My wife was for a couple of years, really liked it because the people were nice. But then they changed the staff, lots of people signed onto a similar program at the local hospital, so the tone of the place changed and she didn't go back. The physical program she was very happy with, it was just the change in people that soured her,

i have gone ever since they opened here (7 years) to keep tone.I also when have gone visiting some others in a different state have gone to keep my 6 days aweek going.I enjoy it but for now I havnt been able to go since my injury @ work awaiting knee surgery and :( i do miss it so so much.but that's just me

Well, I have curves, but have never gone to one. lol.

I thought of it - but it was the most expensive thing going. Maridon is right, it's the people that are in the program that matter, not the actual program (I don't really think there is a HUGE difference) Just my opinion.

I was in it a couple of years ago but my body didn't agree with those machines.....plus I kinda overdid it, ended up with pulled muscles in my back and 6 months of therapy lol....oops.....but I didn't find it overly expensive and the people were nice..even had me kinda helping with newcomers and gave me a couple of free t-shirts lol before I got injured.....so it was fun while it lasted.......

I went around a curve too fast once and my car spun around 360 degrees. OH you mean the the fitness club ;-)))

OK I shook my head at that one Druid - is that considered exercise???

Druid, Bebu,
Funny! I suppose lifting those chocolate chip cookies (freshly made and warm!) is exercise too! lol

Im not a member...but I got lots of em ;) he he

I joined curves and I am sorry I did. I really do not think it did much for me. I stopped going but of course still have to pay every month. My sister is very into the gym scene and she was a member for a long time and she stopped going too. She just does not really like the machines. Says too repetitive. My nephew is a trainer and he said you need to change-up work outs.
So I guess it is up to the person.

Just reached my 500th workout at Curves a few weeks ago so I guess you could say I like it. It certainly helped me gain muscle mass and lose fat. Yes it may be repetitive but it works every muscle group. I don't know about other clubs but the clubs I've belonged to rearranged the machines every so often so that your body doesn't get used to doing the same thing over and over again.

I belonged to it for a few years, until 2008 when I had some major surgery and couldn't exercise for 6 months. Then my Curves closed, but after trying a number of different things to get some exercise in (I hate exercising) and gaining another 20 lbs, I decided to join this week at a nearby Curves. It is 20 minutes from home, but on my way home from work, so I should be able to get there at least during the week. I enjoyed the female camaraderie...I hate going to a gym with a bunch of buff college guys...I am 48 yrs old. :)

justdoreen is correct in changing things up and
Druid: You are still the comedian you have always been LOL
