is anyone a member of curves gym? or has anyone been a member? just wondering what you thought of it? one has opened up near me and as im in the country, there really isnt much else on offer other than the council run leisure centre, which i have been going to for body sculpt and pilates.

i like the group classes i've been going to, because i just feel i work harder and get more out of it than if i were to go to the gym by myself. however seeing the concept of curves, i think it could be quite similar to a class, as its like a circuit type environment.

my main concern is that curves might
a) become boring (doing the same work out every time you go)
b) results might plateau (i believe you need to mix up your exercise every now and then so your body doesn't get used to the same old thing)

can anyone comment? also i HATE the idea of being locked into a 12 month membership.... id prefer to pay for a month and see how i go, and then maybe pay for 3 months. has anyone found they can be flexible with their membership or is it just the 12 months and thats that?

thanks for your advice
