NORWICH – The storefront location in Norwich’s North Plaza where Curves for Women has been open for the past four and a half years is now vacant.

As of Wednesday, the women’s fitness center opened the doors at its new location on South Broad Street in the City of Norwich.

“The main reason for the move was we thought the closer we were to downtown the better,” said Curves Manager Melissa Lapadula. “We felt a little out of the way in the plaza.”

Lapadula said the experience in Norwich so far has been great, and that many of the members who regularly attend Curves now started the first week the facility was open. Because Curves offers a 30-minute circuit routine focusing on both strength training and cardio, it is easy to fit the exercise regiment into a daily routine. Lapadula, who has been with Curves since it opened, said she has seen many success stories during her time. She herself lost 59 pounds and kept it off with the Curves workout.
