Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / July 2004Curves
There's a Curves opening in July near me! I don't know how they'll do. For example, they are one small parking lot away from the city fitness center where I can get probably a cheaper membership -- if it costs me anything. For another, this town was built with large blocks to encourage people to walk. I regularly walk to get groceries with my personal two-wheeled cart. For an even better example, I discovered the Curves while walking to the post office to mail bill payments. Oh well, we'll see. > There's a Curves opening in July near me! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > discovered the Curves while walking to the post office to mail bill > payments. Oh well, we'll see. Curves normally caters to women who dislike or are too self-conscious to work out at a typical fitness facility. > > There's a Curves opening in July near me! > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Curves normally caters to women who dislike or are too self-conscious to > work out at a typical fitness facility. It's a good thing it's a small place then (it used to be a bank) because there's not enough parking for a lot of women to get there without getting out in public. Like I said, the parking lot is small and they have to share it with a shopping center, the City offices, and the city fitness center. >> There's a Curves opening in July near me! >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >Curves normally caters to women who dislike or are too self-conscious to >work out at a typical fitness facility. So? If having a *safe* place to work out, gets people to work out, what's wrong with that? Most beginning divers don't go off the high platform either.

AAMF, I was a member for 2 years before moving on to a full service gym. I was only trying to point out that there is definitely a market for the facility in spite of other options available in the area. Sorry if my statement offended you. >> >> There's a Curves opening in July near me! >> >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > >Sorry if my statement offended you. OK, I hear you! It's just that my sister-in-law started with Curves and really made great progress. And she's *really* obese. But it got her started. I think her local Curves closed, and she's at a regular gym now. So yes, you are right, there is indeed a market. Cynthia > >> There's a Curves opening in July near me! > >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > So?

Oh well, we'll see. Let us know how you like it. I decided to look for an actual gym (when I can afford it), because I can see getting bored at Curves; it's just the same routine every time, even though the time spent on each machine is short...

Really? News to me. I wasn't going to sign up because I understand the workouts are half an hour long -- correct me if I'm wrong -- and I'm shooting for full hours. It's a comfortable length for me, I always feel well stretched at the end, and it's the new Surgeon General recommendation.

News to me. I wasn't going to sign up because I understand the > workouts are half an hour long -- correct me if I'm wrong -- IIRC (it's been a while since I checked out our local Curves), you're right, it's half an hour -- use one machine, move to a platform where you jog in place, move to another machine, etc. I'd get bored with that pretty quickly. That's not to say that I'm putting down Curves -- I'm all for any healthy exercise program that gets people moving. I just don't think it's for me. > and I'm > shooting for full hours.

I don't belong to a gym, yet, but I'm with you in that 1/2 an hour seems too short. I usually walk for 35-40 minute stretches, and I'm still pretty heavy -- I hope to be able to do a lot more as I get thinner... SignatureJ.J. in WA * 275/231.5/1?? (COLD to HOT for e-mail) : Really? News to me. I wasn't going to sign up because I understand the : workouts are half an hour long -- correct me if I'm wrong -- no, it takes about thirty minutes to complete the circle circuit. http://www.curvesinternational.com/ i tried it out a couple years ago, i found it TOO LOUD, and BORING! then i found out about its RELIGIOUS RIGHT connection and was glad that i didn't go back! |
