5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the Firm's best workouts and instructors., January 8, 2008
This review is from: The Firm: Total-Body Shaping Mix (DVD)
Some people may be confused by the title of this workout. It was previously released as a "Tri-trainer all weights" workout with a cover including multiple firm instructors. The only one presented in this video is the one on the posted cover, Tracey Long. I would compare her to Karen Voight or Gin Miller. Having done virtually every workout and seen nearly every instructor, Tracey is far and away one of the best. If you are a fan of "perky, enthusiastic, cheerleader-type instructors, she is not for you". Tracey is methodical, precise, gives excellent cues and tips on technique with little spoken encouragement. That, however, doesn't matter. You will be working hard and sweating hard and won't want to hear someone yelling "you can do this". This is a great, total-body workout that incorporates some small cardio sections. The instruction is clear and solid and the workout is very effective for a 45 minute format. There are harder workouts from the FIRM, and lighter. This one is probably middle-of-the road. Give it a try!

FIRST RATE: flawless, serious, comprehensive, fun., May 29, 2011
This review is from: The Firm: Total-Body Shaping Mix (DVD)
A first rate, serious, comprehensive & fun DVD. Excellent music. Tracey Long and all other instructors in this DVD are calm, poised---genuine master instructors. No obnoxious drill-instructor theatrics here. No "fancy footwork" /complicated fast dancey moves/choreography. I do this easily and I have two left feet. It's 57 minutes without the warm-up. Zero dread factor. I use it twice a week (along w a Cathe DVD). Amazing & dramatic body reshaping....(less cellulite, LIFTED BUNS) within weeks!

Great total body burn, October 11, 2010
This review is from: The Firm: Total-Body Shaping Mix (DVD)
I'll admit, it takes a few workouts to get some of the foot work down in the cardio sections, but once you get the hang of it, you'll have sweat dripping everywhere. This is one of my favorite firm videos. The cardio sections can be very intense, because many contain plyometrics, and if you do them right, you'll feel an insane burn. Not for the beginner or for those who won't put the effort in... you have to be serious about this workout to get results.
