The FIRM Total Body TransFIRMation Kit
Shape, tone, and strengthen your body with the Firm’s Total Body TransFIRMation kit. Equipped with a set of Firm CardioWeights, 210 minutes of workout programming on DVD, a 48-page Weight Loss Success Guide, and a custom carrying case, the kit will melt away the fat and reshape your body in no time. CardioWeights are the Firm’s most effective fitness tool yet, with a pair of 1-pound handles and 8 pounds of additional weight, letting you customize your workout depending on your strength or fitness goals. By combining the body sculpting weights with a fat-burning cardio routine, you can burn up to three times more fat than cardio alone. Simply pick your resistance level for each workout–the weights screw easily onto the handles in a clockwise motion–and increase the resistance as you become stronger, leaner, and more confident. Even better, the handles and weights are designed to work exclusively with the Firm’s unique blend of aerobic and body sculpting exercises. When used in conjunction with the Firm Master Instructor’s directions, you will begin toning and burning fat immediately.
The Total Body TransFIRMation kit comes with the following workout DVDs.
- Hi-Def Sculpt: Taught by Annie Lee, Hi-Def Sculpt provides the perfect introduction to the Firm’s body shaping exercises at a slower pace. The DVD includes upper and lower body moves designed to maximize effectiveness while minimizing your time commitment. It runs 45 minutes and includes a 25-minute “express” option.
- Hard Core Fusion: Allie Del Rio Pointer demonstrates an innovative hybrid of aerobics and weight training with body-transforming power. Allie guides you through high-energy cardio and distinctive body sculpting exercises that will give you the lean, strong body of your dreams. The DVD runs for 55 minutes with a 35-minute “express” option.
- Cardio Overdrive: Allison Davis’s Cardio Overdrive will kick your weight loss into high gear. The DVD features unique low-impact cardio and body shaping exercises that burn calories both during and after this dynamic workout. Users will tone their legs, arms, and waist to the high-energy beat with easy-to-follow steps and Allison’s expert coaching. Cardio Overdrive is a 45-minute heart-pumping, fat-burning workout, with a 25-minute “express” option.

User Ratings and Reviews
2 Stars Not much of a TransFIRMation
I typically have very good things to say about The Firm series, but these DVDs are just okay. The Cardio Party quite honestly just sucks!! Absolutely no new moves. How many times must we do the tri-star or low jacks?? I get so bored with Annie Lee’s segment, I just want to fall asleep. For those that have used The Firm might be a little frustrated with the same moves taught by Emily in her other videos. I only use Cardio Party when I travel because it is so very basic that it can be easily done in the hotel room.
The other three videos are a little bit more challenging. I do like some of the moves in Cardio Overdrive. Annie Lee is very annoying to listen to in her DVD so I can only do the 25-minute version.
Overall, if you don’t have any of the other Firm DVDs, this is a good option. But if you have been using The Firm for awhile, have low expectations.
4 Stars Great Workout for the $$$
I needed to loose weight because I’m in a wedding and have to wear a strapless dress (of all things) but I also wanted to tone up and develop some muscle,too. I started out doing Walk Away the Pounds - 4 and 5 mile walks along with walking 2 to 3 miles at night on my treadmill. This combination helped me lose a few pounds, but I wanted more. I bought this kit, and so far have only done 4 workouts but can really feel and see a difference. I must say that even though I was doing 7 miles a day, my first run through with these videos was a little tough because the moves are so quick. I wouldn’t recommend that anyone who’s just beginning an execise regime jump right into this program. I gave it 4 stars because the weights are not that great quality wise. I have to keep tightening them throughout my workout, and I’ll have to buy another weight set to double them up. Also, I have tile floors and they keep rolling away on me. lol I think I’ll just buy a separate weight set - but you get 4 DVD’s in this set so it’s deffinately worth it!!!! Oh, and it comes with a one month calendar filled out with which workouts to do on what days so you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
3 Stars Says 8 lbs of weight - somewhat misleading
4 lbs are handles - unless you have 4 hands - I don’t see how you can use them. Even according to the diagram included there isn’t a way to use 8lbs. For 2 hands you can use up to 3 lbs each. You can alternatively get up to 5 lbs for one handed exercises. There doesn’t seem to be any way to use 8 lbs.
5 Stars Great Workout!
I am an exercise beginner and this program kicks my butt. I find it to be VERY challenging. I have alot of weight to lose and am losing weight and feeling much better and more energetic since beginning this program. The tapes provide instruction for beginners as well as for more advanced exercises. I really like that there are 4 dvds to choose from so there is alot of variety. I do wish there would have been a wider range of weights included but overall, I give it 5 stars.
4 Stars Great product
I was a gym rat for years and was interested in cardio and weight lifting. Recently with my job and other life changes I am unable to get to the gym and workout like I used to. I have always felt I would feel silly following a workout video in my own home, but I was really surprised when I popped in the DVDs and could follow most of the direction. The videos are intense but not so much that I’m searching for the IBProfen bottle afterwards. I really enjoy being able to workout in my pajamas in the comfort of my own home, and hit the shower right after. The only complaint I have is that the pack comes with 2 sets of 1 lb handles and only 4 1 lb weights that you twist onto the handles (in other words you can assemble two 3 lb weights or one 5 lb weight, but you will have an extra set of handles that are useless. They do include a flyer to buy more of their weights for around $30 extra dollars). However, if you are thinking about getting this kit you will definitely work up a good sweat even if you use no weights.
