| Re: Curves - The Gym
I was a member two years back, and my sister-in-law is now a member.
It's not intense. It's very laid back, gets your heart pumping, with very light/mild strength training. The ones in my neck of the woods are very strict about no men. It's not like a regular gym where sometimes you get the feeling that it's a pickup joint. The ladies who attended mine were all in their 40's through 60's and just wanted to lose weight, not really tone up and build a lot of muscle. They were extremely pleasant...no intimidation factor whatsoever.
My only complaint was my Curves was adamant about automatically deducting my membership fee monthly from my checking account. I don't subscribe to having any fees taken out of my checking account automatically. I offered and they agreed to my paying the entire year's membership fee in advance at the time I signed up. Well, the franchise owner here took my check for the entire year, and then she still deducted the monthly fee for the first couple months. It was a giant headache to get my couple months' worth of fees refunded. Things got a little nasty, words were said by both of us, and it just became a little awkward to go back. Plus, the lady franchise owner here was the sister of one of the judges I work with regularly, so then I really felt I should just cut my ties with Curves.
If it weren't for that, I'd probably still be a member.
Good luck!

Rip off report.com has a lot of complaints about this company from all over. I was going to join them and looked em up decided not to. Found another way to exercise without costing a dime...drop kids off at school and then joined a walking group. Can't walk now because of the cold weather, but I will get back to it. Also go to complaints.com. Its sad that we have to check up on companies like that, but its buyer beware and we are lucky to have this medium to protect our dollors. Ya know?
