Fantastic experience: I knew this was the right place for me when I heard laughed coming from inside the second I got out of the car. You are always greeted with a cheerful hello and a coach is always on hand to give guidance and support. Can't image another gym with such a diverse range of women using it. A place where friendships are made as well as having a good workout.

Fantastic experience: Curves is such a friendly place to workout. Everyone is supportive and the Coaches are really encouraging. They push you to meet your own goals and always happy to show you a better technique to improve your own achievements. I've never been so comfortable working out as I do at Curves. My mental health has improved so much as well as my body strength.

Hayley Holt 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Curves in November 2023 as I needed a new way to exercise. After turning 40 my usual running and hiking didn't seem to be strengthening me like it use to and 'Gyms' were not 'my thing' .... well that was until I found Curves. Being surrounded by like-minded women, who want to exercise, but have fun at the same time, with no judgement, just encouragement! For anyone who wants to exercise in a fun, safe space, full of women of all ages, join Curves, you wont be disappointed :)

Alexandra Kirk 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Joined just over 3 months ago & it very quickly became part of my routine! I've gone from a pretty sedentary lifestyle to working out most days. The circuit is set up so no having to think & plan about what you need/want to do. There is always a coach on circuit to encourage & help with technique. All achievements are very much celebrated by all and it has a community feel.

Karen Nicholson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined curves two years ago. Never thought I would stick to it but from the first day I was hooked. I love this place , the buzz , the atmosphere , the coaches and the other curvettes. So much encouragement and body positivity . Here you will see every age from teen to 80s. People at the start of their fitness journey and people who have been coming for years. It's the friendlies place. The coaches and the owner Sally are so supportive and never tire of working with you to support physical and mental health and challenge your perceptions on how you see yourself. It really can be life changing and so rewarding. you don't have to mess about altering machines and wandering around looking for someone to help. There is ALWAYS a coach in the middle of the circuit and all workouts are measured by a smart machine , set up individually to you. .Once you join you will never want to leave !

Claire Mason 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Curves Ilkeston for 5 months & I’m so glad I joined! Prior to joining, I hadn’t set foot in a gym for at least 15 years & I didn’t stick at it for long. It was just a standard gym where you get shown round once & then left to your own devices. I only ended up using the same 3 or 4 machines that I felt comfortable using. Curves is completely different. It’s not just a gym, it’s a community. The coaches are all so supportive & welcoming & they know everyone by name when they walk through the door. It took a lot for me to visit Curves for the first time, but Dannii was just so lovely, talking me through everything & although I was nervous, I decided to sign up that day. The other members are also very friendly. In fact, after signing up, as I was walking out of the door I got invited to join some of them for coffee that morning. Again I was nervous, but I knew it would be good for me to go. It was so lovely to get to know people & be included right from the start. You get one to one support for your first 5 sessions, so you can learn how to use the machines correctly to get the most out of your workout. Then you go around 7 more times, before having a review with a coach to make sure you’re happy & your technique is good. Then you can book in to get your smart tag set up. What a great system! It’s set up for you, with your data, so the only person you’re competing with is yourself. You just put the tag in the machines & off you go. No fiddly settings to change on the machines, just utilising hydraulic resistance. Unlike other gyms, Curves gets you moving round a circuit. You spend 30 seconds on each machine & the whole thing only takes 30 minutes, including stretching. This means that it doesn’t take up much of your day & you don’t get bored, which I found was a problem when I’d previously been to the gym. It also means that you’re not stood around waiting to get on certain machines as you all move round at the same time. Absolute genius! Going to Curves isn’t just great for my physical health, but very much so for my mental health. I can be having a bad day, but exercising in the company of the fabulous Curves ladies will always boost my mood. There’s always a coach on the circuit giving you encouragement & support & the smiling, friendly faces of other Curves members. What also helps me mentally is knowing that I’m finally making the effort to look after my body, not just now, but for the future. And in such a fun way! I absolutely love that we get a weekly email encouraging us & getting us to think differently about things, including all the false information that’s out there about how to lose weight/stay healthy & what we’ve been told by well meaning people in our lives in the past. Coaching & Accountability is held at the beginning of each month. It gives you a chance to set new goals for yourself & review what’s gone well over the past month. You also get weighed & measured, however if you’d prefer not to do this, you can just go over your goals & talk anything through with a coach. Whatever you decide, the emphasis is always that there will be something to celebrate, as minor as you may think that is. Or even if you think there’s nothing to celebrate, the coaches make you realise that even getting in to do a workout & putting one foot in front of the other is something worth celebrating! So if you’re considering joining, but have been put off by gyms before, don’t let that put you off joining Curves. I certainly don’t regret it & I’m sure you won’t either :-)

Elizabeth Appleton 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined curves just over a month ago. I was welcomed from the minute I stepped foot inside. The coaches are friendly, supportive and are on hand at all times to provide encouragement and importantly instructions. You don’t have to think about what you are doing it is all planned out for you and best of all completed in 30 minutes. I was doubtful about joining initially as I am older and unfit. It doesn’t matter as we are all on our own journey and the coaches encourage everyone to be their better self.

Fantastic experience: It look me a couple of months to build up the courage to pop in for a chat as past experience of gyms isn’t great. I wish I’d done it months ago! All of the coaches are so supportive and friendly. Each work out is supported by a coach who is in the middle encouraging and supporting you. All shapes, sizes and ages of members, but each and every one so lovely. I’ve joined 5 weeks ago and have lost 4lb and 3.5 inches! The best gym in Ilkeston

It is simply the best place to work out, feel welcome, is fun and friendly, constantly meeting new people who are all there for the same reasons as me. The workout and circuit design is great, i never new i could achieve so much , with the help of the other ladies on the circuit, and the fantastic coaches, it almost feels like 1-to-1 personal training some days. The innovative smart workout and equipment are awesome. I wish I'd joined sooner.

The coaches are amazing when I am struggling they help me, one to one. (I have long lasting injuries so need help from time to time) I also love the emails of encouragement. It feels like a club not a gym. It's something I look forward to! .

I Heart Maggie 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined curves 3 months after having a baby. I was tired, recovering, didn’t fit in any of my clothes and REALLY didn’t want to join a gym. Curves appealed as it’s a 30 minute circuit and you only spend 30 seconds on a machine so you can’t get bored. My aim was to do 6 months then quit. Fast forward 8 months and I am loving it! Down 2 dress sizes, more active than ever and I really look forward to going 3 times a week! I love the energy of the circuit, the people and how great I’m feeling. If you want to make some positive changes to your health I highly recommend joining Curves, I’m so glad I did!

Fantastic experience: Joined Curves 2 weeks ago and loving it. Coaches are great and very friendly. 30 minutes and your done. Love the fact that it's ladies only and that each piece of equipment works on different parts of your body. Once your induction is done you can go as and when you want, no booking required. All ages welcome. Everybody really friendly. As I belong to Slimming World, this works well for me with regards to body magic. Can't recommend Curves enough.

Jo Burrows 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined curves 4 weeks ago as I was nearly at my heaviest weight and feeling awful. My ankle and back were aching and I felt very low in myself. I didn’t want another slimming class queueing up week after week to be weighed. I won a months free membership at curves and decided to take a look. I actually committed to a years membership determined to get healthier. I’m now on my 5th session guided through by qualified trainers. I can’t believe how much healthier I feel after 4 weeks. I’ve lost weight but I feel stronger already. I love the workout … it goes do quick, the music is good and staff supportive & friendly. Enjoying my journey so far

Fantastic experience: Curves is a ladies gym I have been associated with for 5 years. Friendly & welcoming even this last difficult year Curves has reached out & kept in touch with its members. Now we are back in the gym & I feel safe with the measures they have in place. Any local ladies who would like to feel fit & strong come & give Curves a go. I feel sure you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: I love coming to Curves and my only regret is I wished I'd started sooner. The coaches and ladies working on the circuit are so friendly and there are ladies of all shapes and sizes but all with one goal to get stronger and fitter. The coaches are excellent, explaining how to use the equipment correctly and always there encouraging you on. The 30 mins session is brilliant when fitting it into a hectic schedule and you certainly feel like you've worked out afterwards! The coaches kept us going throughout lockdown with video and live workouts at home, along with healthy eating information, and these workouts are still available. Would highly recommend Curves at Ilkeston to anyone thinking of joining and it's very safe, clean and well organised. Great to be back in the gym! Thank you ladies x

Fantastic experience: Well! If you're thinking of joining a gym do not look any further! I walked into this gym in January 2020 (that's the hardest step by the way) and I haven't looked back since. I wasn't unfit and was used to gyms and exercise classes but had got in a rut. This one is brilliant. You are permanently motivated but more than that the staff care for you. Genuinely. The quality of workouts to be done at home during Lockdown were outstanding, but today went back for the first time. Could not have felt safer, yet also felt it was back to normality. The joy of this gym is no booking, get in, done within 35 minutes and out again. There are all ages, all sizes, all sorts of women. It's not stereotype at all. If you want to be pushed you are. If you're less confident then they work with you. Recommend this gym unreservedly. Just join!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant coaching from coaches who have the best sense of humour. Gym sparkles, and is sterile, staff have put in safety measures to keep us all safe from Covid-19. Come and join us for a workout, take 30 minutes out of you day and beat the blues, fight the lockdown flab, and find new friends.

The support and motivation I have had from the coaches constant mentoring, even during lockdown has helped me lose 2 1/2 stone so far, it literally has changed my life forever .

Fantastic experience: Been going to curves, Ilkeston for almost a year, and I feel healthier and fitter. Since the return after the lockdown, it feels safe, clean and they've definitely taken the situation seriously and implemented new procedures. Having said this, its still fun and easy going and the coaches are great !! Rachael W :-)

Fantastic experience: I was very apprehensive about joining a gym as I feel very self conscious about my weight and lack of fitness. After finally plucking up the courage I booked a free consultation at Curves Ilkeston and I'm so glad I did. From the minute I walked through the door I felt at ease, the coaches are great, so friendly and helpful. I was nervous going to my first actual session but again I needn't have worried. The coaches talk you through everything and make sure you are doing things right for you. There is no waiting around or having to change weights and fiddling about with settings on the machines and no worries that you're holding anyone up, as you all move from machine to board to machine at the same time. Its brill and I always feel so much better for going. Huge thanks to all the ladies at Curves Ilkeston :)

Fantastic experience: Joining curves has been eye opening and a joy. The staff are amazingly supportive, as are the other users. A quick workout in a non intimidating environment was exactly what I needed and curves offers just that whilst genuinely caring about the users. Staff get to know each user personally and know exactly what they need for each step of the journey. I would highly recommend joining curves!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for ladies only Gym then I can highly recommend Curves at Ilkeston. They have made me feel so welcome and at ease. I've tried the normal gyms and zumba classes etc, but never felt comfortable so gave up after a while.

Everybody is so friendly and the 30 minute workouts really do go quick - would recommend Curves to all you ladies out there. If I can do it anybody can !!

Louise Wallis 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: A great place to get started and continue with a fitness regime. It is a very manageable amount of time on each piece of equipment and the fact that the system monitors your progress is fab. It is one of the best decisions I have made in the last 5 months and the results are really starting to show. Plus the team at Curves Ilkeston are good fun, motivational and very helpful with their knowledge and advice.
