Since our opening in 1992, our members have been raving about the weight loss Curves has helped them achieve. However, we know anecdotal evidence is not scientific evidence, so we wanted to ensure we were doing everything we could to give women science-backed exercise programs. That’s why we worked with teh prestigious Cleveland Clinic to study the effects of our workout. This makes us one of the most scientifically validated exercise club, with $6 million USD in research funds spent on ensuring the Curves workout achieves your goals.
In 2008 Dr Richard B. Kreider, PhD and a team of researchers conducted a blind clinical study on weight loss, body composition, and weight maintenance.
This was to determine which plan is more effective for sedentary obese women: a meal replacement–based diet program (MRP) and encouragement to exercise, or Curves’ meal plan-based diet and supervised exercise program.
From July 2007 to October 2008, 90 obese women completed a 10-week university-based weight loss trial; 77 women from this cohort also completed a 24-week weight maintenance phase. Participants were randomised to participate in an MRP or Curves program.
