    Oh good a Curves forum! I usually check out the PCOS forum since I have that problem but am just finishing up my free week at Curves and saw this and of course had to read every thread there was. I think I have actually found something I will be able to stick with and enjoy in Curves. I have heel spurs bad and I didnt have any problems doing their workout and it was actually fun!
    I am trying to decide to either go month to month or go ahead and sign up for the year. If I do the year contract it will only be $22.50 a month which sounds like the better deal to me.
    Keep posting because ya'll have really motivated me!
  • Yeah Bev
    Yeah BEV!

    And I agree with Lynda (HI LYNDA ) I wouldn't worry over the size goal thing... I use to wear a 12 and went by that, but told her my goal was a size 14/16 right now. I would be thrilled to be in a 14 again!!!

    Sounds like you will get the individual attention you deserve when you go back on WEDNESDAY...

    Thanks for coming back and letting us know how it went.
  • Welcome!
    Welcome Rosiee!!! You got a great price at $22.50 a month!
    I pay $29.00 + tax monthly and signed for the year. W/O the contract it's $39.00 monthly + tax. Feel like it would keep me motivated to sign the year.

    Up to you... luck!
  • my price per month was 29.00 and there was no taxes added. i think on monday I will tell her to change my goal to a size 10 ( a girl can dream can't she). I know I would like to weigh 145 but I am not sure what size that is.

  • Hi, Rosiee! Jump right in, the more the merrier!

    My owner's sister just got back from two weeks training at the Curves headquarters in Texas. She really learned a lot about the physiology of diet and nutrition. She says the mother of the founder of Curves died of obesity when he was a child or young teen. So he has dedicated his life to helping women find healthy ways to keep fit. Lucky for us!!

  • Thanks for the welcome SunnyD! The $22.50 is if I pay it all at once which I thought would also make me keep going since having to pay for something ahead of time *should* be a motivator, which when it comes to exercise isnt always the case, but I think with the program being so much fun and having these post to read will help alot!
  • Punkin 1...I heard some of the instructors at Curves saying they had gone through the training also and that they worked them hard there. I got the impression that there are different levels of training but I could be wrong..u know how it is when u listen to someone elses conversation (shame on me) hehe
  • Rosiee... They never offered a 'pay-in-full all at once'. I would have done that... well, now that's a bummer

    That's okay, cuz I went this morning and just loved it! I worked for Jazzercise as a Registrar for 15 years (and now have very tender joints from it!) and just going to workout and not have to do anything but take care of "me" is GREAT!!! I have the best time chatting with the ladies while I work out

    Great Info, Lynda... gonna tell them on Wednesday when I go.
  • SunnyD..I go in the mornings and sometimes I am the only one there except for the instructor so I dont see many ppl to chat with but that is ok cuz I am in and out fast. I tried to get my friend to go but she wouldnt. Wait till I lose weight and she doesnt, then she will be wanting to go. It took alot for me to walk into Curves all by myself cuz I am pretty shy and of course self consious about my weight but u get to the point where u have to do it yourself or it will never get done. So needless to say I a excited about Curves and excited I took that first step on my own.
  • I prepayed this morning and I received a 10% discount which brought my monthly payment $26.10 so paying 22.50 is a deal.

    SunnyD- I had to ask them about prepaying for the year, they didn't offer it.

  • Me too. Went by myself. I don't have any family here in Ohio and all my firends have jobs now, so it was one of the reasons for me joining... I missed being around people. When I go in the morning the owner is suppose to open at 9:00, but I got there at ten of this morning and there were 10 gals already there and working out! Sue, the owner, didn't even have a moment's time to put away the vaccum cleaner!

    We all would like to see the place open at 8:00 --- we'll see.
  • Does anyone here have a problem getting in all the water recommended? I still do after all this time. I don't drink much in the morning, but after lunch till around 7ish I try to get it in. When I do - I feel better, but it's just not easy for me. My hubby on the other hand drinks it and then some without a problem!

    Thanx Bev --- Oh well...
  • Bev..well she quoted me $22.50 so I hope she was right. Since I am still on my free week I will join wednesday so guess I will see for sure then.
  • Our water is so bad here that we can only drink bottled water and if I run out of it then i dont drink any at all which i know is bad. I hate water anyway but if i can keep it real real cold then i can drink what i need to.
  • Hey everyone

    Sunny, I'm a big water drinker, but it did take a while to build up to it. I remember how I used to end up running to the bathroom every half hour at first! I know what you mean about feeling better when you do get it all in. I can really tell when I don't.

    Rosiee, bottled water gets really expensive, doesn't it. I keep one of the Brita Fill & Go's at my work, and that helps a lot.

    I was at Curves bright and early this morning. I was soooo tired when I walked in, but it always lifts my spirits and gets me ready to face the day. I'm thinking about dropping in tomorrow, but we'll have to see what the work schedule looks like.
