TAMA NEWS-HERALD- Curves has been in Tama since 2004. Cheryl Balvin and Lynne Wilson bought it in 2006. Cheryl Balvin purchased Lynne’s half this August 2011. When Owner Cheryl Balvin, owner of Curves in Tama purchased Curves the mission was to give the women in the Tama community a complete aerobic and strength training workout in a fun, supportive environment. We have also added ZUMBA on the Curves circuit!

“It’s exciting to have been a part of the Tama community for so long, providing women with weight loss guidance and a fun, doable program,” said Balvin. “We feel our success in Tama stems from not only the strength of the Curves brand, but our dedication to helping women get fit.”

Since Balvin opened Curves of Tama in April 15, 2006, women have been able to exercise in an environment designed strictly for them.

Under the direction of Richard B. Kreider, PhD, FACSM, scientists have put the Curves fitness and weight-loss program to rigorous testing, scrutinizing its effects on hundreds of women. The results? Curves works! Women on the Curves plan have lost weight and kept it off, boosted their metabolism, lost body fat, gained muscle, and enjoyed several other significant benefits.

According to Balvin, the Curves plan focuses on firing up the metabolism, small meals throughout the day, a broad variety of healthy food and strength training. Curves’ exercise program consists of thirty minutes of exercise three times a week, during which participants work all major muscle groups and receive a great cardio workout. It includes all five components of a complete exercise program: warm-up, strength training, cardio, cool down, and stretching.

In addition to a proven workout plan, Curves of Tama offers various programs to help motivate and assist women in obtaining a healthy lifestyle, including: CurvesSmart™ personal coaching system, a new technology pioneered by Curves that offers a precision designed workout, moment to moment feedback and progress reports to keep members motivated while they work out; and www.CurvesComplete.com, an online weight-loss subscription service that provides subscribers with diet and fitness information, tools, experts and motivation to achieve their weight-loss goals.

“We look forward to continuing the Curves program in the Tama area and helping women achieve their goals,” said Balvin.
