    Anyone here a member of Curves Gym?

    Hi ladies, I have some weight I want to shift. I looked into fitness first gym & the child minding was a plus with that one BUT I've heard too many horror stories about that place & have decided it's not worth the risk.

    I then called Curves as theres one very local & its for woman only which is great. The down side is there's no child minding. The circuit is 30 minutes & it sounds pretty good to me. I'm going in tomorrow to have a look & ask any other questions I have.

    Has anyone here used Curves or currently using Curves? I'd love to hear of your experience with them please

    TIA

    Yeah for a month I signed up for a month, just to check it out. It was fun the first week, then I got bored and I mean really, really bored. Even the music bored me. The exercise is too light (IMO) and I did not even break a sweat. Not what I wanted with regards to exercise. My mom on the other hand is a member and she loves it. She goes three times a week and it has helped her shift some weight AND (her top reason for going) helped her regain some fitness.

    I was allowed to have a "tester " class. I would advise you to try just sign up for a month, see if you like it and then commit too a year.

    Just to put it in perspective and sort of explain why it did not work for me, because it does work for other ppl ... atm I take muay thai classes. Three times a week for one hour of sweating, yelling and wishing you were not there, but enjoying every last second. I need too be in a class situation, not be left on my own to do my own thing. I need guidence and a strong hand

    eah I will be asking to do a tester first. Ideally I would love a personal trainer to really push me but I just cant afford one. I thought I could try this "circuit" thing at Curves as a starter & hopefully get fit enough & lose some weight at the same time to get into something more tough later on?

    Hmmmmm decisions decisions!!!! I'll give it a test first of course

    Thanks for your reply
