Monrovia’s women-based fitness center, Curves, celebrating 30th anniversary

Thirty years after the first Curves opened in Texas, women worldwide are still getting stronger and healthier using the Curves circuit of hydraulic resistance machines, spending 30 seconds per station as they complete a 30 minute, full-body workout.

According to Maria Guerra, owner of Curves of Monrovia/Bradbury/Duarte, Curves’ overall approach to fitness has stood the test of time. 

“Krishea Holloway, Curves president and CEO since 2019, has retained both the familiar Curves circuit approach to workouts and the brand’s laser focus on women’s physical and emotional health and wellness,” says Guerra, “while leveraging the latest technology for delivery of Curves’ programs.

Gyms and fitness clubs may feel intimidating to a woman just starting out on her fitness journey. At Curves, we offer a safe, approachable, comfortable workout solution, with both low and high impact options for the everyday woman regardless of her age or fitness level.” 

The Curves circuit of hydraulic resistance workout machines designed specifically for women delivers the equivalent of a 90-minute workout in just 30 minutes. Each machine challenges and strengthens one or more specific muscle or muscle group. Between each machine is a metabolic conditioning station that provides the cardiovascular element of the workout. Together, they create an effective, full-body workout.

“Since hydraulic resistance machines create resistance that intensifies with effort, they are ideal for all fitness levels and ages,” explains Guerra. “As a woman’s strength improves and she is able to push harder against the machines, the machines respond with more resistance, continually challenging the body.”

As Curves enters its fourth decade as one of the world’s largest women’s fitness brands, the brand continues to innovate, offering members options that range from woman-centric health, wellness, and nutrition programs to specialized workouts that focus on women’s health essentials like cardio fitness, boxing, and balance.

“Regardless of your age or fitness level, make 2022 the year that you prioritize your healthy lifestyle,” says Guerra. “At the gym or at home, join the community of support that is Curves, where women get stronger and healthier – together!”
