Blimey! Curves is nothing like that.....In my local club there are ladies from 17-79!......It's so friendly and supportive....All shapes and sizes as well.....I am about 8stone overweight so no pert bottom here I can assure u!.....Yes you do get the occasional slim and fit lady but they weren't always like that...they have had to work hard and they are actually a real inspiration for people like me.
I never thought I would enjoy going to a gym...but I have managed to lose nearly 2 stone since January 14th this year.
I was really hoping that there was going to be a Curves area on this forum as the American one is very very American (if u know what I mean!)

I'm sure there are quite a few ladies who use Curves. I used to go to my local one but kinda lost interest - that's why I'm still the size I am - no staying power!
God bless

I Used To Go To Curves But Have Changed Over To Another Gym That Has The Same Workout In It.curves Is Great ,like Any Workout If You Stick To It.i`ve Lost Ten Inches And Stone And Half In Approx 2 Months.
Hello Taz.......I kind of have a 'personal trainer'....Sharon is the Manageress and a really inspirational and motivational superstar! She helps to keep my eye on the goal.....She weighs and measures me every month.....We have such a laugh! I used to be addicted to crisps and cakes....now I'm addicted to Curves!! This is the 1st time in my life that I really feel I can get to the weight I want to.....and to stay there!!......I look forward to going to Curves 4-6 times a week...and as the circuit only takes 30 minutes I can fit it into my busy lifestyle (work full time and have 2 teenage kids)....
I had a medical at work last week and for the 1st time I can remember my blood pressure was normal....and my cholesterol was normal as well....
I must find a tracker and jazz up my profile...hopefully have time later..
Ladies, I must thank you for such a friendly welcome xx


Oh Taz! I'm sorry there isn't one in your area.....Move to Somerset?
I wrote a story in our local paper last week and 27 ladies have joined my gym this week!
I am so desperate to hear from other ladies in the UK who go to Curves.....The American website is pants!
Maybe I should start one?.....Only problem is I wouldnt have a clue how to start....hey ho...xxxx
Tell u what I will do though Kaz....I'll have a word with the owner of my gym...I wonder if she is aware that there is an oportunity to move into the Bristol area.....


I joined curves 2 years ago and lost NOTHING. 1 of the girls I work with was the same and another is doing it now and is very disapointed.
I wouldnt waste my money on them - spend it in a proper gym.
