Curves For Women

Pros: Good workout, and CurveSmart program is a great way of keeping track of your progress.
Cons: They refuse account cancellation. Staff members are unknowledgable. Gym hours are inconvienient.

I have been a member of Curves for two years now. Only one out of those two years was I able to use their service. I have had complications and pain due to an underlying health issue that has not yet been diagnosed (I am still in the process, have had ...

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: Brainless, high motivation, easy, good atmosphere, solid workout, FAST
Cons: Not an intensive workout for the fit–especially weights–and could get boring. No childcare, short hours.

My mom has joined her local Curves, and I got to visit once during the winter. Even in my fat and out of shape condition (virtually no exercise for 6 months), it was obvious from the owner's reaction that I was one of the fittest of the people who come. ...

Pros: it does give initial body strength and toning
Cons: If the room is full........you will need to wait your turn......if you have time.

They tell me is is a fittness and health club but they do not discourage customers from refraining wearing perfume for those who have allergies.  The room is small and they have fans on the floor which only blows around the offending ...

Pros: The work out is great.
Cons: The owners are unprofessional and lacking respect for their members.

The owner of Curves in Buena Park, CA took money from my account without my knowledge and then refused to speak to be about it.  She was rude and hung up the phone on me.  I contacted Curves International and they asked her to return the money ...

Pros: Great workout in 30 minutes with no guesswork.
Cons: They are not open consistently at convenient times for working people. 

I joined curves about 2 1/2 months ago and have found it to be very helpful.  As somone who has been dedicated to physical fitness but with some limitations due to arthritis, I could no longer run, and just doing the eliptical I have at home wasn't ...

Pros: fun workout, supportive environment, actual RESULTS!
Cons: price, limited hours, might not offer much to those who are already very athletic

I just joined curves less than a month ago and I am extremely pleased with the results thus far.  I am 29 years old and have been overweight by about 15-20 pounds for many years.  I have always hated to exercise and had become flabby ...

Pros: Nothing
Cons: EVERYTHING

Im 30 years old,and Iwas curious about this "club" and I wanted to try so my husband got me a 3 MONTHS gift certificate for Christmas so He bought it earlier than Christmas Day as you might understand...on January we got our wedding so I coulndt start it ...

Pros: Moderate workout
Supportive and diverse environment
Cons: Blueberry Hill with a backbeat (music can get tiresome)
One can make it too easy

About 7 years ago as I was slowly working my way up to 300 pounds of couch potato. I joined Curves for Women. I had no confidence I could do the circuit and negotiated a month-long exit to my contract with the owner. I tried it and began coming daily. I ...

Pros: Great for people that are self-motivated to work their hardest at every machine.
Cons: I can see how it would be easy to slack off and see no results.

I worked out at Curves for a year.  Yes, I was out of shape and overweight (5'0, 145 lb) when I started.  I had worked out at gyms in the past with great results, but always ended up being there for a couple hours to get in everything I ...

Pros: All Women Club
Convenient
Easy to learn machines and routine
Management was very supportive
Cons: Can get boring
Hours may be limited

I joined Curves at the recommendation of a friend who had seen great results; I checked it out as I had seen it in my neighborhood but wondered what it was all about.  I was looking for toning, firming, increased energy but not weight loss ...

Pros: * No guess work in what exercises to do and how long to do them
Cons: * If you are an intense athlete then you're better off at Gold's. 

 Before Curves I had no energy at all, I didn't work out, my metabolism was horrible, and I just kept eating. Curves is making a huge difference in my life. The workouts are so quick that before you know it, you are done! I love how the equipment ...

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: All women, no men, no weights, good instruction and great friends!
Cons: Music-not enough variety especially after 2 years!

In order for this routine to work for you, you have to push yourself to do the work. If you're going to go in just so you can say "Well, I did my 30 minute work out" without really putting effort into your workout, it's not going to work. You have to ...

Pros: If you like to socialize, this is the place for you.
Cons: Thirty minutes is not enough time to workout, workers talk to you while you exercise.

I joined curves for about three to four months back in 2006 at $39 dollars a month. You get to pay $29 if you sign a contract for a whole year. Wow, not much of an incentive, ten dollars. At first I liked it because I hadn't excercised for so long that ...
