I was at home working out. I have everybody's tapes and video. It was lonesome and I needed to get out of the house. So I came to Curves. Being around other people with the desire to get stronger and lose weight was a great inspiration. I really enjoyed being here. The people and equipment are great. I have reached my goal!

Over 6 years ago I hurt my back. The doctors forbid me to exercise. I couldn't even walk. Two years ago, I had surgery. After I was released, I decided at 62, it was time to lose the weight and get physically healthy. Sometimes I'm so busy, but I've decide to make time. I'm so happy I made the commitment -- and so are my family and friends.
