i love the Piedmont Curves. the Curves workout is very easy to tailor to your own level; you can work out really hard and max out the aerobic aspect of it, or take it more slowly and concentrate on muscle work instead.
this Curves in particular is pleasant to go to; the morning crew of regulars are very nice, some are chatty, which makes the time pass. the space is very clean and tidy, and provides fresh towels and a cubby to stow your coat and keys in. Julie, the owner, is a really great person, incredibly patient and fun to talk to.
this Curves has an RFID tag system that tracks your workout intensity and range of motion, and lets you check your progress and weak areas at the end of each workout, as well as how many calories you burned. you don't have to use this system, but i highly recommend it.
I was a member of Curvesw years ago in Vegas. The Piedmont Curves puts my previous experience to shame! First of all the trainer, Julie is what really makes the place special. When you come in as a new client she will throughly review your history and objectives and then walk-thru every machine with you, until you are completely comfortable and familiar with proper techniques. On your weekly visits, she will great you warmly by name (Amazingly she remembers EVERYONE'S name). While you are working-out she remains on the floor to check people's progress and technique, as well as providing a really supportive and friendly atmosphere. One of the things I really appreciate is that she will come over and quietly mention any slight adjustments that you may need to make while you are working on a specific machine. She is really encouraging and has a knack for catering to each person's level and their objectives. She has even assisted me in nutritional advice. I would pay extra just to work with her alone!....I burn approx. 400 calories in a half hour....You can't beat it!!
I have been a member at a few Curves locations in the area, but the Piedmont Curves is the best! The trainer, Julie, is very good! She is always making sure people are using the machines properly. I have learned more about how to use the machines than I have at any other location. They have all of the machines and they do switch the order of the machines around a lot, which is nice!
An added bonus are the daily games they have (word scramble, trivia, etc.) that allow you earn Curves dollars towards T-shirts and other merchandise.

Meet the Business Owner: Julie A.
I started here at Curves 5 years ago as a trainer. I quickly fell in love with the spirit and welcoming nature of our ladies, so much so, that I could not imagine pursuing any other career. When the gym became available to purchase a year and a half ago, I jumped at the chance. Now my days are spent coaching these ladies in the circuit. I have to tell you, I have never laughed and had such a great time in my life. I must confess I am a little biased, but we have to have one of the most welcoming and supportive environments that exist amongst exercise facilities in California, and it is all due to our members. If you are ever in the area, stop on by and see for yourself!
