My Story
Before Curves, I enjoyed running my dogs in agility and couldnt train in the winter because we did not have an indoor training facility. By the next spring I could not keep up with my dog.
I found an ad for the Curves in my hometown of Fort Dodge, Iowa and decided to check it out. That was on July 24, 2002.
In my very first month I lost 9 inches, I felt a lot better, so I decided I would keep going. The next spring, my dog couldnt keep up with me. We all teased that she (the dog) needed to join Curves too.
I made Curves a part of my daily life. I work out 5 times a week. If I cant make it, I feel run down and sluggish. Even when I travel I take a travel pass and visit the nearest Curves. I have met many wonderful women since traveling to the Curves across America.
In 2005 I remarried which meant moving from the place I had lived my whole life. It was a very scary step for me, and the one thing that helped me get through it was Curves. When I went to the Curves in Marion, Iowa, I was welcomed and made to feel like I belonged. Through Curves I have met and made so many new friends in my new town.
These ladies all sincerely care about you and what you are doing.
I completed the 6 Week Weight Loss Solution and found my husband and I could continue to follow this program beyond the class time. I have lost a total of 80 pounds, 66 inches (which is 3 more inches around than I am tall, LOL) and went from a size 22 to a 12.
I go to Curves for ME because I AM WORTH IT!!!
I stay because I belong and love it.
