I joined curves like a month ago and I love it and I can already tell a difference in myself in just that short amount of time. However over the holidays I havent done to good with the diet part. I love going to work out here its so nice and layed back and everyone is so nice and supportive

I hope everyone else that goes to curves enjoys it as much as me 15|10|Is it expensive? I really, really need to do something with myself...|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|20:56:26|12/26/2008|

If you have insurance so if your insurance will pay for part of it or all of the membership fee's. My insurance pays part of my fee. All I had to do was call my insurance company and ask them if Curves was one of the gyms they pay membership for they said yes. I have my contract through the insurance and nothing to do with curves other then to use there workout equipment. Does that make sense.

When I joined I didnt have to pay the enrollment fee I just had to pay the monthly fee which is 40.00 per month that is what the insurance wont cover. I think if you join curves its like 59 per month but its well worth the 59 if you can somehow squeeze it into your budget. I know I had to think about where the money was going to come from but I said I dont care I will get it from somewhere because I have to do this for myself. If you go now they might be having a special to where there is no enrollment fee since its the holidays. I know I joined around thanksgiving and that is why I didnt have to pay the enrollment fee.

At my curves they are open from 7:30am-noon and then closed and then reopens at 3:30-8:00 M-F and then saturdays they are opened 7:30-noon. I always go after work which I get there right at 3:30 and I am usually the only one there and by the time I do my workout and going to the stretching machine there are a few other ladies there but everyone is so nice and the people that work at the curves are very very nice.

Dont be afraid because they will go around the circuit with you the 1st time and show you how to use each piece of equipment and show you the stretches and they watch you for the 1st 3 days to make sure you know how to do all the machines and are doing them the right way and after 3 days instead of doing your stretches on the bar or on the floor they will show you how to use this stretching equipment.

I know at my gym I felt like I was the youngest one there all the time and then 1 day a girl came in and she was younger and we started talking and she told me that she had came to curves and lost 50lbs and then her and her boyfriend broke up and she stopped going and she gained all of her weight back and now she was trying to lose it again.

For me since I have been going there I can tell that I have lost weight and inches. And I have alot of people tell me that they can tell that I have lost weight and that makes you feel really good.

I know I had 1 pair of jeans and shirt that I really wanted to beable to fit into and now I can and I wore it to work before christmas and 1 very handsome guy said to me Kathy, since you started going to the gym I can really notice that you have been losing weight. I said oh thank you :) Now I am happily married but when a handsome guy notices it means something to you.

This week the gym has been closed because of christmas and I can tell that I have not been. You will see and improvement and I love it.

Sorry for the long post but I am so happy that I made the decision to join curves.

Thank you for the info! :) I know a lady that comes in to the nursing home where I work to visit with the elderly that goes to Curves, I'll ask her what the membership fees and hours are at our local Curves....I guess I was thinking it was mainly older ladies too, lol. But honestly, I dont mind that, it might make me more motivated to do something knowing that someone 20-30 yrs older than me is doing the exercize, I have no excuse not to! LOL

I used to work out alot, and I know the last 5 yrs especially, I notice I am tired all the time....that and the weight gain over the years. :( And as I get older, I am more worried about my overall health, so I figure any exercize is better than none.

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!
Joy :)

Joy, I know when I started going there all i was seeing where older ladies doing the workouts and you know they were there exercising but not really "working" that hard where as me I go in there and bust my butt the whole 30 mins you are working out I mean I am sweating and some of the ladies are not but I feel like if I dont lose that much weight atleast I'm exercising and getting healthier. It really is a good place to work out.

I am on my feet all day at my job and like you I had alot of back and leg pain and found myself not sleeping that good at night even though i felt exhausted when i went to bed and now that i have started going to the gym i dont have leg cramps anymore and my back doesnt bother me as much.

and when you have worked out 4 or more days per week and you go out to eat with your family and everyone is ordering dessert you stop to think about it. I know we went out to eat one friday evening and my husband and son both wanted dessert and I looked at the menu and then I said why am I going to order this when I have just spent 4 evenings working out what is the point of working out if your just going to order dessert.

Needless to say this week since the gym has been closed. I have ate way too much and my back and legs are hurting so the 1st place I will be on monday afernoon is at Curves.

Let us know if you decide to join and sorry for my looong posts.

Kathy 19|4|I'll be one working my butt off to if I was to go....I think alot of the older ladies approach it as a social thing, lol....if I'm paying to work out, then that's what I'm gonna do gosh darn it! LOL |saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|09:25:22|12/27/2008|

I have been having leg cramps off and on for a while now too, kinda like restless legs, but thankfully it doesnt keep me awake. But I just dont have the pep and ambition I used to have....and I refuse to let myself think it's just because I've gotten a bit older, lol.
My employer has a workout room too, but there's no one there to show us how to use the equipment....maybe I'll do a short membership at Curves to learn the equipment, then go to my employer's room to keep going...it's only $5 a month for us at work. :)

Thanks again for your help!
Joy
