A New Era in Workout Milestones

Founder member Kim was our first member to reach 1000 workouts in July 2011.

When I first took over at Curves Ilkeston in 2010 there was not one member who had reached the glorious milestone of 1000 workouts. It actually did happen in my first year when one of our founder members Kim, hit that milestone which was very exciting!

Today we have nearly 40 members with over 1000 workouts, and we are in double digits for over 2000 (which includes a few of the much rarer 3000+ workouts!). I’m often asked, what do we celebrate next? I’m not sure that Curves ever really thought that through, but also (in their defence), once you have reached over 1000 workouts the habit is set and celebrating every 100 is a bit like celebrating tying your shoe laces (which we are not averse to of course 😁).

I pondered, because I knew the answer was in celebrating every 250 workouts, but I wanted something next level to our current workout milestone badges/medals, while also considering, there is only so much space on our badges and medals!

The answer was using good old fractions and I am delighted with the response, even though I have had to explain the concept to some of the youngsters 👀 (a quick reference the Harry Potter and the platform 9¾ puts them on the right path!)

So, I am very excited to announce our new milestone celebration collection, which, when they are all aligned give you a wonderful colour change progression. These are available NOW, to all of you Legends (1000+), for every quarter of a thousand workouts! And sorry it took so long…!

As before, if you want your collection to be complete you will be able to purchase any earned prior to this launch for £2 each, £1 of which goes to our October fundraising total for Notting Hospitals Charity.

What comes after Legend status?
