I just joined Curves and wondering if anyone else has or is doing this workout and is it working for you?

Thanks

It has worked great for me I'm almost at the 4 foot club! I go 3-5 times a week although I haven't gone in the past 2 weeks due to business.

I have a bad back and have to skip 3-4 of the machines and it still works great for me.

Enjoy

I have been a Curves member for 3 years. I have lost 50 lbs. Think of how much I could have lost if I had the band 3 yrs ago.. sigh.

I just had the band put in and I feel like a sloth cause I cant go back till oct 6th.

I love Curves!!!! I just joined a month ago and try to go 3 to 5 times each week. I really miss it on the days I can't go. I wish their hours were more extended, but I have been working hard on fitting it in.

I lost 12 pounds the first month after my weight loss had plateaued for weeks.

I too am thinking of joining Curves, there is one right down the street from me. Can some of you tell me what they have, and how they work their program? I also read something on another thread about a discount enrollment for WLS patients..do you know anything about that? Thanks in advance for any insight!!

I went to curves for a year. I loved it. I have one just 2 blocks from my house and started right after surgery when I was healed enough to do it. For me it was just the ticket. I wanted to join a gym but seeing as I had never done any working out, this was a test run for me. I went 3 times a week and really the inches come off bigtime. It also was to get me into the routine. Now I am going to join a gym as I want a more strenuous work out and want to work with weight training more. I think Curves is a great place to get your feet wet.... I know it was for me.

Kat- Curves is always doing one discount or another, I suggest you call and find out. If they dont have a WLS promo going they are probably having some other kind going...they are really good about that.

I am a slow loser so I desided to try Curves. It has really helped me alot. When I first went I looked at the process and throught this is just to easy it can't make a difference, but it did. I struggle to lose 3 pounds a month and this has really helped me lose inches.

Curves is very supportive if you find the right one. Be careful with your back though. Some of the machines are not very good for those of us who suffer from back pain.

They're popping up like crazy over here, there really must be a niche in the market, I've never been afraid of or intimidated by the gym, but even I like the idea of a 30 minute workout. I love running, I do heaps of it but I am really bad with strength training - I understand the importance of it, I have the desire for it but I just cant seem to prioritise it in my life, and I really do like circuit style training.

I had joined curves prior to the band but had to stop due to knee problems it is really good and I enjoyed it but I found out that I have arthrysis? in my knee and had to stop.

I joined Curves the Friday before Labor Day to meet our April 2006 Bandits September Challenge. It's too early to see results, but I'm hopeful. At my age I really need the strength training for my bones.

I joined about two years ago, went for 3 months and quit, but had to keep paying for another year due to their long contract. I have to be honest, I felt like it did nothing for me. I never even worked up a sweat in the 30 minutes I was there. I wasn't sore or anything and felt like I didn't get anything out of it. Therefore, I couldn't work up the motivation to go.

I LOVE CURVES!!!

I joined about a year ago and am still a member. I not only started their exercise program, but also did their six weeks challange (how to eat and loose). The first 6 months I went 3 days a week and strickly followed their high Protein diet and lost about 19 pounds a A LOT of inches.

This was my first "gym" membership, so I was very nervous going into it, but everyone (members, staff, etc.) is so helpful and encouraging. I have not been able to go since surgery (still healing) and have received several phone calls and post cards for the staff to check and make sure everything is okay. I shared with this about my surgery and they were all so supportive.

Most of the Curves have a one week free trial period. If you are not sure if you want to join or not, see if they are offering it and try it for a week.

I just signed up with Curves today. I went in just to look around, but I was really pleased with what I saw. I also really like the fact that I can go to any Curves, not just the one I was at today. To me that is a really big mark in their favor. There are at least 5 within a reasonable driving distance of my house. I go on Monday for my introduction/training on the machines.

Between Curves and my band I have done fantastic. I can't say enough good things about it.

I joined curves last week and have been 3 times this week alread and I have lost 2 pounds I was at a complete stand still and now I am so energized to go and to leave curves. I found that when I feel like giving up on a machine or just want to leave I just say to myself "self you are here to burn off fat so fat be gone" and I find that I work harder and faster. Today was not a day I was planning on going to curves but I was sitting home looking at my laundry and said do I really want to do that and my answer was nope I am going to curves and I was so proud of myself for going in today.

Congrat to everone who is having a great week.
