Award for fitness centre

A fitness centre in Woy Woy has received a newspaper award for best in its industry on the Central Coast.

Curves of Woy Woy celebrated taking out the Express Advocate Business Award for the Best in the Health and Fitness Industry recently.

The awards were held at Mingara Leisure Centre on September 6.

Curves members nominated the business and Ms Connop was informed over the phone that it was a finalist.

Curves owner Ms Gael Connop said that she was "very excited" at being nominated.

Ms Connop said the judges visited the health centre anonymously and were impressed with the staffs' friendly and helpful attitude as well as the cleanliness of the facilities.

"This was totally unexpected," Ms Connop said.

We only opened around Christmas last year.

"Our award was presented near the end of the night, and while everyone else was cool, calm and collected, we were raging and screaming."

Ms Connop said she would also like to thank the members and staff of Curves.

"We could not have achieved this award without them."
