What You Should Know
Curves Complete is an online weight loss tool similar to the Weight Watchers online program. Dieters that purchase an online membership can utilize online tools, including meal planners, shopping lists and nutrition advice. At the time of this review, the Curves Complete program is no longer accepting applications or new members, but we assume old members still have access to the website and its tools. Curves gym members may be able to gain access to Curves Complete.

Online tools for achieving weight loss success.
Product Features
The Curves Complete program is an online community that charges a fee for weight loss and fitness tools. The membership includes full access to recipes, menu planners, meal trackers, calorie counters, fitness videos and more. Participants do not need a Curves gym membership to take part in the Curves Complete program.
An online video describing the program offers screenshots of the tools available to dieters. These include a membership community and nutritional advice. These same tools are available to members of free workout communities like SparkPeople. Weight Watchers offers a similar online plan for a fee.
Dieters following the Curves Complete program are prescribed a set number of calories per day, week and month. Calorie intake is tracked, but dieters must enter food, drink and exercise onto the website in order to see progress. Weight trackers and inches trackers help dieters see real time progress.
The program requires dedication and laborious tracking. Though dieters gain access to an online forum, the forum is not the same as in person meetings and weigh-ins. We assume the program was not successful for the Curves corporation as it is no longer open to new members.
We did not find any pricing information for Curves Complete. We do know the price members paid was in addition to the Curves gym membership if they decided to join a local gym.
Advantages
- Printable shopping lists for menu plans.
- Daily, weekly and monthly progress trackers.
- Access to nutritional information.
- Dieters do not need to be a member of the Curves gym.
Disadvantages
- The program is no longer accepting new members.
- There is no pricing information available online.
- Dieters must remain dedicated and track progress daily.
Conclusion
The Curves Complete program is good in theory, but free websites like SparkPeople offer the same trackers without a monthly or yearly fee. The fact that Curves is no longer running the program could mean users have lost membership fees or that the program is only available to people who pay a Curves gym membership. We like the fact that dieters can track progress, but paying a fee to gain access to tools that are available for free is not a smart idea.
Your info on Curves Complete is INCOMPLETE. I am a coach in Northern Indiana. There WAS a Curves Complete program years and years ago that no longer exists. The popularity of online support is such that new features were added, including daily online motivational videos from respected experts and weekly one-to-one meetings with a coach who has completed extensive training and is certified by the Cleveland Clinic to coach the program. This is the ONLY program that integrates diet, exercise, and motivation. Membership in the workout program is included in the fee. New participants are definitely being accepted–and encouraged–to sign up. More information can be provided by contacting curves.com
