Curves For Women

Pros: Very easy to do. No weights to change.
Cons: I think it would get extremely boring after awhile.

I have had a coupon for a free week at Curves for quite awhile. Len is at a meeting tonight so I decided to check it out. I telephoned first and the opening hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 7. p.m. Friday, and 8 a.m. ...

Pros: It targets a specific population. The concept is simple.
Cons: The concept may be too simple. The knowledge of the owners is questionable.

There has been a lot of talk about Curves for Women . Two have been built near my house in two different towns. Very curious about this fitness center I took advantage of their one-week free offer. I will be reviewing both the concept and the ...

Pros: No men, 30 minute workouts, easy to follow routine, social, fast
Cons: Gets boring, no way to move up when your fitness levels boosts

My sister and I thought we needed to get to a gym and workout and doing it together would be motivating. We chose Curves in Cicero, NY because it was close by us both and looked easy, taking only 30 minutes to complete the whole circuit. For us, it was ...

Pros: Tailored workouts, no weights to worry about, friendly atmosphere
Cons: None so far

Over the past few years, I have done a lot of exercising with Leslie Sansone walk aerobics, and sometimes I use barbell weights as I exercise.  When my doctor told me I needed to do more weight bearing exercises to help increase my bone ...

Pros: Simple concept, targeted at women, 30 minutes, 3 times a week
Cons: Not for serious workout-ers

I have always been what some people refer to as "well-endowed," but to be honest, I'm a bit more endowed than I would like. When I first heard of Curves for Women I thought, wow, if only I could cut down on my curves... the name appealed ...

Pros:

Low-impact workout, women only, 30 minutes and you're done.

Cons: Expensive, no showers, no pool, smelled bad, poor ventilation

I see from some of the other reviews here that Curves for Women is pretty popular and well-liked. And I admit, the concept of a place where women can work out without a bunch of men leering at them was long overdue . . . here in Portland, Oregon we had a ...

Pros: It only take 30 minutes!
Cons: If crowded, you might have to wait

My job as a first grade teacher builds up lots of stress and I need to release that stress so that I may do the best job possible. A friend told me about a new workout place that she was going to. It is called Curves.

Of course, I've done...

Pros: cheaper than fully featured gyms, equipment simple to use, supportive ambience, sell is straightforward.
Cons: absolutely no frills, owners/employees don't know that much sports physiology IMHO.

As you know if you know anything about me, my primary exercise is running and I am pretty heavily into it. As you also know if you know anything about exercise, running is one that's fraught with injuries. If you injure yourself while running on public ...

Pros: Close to home, friendly staff, affordable
Cons: Can get repetitious and boring, sometimes crowded.

First of all, after reading and reading and reading, I almost decided not to write a review of my own about Curves, but I just have something to say and I can't hold back any longer. I won't bother going into the whole diatribe about how Curves for ...

Pros: Quick. Easy. Music keeps you pumped up. Great for the average person.
Cons: Not for anyone seriously into sports or working out. Becomes routine after awhile.

I used to be one of those skinny women that everyone hated. I’ve never had a big appetite so I was able to eat whatever I wanted. My job kept me moving enough that obesity was never an issue for me. Last year I left my fairly active job (as a ...

Pros: No counting repetitions, no remembering which machine comes next, fun and quick
Cons: Quality and Staff Experience Varies by Location

I was a little skeptical of Curves when a friend of mine joined seven months ago, figuring it was an ...

Pros: More fun than anywhere else I've exercised
Cons: Workout not hard enough

I joined Curves for Women about 6 months ago. Reluctant doesn't begin to describe my feeling about getting back into exercising. I am a dedicated couch potato, and would stay one had I not finally gotten disgusted with the fact that firming and toning...

Pros: Fast, straightforward and doable.
Cons: Limited hours, varied staff effectiveness.

The title says a lot for me. I like the idea of exercising and the results, but not actually doing it. So, to be still going after a year is pretty amazing. I had a friend join, and she liked it, and more importantly she was looking better for it. ...

Pros: Very comprehensive workout that is realistic
Cons: My local facility is closed on weekends

Having read several of the reviews on Curves for Women, some good and some not, I felt compelled to share my own experience with the program.

Let me just start by saying that it is not designed to be a miracle cure for weight loss, or for...

Pros: Its an effective, fun workout in a short time.
Cons: The hours are limited.

I joined Curves about 2 1/2 months ago. I called to inquire about pricing and was given an accurate answer over the phone, unlike Lady of America. The price was $79.00 + tax to join and $29.00 + tax per month. The regular price is higher, but I think ...
