To find out if Curves is right for you, ask yourself these questions:

Can I spend 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, to improve my quality of life?
30 minutes is all it takes.  No specific class times to worry about, just drop in at anytime during opening hours, as often as you like.

Would I rather exercise in an environment designed especially for women?
The fitness machines were created to fit a women's body and offers you a mix of cardio and strength-training exercises, whilst under the constant supervision of a trained female fitness coach.

Would encouragement from other women help me reach my fitness goals?
At Curves you can enjoy reaching your fitness goals together with other like-minded women, and receive a monthly printed report on your progress towards your goals. 

Have I tried or considered other fitness clubs and just never found one that felt right for me?
Perhaps you have tried traditional based gyms or exercises. Curves is neither. No difficult dance routines to master or weight-machines to wrestle with. You will find a lady friendly environment with no men, no mirrors and no make-up! 

Have I ever wished for a fitness program that was "do-able" and fun?
Many of our members have such a good time whilst doing their exercises, that their workout is over before they even realise it.

Have I ever been a yo-yo dieter and suffered because of it?
The Curves weight management programme can raise you metabolic rate to 2000/2500 calories a day. This provides permanent results without permanent dieting.

How is Curves different to other gyms?
It is solely for women. Members get lots of support from the staff and are regularly monitored. The workout achieves results that can be sustained by exercising for just 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week.

Is there an age limit at Curves?
Definitely not. Some mothers bring their teenage daughters and some daughters come with their mothers who are in the 80's.

Do you need to be fit before you join Curves?
No. Many of their members have never been in a gym before. The workout is designed so that people can exercise to their own optimum level. Also women with diabetes, arthritis and osteoporosis can really benefit from it.

Do you have to workout at set class times?
No. There are no set class times you come and go as you like so you can fit your workout into your lifestyle.

Do new members find Curves daunting the first time?
No, not at all. Curves is welcoming. As soon as you walk in they make you to feel right at home. It’s fun too. In fact, members say that the 30 minutes fly by because they’re having such a good time - partly because there’s No Men, No Mirrors and No Makeup.

In a nutshell, what does Curves do for the average member?
They reduce dress sizes, help you lose weight, firm and tone your body and generally make you feel good about yourself both physically and mentally – which is a good thing.
