Curves is an exercise Gym type - except that it is just for Women. All the equipment is hydrolic resistance so there is no weight lifting etc. It is desinged to give you a 90 min work out in 30 min. I Love it!!! All the machines are in a circle so you face the other ladies. In between each station are platforms you like jog in place or what ever. You do each station for only 30 seconds each then move on to the next. You go arund the stations 3x's stretch and go home. They have great music playing and a cue tape that tells you when to change and when to check your heart rate. I sweat like a hog! I feel great! They post all the peoples name on the wall with how much inches you lost that month. The winner for June lost 19"! Its great and very motivating - I am not sure if its hit the UK yet - check the website
