A New Fitness Revolution! Curves in Poole

“Curves in Poole  fitness  for women”
This hit American franchise is sweeping the UK. The women’s only fitness centre has already broken the States and now has its eyes set on us!
The Poole and Bournemouth area have already caught “Curves mania”. With the latest arrival situated on Ashley road, Upper Parkstone. Celebrating its 1 year anniversary on the 25th of February 09 it seems this is a lot more then just some craze.
Curves is a facility specially designed for women interested in losing, firming and toning or just staying healthy, it’s in a safe and friendly environment where encouragement and support are in abundance. The workout consists of a qualified trainer monitored complete 30 minuet workout, within that half an hour you work all the major muscle groups while intergrading cardio and core stability strengthening.
With an optional weekly or monthly weigh and measure to keep an eye on those sneaky pounds!
The equipment used (as well as being designed with a woman’s body in mind) also uses a unique “hydraulic system”. Meaning no weights and a smoother more organic workout.
When speaking to the Curves in Poole  gym members I asked them, why Curves works for them rather then one of the more commercially known fitness brands?
The responses were varied but all highly inspiring.
Jayne - “When I come to Curves for my workout, I don’t have to think twice about what I’m wearing, if my makeup’s right. All I have to think about is the workout, I can leave all the hang-up’s of being a woman at home!”
Cath - “At my old gym I would have to of paid extra for the kind of personal and individual attention you get from the staff. There is a trainer in the centre all the time making sure you use the equipment right and are working to your full potential”.
It seems the appeal to Curves in Poole is that not only is the workout designed for women but the attitude and atmosphere also.
The age range was surprisingly diverse, young girls just out of 6th form, mums in there 30’s to women in there 60’s and 70’s. Never have I seen such wide spread acceptance of a relatively new concept, but if it works (and Curves obviously dose) then why be surprised.
Iren said “ Before finding out about Curves I thought my “keep fit” days were over. With my hip problem and age, the gyms I looked into just wouldn’t work. But the machines are design with all ages in mind. As for my hip, the workout has only made me stronger!”.
I spoke to Jacqui Arnold, manager of the Parkstone based Branksome Curves centre (Poole), she puts the success is down to the friendly and supportive atmosphere of the Curves environment. Adding that the workout is hard and intense but the fun attitude of the members and staff make the half hour workout fly by.
With Curves Branksome also introducing an Abs and Core stability class on Thursday’s, it seems it is here to stay.
