Results, results, results!!

Ignore the 80's style, cheesy music..and MAN..you will have that GREAT toned body in such a short time!!

DO NOT BE FOOLED!! This one is HARD, thourough, complete, and one of the BEST total body workouts EVER!! I have owned this one since I was 16--I am 30 years old now!! This workout NEVER gets old (besides our ever-changing styles of clothing and makeup)..this one is PERFECT!!

My ONLY complaint..is that the warmup/cool downs are TOO LONG.but I'm leaving my 5 stars because I simply fast forward the long warmup--and do my own. :)

Please, please invest in this workout...you won't be sorry. And the way you will see results won't leave you feeling dissapointed. I havn't ever seen one bad review on the Classics in ages. This is perfect for beginners, AND advanced. Infact, advanced exercisers never stop loving this video (such as myself). I wish more workouts would be made like this one..such fantastic and visable results..actually in LESS then 10 workouts!!

Simply a classic and a fortune for your body. :)

This is the best workout ever and I'm so excited that it's finally on DVD. Everything about this workout is quality. The music, the timing, the sequencing, the BEST!!! It is from the 80's, but if you can get over the clothes, it's an amazing workout. Sandahl Bergman will kick your butt! (and you'll love it!)

This is my go-to video when I want a serious workout. Don't be fooled by the 1980's workout gear. Sandhal Bergman leads this video and she is a professional dancer but she's tough. She looks all innocent in the video except she's killing you the whole time. This video is an interval workout where by cardio and weights are used (sometimes together). Its a one-stop-shop for the whole body. After this workout you will not need to do another workout one to supplement it. Its all here and you will be dripping in sweat by the end. The video not only tests your strength but your endurance.

This workout will kick your butt! I love Sandahl Bergman - she is flirty with the camera all the time killing you with one of the best workouts ever made. The first Firm videos (Vol 1-6) are all time greats. This video introduces the tall step (renamed the Fanny Lifter - Ugh).

Anna Benson is now dead but she left a legacy of groundbreaking videos that have stood the test of time.

At some point ALL fitness videos will look and sound dated - but that should not detract from the quality of the workout. This video is not for the faint of heart and it will kick your butt!

I am an avid user of Cathe, owning most every workout post 1994, and the Classic Firm compliments Cathe's workouts so well.

Forget the JUNK that the Firm sells today - that is only a name with cheesy informercial junk equipment and cheesier instructors.

A few of the instructors (Kelsie Daniels, Allie Pointer, and Sue Mi Powell) were trained by Anna Benson. I am ashamed to see how badly they have deteriorated.

But back to this video - get it and get a wonderful physique. You won't be sorry.

RIP Anna - I hope some day you are nominated into the Fitness Hall of Fame. You broke ground in the world of video workouts.

I started doing The Firm workout in the 80's. I remember then you had to prepaid your order for the "video", in order for the company to produce it, since it had no finanical backing!I own all the classic Firm workouts.They are the best. I am so happy that they are now available on DVD format.Vol.3, I find to be the most chalenging.The downside is that it contains a lot of high impact aerobics,which of course is now said to be hard on your joints.I usually adjust them to low impact, especially now since I am 30 years older since I first started! One frined told me that I looked "Firmer"! I was hooked!

Love these old workouts. I would love to find one of the newer firm DVD's that come close to the old ones. - Still looking..

I have the original Video for VCR in the clambox but the VCR is getting phased out so I am glad to have it on DVD. You never know when the tape is going to break anyway,
I love the Firm original classic series
they are the best and the most effective workout tapes ever created

I used this video right after i had my son in 1996. I lost 90 lbs! i was using Phen/Fen and ate very little...(not recommended).This is hard core!!! My sister came over yesterday to workout with me. She was laughing so hard at the music for the first 3 min. then we were sweating and dying! If you are serious buy this. I am also using the Firm Express and my body is changing fast. I have not weighed but i need to..and measure as well.Sandahl's cues are the best. the moves are slower and longer. I like that. I hate the flailing of other videos. This is a must if you r serious. Good luck, Julie

I've learned more about how to handle weights and dumbbells with these FIRM training videos and DVDs than anywhere else. Technique is important to me and I think it has kept me from getting myself hurt mishandling weights.

I'm not a lover of high-impact workouts, so in warm-ups, etc., I opt out of anything like jumping jacks, etc., and just keep moving my own way. This workout is tough, but even as a total novice with weight training, it wasn't overwhelming to me. I knew I wasn't going to be perfect the first time I did it, and I wasn't. It was a good workout.

I bought the VHS of this years ago. When I joined the YMCA they were amazed at my stregnth and stamina. And it was all becauseof the Firm workouts. I like the classics and even Tortoise & Hare but after that, they seemed to become more about props and just another work out.
