Curves for women

FOR millions of adults, exercising at a co-ed gym is the preferred way to get fit. But for many women, it isn’t. Not only do some women dislike the “meat market” atmosphere of many health clubs, they also feel that these gyms are not addressing the bigger realities of their lives, such as a lack of time and motivation to stick with a workout programme.  

Gary Heavin realised that and developed a simplified and standardised workout programme consisting of a regimented circuit of strength training on hydraulic machines and aerobic exercises that can be done in 30 minutes, three times a week. He put the whole thing in an area about the size of a single apartment and made it exclusively for women.
