And many had a know-it-all, "I'm better than you" attitude solely based on their looks...It took a monumental effort to go. I hated it more each time I went and I eventually stopped going.

I think this is one of the best reasons why Curves has been so successful. I think too many guys don't understand WHY so many women are afraid of the gym. I even took a weight training class in high school so I know how to use most of the machines and I am still way too intimidated to lift at the school gym here.
