The location is well-lit and close to home. I feel comfortable driving home even after dark.

Climate Control
Neither inclement winter weather nor scorching summer heat impedes my workout.
Plus the HVAC is pretty consistent indoors :-)

Weight Control
Losing pounds was never my first priority. But after 2 1/2 years of consistent training, my shape is firmer. I've only lost 6 pounds, but that includes 2% body fat. Update: 2017 - I lost 6 more pounds after writing this post and have been able to keep it off by continuing with the Curves Circuit.

Low-pressure sales
The staff doesn't push products. Even though there are clothes, vitamins, protein powder, etc displayed prominently, I appreciate that I don't feel compelled to buy. 2017 pdate: I have enjoyed snacking on Curves bars and wearing a couple of pieces of their clothing.
