Curves for Women

I joined Curves a few years ago. I hate to be a nay sayer but I found it quite boring. Sure there were big success stories everywhere (they have them on the walls) but I didn't see any difference in the women that were there. They have very limited hours.. I need a gym that is open all day and all night- I think it was like 8-12 and then again at 4-8. It was odd.. I needed a place where I could go after my daughter went to bed- 8.. It wasn't only the time that bothered me-- It was the whole workout- The machines are resistance machines- No treadmills or weight machines, nothing to get your heart rate up.. I just wasn't impressed. I went for about 6 months off and on when I could- finally I just quit going and went to the local gym that was open 24/7. Here they had weights, treadmills, elipticals, bikes.. trainers! It was great! The problem was when I signed up you had to pay for a full year in advance or have them take it out of your checking account each month- but it was for a year- I hope you have better luck than me.

I joined last year, and went pretty regularly for a while, but our local Curves has very limited hours. I like to work out later at night, like 8:00 p.m., but they close at 8:00. So I was always rushing around to get there before they closed. I love the whole concept and I loved moving from machine to machine because you got a full body workout. But, like I wrote, I didn't like the hours they were open.

When I joined 3 years ago it was a $180 start up fee and $35 a month after that. So it probably has went up a little bit. Call them and ask them if there are any deals coming up

There are certain times a year when Curves runs a special where they will waive the sign-up fee or offer at a reduced rate. My checking account is debited for about $30 each month. Some Curves will let you sign up for 3 or 6 months instead of the full year. Have you visited Curves? They usually offer a week free for those interested in checking them out.

I just joined Curves last week. Right now they are running a special - 30/30.. 30% of the joiners fee (usually $150 now $100).. and 10% (?) off the monthly fee (usually $50 now $40)plus 30 days free. I will get $20 credit from my insurance every month I go 12 times.. so it will be $20 a month for me. Good Luck.. I have officially worked out 3 times and have enjoyed it and am feeling it!

My co-worker is a member but she's left for the day, othwise I'd ask her for you. I do know she enjoys it and it's been working. She's lost 8 inches already!
