Jacqueline who is the owner, seated on the excercise machine in the photo, and Mary Lou, Amanda, and Julia are the staff that will make working out a whole lot of fun. My wife, a Curves member, mentioned that Julia is a great artist with some of her works featured in the health club here. Jacqueline is from Kansas City, Missouri which is a classy mid-western town. Jacqueline and I were talking about the "city of fountains" where a JC Nichols, a local developer went to Europe in the lat 1800's and bought many grand fountains and them shipped to Kansas City where he integrated them in one of the most attractive residential developments that I've ever seen. We also talked about the great barbeque that is a hallmark of the town. Speaking of Hallmark, the world headquarters of Hallmark Cards is in KC. Jacqueline is certified by the American Physical Fitness Council. She received her certification at a course she took in Las Vegas where she studied with famous fitness icons like Jack Lalane and Arnold Swartzeneger. She started her women's fitness career at a health club in California. According to Jacqueline, it was a long story how she arrived here in coastal Maine, a story she felt would be too long to include here. Jacqueline opened her first Curves in York, Maine about 13 years ago. She's delighted to now be in Freeport and she simply loves living in Maine.
The mission of Curves is "Strengthening Women" founded by Gary Heavin and his wife. Gary says in his book, "The Curves' dream began over thirty years ago when I dropped out of a pre-med program and took over a failing health club. With nothing but a passion for women's health, I began the learning process that would inevitably evolve into the world's largest fitness center franchise" The book I refer to is titled "Member Guide: Curves, strengthening Women". So ladies, don't delay, go visit Freeport Curves today which is located above Thai Garden, easily reached off Exit 20 in Freeport. Or call 865-3147
