Hi guys,

Has anyone tried Curves? And have you seen that they now have a combined Zumba with Curves somehow.....any thoughts...is this a good way to go? Thanks, Tracy w.

I did curves for a year about 4 years ago... it was okay. At first it was good exercise but to be honest I got really bored with it and the way it was set up I felt like I was always on display (everything is set up in a circle so you can always see everyone else and they can see you). That being said you may enjoy it. Many people did. I am one of those people if I could have a total gym in my basement I'd be set... I would never set foot in a public gym lol. Unfortunately I can't do that. I have found a local community center that has a full gym and I love it there. It isn't as intimidating as a "normal" gym because of the variety of people who use it.

good luck!

If you have never worked out before and aren't familiar with proper form and function of the various exercises, Curves is a great program, If you have experience in the gym it may not be your thing. The equipment is designed to prevent injury from both doing exercises improperly and lifting too much weight too soon. The staff is knowledgeable and in my experience was very helpful. It is very "friendly" to a less experienced clientele. You won't have to worry about the muscle heads rushing you through your sets or taking forever to complete their 10 million sets like a typical gym. I say try it, you just might like it.
