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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Firm Transfirmer Series, November 21, 2006

By 

Leslie M. "Home Workout Chick" (Hollywood, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Firm TransFIRMer (Sports)

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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful At Home Workout, April 26, 2007

To those who are new to step as I was, don't get frustrated! The footwork may seem very fast and confusing at first. Just keep doing it; the steps WILL come to you eventually. At that point you will really begin to enjoy all that this series has to offer. The longest of the three videos has a 55 minute running time. The other two run for 45 and 35 minutes. I'm amazed at how quickly the time goes!

This is the most enjoyable workout I've ever done. I find that I am not sore the next day because of the adequate warm ups and cool downs. However, watch that non modified "side plank" move! To avoid strain, your body must be perfectly aligned, with the elbow directly beneath the shoulder and the feet perfectly parallel, aligned and on top of one another.

The Transfirmer series features CALM, polished instructors, accurate cueing, good music, correct counts, adequate warmups and cool downs, weights, aerobics, upper/lower body work, abs AND stretching in ONE pleasant session. There is a thoroughness and consistancy that I have found to be missing from many other exercise videos.

My ONLY complaint is the bulkiness of the Transfirmer. There's not much time allotted on the dvd to move it from one position to the next. Because of its size and the rubber stabilizing treads, you must lift it to move it rather than drag it. This could be helped by placing handholds or holes on the sides units to make them easier to lift. Once positioned, it's also critical to make sure that the two units are joined properly so that you don't go flying! I'm getting quicker at this, but I still miss the first few reps sometimes.

Please note that for maximum effectiveness you will also need to purchase a set of 3, 5, and 8 lb dumbells. I prefer weights with longer necks as many exercises require you to place the weights on your shoulders.

I've tried many of the most popular exercise videos. This one is BY FAR the best. The claims are true. Done as directed, you will see and feel a noticeable difference in your muscle tone and definition after the first ten sessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The TransFirmer changed my life!, June 12, 2007

By 

loubelou (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Firm TransFIRMer (Sports)

I purchased the TransFirmer almost one year ago and have been faithfully working out with it ever since. It is by far the best workout I've ever done. The Firm is difficult in the beginning, but by sticking to it I've reaped some awesome results. I lost almost 30 lbs in 6 months. I went from a very tight size 12 to a very loose size 6. Sometimes I even fit in a size 4. You have to be willing to stick with this and set your mind to learning the steps. My clothes were looser within the first 3 workouts and by the 10th workout I'd lost 8 lbs. I've weighed the same as I do now, but could barely squeeze into a size 8. With the Firm I've gained precious muscle and am now smaller than I've ever been my entire adult life, even though I've weighed less than this. I'd been a skinny fat person and now the Firm has made me a truly fit person.

I feel I've found my workout for life. I'm 39 years old and have exercised off and on my entire life. I'm in the best shape of my life. The aerobic weight training is so efficient. The Firm is the only exercise I need to stay in great shape.
