Curves For Women

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: Wonderful total body workout, Relaxed atmosphere, quick, effective, inexpensive
Cons: not all clubs follow franchise rules, some of the owners are absentee

I work out at curves in my town and after reading some of the reviews, I HAD to write. I am 31 and have been active and working out for my entire life. I first heard of curves when my mom joined. She usually has me check out clubs she joins. I walked ...

Pros: Comfortable environment, price is right, real results
Cons: Somewhat inconvenient hours of operation

I love Curves! I've been going for about two months now and really look forward to the days when I go, usually about three times per week, sometimes more. (You can go up to five times a week.) I joined with the goal of losing weight and getting in ...

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 ...

Pros: Great, quick way to get toned and protect muscle mass.
Cons: Some locations may have limited hours.

I am 23 years old and consider myself an athlete. I compete in Ironman distance triathlons (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run, all one after the other). I was a bit skeptical when I first looked into curves. I went to check it out and had ...

Pros: Quick, Easy, Not intimidating!
Cons: Not open 7 days a week.

I have been a member of Curves since Sept 02' and although I have not been faithful to my workouts (health, move and just plain lazy) it is a great place! I have moved to a new one in my new town and it's great, it has a good deal of machines, I think 12...

Pros: friendly atmosphere,cheap,fast and easy workout,lots of fun motivating games,tons of locations
Cons: no daycare, no showers, no cute guys:), no group exercise class

I have been a Curves member for about 10 months. I always hated working out and have never followed through on any program more than 2 months. But I said to myself, I can do anything for 30 seconds. And that is all the time it takes to be successful on a ...

Pros: The workout is fun, only takes 30 minutes, you aren't sore the next day.
Cons: none...well, they are closed for 2 hours in the middle of the day.

Finally something that i enjoy doing. I have been going to curves for a month, and have loved every single minute of it. I cant wait to go everyday! It has made me feel like a new person. I have so much more energy, and i just feel great. since i have ...

Pros: 30 minutes - fast, fun, effective
Cons: None that I can think of! (I know, I'm biased!)

I've read all 148 reviews, and I just wanted to address some of the "cons." Training of staff - Just like at any other business, I suppose the training of the staff relies on the qualifications set up by the owner and the owner's follow thru. Curves ...

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: Quick, Easy to understand, Great workout
Cons: Mine is not open on Saturday, Sunday until 12pm

I love Curves. It's easy to find 30 minutes to get a good workout. The machines work with you. The harder you push them the better workout you get. On top of that I have been to other gyms before and ended up getting contracted for a year. With...

Pros: Fits in working lifestyle, lots of motivation, you get results for your efforts, reasonable cost
Cons: Large variation in quality per franchise location, absolutely no frills (e.g. showers).

I am approaching age 60 and have been active all my life. Over the years, I've experienced almost every exercise program known to mankind - step aerobics franchise classes, floor exercise classes at the local Y, memberships in traditional health clubs, ...

Pros: Quick, cheap, clean and convenient! There's no wait for machines ...
Cons: Some facilities close as early as 7:30pm.

I LOVE CURVES!! I've been a member for almost 2 months now and I am very satisfied with the current results. I'm young (23y/o) and not a person who would be considered overweight, but I'm interested in lowering my body fat. In fact, Curves has already...

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: Simple, effective, fast.
Cons: Its reputation as a club only for certain types of people.

I want to address some of the 'cons' people have mentioned and also give information on the workout itself and pricing. This review is very long, so I hope it's worth wading through! Too easy - if you are not pushing yourself, you will find it too ...
