I am currently a gym member of a gym 20 mins drive away. I work, study and am a single mum and it seems such an effort to get there in time for a class.

There is a Curves only 700m from home, up a killer hill (great warm up to walk there). I've seen ads for Curves Complete and wonder what the meal plans and one on one coaching involve.

I tried Curves before and found it deadly boring. Generally, I find circuits boring. But, I can get there and home and do a circuit in the time it takes me to travel to and from my gym.

I am losing weight by nutrition alone, but need to work on my exercise. I used to work for Weight Watchers International before my son same along, so I know what to do. I am a member of a community weight loss group and have weekly weigh ins. I enjoy the company, but don't get a lot of motivation from there. I am thinking that one on one coaching may be quite useful.

Thoughts? Feedback?

    I had a coworker who loved Curves because it was fast and had convenient locations, but I never heard of Curves Complete. My hang up with the gym was always day care. I felt guilty and therefore didn't attend often because already my son had been in school and after school daycare all day, and now I had to drop him off at the gym daycare. Plus he started having homework in first grade to do - so by the time I could have done a workout, it was already 8 pm, and I was toast.

    My gym has a creche until midday. I have my son in daycare 4 days and half day at nanna's. He's 18 months ld.

    Curves Complete has manu plans and one on one coaching. But they close for 3-4 hours a day from lunch until mid afternoon

    Last year I did Curves Complete and lost almost 10kg in 3 months (April - July)... if you stick to it, it works!

    I've recently moved to a new town and last week joined Curves there, and yes, I'll agree the circuit does get a bit tedious at times - and trust me, I get bored easily but I've decided to push on through and stay committed. I also like the fact I can be in and out in just over 30 minutes!!

    This year, I've signed on to do Curves Complete again (I actually started the 'diet' part today) but I have my sister doing it along with me, and we're doing it for six months, so... if I can lost 15kg in 6 months i'll be happy, 20kg and i'll be ecstatic!! I KNOW it works so I'm hoping my willpower will see me through again!

    Oh and in the 9 months since finishing Curves Complete, to rejoining last week, I had only put on 1.7kg! I was super pleased about that.
