At Our Curves, Green Has Its Own New Meaning

Whether you have been a Curves member for five years or five weeks, you can feel the excitement here in our gym in Mays Landing. Even those members who were happy with Curves the way it was are now on board with this new system. Now, not only do members have the knowledge and support of our experienced staff while they work out, but they also have their own success coach in front of them on every machine. Curves Smart is an upgrade to the Curves circuit equipment that personalizes the workout for each member by measuring her heart rate, intensi­ty level, range of motion and reps as she works out, comparing the measurements to her previously determined capabilities. The per­sonal coaching system indicates with color-coded lights whether the member is working to her max (green = yes), so she can adjust her intensity as needed.

The circuit is still 30 min­utes and offers the same great workout. The difference is that now members receive real-time feedback that they can use imme­diately to get the most out of each workout. Instead of won­dering how hard they worked or how many calories they burned, they’ll know exactly how hard they’re working and be able to see the calories precisely to meet the members predetermined goals and match their current fitness level.

The system automatically adjusts to become more difficult if the member has show marked progress over several workouts. Or, if the member has been unable to reach her target inten­sity over several workouts, the system will adjust her workout to be less intense. This makes the Curves workout excellent for all fit­ness levels. According to research from Baylor University, women saw a 20% increase in inches lost when using the Curves Smart circuit rather than the traditional circuit.

Baylor studies also report Curves has proven effective at helping women lose weight, gain muscle strength and aerobic capacity, increase bone density, and raise metabolism. Members here at our gym have been using the systems now for two weeks. Depending on their fitness level and program they are using, some are burning over 600 calories per workout. Members are thanking me for bringing this new system to our gym. You can just feel the adrenaline when you enter our doors. Come see for yourself. We would be happy to share the feeling.
