Curves

Going to Curves again felt so good. I got such a good workout and the employees now are so nice and friendly. They waived the sign-up fee and I only pay $29 dollars a month to go. I plan on going everyday and to continue walking.
 
Hello my Curves sista!!! :p :p :p I'm really happy that you had a good work out yesterday and more importantly, that you really enjoyed it. I LOVE going because we are so silly in there, those ladies have become my very good friends. That's what makes Curves so special to me, when you find one where the people really care about one another it's the GREATEST!

Keep having fun!
 
I was a member of Curves before and I'm about to join again. It really does help, the weight started shedding off in no time. I didn't eat anything special or watch my calories that much, and I only worked out 3 days a week, and I dropped 20lbs within a month and a half or two months.

I actually can't wait to join again (I'm joining tomorrow), it's sooo fun, and I really feel energized after I leave. :)

I only paid 30 dollars a month too. It was actually 99 dollars for 3 months. They have a lot of specials too. So watch out for those.
 
Does curves allow you to pay a fee for individual visits? I really need to get a workout, but I only have time in my schedule to go on Saturdays. I think for only four times a month the whole price just isn't worth it.

No I don't think so, but don't quote me. The theory is that you work out 3 times a week for 30 minutes so I would doubt that you could pay a prorated fee for only one day per week. They do have specials all the time and you could get a week (sometimes 2) or a month even sometimes for free and just see how you like it if you're curious, but I doubt you'll be able to prorate.
 
Curves , I looked into it-2 things I didn't like, the high sign up fee plus monthy fee and the fact that it's a franchise and the owners of each Curves just goes and takes some classes in order to run the gym , if I'm paying that much I'd rather have a real nutritionist and trainer telling me what to do.

If I remember correctly you had two choices on diets either low carb or low calorie- calorie one is the one I would've went with - it was something like 1st two weeks your limited to 1200 calories a day and they slowly upgrade after the two weeks. I also didn't like how they give no info on their site or over the phone. But this is coming from a very picky person so I know not everyone feels the way I do.
 
Does any Curves user do additional workouts too? I love my 30 minute workouts, I can feel my muscles working hard on those machines, but I'm wondering if I should add walking or aerobics as well. Does anyone else do this??

I walk 2 miles twice a week...and do Curves 3 days a week. Well, now 2 days a week b/c I had to give up my Friday in order to take my daughter to her tennis lessons. I used to be real hard core about my strength training too, would do that on my walking days in the evening. I was real gung ho when I first started. I was doing everything and was going to Curves 5 days a week.

I think walking + Curves is a very nice combination that yields great results.
 
Thanks OHD. I've been going 6 days a week. But I feel like I should be doing more or something, I think I'll try it.

BTW, I don't think I ever congratulated you on your weight loss. Congrats!!!!

Thanks a bunch! I was OD'ing on Curves too and they "made" me cut back so then I added walking in its place. I was loosing at a really good rate with Curves alone, but noticed the big difference in my leg measurements once I started walking...which was EXACTLY what I wanted.
 
Yeah, walking is probably the best thing for legs, or one of the best things. My legs, thighs and butt are huuge. So the more I move these legs, the better for my legs.
 
I do Curves, walk , Tae Bo....and Yoga as well...so yes, LOL...teh only thing with me is I tend to get a little sore...
 
i went to visit a curves today. i've always liked the idea, but never actually been in one.

i'm wondering for those of you that go/went to curves, are you still active there and are you still getting results? have any of you lost a significant amount of weight..or any weight, i should say?

i'm just looking for things i can do to keep me going and hold me even more accountable. right away when i walked in, the music was soundin' quite good and i was ready to go. so yeah - just wondering how everyone's doin' with that!
 
I received a two-week trial to Curves as a gift so I went tonight for the first time. I liked it but I didn't feel like I worked out very hard at all.

Can anyone tell me what the "Advanced Workout" is? Like how many reps on the machines? I thought about stepping it up a bit.

I figured I would try to go often for the couple weeks and see about some sort of high weight loss. *grin*

Thanks!
 
I'm not sure what the Advanced Workout is. Ask the people that work there, as it can change from center to center.

When I first started going to Curves it wore me out, but now my body has adjusted, and its really not hard at all. So I found that I have to really workout with intensity to make it worthwhile. I go as fast and as hard as I can, and its really effective.

Make sure that they show you what to do on all the machines, and then do it as fast and as hard as you can. Curves is really good, but its only as good as you make it.

Good luck!!!

Thank you so much! I asked the woman about the Advanced but she said she didn't want to tell me until I had done this one a few months. :rolleyes: I told her I had been running and biking for years so she knows about how athletic or whatever I am.

She did take me around the circuit twice and taught me all the machines. So I'm good that way! My heart rate was too high every time though....

Thank you!

My heart rate stays too high most of the time. They told me its because I'm not breathing right or something. I don't even bother checking it when exercising anymore, I just continue exercising. lol.

Anyway, Curves may not be the best for everyone. If you do think its not enough then you should definitely join a gym that will be beneficial to you.
 
I fount this thread on a curves forum...



According to this lady the Advanced Workout is reps and stuff , like you said.

Hope it helps. :)
