Hey! Thanks for the buddy add. I'm kind of new to this, so not sure how it all works, but its cool to know people read what is written!
Just an FYI, I did Curves a few years ago. It's okay. They have hydraulic machines there, and it's circut training. You really only get out what you put in (like any gym I guess), but they're pretty good to keep you motivated. I just didn't like the machines. Post which you pick!
