Curves - What's Your Opinion

If you are or have been a member of Curves, tell me what you think about it. It sounds too good to be true.

I have not joined a Curves. I liked the idea of it and there is one kind of close to my work and I thought it would be good to go on my lunch break, so when I checked into in I saw their hours and they close for lunch! I couldnt believe it. So I joined the Y instead which was also near my work.

Sorry I cant be more help if any!

I've heard great things about Curves.  A lady I used to work with was on the program and she lost weight very well...  However, she quit going.  Unfortunately, she did not win her battle with the bulge.  She was not a wls patient.  She said that she loved it though, I'm not sure why she quit going.

Thanks everyone for you input. I think I'll pass on the Curves commitment. I hope to find some form of exercise that I will enjoy soon.

have u thought of looking at the community center in your area. I have not been to the one in Antioch but i have been to two of them in the area.  They are run by Metro parks.  They have a pretty nice exercise room and different classes that you can take.  Some also have swimming pools.  I take a belly dancing class (Lol) on Sat. morning's at the one on Thompson Lane.  You can pay monthly if u want. No contract.  I think its something like $30/month or you can just pay each time you go.  and that is $2.  We just pay as we go.  No,  it's not as great as going to a gym but hey, for 2 bucks a visit i think it's great!

No I had not but I will check on this today. Thanks for the suggestion!

I checked out Coleman (Thompson Lane). I would like to try the water aerobics on Tu & Thur evenings. If not, I definitely need to check out the gym there. Thanks again for the suggestion.

Coleman is nice.  I checked out their belly dancing class.  It was fun.  And more of a work out than i expected! m Although i felt everything BUT sexy! hahaha!  I didn't use their gym or pol but i did see the facilities and they looked pretty nice.  I usually go to Hartman Park (near Clarksville Hwy) .  They have an olympic size pool and i love to swim.  Let me know when u check it out and see what u think.

I would rethink... curves is great.  I had lapband 9/06 and have been at goal for about 2 years.  I enjoy curves because at first I did not want to be in a "gym" atmosphere. Now I go just because I can work out as hard or easy, it is up to me.  The hours can be a problem sometimes but if you can fit it around when you are available it is a great overall workout.
