Curve Fitness Center What Curve Fitness Center has done is break through the perception that you have to be fit, coordinated, and thin to go to a gym. Here you'll find more women in sweat pants than Spandex. Costs are an initiation fee of $40 to $70 and monthly rate of $29 to $49, depending on location. Because muscle weighs more than fat, Curve Fitness measures success in inches, not pounds lost. Curves' gyms are small, simple workout joints, often in strip malls; that attract mostly female customers over 30 who have never worked out much. They offer only one service: a tightly structured, 30-min. circuit-training workout on eight to 12 exercise machines. A recorded voice tells you when to move to the next machine. An exerciser spends only 30 seconds at a station, then keeps her heart rate up by walking or jogging in place before moving to the next one.   Whether buying a new car, or a used car, or selling a vehicle; first check KBB (Kelley Blue Book), Black Book, Red Book, or the NADA Used Vehicle Guide.
