Curves – Amaze Yourself!
Since Curves first arrived in the UK just seven years ago, women across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have taken the ladies fitness club to heart. There are now just under 250 clubs in the UK, with more opening every year.
Why do women love Curves? The Curves way is simple - the program is designed specifically for women, there's an unspoken creed of "no men, no mirrors and no make-up!", and with a tailored work-out that works every major muscle group in just 30 minutes and combines cardio and strength training for optimum results, it's hard to find a good excuse not to fit it in! And the icing on the cake is that the fun 30 minute workout only has to be performed just three times a week to see amazing results, AND in only one 30 minute session you can burn up to 500 calories!
Cecile Biais is a Berkshire based French native. By the time she reached what many women consider to be their peak, her late 20s, she was a size 22 - 24 and was shopping in outsize clothing stores. She desperately wanted to lose weight, but did not know how. But following her 30th birthday, she decided to mark the milestone by making a promise to herself - "I will do everything I can to lose weight and to be healthy and happy". A friend mentioned Curves to Cecile and within two days she had joined up. Christmas 2007 marked her first month as a Curves member.
Just one year later, the previously size 22 - 24 Cecile had transformed herself into an unrecognizable svelte size 10, and in the process lost an amazing 5 stones and 66 inches! She says that it was a tough year and "without Curves I would not have done it". Asides from the massive weight loss and huge improvement in her fitness levels, Cecile says that overall she now feels a lot more positive about her life, and more confident and ‘balanced'. Her health has also greatly improved, and the positive changes in her attitude and lifestyle have brought her even closer to her family.
Cecile credits Curves as being the ideal place for women to get fit and lose weight as; "You can go at your own pace and then progressively push yourself...[the staff] are friendly, patient, motivating and fun... Curves is a brilliant concept!"
Curves is renowned worldwide as a hub for innovation (30 minute fitness for women originated with Curves!) and their new offering, CurvesSmart continues this trend.
CurvesSmart is the first ever Electronic Personal Trainer and regulates each and every workout for a precise personal best. The 30-minute Curves workout circuit features hydraulic resistance machines for upper and lower body that safely work two sets of muscle groups simultaneously. The CurvesSmart electronic system, programmed for each individual user, works with each machine on the circuit to continuously let women know if they're meeting their precise targets for heart rate, intensity, range of motion, and repetition for that piece of equipment. This interactivity pushes women in a way they're never experienced before, and is bound to stimulate even the most lethargic among us!
