If you have one piece cranks...they come loose alot.

Take it to a shop.
The one piece cranks that were on my other bikes didn't come loose that much. This is my first bike with 3 piece cranks.

Partly true. I didn't know they were called cranks until like 4 or 5 years ago.

Well then loosen the pinch bolts(the tops of the arms closest to the bb) if they have them, then tighten up the compression bolts (on the sides) then re-tighten the pinch bolts and you should be good.

If not, take them too a shop.

Do not use the red LocTite, at least not in large quantities. I learned that lesson the hard way, when I had to use a blowtorch to remelt it so that I could take off my old Powerbites.
