Curves or Gym

Postby katieb920 » April 21st, 2008, 10:15 am

So here is my question?

I am looking to start with some weights Just to tone up a little bit. I am not going to do a lot but I would like to see my arms and legs tighten up.

Do you think I would be able to get this with Curves Or should i join the gym. Benefit of joining curves that it is right down the street. Benefit for joining the Gym is I might want to do more. And then they have personal trainers. Negative about the gym it is 10 minutes away.

Do you think I could get toned muscles with Curves

I would love your feed back :D

I've never done Curves, and I gather it can be somewhat limited, but I'd go with whichever you think you'll actually DO, at least for now. Maybe get the shortest contract you can, so once you're in the habit and want to bump up your workouts, you can switch to the gym.

A lot of gyms also offer day passes, according to an article I read. They said that's the way to go for most people, because it's cheaper than paying by month if you don't go very often.

just a personal opinion here...i have been to curves (had a free month) and although i thought it was SOME form of exercise, i didn't think it was challenging enough. The gym allows you the choice of testing your limits OR taking it easy. Curves just gives you an easy workout to keep you moving a little. I would definitely recommend the gym...more options.
