The only caveat that I have about Curves (I used to love them) is that their owners are very conservative religious folks who donate a lot of their profits to violent anti-abortion groups.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I used to go to the one in Redmond Ridge and it was great. I've heard the one in downtown Redmond is always packed, but they have more machines, so there's more variety. (Every day, the same thing. Variety. ; )) They're all closed on Sunday.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 I read the SF Examiner article about this, too, but T. just posted some CORRECT info on this on SmartB. - the Examiner article was apparently VERY wrong, and they have posted a retraction at this site: http://www.cirvesforchoices.org/ Sandy RN > The only caveat that I have about Curves (I used to love them) is that > their owners are very conservative religious folks who donate a lot of > their profits to violent anti-abortion groups.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Thanks Sandy. The link you gave didn't work, so I went to SB and found the post you were talking about. The correct link is http://www.curversforchoice.org/ . I appreciate you and passing on this info. I stand corrected and have contacted the person who passed the misinformation on to me.
