My Story
CURVES IS GREAT
October 2007 I decided to check out Curves North End in St. Catharines. The Manager walked me through the machines and after talking to my doctor I wanted to try and make it work. That was almost two years ago and today I am a different person; my Husband had thought there was a wheelchair in my future, but not anymore.
With a lot of Determination and encouragement I am much stronger and healthier. I still have my physical issues but I feel like I can do anything.
Our nine o'clock group are there three times a week and what a time we have, some times singing and dancing as we work out.
We started Recovery Board exercising in Feb. 2008 along with working on the machines; with much laughter and practice we now think that we are the Rockets thanks to our fearless leader Melissa. When Melissa is unable to attend I lead the classes which is something I would not have been able to do two years ago.
Curves provides friendship, encouragement, social outings but most of all it makes us all stronger, more flexible and Curvier. There are days when I don't feel like going but I would miss all my friends.
I don't have a car, so Peggy gives me a ride. If she is not able to go I can call on some of the other ladies to take me, I am very fortunate.
All of the ladies that I have met are the Best, they are friendly, helpful and you all make me laugh so very much.
Thanks to Curves, I have gotten my Independence back and I will continue to go until I am physically unable.
Thanks to Everyone,
Virginia Sewell
