Curves For Woman

I have been wanting to join a gym for quite some time now and I am just not up to be surrounded by a mix of people. I am looking into Curves and was wondering if anyone else is a member and how do you guys like it? My youngest sister belongs and really likes it. Hoping someone on here can help.

Thanks

I meant Curves for Women but now it won't let me change the title :)

I can't speak on this personally but I have a few friends who have been/or are members and they love the program.

The feedback I have gotten from them is that it's great because they get in, do their 30 minute workout, and get out so it really fits in to their busy schedule, and they have gotten results.

Hi,

My mom goes to Curves. She's been going for a few years now I think....not always consistently though. She does seem to really like it. I went with her once and it was a nice atmosphere (I just sat and read a magazine).

I was a member a while ago. The only thing my mom and I didn't like, was within a couple months (maybe 2) we stopped getting results. It's great for starting out and getting back into workout mode, but if you really want to build muscle, etc. we found it wasn't really possible. The reason being, you can't adjust the weight amount on machines.

I use to go to Curves last fall right after I had my knee surgery. It was really helpful and I enjoyed it. The only down fall is that you can't add any weights so you will get to a point where you may feel like you are not challenging youself anymore, but...if you are starting out I would recommend it. Its a good way to get started on a fitness routine without getting so overwhelmed, wich I do with any exercies program. Honestly, you have nothing to lose. It's a nice way to ease into a work out program. Best of luck to you.

I used to go to curves, it was pretty cool. It helped.. but i got bored after a while. I actually went to two different curves. they both just got boring.

My friend's mom owns a few franchises in Winnipeg. From what I can tell, everyone loves them and they are really caring and well run. Plus, no gross sweaty guys walking around in spandex to oogle you! ;)

From what I understand, Curves is *generally* meant to be a "starting out" workout program for those new to exercise or coming back after some time.

No offense to an older women intended....but the one here is almost like a 60 plus club. And when my friend and I walked in we got the stare down!!!LOL

But after awhile they warmed up to us...offcourse I live ina small town so things are little different here.

We also used it as a starting point after we had our boys!!!! It was perfect low stress time and workout!

I went for a while, but unfortunately got a little bored. The atmosphere is great, but if you already workout, it probably won't be much of a challenge. If you need a low-intensity way to get back in the game, it's definitely a great start.

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
