Firm: Bootcamp Maximum Calorie Burn |
 I lost the baby weight fast! |
| I had a baby five months ago and gained a lot of weight not only in my stomach but in my legs and butt. I was certain I would never get my old body back (which I was not loving anyways). So new to The Firm videos, I decided to give this one a try. Wow!!! It worked!!! I have already lost all of the baby weight plus more. Everyday I get questions about how I lost the weight so fast! I tell them about this video. I am in my pre wedding size. This is a great video for an intermediate. It is not too long or difficult and the time goes by fast. I have been doing it for a while now and I think it is time for me to move on to a new Firm video but I highly recommend this one. - posted by Katie on 11/11/2008 |

| This workout is literally the best |
| I have had this workout as my number one go-to for over a year. There is no other workout in my collection that feels as efficient as this one. it ALWAYS gives me that "awesome workout" feeling, regardless of the fact that I've been doing it forever. I love the recipe of plyo/strength segments alongside cardio segments. It really is so efficient and I WISH they would come out with a part II that is structured in a likewise way. P.S. Sadly, I assumed that all Allison lead workouts would be equally awesome, but I was wrong. The rest are all wimpy and lame comparatively. Disappointing! - posted by mo on 10/26/2008 |

 Great Workout!!! |
| I first watched the workout dvd and thought it to look boring. Well, after I started doing it and sweating up a storm I thought different. Very good workout. It kept my heartbeat going. I usually do the turbo jam cardio party, but I will start doing The Firm more often. It really felt like more of a workout, even without the dumbbells. I gave it four stars because they kept showing the beginning girl when they told us to move to the advanced moves. Other than that, I would suggest you give it a go! I am 25, former college two sport athlete. I think it will work for any fitness level. - posted by Shavon on 10/24/2008 |

| Good overall workout! |
| I always feel good after I finish this one. I feel that I get a good cardio workout with a good amount of toning for one of my non-lifting days. Alison, as usual, is a great instructor and makes the workout enjoyable and easy to follow. I definitely recommend adding this one to the collection. - posted by Christi on 9/24/2008 |

| My favorite firm video |
| This is my favorite firm video in my very extensive collection. Allison is definitely my favorite instructor. The only thing I would say is a problem in this one is each time they show the advanced move for the first. The camera goes right to Su Mi who does the low impact modifications. So you don't see right away what they do for high impact. Which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that it is another excellent video! - posted by Laura on 9/6/2008 |

| Beautiful |
| A no nonsense workout, fun and challenging. It really kept my heart rate up. I´ve been doing the firm for 10 years now and it has helped me stay in shape or get back in shape after each of my three pregnancies. I highly recommend this one. - posted by Diana on 9/4/2008 |

| Tough Workout |
| One of the main reasons I like this workout is because it's not too dancy. The choreography is easy to follow, but intense enough to make you sweat! I'd like to see a Maximum Boot Camp II, III, etc. The only thing that bothers me is the camera work. I'm at the advanced level, and the camera focused too much on the beginner. Also, when critical leg work was being done, the camera shifted to the upper body! The camera needs to be better synchronized with the workout. This is the only reason I didn't rate this a 5. - posted by Myra on 9/4/2008 |

| feeling it |
| great workout.alison did a fine job and i loved the going back and forth with the toning and cardio.far as the repeating of the cardio...what cardio is'nt repetitive. i don't know any.as another reviewer stated,these are instuctional videos.they encouraged you to go heavy or give it all you got.and as far as cathe,her w/o's are mainly for strength and endurance. i.too,thought the firm was for weight loss.my hr was up and i was glowing[as tamilee calls sweating]lol.i have not upped the pounds that they use in the video.do not feel the need to.I have other workouts to go heavy.any way,time seemed to pass quickly and i had fun doing the w/o.i did not do all the plyos because of my knees,but i still put my all into it.this will be in my rotation.and i did not care about the rating [inter/advan]...if i feel i'm going to enjoy it that is good enough for me.i like and use the firm because i have lost alot of weight,still have a way to go,but i'm loving the results that i'm getting.so with all that said..great job alison. - posted by tracy on 8/31/2008 |

| Great Workout!!! |
| This dvd was only my second Firm dvd and after 3 months it still makes me sweat like crazy. I'm at an intermediate to advance level and I'm the kind of person that wants to get the most out of my workout, and this dvd does just that for me. Everytime I do it I'm literally dripping sweat by the end, and Alison is really modivating. I've been getting nothing but compliments on my tone thanks to this dvd. - posted by Krista on 8/6/2008 |

| Sweating will take place |
| Don't listen to the naysayers - this workout will keep you challenged even if you do it on a regular basis - the plyo moves and cardio clearly get the instructor winded/sweating at moments and she's in fabulous shape - I really can't believe these reviewers who are saying they just "barely broke a sweat". Unless you are superhuman you will sweat with this workout (that is if you're putting your all into it) I'm a 32 y/o woman 5'5 130 lbs and I work out in earnest for an hour every day, often including this workout - it always feels like an accomplishment afterwards and I rely on it as my calorie burner on days where it seems necessary. The only lackluster part of this workout is the cooldown at the end. The ab moves are good but I never feel like I've stretched out my body especially well by the end of it all, so I usually just do my own add-on stretches independently or use the stretch segments from other firm dvds. - posted by Danielle on 8/3/2008 |
