Twenty years ago, Curves Hampton opened its doors with a simple but powerful mission: to create a supportive space where women could become stronger… physically, emotionally, and together.
As we celebrate our 20th anniversary this year, I’ve found myself reflecting on just how much this community means to so many women… including me.
My own Curves journey began when I was just 16 years old, attending the club alongside my mum. Back then, I never imagined I’d one day become the owner. But when the club faced closure following the challenges of the pandemic, stepping in to save it felt deeply personal.
Two days before the doors were due to close for good, I took over the business, and honestly, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Today, Curves Hampton has grown into a thriving community, with members of all ages and fitness levels walking through the doors every week. Some have been with Curves for many years, others are just beginning their journey, but what connects everyone is the feeling of encouragement, support, and belonging.
At Curves, we often say we’re more than a fitness club, we’re a family! And after 20 years in Hampton, I truly believe that.
What makes Curves special is that it’s designed specifically for women. Our 30-minute circuit combines strength training, cardio, and stretching into one coach-supported workout that adapts to each individual woman. Whether someone is returning to exercise, rebuilding confidence, managing health challenges, or simply wanting time for themselves, Curves meets them where they are.
But the real magic has always been the women themselves.
The friendships.
The encouragement.
The coaches who cheer you on.
The feeling of being seen and supported.
To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we want to give something meaningful back to the community that has supported us for so many years.
That’s why we’ve launching our Stronger Together Initiative.
We’re inviting local people to nominate a woman who would truly benefit from a fully funded 12-month Curves membership. Whether she’s faced a difficult season, lost confidence, put herself last for too long, or simply deserves support and encouragement - we want to hear her story.
A select few of nominated women will receive a full year’s membership, helping make fitness, wellbeing, and community more accessible when it’s needed most.
Because strength looks different for every woman.
And sometimes the strongest thing we can do is support each other.
