The Firm: Burn and Shape |
 FIRM Rocks |
| This workout was tough and stuck to the old FIRM layout. Effective. I really like Emily and her style. She is fast, however, after a few times around, it comes naturally. You can make this workout harder using heavy weights. You can make it easier with lighter weights. The FIRM rocks! - posted by Joanne on 5/2/2012 |

 One of my favorites |
| It may take a couple of times to get used to this one. It's more toning-focused than aerobic. It's not a push-to-the-limit experience, but a good overall whole body toning workout. Not too long nor too stressful on the joints. This has become one of my favorites. - posted by Sharon on 2/23/2012 |

| Very disappointed |
| I have been a long time Firm workout enthusiast, but I was very disappointed with this DVD. It didn't flow, was difficult to follow (which is unusual for a Firm product). I disliked it so much I didn't even finish it and ended up returning it. - posted by Jennifer on 11/25/2011 |

| Good Workout |
| Good overall workout. Not one of the BEST Firm workouts, but good for variation. - posted by Diane on 8/25/2011 |

| Not for me |
| The instructor does not enunciate clearly and speaks too fast. The warm up was far too manic. I disagree that the choreography would be considered basic. I will be sending this back. - posted by Rexi on 8/19/2011 |

| One of my favs! |
| I don't understand some of the negative reviews! The warmup is a little long and I sometimes fastforward the last minute or two of it, but other than that I love this one!! I found the sequence of moves a little tricky the first time, but after that no problem. I like it more and more each I have done it and now it has become a favorite. It's tough enough to count as a great workout but I still look forward to it every time and my glutes are often sore the next day. I like Emily, I like the moves, I like everything (except the warmup...but who cares:)). - posted by Soledad on 5/28/2011 |

| Short but effective |
| Whenever I'm short on time, this is the dvd I reach for. It packs a lot in a little time. This dvd depicts Emily's personality - short, effective and fun. The cardio and muscle toning are effective, fun and easy to modify to give you more or less depending on your level of fitness. I love the concept of working more than one muscle when I'm short on time. Although I've been using DVD's for years, I'm still a little overweight, and with this DVD, I easily burn 400-500 calories in 41 minutes probably because my heartrate stays up the entire time we're on our feet. I do use heavier weights, but the moves are still safe. Every muscle gets worked two or three times. You have to be ready to move because this one is non-stop from the beginning to the end. - posted by Shereta on 5/7/2011 |

| A Good Workout |
| I recently did this video the other day and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I wanted to do what I thought we be an easier video because I didn't feel like working out. While this video is not super intense, I did manage to get a good workout from it. - posted by Marie on 2/23/2011 |

| Great workout |
| I love this workout, and actually find Emily to be one of my favorite FIRM instructors. This video is designed in mind for those who have done previous videos, and are familiar with FIRM techniques and routines. I would recommend this to anyone who has worked with FIRM videos...for example, did this with my friend who does roller derby, and lets just say she couldn't follow the steps and did not like the video. Me on the other hand, I love it. - posted by Kim on 2/13/2011 |

| Miss the Old Firm |
| I really tried to like this one but I just can't. I am an advanced exerciser but like some of the Firm tapes on days I don't have much time or energy. I have been disappointed in most of the Firm DVD's since the Transfirmer series and after. They just aren't the same. The cuing on this one is bad and I found it boring. - posted by Wendy on 2/10/2011 |
