Description: Small, franchised fitness centers with hydraulic resistance machines that are arrayed in a circuit where you move from machine to machine on a time interval. There are about ten pieces of equipment in the circuit that target specific body parts. There is a squat machine, an abdominal machine, a leg extension machine, a shoulder press machine, a back machine, a leg press machine, an abductor machine and a biceps machine. The circuit moves you from station to station and is directed by music and taped instruction. You are meant to go at a quick pace to keep your heart rate up. The goal for most women is to workout at 60% of their maximum heart rate, which is determined by taking your pulse regularly on the circuit. Reviews (11):

The Perfect Fitness Center Reviewer: Megan       07-28-2004 There couldn't be a better place for women to go for a workout. I love every station inside the gym. I get a really good workout everytime I go and I usually go 2 or 3 times during a week. Also the price is very reasonable.

Curves is the best Reviewer: Angelique       07-25-2004 I have been to many other clubs such as Ballys, 24 hour, LA Fitness, and Gold's Gym. None compare to Curves. I have been a member for two years now.

My experience Reviewer: Joan       07-22-2004 I really enjoy my daily 30 min. workouts. Moving from one machine to the next is fun. Right now I travel about 6 miles to the nearest Curves, but I hear they are planning to build one closer to my house which would make it even better for me. I recommend Curves!

The greatest idea ever! Reviewer: Carolyn       07-20-2004 whoever thought of this place is a genius! thanks for Curves. I love it. I am slimmer and love to work out now.

This is the only gym in my new city Reviewer: Katie       07-16-2004 Since this is the only gym in my new city (i miss Ballys) I decided to join it. I miss working out with guys. Seeing guys around me used to motivate me but now I have to workout without them. Oh well, its still fun

I enjoy the workouts Reviewer: Cindy       07-12-2004 I really enjoy the way things are run there. I love the fact that I go from one machine to the next. Its very upbeat and everyone is having fun. This is the perfect enviroment for women to be working out in. I recommend this place to all women.

My expectations Reviewer: Donna       07-03-2004 When I first joined Curves i jokenly told the management that I wanted a figure like Britney Spears. It has now been 2 1/2 years since i joined and i can't believe it. I do look like Britney! My buttocks is tighter and firmer. My legs are slimmer. And I now shop for smaller sizes which is the best part.

Curves is AWESOME Reviewer: Samantha       06-27-2004 I love the fact that its only women! There are no guys there to flirt with you and distract you. I just go in, work out, and leave.

fun! very fun! Reviewer: Gloria       06-22-2004 I go 3 times a week with my friends and we enjoy the workouts. I think I have lost 10 pounds since I joined last March. Its very fun and a great way to sweat.

YAY for CURVES Reviewer: Sunshine       04-28-2004 I have been a member for over a year now and I still love it like the first day. The staff there is friendly and the monthly fee is very affordable.

Curves helps me lost weight. Reviewer: Nicole       04-24-2004 Three years ago I was a sad 290 lbs. But since I joined Curves I have lost 40 lbs and I am now down to 250. Not only that but I am getting my curves back. I feel 15 years younger now.
