Have Asthma? Curves International and at least one of its fancisees could care less. After several Asthma attacks at my local Curves gym in Parksville BC, Canada, followed by numerous requests to have a fan installed in the location I finally asked to have my life membership and monthy fee refunded.
The air quality (excessive humidity from a circle of panting women) was making it impossible for me to remain a member. Fan? Refund? Not likely, in fact the owner "didn't much like being told how to run her business" and turfed me out. I guess my red bulging panting face irritated her. So I contacted head office and was promplty blown off there too.
Advice, don't bother with Curves International, Angela, their customer relations representative serves absolutly no purpose other than to weed out possible francise purchasers and wanna-be members. If you have an issue, you're out of luck. Regarding francisee air quality requirements no one will respond to my inquiry. Perhaps one of their lobbyist members will shed some light in a rebuttle.
Anywho, my lungs are happily pumping accross the street at a competitors gym that has eight fans. For the cost of a $50.00 dollar fan this francise owner lost thousands over time. Some business person eh? I want my money back and a letter that says they have removed my finger print from their data base. I think that is my right! But in the mean time telling my story to everyone I meet has been soothing me a little.
