Your Coaches do love to celebrate your Smart data with you and we’re there to help you see your progress because that means increased inspiration (for everyone!) and motivation on 🔥 for your next workout 💪

�Our Curves Smart® system sets targets, personal to each of us, and then provides you with evidence of your progress… IF you know where to look 🔍👁️

There are TONNES of ways we can celebrate your results (💚💚 ALL GREENS 💚💚 being only one of them!) and when the data shows you are getting STRONGER 💪💪 then the system will be sure to adjust your targets to keep you challenged.��

💜 Strength Training and being stronger will reduce stress, improves your mental health, makes your day a whole lot easier and will reduce your risk of common health problems such as back problems, osteoporosis, joint pain AND reduce your risk of chronic disease such as cancer.

In short - it makes you feel EPIC 😎 and who doesn’t want that?!

💪 Strength Training for women has become a bit of a buzz these days as the world is waking up to the fact that being Stronger will impact your health in more positive ways and for longer than the seemingly never ending fight to lose weight.

🐝 It's not an on-trend buzz for us though, it’s our lives. 💥 We've been Strengthening women across the world for over 30 years now, and over 20 years at Curves Ilkeston.

🙅‍♀️ We specialise in fitness for women, we've done the research, and we simply don't do fads.

❌ We’re not running boot camps, or campaigns to get that ever shrinking summer body.
❌ We’re not going to sell you a plan to lose weight before your holiday (and then abandon you to your own devices).
❌ We’re not offering you a diet dressed up as an ‘eating plan’ (and then tell you it's your fault if it doesn't work).

💥 We’re serious about what we do here at Curves, and that’s Strength Training FOR WOMEN 💪 and a Coach is part of your membership from Day 1.

❓Why? Because we know that looking good goes beyond a beauty standard that’s been set for us.

😊 Being fit, healthy and happy is more than just a number on the scale and we are here for all 3. We’re not luring you in with false promises or super discounts that get you started but don’t help you keep coming FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE (because that’s what it takes to preserve your fitness, health and happiness!)

💜 Our mission is to change the world by giving you the tools to live a healthy life and it starts here.

Woop woop- this Coach Nicky hit 100 workouts woo hoo! Coach Nicky gets her workouts in every week and is feeling the benefit of strength training 💥 Strong muscles provide the support for bones and joints that keep your body stable and working properly. 💪💜

If you are Strength Training as you lose weight, your body will prioritise and protect muscle tissue and tend to burn more body fat for energy. Muscle tissue burns a lot of energy. When you are trying to lose weight and keep it off, it is critical that you do all that you can to burn primarily body fat and preserve muscle mass.

Congratulations Coach Nicky!🙌😍

💥 Mindsets change everything! When a woman comes and joins Curves, or we are working with a member to set goals they often have a good idea what they want to achieve.

🤯 Where it goes wrong in our mindset is not getting clear on our expectation of what is likely to actually happen (considering family, work hours, sleep patterns, metabolism, weight loss history, body composition and the fact most of us don't have a private chef!), and knowing what our standards are - not necessarily our standards of achievement either (i.e. not being happy with anything other than perfect or 100%). The standard of the actions we are willing, prepared and able to take.

Your Goal: what you want to happen, where you want to end up, your ideal scenario, what you are AIMING for.  Your Expectation: what you predict will be the reality (always lower than the goal… until you actually achieve your goal).  Your Standards: what is acceptable to you, where

🎙️ We finally braved it! Coach Sall and Coach Dannii got together to record a much needed conversation about calorie deficits!

👭 As usual, this will be our take based on what we know, and what we have learned from our work with hundreds of women every day in the gym. We have been standing up against diet CULTURE for years, this doesn't mean we are anti-weight loss. We are here to help women be Stronger, healthier and happier and that means understanding how we change body composition, rather than simply lose weight.

This is the first of an absolutely cracking two-parter that has been hiding in the shadows for way too long so get your 🎧 and probably have a 📝 to hand and spend 30 minutes with us on this. First up we're going to talk about FOOD!

🔍 Available on our website or find us on Spotify, Apple Podcast and all the major podcast platforms. Just search "The Power of 30"

We braved it! (And yes, it made us grrrrrrrrrr!) This is a challenging topic for two people who have been standing up against diet culture for so many years but there is no escaping the science and we thought it was time to have an honest conversation about how to create a calorie deficit.

🤠 Shout out to our Saturday Coaching Crew for giving Saturday workouts their unique vibe! Coach Tash has been our Saturday for over 10 years, and Coach Issy is one of our newest Coaches 💜

🔥 They can change your whole perspective of the week that's just happened AND set you up for next week.
🤩 It's not about what you did (or didn't do) this week, it's not even about next week (yet), it's about right here, right now.
😎 And honestly, a Saturday workout makes you feel epic!

💪 Strengthening Women 2026 💪 The secret to our 30-minute workout is our machines 🔥 Let's take a closer look at the Chest Back machine, it is definitely an old favourite for most of you. Technically easy to use and THE best machine to feel that unique and amazing push-pull hydraulic resistance provided by our machines.

Have you felt it working? Machines that give us resistance in both directions are the secret to our 30-minute workout. In any other gym you would have to do "push" exercises and "pull" exercises. Our specially designed machines do both at once meaning you can work opposing muscle groups at the same time!

Before we get carried away there's serious work to be done on this machine. Working the chest and the back there are also some great practical benefits from this machine;

💜 Strong chest and back muscles help to alleviate back pain
💜 Improved posture - making you look and feel a million dollars
💜 Strengthened muscular support while doing everyday tasks making them seem easier
💜 Improved flexibility, function and muscle balance by working opposing muscle groups evenly
💜 Less pressure on the shoulders – improved muscle function in the upper body means less stress into the shoulder joint, reducing risk of injury or chronic conditions such as frozen shoulder.
