My Story
Toni Rabatin,
Burke Curves, VA

The caring Curves staff and being a member of Curves Smart has been an integral part in my losing 30 pounds and 29.5 inches since joining Curves last July. I am in a weight loss program and had lost 50 pounds before joining Curves but exercising was not a part of my daily routine. My family gave me a gift certificate for my birthday which was the incentive I needed to give the program a try.
I felt welcome from the first day and watching the women as they worked out and yet having fun I realized I can do this. At the end of the period covered by the certificate there was no question as t my continuing with the program. I now know how important exercise is to weight loss and muscle toning.
At the end of a stressful day at work and the friendly greeting by Denise, Debby, Katie, Tracy and Maria or the other Curves staff, I am ready for a workout that relieves the stress. Even on the worst of days when a workout isnt what I think it should be the staff is always there with positive encouragement.
It is a pleasure being introduced by staff to new members or members who arent seeing the results they expect. I tell them to set short term goals and know that it takes time. The ladies who are working out and the Curves staff are my support as I continue to work to my goal one day at a time.
