Curves Gym

[JennaFitz]

I am thinking of joining a Curves gym, they are quite common and I was wondering has anyone heard if they are worth the membership fee of not?

Are you American because I've never heard of them (I'm in the UK)

[zgma]

Yes, they are an American chain.

 

I haven't heard anything about the quality of the gyms themselves, but I have read a bit of news that would keep me from joining:  the owner of the brand, who started Curves, has given tens of thousands of dollars to militant, violent anti-abortion groups like Operation Rescue.

'Tis true. Even Snopes says so: http://www.snopes.com/business/alliance/curves.asp

Hey I joined Curves. I can say that it is got to be the wimpiest workout I have ever seen. You'll get your heart rate increased but so what. I just pasted a thread on weight training technology or physiology. I suggest free weights and maybe check out my replies. Frankly curves isn't worth it unless your so overweight that getting off the couch is an undertaking then I suggest even Curves can help. Good luck.
