My Story
How my curves jouney began... I was working 12-hour shifts as a nurse, and feeling extremely tired becuase I was in the early stage of menopause. I had gained alot of weight and menopause caused me to perspire profusely. I was a mess. I went from being the energetic, lively gandmother of 2 teenage boys to a tired, sweaty 'old' lady. I had to do something!. My doctor assured me that regular exercise, drinking lots of water and eating healthy would help to eleviate many of the symptoms of menopause, so I was on a mission to find a gym.
After 41 years as a nurse, I retired. I had heard about Curves and made the call to find a location near my house. Curves has been a god-send. I met with a gym instructor, set weight loss goals and started working out 5 days a week including Saturdays. I was there when the gym opened each morning. I met my goals and have successfully maintained my weight loss for the past 5 years. I have regained my strengh and energy and my menopause symptoms have subsided. I continue to eat right, drink lots of water and I feel absolutely wonderful.

I attribute my success to the support system that Curves provides. I have made friends that I look forward to seeing everyday and when I am not able to go to the gym, I miss it. Curves is definately the place to be if you want to stay healthy and maintain the curves you want and staighten out the ones you don't.

Exercising is fun and it gives you power. I have more energy now at 67 years old than I know what to do with. I am in good health and feel great physically. I recently finished my 600th workout and I look forward my 700th. When I started working out at Curves, I was not able to walk the Sand Dunes in San Dimas with my very athletic 30 year old son. I was able to walk with him a few weeks ago and he was so proud.

The commardere among the ladies at curves is amazing. I constantly laugh and smile while at the gym, so my workouts are good excerise for my face too. When people ask me how I manage to look so good for my age, I tell them its because of Curves.
