“Curves has saved me from a life in a wheelchair.”  Ivy, 74, Mona Vale

Curves has enabled me to become more active and enjoy life again. I have rheumatica for which I take steroids. I have this complaint for over 20 years. It is quite painful and restricts movement. 

Since coming to Curves my mobility has improved 100%.  Curves has strengthened my muscles and has saved me from looking forward to a life in an armchair or even a wheelchair.  I can come and go as I like. 

I try to attend Curves at least 4 times a week and after each session I feel alive and move so much easier.  I even have a spring in my step.  It has also allowed me to continue my favourite pastime which is dancing.  Thank you Curves!

Being only 30 minutes I know I can do this even it has been a busy day.  I have noticed a big difference in my body shape.  I know with the encouragement from the girls at Curves I will improve my results as time goes on.  The staff are so friendly and encouraging and the equipment is easy to use.  The girls are so motivated in helping keep me on track, especially when I have had a bad month.

I did not need to lose weight but improve my ‘staying power’.  Without a doubt my sleeping patterns have improved and I would put this down to my regular visits to Curves on my way home from work.  Even after a heavy work day I leave Curves feeling revitalized and at the same time relaxed.  The staff are consistently friendly, helpful and encouraging in a non-confrontational way. This makes it easier to pop in for just half an hour on my home.

I first came to Curves because I was feeling desperate about losing weight and I had a low fitness level.

I had a heavy work program as I owned my own business and I needed more energy to keep up with the workload and the long hours.

Curves was recommended to me by a few friends and I thought I have nothing to lose except some weight so I joined my Local Curves at Mona Vale.

The program suited my schedule, as it was only 30 minutes and I knew I could spare this time three times a week to focus on ME.

I achieved some fantastic results at Curves. With a total loss of 16kg and 70cm in 15months, I feel great! It was not only the workout that helped me achieve my results, but the great nutrition advice that I was given as well.

I was so inspired by my results that I applied for a position at Curves Mona Vale, and am now a staff member. I can really relate to the members there as I was in their shoes once and it is really rewarding to inspire them with my results and help them achieve theirs. Overall I am a much healthier, happier, confident woman!

I really enjoy it.  I set some goals of my own and I can go when it is convenient to me in a central location, at a cost I can afford.  I feel GREAT!  I was motivated to join because of the flexibility and cost of training.  It is a joyful experience.
“ Their encouragement is second to none.”  Tricia, 37, Mona Vale

I feel more disciplined, not only in making the commitment to exercise, but it has helped me to change my eating habits as well .  It  helps give me energy that lasts through my days at work. For years I stayed at the same weight and never exercised. I hit 30 and started to put on weight and ignored it.  Friends and family encouraged me to join Curves. 

I felt motivated from the start, feeling extremely welcomed with genuine warmth and encouragement from the ladies.  I haven’t looked back since and am so proud and excited with my achievement so far.  I recommend Curves to anyone, especially nervous first timers.
“I love CURVES”  Cathy, Mona Vale

Curves is so friendly and down to earth. It is a pleasure to be there.  You don’t feel like you are on show or have to be a fashionplate or super fit.  I love the flexibility and the ½ hour workout routine.  It is much easier to allocate 3 visits per week than an hour commitment.  I love the combination of the machines.  I love the background music.  I love the friendly faces and advice.  I love the affordability.  I already feel I have more energy.

It was a black day for me when I was diagnosed with type 2  diabetes. I felt it was so undeserved as I had always eaten a good whole food diet but probably with too many tasty additions  and over the years the kilos had quietly piled on . As for exercise, surely tennis twice a week and some heavy duty gardening was enough, but the weight was simply not shifting.

Luckily a friend told me that she had just joined Curves and was getting really good results there.

In spite of having a long time loathing of gyms with their boom boom music and frantic sweaty activity, I joined. After all it was literally a matter of life or some very nasty outcomes .

What a surprise  I actually enjoyed it!   What a blessing!! It was so different from the gym I had imagined and  with the exercise and a low GI diet the weight started to disappear so easily. After only the first month's weigh and measure I was elated. I was slimmer and I was stronger and not only that. the cravings had disappeared too.

  As a bonus , looking in the mirror was no longer a misery, I was seeing a younger me reappearing, and it was all so easy and pleasant. What can be achieved in thirty minutes plus a good stretch has been an absolute miracle for me.

  I love it that we are all women there together. The staff are wonderful They have been so supportive of me through  my recent hip operation. I blessed them daily as I had the strength to easily cope with all the hospital apparatus and physio, and by all accounts I had an extra speedy recovery.
 
The allowable medical break was a financial help too but I was really glad to get back to the circuit and continue on the road to health. Curves may very well have saved my life!
