The Firm: Ultimate Fat Burning Workout |
  Not for the intermediate to advanced |
| This video was boring and a disappointment. The transitions were very quick and Allison's cuing during the kickboxing was off. I would not recommend this video for the intermediate to advanced. - posted by Joanne on 7/21/2010 |

| One of my favorites! |
| This has become one of my favorite workout videos to go to because the time flies when you are having fun. Allison is an excellent instructor and the moves are interesting and challenging. I don't get that bored or can't wait till this workout is over feeling when I use this dvd. I like that I get my cardio and toning done together. I am grateful for this low impact dvd on days when my knees are giving me problems but I still want to work out. This workout also incorporates all of the Firm's signature moves! - posted by Rebecca on 7/10/2010 |

| Keeping this one |
| I am keeping this one for interval training. I like it. The toning segments are not as tough, but I don't think that is the purpose. This DVD is mainly cardio, and the toning is compound fast exercises to keep your heart rate up. I really liked the kick boxing at the end. I thought Allison did a great job, and I wish this video was longer. I also liked that this video didn't use any of the typical Firm gimmicks (my least favorite being the sculpting stick. ugh!) - posted by alicia on 3/17/2010 |

| It grows on you |
| I have been using the firm ever since the put out the wooden stepper. The first time I tried this video I got a little lost with the choreography, so I put it back on my shelf. Then I felt bored one day and I decided to give it another try and it grew on me. As an aero/tone video it is fairly balanced but not as heart pounding as their other videos. I use heavier weights to get a more challenging workout. I do enjoy it now because it gives me a break from my more intense videos (.e.g. Jillian, Jackie). - posted by Gilda on 1/23/2010 |

| One of my favorite from Alison! |
| I love this workout. I do it on days when I need to slow things a bit but still wanna get my body moving and get a good workout. It's low impact, toning and there's a kickboxing section which is my favorite. Alison's teaching style is great and motivating. A keeper! - posted by Ms. Dee on 1/19/2010 |

| Always in my rotation |
| I really enjoy this video. I go to this on days when I simply can't do Allison's Bootcamp Maximum Calorie Burn, but I still get a good workout. The sculpting segments actually raise my heart rate more than the cardio. To me this is an efficient, total body workout, and I always feeling great after doing it! - posted by Jessica on 12/26/2009 |

| Pretty good..mixed feelings |
| While I do like most of this workout mainly for cardio, I do find the second dancy segment of the video to be waaaayyy to easy. I usually have to run in place (butt kicks, knee ups) to keep my heart rate up during this. But the rest of video is very good especially the kick boxing at the end. You will definitely burn calories and get in some light toning. Nice to have in my rotation but not an immediate go to. Also, if you pop in a separate ab routine at the end it really feels like a complete workout. - posted by Stefanie on 12/22/2009 |

| I love this one and here is why |
| First, off, those writing negative reviews, keep in mind this is lower impact. If you would like it to have more impact, you can always add hops or plyos in areas of this workout. I do that if I want to "UP" the intensity of this workout, thus making it more advanced. I also use heavy weights, so this also "UPS" the workout. I love this one as it is all compound moves. I love to work lower and upper body at the same time. Saves time, and works everything, so I do not have to do an hour long, just weights, video. Alison is spot on with her cuing and there was no dread factor. Great job! - posted by Jill Sherry on 9/30/2009 |

| Love It, Love It, Love It! |
| First, let me say learning choreography is challenging for me. The instructor on this video has such superb cueing that it was very easy for me to learn. When I first previewed the dvd, I thought she talked a lot, but then I realized 98% of everything she said was instructional. Second, this workout was tough! My butt hurt for 2 days after I did it. Third, it is so much fun. It is my new favorite dvd and will be in constant rotation. It's just all around great! - posted by Michelle on 8/8/2009 |
