Anyone go to curves

I am looking to join a gym but to be very honest, at this stage of my life (mom to 2 and 50 pounds to lose) I am very intimidated by Gold's or Bally type places.

Anyone ever try Curves? If so what are your thoughts?

Thanks

Re: Anyone go to curves

I LOVE Curves. Like anything else, it doens't work if you don't go..and I am constantly finding excuses not to go, but once I am in the groove I just love it.

it's a very friendly atmosphere, very encouraging..you won't find the buffed up babes shwing off like you'll find at Bally's. there are so many different women, from 14 y/o girls, to 70 year old grandma's. From people who are fit and building muscle to people who are trying to lose over 100lbs. I really think it's a great place especially if you are intimidated by other gyms. it's not at all intimidating.

What I really like about is that once I walk through the door I am just going with the flow. I know exactly what I'm doing. I don't have to go through wrestling with myself on the treadmill "just one more mile", and making success and failure dpendent on willpower. With Curves, I go in, and I do my workout. I don't have to think about anything, I don't have to worry about success or failure. I just start going along to the music and I know I will make it through my workout, and as I get fitter, I push harder making it more intense, or if I don't want to, I don't have to.

I completely recommend Curves. I love it
