Busy circuit this morning, the ladies are smashing their goals 💪💪💪

Here is Hanna's story ........
My Curves story starts 7 years ago while I was on holiday with my then husband and 2 young children. And I can remember the moment I decided to try Curves. I was sat out in the sunshine and felt horrible - overweight and lethargic and quite honestly just embarrassed of myself and couldn’t help feeling I must have been embarrassing my boys too. The decision was made there and then having heard another lady say she went to Curves and enjoyed it... and I decided surely I would manage it. I waited until the boys returned to school in August and feeling ridiculously nervous ventured through the door to be met by Jane - all smiles and can do/no problem attitude. Phew, so far so good - I actually went and purchased gym clothes! From my first workout I have loved Curves, its members and fantastic coaches. I don’t think I have ever been and not spoken to anyone or had a laugh and made some wonderful friends. My life has changed in so many ways since then - having lost 4½ stone, knowing I have reduced the risk of diabetes which runs in my family, but most of all my confidence has grown and I now like the person I am. Thank you Curves, I wouldn’t have done it without you.

Here is our testimonial from Kay .......
Hi my name is Kay, I am 50 married with two boys 20 and 17. I work as a receptionist for Parks Motor Group. I attend Curves two or three times a Week mostly in my lunch hour. It fits in with my day all be it a bit of a rush somedays if I’m late getting away from my desk. Curves is a real outlet for me, it gets me off my chair and moving my body. I love it, the environment is so friendly and there’s always some banter to join in with. ...The music is very uplifting we just have a lot of fun. The curves program works really well alongside my netball for which I train 2 hours a week and play approximately 12 league games a season. Curves is a great partner to the netball it gives me strength and a strong Core whilst adding to my general fitness. This all helps me to keep up with the youngsters in my team HaHa!!
