Curves membership for young women?

Question

Hi all. I just had heart surgery about 6 weeks ago to correct a birth defect and, with the green light from my doctor, am just about ready to start getting into shape. My condition caused me to be so tired from exercising that I never really did get myself into shape, and now as I recover, I am told I need to be more active. I am only 20 and at 135 pounds, slightly overweight for my height. My question is, how do younger women find the curves experience? Would it be a good place to start?

Answer 1

I've been a member of Curves for over a year and I love it. Its not like other gyms where it just feels like a meat market, you feel very comfortable working out there. The machines are great too. I would very much recommend joining, even if its just to get started getting back into shape and you can always join another place once you've gotten into shape.

Answer 2

Hi, I am 22 and I have been to curves. I was 19 or so when I joined and I loved it!! I felt intimidated to go to a regular gym, because you had all the professionals there, but curves was a great experience. I would love to start back again if it wasn't for being a mother of 2, lol. I think you should go for it!! Hope my answer helped your decision.

Answer 3

Hi! I joined Curves in October. I love it. Nice thing is you can go at your own pace. So it would probably be good for you in your situation. The women I have met there are great you'll mkae friends too. Good luck to ya!

Answer 4

I used to work at a Curves and the women who went there loved it. The workout is very easy to keep track of, and they can take your measurements and weight every few weeks so you can keep track of your weight loss. It's also set up to be very social, so the time goes by fast and you're not bored the whole time.

Answer 5

I don't go to Curves, but I do go to a women's gym and it is so much more comfortable. I think if my women's gym closed, I would go join Curves though! Great idea!
