Behind the Scenes at Curves Club Camp 2026
A Look Inside the Learning, Leadership and Sisterhood Behind Curves
How Curves Owners Continue Learning, Growing and Supporting Women Everywhere
From March 10–14, Curves franchisees from across Australia came together in beautiful Palm Cove, Queensland for Curves Club Camp; an inspiring week of learning, collaboration, encouragement and connection.
While members see the welcoming smiles, motivating workouts and supportive environment inside their local Curves club every day, events like Club Camp are a reminder that there is so much happening behind the scenes to help every Curves location thrive.
Set in a tropical paradise surrounded by palm trees, warm weather and stunning beaches, Palm Cove provided the perfect backdrop for franchisees to recharge, connect and enjoy some well-earned downtime between sessions and events.
Club Camp is all about helping passionate Curves owners and coaches continue to improve their knowledge, leadership and business skills so they can deliver the very best experience possible for their members.
It’s also a powerful reminder that Curves is more than just a fitness club. It’s a worldwide sisterhood of women supporting women.
What Happens at Curves Club Camp?
Throughout the week, Australian franchisees participated in workshops, discussions, training sessions and collaborative activities designed to strengthen every part of the Curves experience.
The event featured presentations and insights from several experienced leaders within the Curves network, including:
- Kim McQueen: A former multi-club owner and current CEO and President of Curves North America, Australia and New Zealand
- Christal Sperling: A multi-club owner who travelled from Oregon in the United States to share ideas around marketing and promotions
- Glenda Johnston: Curves club owner and Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand
- Kauri Palmer: Head of Curves Digital, presenting on the new website, SEO strategies and the future of MyCurves On Demand
Each day focused on different areas of growth, from member experience and business development to leadership, communication and community connection.
Owners and coaches had the opportunity to:
- Learn new ideas to better support members on their health journeys
- Share real experiences and success stories from clubs around the country
- Explore new ways to build stronger local communities
- Develop leadership and coaching skills
- Stay updated on the latest Curves programs and strategies
- Connect with other passionate franchisees who understand the unique challenges and rewards of running a Curves club
One of the biggest highlights of the week was simply being together.
Many franchise owners work tirelessly behind the scenes every day, often wearing multiple hats while supporting the women in their local communities. Club Camp gave everyone the chance to step away from the day-to-day routine, recharge, exchange ideas and reconnect with the wider Curves family.
On the final day of Club Camp, franchisees travelled to Atherton for the grand reveal of Glenda Johnston’s newly renovated club, which has officially reopened under the Curves 30 refresh.
Club owners were excited and inspired to experience firsthand what the future of Curves clubs will soon look like, with the refreshed design creating an even more welcoming and modern environment for members.
To close out the week, the group travelled through the rainforest to watch the sunset over a beautiful lake before saying their goodbyes, a memorable ending to a week filled with learning, connection and inspiration.
