Tears on the Circuit

Today I had the most moving moment on the circuit that I have ever had. It reminded me of why I love working at Curves so much! READ ON FOR INSPIRATION ~ Cindy

There were two new members, sisters (Gail and Joanne) and they were having trouble getting on and off of the machines. One of the sisters started to cry because she felt defeated -- and wanted to give up already.

At that moment one of our seasoned members came up to this new member, who she didn't know, and gave her a great big hug and told her not to give up. Her show of support continued with "its not easy at first, but keep trying."

Then another member came up to her and gave her a hug and shared that five years ago she was also her size when she joined Curves. She, too, was frustrated getting on and off of the machines at first, but after a week or two, she was flying on and off of them.

Then the new member's sister started to cry, and she said that they have never gotten such nice treatment at a gym before, or from people they didn't even know. Soon they had almost everyone on the circuit crying. Then there was a BIG group hug, and everyone was good.
