Good to hear. I'll be sure to recommend them.

I found the following on the alt.gossip.celebrities ng:


-- Just so you know: Gary Heavin, the founder of the Waco, Texas-based
chain of exercise studios called Curves, is a heavy contributor to
several organizations allied with Operation Save America, the rather
more muscular successor to Operation Rescue, the anti-choice group.

The organizations he funds are spreading the lie that abortions lead
to an increased risk of breast cancer. Planned Parenthood says its
operations in Texas are being threatened by Heavin-funded clinics
based on the old therapeutic model "you must carry your child to
term."

In an article in Christianity Today, Heavin expressed pride in his
involvement with anti-choice groups, to which he donates 10 percent of
Curves' profits. You may do with this information what you will.
