Hi. Yes I signed up to Curves about 18 months' ago - but I wish I hadn't. They did not give me any diet advice and I found there opening times useless. They shut at 1pm until 4pm at our local club, which did not fit in with the hours I was working at the time. They opened evenings, but only half day Saturdays. The trouble is you have to sign up for 12 months direct debit payment, and you can't get out of it if you find that you don't like it/you're not losing weight or inches. I lost 4 - 61bs initially, but then no more, despite dieting.
Hope this helps.
