"I joined Curves four years ago as I wanted to continue being a 'recycled teenager' and also keep fit and healthy. I first came across Curves whilst in Canada, so was happy to find one had opened locally. My Curves has a super friendly, encouraging and helpful atmosphere and since joining I feel alive and full of energy! I have the energy and confidence to continue with my active life, which includes working with the pre-school children in my village. Not only has Curves supported my social life but has also had a positive impact on my health. I suffer with arthritis, but the Curves workout has made my joints more supple and I can walk for miles. I have always tried to eat a healthy and balanced diet and since joining I have lost inches and body fat, which makes me feel great!"
