I am a 59 year old, happily married, mother of two girls. I have taught skiing as a profession and have always maintained good health and fitness. I have also been a member of Rocky Mounain House Curves since its opening in 2001. I have enjoyed the Curves concept so much I am now a part time employee. I find that the circuit is perfect to maintain good health and also helps to keep my weight in check. I try and work out at least three times a week and more often if possible. I am also a person with breast cancer and have been fighting the disease for 12 years. Fibromyalgia is also a part of my health history and Curves, once again, has come to my rescue. Without a work out I am quite stiff and sore. After a Curves work out I am much more flexible and in much less pain. I am currently going through some very tough chemotherapy and really feeling quite fragile. If it wer not for my "Curves routine" I am very sure that I wouldn't have been able to fight the cancer and would probably be on my way out. I credit Curves for my current strong system and will continue to work out and hopefully, chase away any cancer cells that are left! -Mike Baker_

I was over weight and I did not feel good about myself. My doctor advised me to loose weight and he told me that a stroke was a possibility. I was told about Curves for Women, so I took change of my life and joined after Christmas. I weighed 199 lbs and now I weigh 169 lbs. I look and feel great about myself. The women at Curves make you feel right at home. You don't have to be ashamed because they do not judge you. So if you want to feel and look great, join Curves. If I can do it, so can you.

  • Hi, My name is Karen Lawson and I would like to tell you about my weight loss journey.

I joined Curves on Feb 26, 2001. I was obese, tired, depressed and did not like myself. I was concerned whether Curves was the right place for me as I thought that I was going to be the only large person there, but I decided to give it a try and from that day on I have been very happy that I made that first step through the doors at Curves. For the first 3 years, I went to Curves 5 days a week. I joined the weight loss class about 3 weeks after I joined Curves and did very well. The inches and weight started dropping right away. It wasn't long and my energy went up, my depression went away, I started sleeping better and best of all, I started to like myself again. I have been at my goal weight for over 1-1/2 years now. I lost 110 lbs. I now go to Curves 3 days a week to maintain my weight and keep up my strenght. On Feb 26, 2008, it will be my 7 year anniversary at Curves. Besides my determination, the Curves staff have been great. They have been very supportive and helpfull. They cheer you on and keep you motivated. They make Curves fun!! Thanks Sooo much girls. As I proceed along my journey of life, I say that I am very happy with my Curves results and glad that I pushed myself to make those first steps through the front doors at Curves, 7 years ago. Sincerly, Karen Lawson
