The Firm TransFIRMer Review

The Firm TransFIRMer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I did the Firm workouts for years and always loved them. They were definitely the most effective workout (along with private Pilates) that I've ever done. It's true that working with weights is absolutely essential to a high metabolism and shapely muscles--especially as we get older. Don't think that you have to "lose weight and THEN do strength training." Proper strength training (if you're consistent) will help you lose weight!

That said, a few years back, I did start to stray from my Firm workouts for awhile. When I tried to get back into them a few years later, I found that I wasn't crazy about the newer DVD's that they put out, and some of my older ones, although still GREAT workouts, were a little too dated (talk about the high-cut white leotards and matching leg-warmers!!). AND I had done them all so many times already.

Then I saw the TRansFirmer advertised and thought I'd give it a try. It really is the best piece of equipment! It's light, easily changes from one position to another (unlike the last step/fanny lifter combination they made that was IMPOSSIBLE), and feels very stable and solid while you're working out with it. And the DVD's are great. The instructors are awesome, I never found myself getting annoyed, and I always work up a sweat. It really is the best of the Firm, but totally updated and fun. My favorite so far of the 4 that come with the Transfirmer is the Supercharged Sculpting with Pam. It's fairly short (unlike this review!), but very thorough and fun. Allie's great as well. I remember her as being one of the students in many of the old Firm workouts.

Anyway, I've never written a review before, but I felt compelled because I really have to applaud the Firm. They really nailed it this time. After doing it maybe 6 times, I can already feel (and see) my strength and muscle shape coming back. It's also helping me with my other workouts (Pilates and S-Factor) because of the strength I'm building. I look forward to new DVD's to go with the TransFirmer. I love it!!

About The Firm
It all began in 1979 when The Firm Studio opened in South Carolina. By combining cardio and weight training, The Firm recognized that people could burn fat, build muscle, and get the bodies they wanted safely, effectively, and quickly. This cardio-plus-body-sculpting fitness hybrid--called Synergy Training--formed the basis for The Firm method then and is still central to The Firm philosophy today. It didn't take long for fitness enthusiasts to catch on, and The Firm was off and running.
When The Firm decided to share their successful method with people who were unable to travel to the Studio, the at-home workout series was born. The Firm received glowing reviews and top professional awards from the very start. Since then, The Firm has sold more than ten million workouts. Today, The Firm mission is to continue researching and creating superior fitness techniques and products for reshaping and toning the body.

The FIRM Cardio Sculpting Balls Review

The FIRM Cardio Sculpting Balls
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am the most skeptical of skeptical people, especially when it comes to anything "as seen on TV"/infomercial products, and MOST especially work out systems.I work at a retail store and noticed this kit a few weeks ago.I decided I'd give it a try, as it sounded decent and the winter weather has put a nice road-block on my outdoor cardio . . . plus my employee discount always helps me try new things! :)I liked the idea of the weighted balls incorporated with cardio, as I am getting married in the fall and I need both cardio and muscle tone to look fab in my dress.

Getting more to the point, this workout kicked my butt!!I was absolutely shocked at how quickly I was drenched in sweat.Mind you, I am a 22 year old fairly fit individual who walks and jogs on a daily basis, plus I have been a dancer since I was 6 and I do yoga regularly.I'm not as toned as I would like to be (lack of motivation to do push ups and lunges . . .), hence buying the kit.I literally could barely walk the next day!I did the full workout, not the express routines, on my first go with the kit.Almost the entire DVD is some form of lunge or squats plus the weighted balls.My abs were sore, every possible muscle in my legs were sore, my arms were sore . . . it was miserable, but a good miserable!I couldn't work out the next day to the same DVD, so I did a low-key pilates DVD instead.I haven't been this sore in YEARS!

The only real downside I saw to the DVD is there is basically no instruction whatsoever.There were a few moves I had trouble wrapping my brain around--probably due to a combination of profuse sweating and extreme fatigue.However, I found that as a complete virgin to The Firm workouts I was able to follow along for the most part and it definitely got easier the second time around.Just don't get hung up on trying to do all of the moves perfectly the first few times with the workout.Often I would ignore the more complicated arm sequences while I concentrated on getting the foot work down.For new moves I usually marched in place and watched the girls do a cycle first to get the move down before attempting it myself and I found that extremely beneficial.

I am extremely pleased with this purchase, which means a lot coming from one of the cheapest people ever!I would recommend this product to anyone who wants an intense and effective workout.I will update and let you all know if I notice a difference in my strength and tone in a few more workouts.

The Firm Boot Camp 101 Kit Review

The Firm Boot Camp 101 Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As someone who owns the ORIGINAL workouts that this title is comprised of, I know that "The Firm Boot Camp 101" should probably be an awesome, effective and fun workout.I know this because The Firm's "Slim Without the Gym" and "Fat-Burning Sculpting Ball Workout" are both great workouts.This program basically takes the "Sculpting Ball" workout and interjects the jump-roping cardio section of "Slim W/o the Gym."In doing this, however, I personally don't think they improved anything.In fact, with the original "Sculpting Ball," you at least get to choose the weight of the ball (4 lbs., 6 lbs. or a monstrous 8 lbs.) With this program, you are given the 4 lb., which is fine for me, but may be too light for some. As far as the boredom argument goes, the original "Slim w/o..." uses THREE pieces of equipment: jump-rope, resistance cord and resistance loop. Again, in my opinion, the original wins. AND both original programs have both cardio and sculpting already...Your choice. But if you don't have either DVD, hey, being a huge fan of The Firm, I'm sure you will find "Boot Camp 101" fun and effective. If you DO have both workouts, however, don't fall for this marketing gimmick!
