Jessie's Story

Jessie Francisco is one amazing woman. Jessie joined our Curves in Dearborn one year ago, and in that year has lost a grand total of 63.5 pounds, 8.9% body fat and 61.5 inches. Jessie has been an inspiration to so many women, both at Curves and in the other areas of her life. She is always cheerful and willing to try and help guide other members on the Curves circuit. Jessie's weight loss success can be attributed to her working out at Curves three times a week, and when she is not exercising at Curves, she enjoys long walks. According to Jessie, working out at Curves and eating healthy, has become her way of life now. Way to go Jessie. Congratulations!!!! We at Curves in Dearborn are so proud of you, just as you should be so proud of what you have accomplished.

Meet Dolly Another Senior Staff

Greetings!

I'm Dolly Cwik. I'm a senior member of the Curves staff, along with Pat.

I am in my 4th year of being associated with Curves in Dearborn Michigan. One of the main reasons why I joined Curves Dearborn was to gain strength so that I could take care of my ill husband, Wally, who had suffered a stroke. My weekly workouts at Curves helped me develop the strength I needed to do just that. They enabled me to more easily give him the attention and care I wanted to give him without doing any harm to myself.

After Wally passed away I continued to come to Curves. In fact, I came a lot. During one of my visits Gail Bushbaker, the owner, asked me if I would be interested in possible employment. It was a blessing in disguise as I was at loose ends and needed something to keep me occupied. That was a year and a half ago and I've never been sorry I made the choice to join the Curves team.

Curves is a great place to be - the people, the staff and the exercising all make it so worthwhile.

Sophia's Success


The fitness study is coming to a close. Our first participant (Sophia) just finished her 30-day study. She has lost a total of 17 pounds, eight inches and 11 pounds of body fat. That is awesome. Sophia has worked very hard. She came in at least three times a week to exercise and paid attention to the advice we gave her, eating a colorful diet (not just white and brown), and walking on the days she didn't come to Curves. She has become a full-time member so she can continue to achieve her goals. Good Luck Sophia. Way to go!!!!
