About the gym:

Curves is a successful franchise with thousands of locations around the country. The Curves concept is this: Women visit the gym three times a week for 30 minutes each time. During that time, you’ll do a workout that combines stretching, strength training, and aerobic exercise. The machines at Curves are arranged in a circle, so you always know where to go next. Curves also offers guidance on nutrition and weight loss. The founder of Curves, Gary Heavin, has several books on the market including Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting: The Curves For Women Weight Loss Method and Curves on the Go.
