My Story
I joined Curves in January of 2004. I am a very active 68 years old and when I retired from my job; I wanted to stay active and healthy. I tried one of the local fitness centers for a year and did not feel that this program was what I needed. Several months after joining Curves I had become a member of the one foot club and the program was working for me. I needed to lose inches and body fat and had reached my goal in less than a year. (A loss of 16.75 inches & 8 pounds) I continue to work at maintaining those original goals and gain other benefits as well. The Curves program has helped me keep my cholesterol in check without having to take medication. My doctor encourages me to stay with the program which also benefits my bones and helps me to stay more flexible. I am a twelve year breast cancer survivor and I know the importance of exercise and a healthy diet. I feel that Curves provides the programs that I need to stay healthy and fit. I find that I am energized after my workouts and that the Curves program keeps my body in shape to do all the fun activities I enjoy .

I still enjoy cross country skiing in the winter and can travel out west to the mountains and begin skiing where I left off the previous year without any extra training. I also enjoy bicycling and hiking. Riding my bike 20 to 25 miles at a time is still comfortable for me. Since retirement and joining Curves, I have traveled to New Zealand on a three week hiking tour. I went to the San Juan Islands on a bicycle tour, and just recently returned from a trip to Patagonia in South America where I did some hiking in the mountains. I also enjoy walking and try to walk on the days I dont workout. My Curves workout is the main training I do to prepare for these activities and it works!

The Curves staff are so helpful and encouraging. They treat you like they really care.and they do!
