Curves (Monmouth/Independence, OR)

Growing up I can't remember a time when my mom did not go to Curves. My first job in highschool was working at the Salem Curves, so in some way, it has always been a part of my life. Once I started working at the club, I fell in love with Curves instantly. It was inspiring, especially at a young age, to see such an empowering group of women working together to better themselves. Working out consistently helped me grow in both strength and confidence. I feel so strongly that women should have a safe space to be free to work towards their goals without fear of judgment. This is why I value the club so much.  I am ecstatic to be back in the club, and getting to form and deepen connections with other strong women in my hometown. I can’t wait to see myself reach my goals, while helping others reach theirs. Every woman deserves to feel strong and confident. It is an honor to help others on their journey to become the best version of themselves. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me as I continue to work at the Monmouth club.
