Curves

Watch out who you give your credit card information to especially when they can keep charging your card. I am moving and I told Kathy’s (owner) staff in mid July about it so I could find out what I need to do about my account with curves. I was told that I could cancel if you are moving more than 50 miles away. One of the staff even gave me a list of curves in my new area. Then in August I was told you have to put everything on writing. So I put it in writing. I also stopped going to the club in early July. BUT ON THE 25TH OF AUGUST THEY CHARGED MY CREDIT CARD. WOW! I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I asked for a refund and received nothing. Hey if you join this Curves you might want to pay monthly so you have control who gets your hard earned money. By the way I am moving 600 miles away. I wish she was more concerned about her clients. Now I see why my neighbor DID NOT JOIN after meeting with them.
Kathy you know you should have returned the money.

I went to curves back in 2009, and stopped when life got hectic (which I really regret). I signed back up almost a year ago, and really love it. It is a quick workout (30 minutes including stretching), and it really does hit the various muscle groups. I also love the people I’ve met, there are some pretty awesome women there. It is conveniently located, and really, a 30 minute workout? Heck yea!
They also offer the whole Curves deal, which has their eating plan which is pretty straightforward, and a weekly meeting with one of their staff. The plan also has these motivational/​informational videos that you watch, and they really are informative and I genuinely liked them. Some have religious undertones, though, in fact I’m pretty sure one talks about faith and prayer. I skipped that one, as I’m not religious at all, and am not going to the gym to learn about religion! The staff is great, there is always someone their to make sure you’re doing the machines right, etc.
The only reason they aren’t getting 5 stars is because of the one gripe I have, which is the hours. They open at 5:30 MWF, which is great, but on T Th they don’t open until 8, and from 8 – 9 they are doing Zumba, so you can’t get a normal workout in until 9. They also close from 12:30−4 everyday, so if you have to work before or at 9 am, you can’t go on your lunch either if your lunch is at 1! Then, they close at 7 M-​Th, and 6:30 Friday, so if you’re a mom (like I imagine a lot of these women are) it’s really hard to get to the gym in the evenings, because you have to pick up kids, cook dinner, etc., so often you do have to workout after 7! This makes T and Th workouts pretty difficult. They’re open from 7 – 10:30 on Saturday, but not on Sunday. When I first joined I was unemployed, so it wasn’t a problem. When I started working, though, it did become really difficult for me to get my workout in. I have, thankfully, changed jobs, so I am making it work now, but it isn’t without some juggling.
Overall, great place to work out, convenient location, and only takes 30 minutes of my time. It actually gets me working out, which is great too.

I went here years ago and it was a fun quick place to grab a workout. I just called to get the info about signing up again and was told I COULD NOT sign up unless I came in and did a fitness assessment and had to get on a scale etc. etc. Not cool! Not everyone wants/​needs to get on a scale and spend an hour getting hard sold on a place. I just wanted a place to grab a quick workout not have a personal trainer and a meal planner. Way to ruin a good thing Curves but trying to micro manage customers and force them to do something.
