Anyone doing curves?

I was a member of Curves.....it just didn't do enough for me and I got bored with the repetition and going around in a circle. But, it's worked wonders for other women.
The real question should be - does it make you feel better? Are you losing weight, do you feel more fit? If it's working for you, that's the important part.

I joined curves a few years ago. I was very heavy and lacked self esteem. I liked that curves was only for women and was around the corner from my house. I went there every day. My curves had challenges and a support group type meeting which was very helpful. I lost about 45 pounds. After my membership expired I felt much better about myself and joined a gym that was close to work. Good luck and have fun!

I *heart* curves. I first joined several years ago--when I was a lot younger--and lost weight VERY quickly (went from about 180 and size 14 to 133 and a size 4 from October to January). I was eating healthier and doing Curves shakes in the morning... I worked out five days a week then. I ended up having another baby, and then two more... so I joined again about a year ago (my anniversary is the 7th of this month). In that year, I've lost 50 pounds, but I've also used other cardio in addition to the Curves. This is where the much older part comes in... the weight sure came off faster when I was in my 20's. lol

You have to push yourself on those machines, since that's how they work--resistance machines rely on you to make the intensity differ. Push yourself, and I promise you that you'll see and feel results.

edited to add: if your curves has the book "The Curves Fitness and Weight Management Plan" available, I recommend it!

I go to Curves, I have been going since last October/Novermber and I love it! It's a good work out that doesn't take too long, there are only women there so no uncomfortableness and I can take my baby boy with me. I have mobility issues and have found that the circuit really suits me, you can push as hard or go as gently as you need to (I have arthritis in my joints so some days are good and others bad) as you go around. The staff are all so friendly and they have really fun challenges and things you can get involved in.
I have been going 3 times a week as that suits me and my weightloss and overall fitness has been great. At the moment I am recovering from a knee op so they kindly gave me a medical break in my subscription and I can't wait to get back there!!

Good luck!!

I started Curves back in September 2011 and I have lost 10 lbs so far. I have had a lot of obstacles but am trying to overcome. I love the people there and I have known the owner/manager for sometime and she is wonderful and so supportive. I am disabled and this is so much easier for me than going to a gym and lifting weights. Anyone can check out my profile and add me if they would like to be friends.

I joined Curves this past fall and am loosely following the diet plan and doing 3-4 workouts per week. I lost 15 pounds the first month but haven't really lost much since but that is my fault as I've let life get in the way and not stuck to it. I reapplied myself and am hoping to get back on track this week and from this point forward. Have you asked the ladies at Curves what they think the issue might be?

I've been a member of curves for nearly 3 years now. I go pretty faithfully three times a week. While i did progress and increase resistance for a while it seems now I'm going down or staying the same. And all that time, I've never lost a pound. However I do think this help me not to gain weight. The other thing it seems to do is provide more flexibility due to the bending stretching etc.

Go to your excercise tab and under cardio you can log in curves circuit training. I do it 4 times a week and log in
