Just wondering if anyone is a member of Curves or Contours gym for women? Can you tell me a bit about it, do you like it/don't like it? What type of memberships are available?
Thanks

I haven't tried either. I love the concept, however my MIL and several friends who are physios kinda grabbed me and screamed a big "NO WAY!!!!" at me when I mentioned perhaps trying one. Because you have very limited time on each machine there is no way of customising weights to suit you, so they see a lot of women coming in with back injuries because of these places.
The weights are set for the greatest common set of users, and anyone outlying these requirements is not having an optimal workout. It is the same, really, with any circuit weight/machine program...
You may well be within the right range of user, but still food for thought. And my understanding of the matter may be way off - it has been a long time since these discussions, and I AM suffering with baby brain and severe sleep deprivation... Regardless of reason, it was a definite no...
I still really love the concept, though! Hope that helps!
