thinking about joining Curves, heard they are anti choice.

I need more excercise. They are really handy, right in my neighborhood. Walking takes too long (though I enjoy it and will keep doing it) and riding bike here is suicide.
Anybody else heard if this is true or not, about Curves' corporate support for antichoice actions?

1. Snopes has this:

Here is another site with links, but most are from 2004: http://curvers.squarespace.com/learn-more/

It sounds like the CEO is anti-choice, & that he directs his personal funds to anti-choice orgainzations.

2. that aside...it's not a very interesting workout. I tried it a few years ago

and there isn't any way to increase your weight or change the workout...so it ends up being better than sitting on the couch..but not challenging.
