Celebrating Your Strength, Your Journey, and Your Sisterhood
Why October is our Month for Celebration
October has always been a significant month at Curves, but this year, we are doing things a little differently. For the past two and a half months, our community has been deeply focused on fundraising and raising awareness for female cancers through our partnership with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund. While that vital advocacy remains a core part of who we are, we want to expand our focus this October.
This month, we are dedicating our space, our energy, and our community to a grand celebration of all things Curves. We are shifting the spotlight onto you, our members, to celebrate your unique journeys, your incredible physical and mental strength, your commitment to prioritising yourself, and the powerful sisterhood that holds us all together.
As Kim McQueen, CEO of Curves, explains:
“What we wanted to do is really talk about celebrating women’s strength through talking about what they’re achieving at Curves.”
Why Women Must Take Time to Celebrate Themselves
As women, we are often natural caregivers, professionals, partners, and friends, routinely placing the needs of everyone else above our own. We look at our fitness and health journeys through the lens of what we “should” be doing, rather than pausing to acknowledge what we have already achieved.
Taking the time to celebrate yourself is not an act of indulgence; it is a necessity for your well-being. When you acknowledge your progress, you reinforce your own capability and resilience. Every workout completed, every heavier weight lifted, and every habit formed is a victory. This month is a reminder that you deserve to be celebrated not just for what you do for others, but for who you are and the effort you invest in yourself.
As Kim notes, this month is all about pausing to:
“…celebrate your journey, celebrate your strength, celebrate prioritising yourself, and then celebrate sisterhood.”
30 Minutes Just for You: Leaving Your Worries Behind
The Curves circuit is designed to be highly effective for your physical health, but its true magic lies in what it does for your mind. It represents 30 minutes in your day that belong exclusively to you.
When you step onto the circuit, you are invited to leave your worries, your to-do lists, and your stressors at the door. For those 30 minutes, there are no distractions, just the rhythm of the machines, the guidance of your coach, and the support of the women around you. It is a sanctuary where you can focus entirely on your body, your breath, and your strength. Prioritizing this short window of time each day allows you to return to your life feeling recharged, grounded, and empowered.
A Celebration of Every Journey
One of the most beautiful aspects of the Curves community is that no two journeys look the same. Women walk through our doors at entirely different stages of life, often turning to us after significant life events, injuries, or medical situations. Whether you are rebuilding muscle strength after a major joint surgery, recovering from a car accident, or navigating a milestone like pregnancy, our circuit is here to support you.
Kim highlights the inspiring diversity of the women who make up our clubs:
“A lot of women come into Curves after having a medical situation… We’re really celebrating the impact that Curves has on women’s lives.”
Curves is a place where women strengthen women, no matter where they are starting from. This October, we want to collect and share these powerful testimonials, highlighting the profound impact that dedicated strength training and a supportive environment have on women’s lives.
Four Weeks of Celebration
To guide our celebration throughout October, we have broken the month down into weekly themes that honor different elements of the Curves experience, starting from October 5th:
-
- Week 1 — Work Out (Celebrate Your Strength): We focus on the physical milestones, the consistency, and the raw capability of your body on the circuit.
- Week 2 — Share Your Story (Celebrate Your Journey): We invite you to reflect on where you started, how far you have come, and the obstacles you have overcome.
- Week 3 — Bring a Friend (Celebrate Your Sisterhood): We celebrate the community, the friendships, and the shared encouragement that makes our clubs feel like home.
- Week 4 — Complete Your PCS (Celebrate YOU): We bring it all back to the individual, reviewing your personal progress and honoring your dedication to your health.
While breast cancer awareness and support for female cancers will naturally weave through our conversations and activities this month, our overarching goal is to uplift the day-to-day triumphs that happen within our clubs.
As Kim beautifully puts it, the focus is squarely on our community:
“It’s a bit more shifted onto the Curves experience… what we do for women to strengthen women.”
