Thanks for the info, Becca!

Chaptering! YAY!

So, you can order all 4 at a pre-release price, or volume 2 and 3 together at a pre-release price, but not Tortoise/Hare? That's mighty odd.

YW! :) I'm not sure why you can't preorder T/H alone. :confused: That is a good deal on all four of them, though. However, I'm not sure I need Sandahl's legs like a race horse on DVD.
 
One of the things that drove me nuts about The Firm was the constant stream of new props you had to buy. I had every step bench from the Transfirmer clear back to those old wooden steps (both the short and tall one's). I use the sculpting stick to balance when I do calf work on GSL but other than that, I have no new use for anything else. They could have found a ton of uses for the Transfirmer so it's a shame they were more interested in making money than building on what they started. The Wave looks like a fantastic device, to me. But you know if you buy the workouts this will be the last time you ever use it.

Funny, all those years I did The Firm I never noticed how robotic and scripted those ladies were until I read it here. But then, when I was a kid I never noticed Barbara Streisand had a big nose or Dolly Parton had big boobs... Sometimes, I'm a little slow to pick stuff up...
 
Howcome vol 1 isn't being re-released? I'd love a DVD version of that one.
It's old but really works! I'd get vol.3 since that was the only one I never managed to get.

You can order V2 and V3 at pre-release and/or Tortoise and Hare at pre-release and/or get all 4 at pre-release price. I hope this clarifies. I did get V6-Boomers on dvd. I have always thought this was a great one,especially those dang on hover squats. Anna did a great job by putting these on dvd.

Have 'em all ...

The "original" Firm and I go way back ... I pre-ordered Volume 1 back in 1987! And I bought everything that came out after that, but when they became the new-and-improved Firm (2000?), I fell out of love with the Firm and found Cathe's videos.

I'll probably get Tortoise and Hare, because I really like those. I'm less enthusiastic about Volume 2 and 3 (or whatever they're calling it these days). Even though I have a number of Firm workouts on DVD (no VHS player anymore), I still reach for Cathe's workout every time.

Thanks for the ordering info!

I emailed them about the T/H pre-release. I can't belive I'm going to ask for a Firm workout for Christmas. ;) I kind of got into home exercise waay back in HS with the Hare workout but could never find the Tortoise workout available. Kinda cool to think I have the option now.

Anyway, I emailed them with that question; I'll post again if I get an answer.

Volume 1 is on dvd and I think you can get it at www.firmdirect.com (I saw it just yesterday but I think it's renamed something else so you'll have to really look for it)

Be forwarned, Volume 1 is not chaptered. Only the ones that Anna are remaking are chaptered. And Anna can only remake the workouts that have yet to be put on DVD. If they are already on DVD (as Vol 1 and 4 are) we are stuck with what is out there.

Okay, so the deal is, you've got to send a check for T&H. It doesn't look like it's available online, but that's what Anna told me.

OMG how cool am I she wrote to me!!!! (LOL I'm such a nut-- and I can still tell you my first Cathe post, too!)
 
The Firm -wave workouts

Hi All,

I viewed the informercial on the firms' WEB site. It seems to me that most of the moves can be done on a bosu and/or wobble/core board. I already own a bosu and wobble board. I agree that the Firm always comes out with new gadgets for particular DVDs and then they do not utilize the gadgets again. They should sell the dvds without the cost of the gadgets included. I recently did the firm kettlebell workout. I borrowed the workout from a friend. I would not pay for the the workout because i already own kettlebells. The workout was just okay(very simplistic) but I prefer AOS Providence and AOS Newport for kettlebell work. I probably would try the Wave workouts but do not want to pay the cost of the wave board when i can already use what I have.

I also agree that the Firms cueing can be robotic at times. Anyway if any tries them when they are released, I would like to know your opinion.
