The Mandan area fitness franchise of Curves has joined other Curves facilities throughout the world this January in a company-wide campaign called Stronger + Together, an international movement to make one million women healthier in 2010.

The program will rely heavily on women sharing their success stories and providing confidence and inspiration to others.

According to Curves Founder Diane Heavin, a strong component of Curves’ new campaign is that if one woman is able to share her strength in wanting to improve her health, she can help another woman gain confidence, become fit, discover focus and avoid disease. “By making your own health a priority, you become a strong link in the chain and have the power to affect those around you,” she said.

Program information can be found online at www.Curves.com, where women can register for the campaign and share personal stories.

With the campaign comes a “join now and get 30 days free” promotion to get women on the bandwagon of getting healthy.

Curves is located at 507 Burlington St. S.E.
