TOUGH but great workout! August 29, 2025 Reviewer: BalletBaddie from Nashville, TN   I’m a ballerina and I bought this dvd to mix up my training routine. Don’t let the fun, cheesy 80’s vibe fool you- this was tough for me and I take several ballet classes a week! If you’re new to weight training like me, you will need to modify some of the exercises. Instead of running in place, try marching or using a small step.  I started out with 3-5lb dumbbells and body weight, and still got a great beginner-friendly workout. Stay consistent, and you’ll find yourself picking up heavier weights in no time. I like the variety of exercises and how I can get a complete, challenging workout in only an hour at home. The retro vibe and vintage styling is just tons of fun to watch too! If you’re bored of your exercise routine or looking to level up your fitness game, you won’t regret adding this dvd to your collection. Was this review helpful to you?

one of the best workouts ever made July 1, 2020 Reviewer: Ann from Florida   I am a certified personal trainer and have been working out since, well since this workout was first made.  I highly recommend this.  Be prepared to work hard, but you can also modify as needed, or even use no weights at all to start out with.  This workout makes use of compound moves and mixing cardio in with weights for a very effective routine.  I now have over 150 workout DVDs by a variety of trainers in my collection and train clients, but I still come back to this one for its unique exercise routine.  Any level of exerciser can do this, whether modifying or maxing the effort out.  Highly recommend.  I totally believe this is one of the best workouts ever made and it will stay in my top 10 permanently.

I can see why others consider it the BEST December 10, 2017 Reviewer: Kristie from Decatur, GA United States   I remember the original Firm workouts when they first came out in the 80s, but I never did them back then. When they were re-released, I thought I would not like them because of the dated set and clothing. I was wrong! Firm Vol 1 is an outstanding workout, ahead of its time and it holds up well. The firs time I did it, I had been working out regularly. Wow! This is KILLER.  I could not do it with heavy weights, ankle weights or all the repetitions. As hard as it is, I can see growing old with this. Was this review helpful to you?

The best home workout ever May 7, 2017 Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Alberta, Canada   After I barely got through this workout the first time I did it, I became very motivated to master it. It is a tough workout and one that is a lot of fun with many different moves to keep it interesting. I love this workout and will keep it in my rotation forever. Was this review helpful to you?

An oldie but a goodie July 24, 2014 Reviewer: Poecat from Villa Rica, GA   I absolutely love this video.  I always feel that I have truly accomplished something after I am done.  It is a tough workout , but the cardio is basic, no chorography to learn.  It works every body part while keeping my heart rate up.  One thing I especially like is that I am able to go heavy on the weights.  Many of the Firm classics go so fast that you have to lighten the weights.  It has a long effective floor work section that I love.  It has never failed to give me DOMS.  This was my first exercise video and I still use it almost 20 years later.  You can lighten the weights for beginners or go heavy for advanced. I am so glad it is now on DVD. Was this review helpful to you?

I actually was a little disappointed in this... July 4, 2014 Reviewer: Anonymous Person from United States   I actually was a little disappointed in this and maybe it's because I have heard such great things about this. What I did like was Susan is a great instructor, all the moves are actually choreographed to the music and there is a lot of stretching between moves and this workout is tough which is all good. The floor work I thought was especially difficult. But what I didn't like was a lot of the aerobic portion was jogging--I don't need a workout to do that. I just wish they had done a few other things instead the jogging. Otherwise this is a good solid workout that if done little by little, most people should be able to eventually do.

the best September 5, 2012 Reviewer: vero from italy   wow what a fabulous workout. It was just what I was looking for! I did the workout two days ago and still have pain, shame that came out after the summer, otherwise I would have been ready for a bikini body with this. In a month I have my brother's wedding and with this I'm sure I will arrive in top form. these are better than the classic firm new firm with them even though I have achieved wonderful results. thanks the firm Was this review helpful to you?

Vintage Classic At It's Best August 17, 2012 Reviewer: TinaT. from WA   This is such a well orchestrated routine with great music and superb queing. This is the first workout that motivated me into fitness and using video/dvds. This remastered version is beautiful and smart with chaptering options.  I'm so pleased to have it back into my collection. A+++++++ Was this review helpful to you?
