My Story
The reason why I feel that I am an amazing curve woman is because all of the things that I have went through in the last 3years. I had my 4th & 5th surgical operation in August 2005; it was on my right knee & left hand. I have carpal tunnel in both hands & osteoarthritis in both knees. So you can imagine how difficult it is to get any exercise, and I also had a weight problems at the time.

This is where Curves came into the picture, I saw the commercial for curves & I was impressed for two reasons, mainly because I'm not able to go to a "traditional" gym and also because it's a gym for just women. That made me very comfortable because it's other women going through the same problems trying to lose weight, so I felt that I could relate better with the staff as well as the others members.

So I ended up making the call, and spoke with a lady names Noemi. She was very respectable and professional as we spoke on the phone. I was impressed with her ability to make me feel comfortable at the end of the conversation she was ready schedule an appointment for me right then & there but, I explained to her that I just had 2 surgery and that I was not ready to make the appointment until after the winter.

It was April, my phone rang & it was Noemi ready to make my appointment. I went to the doctor to clear it with him first and he gave the ok for me to go to Curves. The appointment was set for April 10. 2006. I had already joined Weight Watchers the week prior to my appointment with Noemi I went in and sign my contact that same day & I have been a member ever since. Where would I be today if I had not joined curves? That is something that I will not allow myself to think about. My life has changed so much with curves and the support that I have received from the other members as well as from Noemi which is my trainer & Jackie the owner.

My experience at curves has had its ups & down but if I had the chance to do it over, I wouldn't change a thing. There was time when I was disappointed with myself because I was unable to do the things that I used to do, but that is where Noemi came into the picture, she was always there to lift me up. When I started I was wearing a size 3X in top, I now wear a L. I was wearing a 22/24 in skirt, I now wear a 14. I was a 2X in certain pants; I can now wear a Medium. These are some of the reasons why I wouldn't no wrong word, that's why I couldn't live without my curves. I will forever be a lifetime member of curves. Another reason is that it has helped to improve my health so much. When I joined curves I was on 5 medications & now I am on 1 with the hope of getting off of that one soon. I still have 2 surgeries coming up but; my overall health has improved so much that I will be ready for the operations & hopefully a speedy recovery. That is why I am an Amazing Curves Member.
