I would like to thank Lake Elmo Curves for giving me my life back! You might think that is a bit of an exaggeration; however, let me explain to you how it is very true. I have tried many-many other options to get healthy. I have been a member of other so-called health clubs, I have exercise equipment at home, I have read books on eating right, etc. My weight continued to climb, as I continued to grow more disappointed with myself. In the Spring of 2006 I joined this club and my life has been better ever since. I attended the 6 week course offered, and learned the right way to eat healthy. The trainers are always cheerful and willing to help. The atmosphere is consistently upbeat, and even when I’ve had a bad day at work, I leave there feeling refreshed and energized. I even had the courage to finally attend my high school reunion this year! I had not attended any previously. I signed-up for my 30th and enjoyed meeting people that didn’t even recognize me. I have obtained my goal weight and continue to firm up those muscles that previously seemed hopeless. \I sincerely encourage you to do something good for yourself – you’ll be glad you did. Believe me, life can be better. Hope to see you soon!

In April of 2008, I participated in our club's Six Week Challenge weight management class. I lost 20 lbs in that six weeks and learned a new way of thinking about food and eating. Curves "Smart" workout was just what I needed to step up my exercise program and get me beyond occasional weight loss plateaus. I have lost a total of 66 lbs and credit my new shape and renewed health to Lake Elmo Curves.
