The owner/ manager of our local Curves says that there is a lot of leeway in what the individual franchise older can contribute to. She organizes a food drive about once a year, collecting about a dozen wash-tub sized bins of non-perishable items for a local food bank. We have donated prom gowns to an area dry cleaner where they are cleaned and sent to their regional center to be distributed to teens who cannot afford to buy a prom dress. Our Curves has also sponsored numerous walkers for Heart Disease and Cancer.

I joined Curves and really liked it for about 1 month. Then it became just too boring. It became very monotonous to jump on then off those machines every minute. The hours of operation were too short for my night job and sleep schedule. Unfortunately they make you sign a year contract, so I paid for a lot of months I didn't use. FRUSTRATING!!!

Same with me!! I had to sign a year contract, went for like the first 4 months, and then got tired of it.

And I feel so bad because they keep taking money out each month, and I never go, what a waste!

I really should try to go back.

There are more places popping up, have you noticed? Other strip mall-type exercise places. The names escape me now...but they advertise being open for 24 hours. Unfortunately, I think they let men in....

I don't think I could stand doing Curves again...

Gosh, maybe us nurses should start our own strip mall exercise clubs and we would do it RIGHT!!
