Sports reviews of The Firm Sculpting System
Customer Review: Still burning months later!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This 3-In-1 Body Sculpting System is tough, but a great workout for beginners and advanced fitness buffs, too. The DVD consists of Cardio Sculpt (55 min), Body Sculpt (45 min), and Ab Sculpt (25 min). Body Sculpt is broken into two workouts, Upper Body and Lower Body that can be played individually or together.
I've found I get easily discouraged with DVD workouts because they are:
1. So fast I can't keep up.
2. So complicated I get discouraged or
3. They spend too much time telling me how hot I am going to be and not enough time explaining the moves!
Well, this DVD was made for people like me! The workouts consist of multiple instructors, and there is always one performing beginner modifications and another performing intermediate modifications. The workouts incorporate weights, but beginners can still complete all the moves without weights and get a good workout. I am currently using 1, 3, and 5 pound weights. I also wear 1 pound wrist weights throughout the duration of the workouts.
Worried the workouts will get boring? Switch them up. Worried they will get too easy? Increase the weights. It's been a few months now and I am still dropping fat (and weight), looking toned, and still sore after each workout!
Customer Review: Beats the pants off regular step aerobics
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I love the Firm workouts, especially ones with the Fanny Lifter (I have several others besides the one that came with this set). Before I had kids I kept in shape with running and cardio machines at the gym, but now with three kids four and under, I can't get out as easily. This workout program gives you maximun benefits for your time, you really do notice results after a few workouts, and you can keep them challenging by upping your weights. I've really come to believe in the interval strength training model for fitness and long-term weight management. I've lost and kept off 30 pounds for 8 years using Firm workouts combined with yoga on off days and they have helped me get back into my clothes after three babies. I like the cardio and toning videos that came with the set. I don't really use the ab workout, because I prefer other yoga/pilates dvds I have for core work. Before I found the Firm I did other step aerobic routines, but nothing kicks your butt like the Fanny Lifter. If you are unfamiliar with step aerobics, it might take a while to get the hang of the routines, and even if you are familiar, a new routine takes a while to learn and get used to. Don't give up if it seems overwhelming at first.Customer Review: Effective, motivating workout
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I enjoy the aerobics and weights classes at my gym more than working out without an instructor. I bought this system because I didn't want to continue to spend on gym classes. The cardio and body sculpt workouts are very similar to my gym workouts, although about 10 minutes shorter. However, they work-- I can feel the difference in my energy levels and strength after about 8 workouts. I have also lost nearly an inch off my waist.
I do have some complaints-- the ab workout video isn't very challenging. The warmup is too long and overall, it feels about 2-3 exercises too short. I pause the video in places and do an extra set or two of the exercises. The other two workouts are moderately challenging. All the workouts are enjoyable. The fanny lifter serves its purpose-- I feel comfortable using it. I'd like to find more workouts that use the fanny lifter. Any suggestions?
Customer Review: You MUST buy this!!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this set when it first came out seven years ago (packaging looks different but equipment and dvds are the same). It was three times as much back then and worth every penny. This price is an absolute steal for what you are getting. It has everything you will need to change your body, right down to the meal plan. You will never outgrow this system as you can add more weight as needed. The instructors are fanstastic and the workouts will get your heart-pumping and leave you sore (there's also a beginner modification). They advertise you will see results in ten workouts or less (I saw definate results in body after eight). Put your money here, you will not be disappointed!Customer Review: I only wish it was on DVD at this price!

I've had this set, purchased for twice this cost at Target, for about 4 years. It helped me to lose about 40 pounds in six months. I have NEVER been one to exercise, especially anything aerobic. Once I got the hang of the steps, it was a breeze. (I am not especially coordinated!) The quick results are highly motivating.
The Firm tapes are not perfect. Sometimes the transitions are too fast, but I know when to hit the pause button while I pick up the weights I need, or to move the fanny lifter. I would also like some better music. But basically, I like the ability to work at different levels, and the motivating instructors.
