    Is good when you start out, if you are quite inactive. But, because you can't adjust the resistance, it becomes too easy after a time and you don't really keep improving, just sort of level out. Also, it gets REALLY boring, because its the same thing over and over.

    I'd go back if it wasn't just as expensive as a gym!! I'd recommend joining a gym instead and doing a few circuit classes in amongst everything else they offer.

    When I first made a conscious decison to lose weight in march 2011, I joined curves cuz the workouts were only 30 minutes long and I was relatively new to exercise so it was perfect for me. I absolutely loved it, I lost just over a stone in the 9 months I was with them for. Of course, it felt same-y after a while so I decided to join a gym as I felt more confident and it was cheaper than curves.
    My advice is, if you are just starting out, go for it! but if you know your way aound a gym, might as well register with one.
