I joined Curves with the theory that I would exercise when I was paying money for the privilege of doing so. Curves has satisfied that need for me. Several of the reviews I have been reading mention the inexperience of the staff in the Curves. This is ...

I have been a member of fitness clubs for years, but what happens to me is that I overwork myself... I lift more than I should work longer than I should and run my heart rate way too fast. The result of all this is burn-out. Do I stick with it? NO. What ...

Cons: A little too much talking, could offer an advanced program.
