This affordable one stop exercise and nutritional guidance program fits easily into most women's busy schedules. The majority of women, whether in shape or not, prefer to exercise in an environment designed for women. In addition to wide recognition of the importance of regular cardiovascular exercise, recent studies have shown that strength training exercise for women is beneficial in avoiding bone loss associated with aging.

The Curves Quickfit System alternates hydraulic resistance strength training machines with aerobic recovery stations. Members can perfo�m at their own rate. In one half--hour, a member can burn up to 500 calories and safely perform all aspects of a total fitness program. By increasing lean tissue, women will raise their metabolism and can expect to keep the weight off. Music makes it fun. An instructor or a cue tape tells members to move to the next station every 35 seconds and check their heart rate every eight minutes. The set-up of the exercise circuit makes visiting with other members enjoyable and introduces a social aspect to the exercise program. Members can exercise as often as they like for an affordable monthly fee. These fees can be paid on an annual basis or month to month.
