My Story
I first noticed and heard about Curves by going to my pharmacy which is next door. I saw these women's pictures in the window and viewed the changes in them. This is what I wanted for myself. So I joined! I am so thankful. In April of this year, I had my yearly check up with my cardiologist. The nurse did the pre test of EkG, blood pressure etc, getting everything ready for when the doctor comes in he can go through everything and get you out. This time he came in checked my heart then sat down and looked at my 14 hour fasting blood work. He said, everything looked so good, what had I been doing? I have a history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and tricycerides plus being over weight. He was very pleased with the results from my blood work. Also he looked at me and said "What have you been doing, you look great!" And he was pleased with my weight loss. I told him I amgoing to Curves. He then said he recommends Curves to a lot of his patients that are over weight and in active, but he didn't know that much about Curves. Usually by this time, I am out the door on my way home, But he got comfortable and wanted to know all about Curves.I told him this is a total body work out, working every muscle group for 30 minutes. He asked more questions about the different machines, and of course I obliged willingly. I have lost 3 sizes, 4 sizes on the top, lost inches and 32 pounds. This is the first time I spent that much time with him since I had my first heart attack back in 1992. I have had 2 heart attacks, 3 angioplasties at the Cleveland Clinic and 1 stint put in at our local hospital. He said now that he is this informed he will push ,I should say remmend highly Curves even more. He was quite pleased with what I told him and he certainly was pleased with the way I am looking and feeling, my weight loss, and the good blood work. Of course everyone sees the weight I loss, the difference in my outlook, and my appearance. I may be 72 years of age, but with all these changes I could pass for 62, all because of Curves!! Of course when my friends ask me, I tell them I go to Curves for 30 minutes 3 times a week, it is the most fantastic exercise program I have ever been on. I recommend Curves to everyone! I have had two friends join because of me and two more friends from church that joined because of the amazing changes in me. I also have to thank my Heavenly Father for His support in all of this plus Curves
