Search - The Firm: Ultimate Fat-Burning Collection on DVD

Misleading information in description...

"I just got this DVD, and although I have not used it to work out yet, I did skim through the menu and each workout, and I did not see the 25-minute "Express" option with either Cardio Overdrive or Cardio Sculpt Fusion, nor did I find the bonus workout "Hit Every Muscle in 5 Minutes" with the Pump, Jump 'n Jab workout. Confused by this, I called The Firm customer service line and spoke with a representative who told me that those extra options are not included on this DVD...even though they are mentioned in all the descriptions, including the ones on the back of the DVD itself.

So...if you are looking for quick workouts, this DVD does not include them. I typically do not do express workouts, but if I had ordered this DVD with the intention of having short and long workouts, I would have been very disappointed. I just wanted to warn potential customers."

Yet More Misleading from The Firm

"I like that I got 4 workouts for only slightly more than the price of one. All in all, they are good heart-rate boosting workouts, though they carry the usual level of high impact and abrupt torquing movements with inadequate guidance that is typical of The Firm. That said, if you are independently trained in lunges, squats and integrated weighted movements, you can get a nice sculpting and fat burning workout on. I use these workouts frequently, and Kelsie Daniels is my favourite!

The 2 problems I have (one star deducted for each) is that a) as other people have mentioned, the express options promised to you on the back of the DVD are not included, and b) I don't think that Cardio Sculpt Fusion is the correct workout. It doesn't match the description fully, and Emily Welsh calls it something else at the end of the workout (something with the word "light" in it!).

Not very challenging, except Kelsie's

"Buy this strictly for Kelsie's workout. Haven't done all yet, just Allion's and Kelsie's. Allison's other DVD is MUCH better (bootcamp maximum calorie burn)...this one of hers is pretty lame. I am hoping the other ones are good too. Kelsie's session is very very good....love the kickboxing moves!"

Good Mix of Workouts

"I really like the fact that there are 4 workouts on one DVD-worth the money and space saved. However, I will agree with other reviewers that it was disappointing the express options were not featured despite what the DVD description says. However, the workouts are good. I especially like Cardio Overdrive and Cardio Sculpt Fusion. Overall, I recommend despite the lack of express options."
