I joined Curves a few years ago as a way of supporting my health. I was diagnosed with acute Rheumatoid Arthritis through every joint in my body at the age of 38 and as a result of initial Steroid use had developed Osteoporosis. I had been taking prescription medication for my Osteoporosis which had provided some improvement in the results. Due to concerns about side effects of the medication my doctor suggested a break from this. There were concerns that without the medication I would not be able to sustain the gains I had made. I discussed options with my doctor and the program offered by Curves seemed to be appropriate for positively supporting my bone health as well as being a program I could manage given the limitations of my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Follow up testing has shown that I have been able to maintain my previous levels and in fact my bone density levels have improved. I believe that this is due to the regular program of exercise provided through Curves and am pleased to say that I have not returned to taking the Osteoporosis prescription medication

My first encounter with your instructors was uplifting and positive. Each and every one of your instructors is knowledgeable, each knew me by name, and within 2 weeks I felt right at home. Every session was monitored by their watchful eyes, gently correcting angles of wobbly elbows and legs on the equipment, encouraging me to go harder, to build my fitness. Curves Smart certainly played a big role in my burst into fitness. The scientific approach and detailed feedback on every session leaves one in no doubt as to where one stands and gives one manageable short term goals to work on each session. Now at my new address I can simply transfer my membership and proceed on this solid foundation. Wynnum Curves is the way to go!!
