Bed-Stuy Gateway and the Fulton-Nostrand Revitalization Project

Profile a Business: Shaping Bed-Stuy's Curves

For a woman, a walk into any fitness center typically means an encounter with complicated machines being used by body builder types with bulging muscles - an intimidating sight. The atmosphere is quite different when one enters the Curves Fitness Center for Women of Bed-Stuy, located at 1542 Fulton Street, 2nd Floor (Between Throop Avenue and Albany Avenue).

Here, the owner Sandra or one of her employees greets you by name with a smile on her face and an enthusiastic tone, ready to encourage you through your workout. After working as a public health nurse at St. Mary’s Hospital for over thirty years, Sandra had a knowledge of the health conditions (obesity, high blood pressure, cholesterol, depression, low self-esteem, stress) that particularly affect the Bed-Stuy community and wanted to open a business where she could continue change the health and lives of her former patients.

As a member of Curves herself, Sandra opened the Curves of Bed-Stuy fitness center in April 2004 as the perfect extension to her previous occupation and way of life. 

Curves of Bed-Stuy is here to service the needs of the women of Bed-Stuy and surrounding areas who want to stay fit and healthy.  For an introduction to Curves of Bed-Stuy and a free Figure Analysis, come in or call 718-771-0097.
