I am sorry to hear about this. I was not active on the boards but enjoyed reading them. I will miss the monthly rotations in particular. Does anyone know if they will be archived and available anywhere?

I was not into the newer FIRMS, even though I tried to like them. It's a relief to know the all of Anna's work was returned to her company before Gaiam decided to make this change. I believe Anna B. FIRMS would have been put in a vault, never to see the light of day, had they stayed with this company.

Yay for Annette and the team for keeping them safe and available.

HI CAROL!!!

I'm not on Facebook - just don't like it. But maybe I'll re-activate my account just to join Emily's Firm page though.

I was thinking about how to remain "in contact" with everyone from over there - other than here on VF.

The Firm is how I got started in my home exercising venture many many years ago. I haven't done a workout from them in ages, but it's sad to see them go....

x2!

I agree that it is sad to see them go and to hear that there won't be any new workouts. Then again, I didn't like The Wave or Firm Express and didn't want The Zip Trainer even at $24...so I guess it doesn't matter. Thank goodness for Annette! My collection of Firms that I like and want is complete thanks to her and Fitness Favorites.

I don't know about that, but there will be new rotations posted on The Firm-Emily Facebook page.

The important message finally showed up on the club homepage.

For years, my favorite recipes and menu plans have come from the Firm website. I've printed most of them out, and plan to finish that before it shuts down.

Thanks, Carol K, for the referral to the Firm-Emily FB page -- and the hope of further rotations.

I didn't mind the Firm when it was under the Goodtimes umbrella (though I preferred BBH music). I just couldn't get into the Gaiam Firms, though I do own a few. Never joined the website. Still I'm sorry to see them go. Many began their fitness journey with the Firm, and it's the end of an era.
