Rockne resident gets curves

Rockne resident Beth Ane Osborn is the proud new owner of Curves, a fitness center designed for women, located at 1001-A Chestnut St. in downtown Bastrop.

Years ago, Osborn worked out at Curves and after about a year and a half she lost 70 pounds and five dress sizes.

She dreamed of owning her own Curves, but that dream did not become a reality until earlier this summer, when she heard that the previous owner, Mary McMillan, was selling the business.

Since her initial experience with Curves, Osborn has had two hip replacements.

She knows all too well how difficult it can be to find a fitness program that suits the needs of everyone.

That is one point she stresses, that the Curves regimen is great for any age and level of fitness.

She is currently working towards her own fitness goals and since starting Curves again on June 1, she has lost two dress sizes.

Osborn also stressed that there will always be a trainer on the circuit.

In July, she and her daughter, Heather Osborn, went to Curves Training Camp at their headquarters in Waco and were both certified.

The mother and daughter team will be busy, since they both hold down jobs at the Hyatt as well.

Beth Ane has worked as an overnight PBX phone operator for about three years now and Heather works in In-room Dining.

Osborn also mentions that anyone who is interested in finding out more about Curves may come in and receive a free trial week.
