I'm just thankful that Annette and the rest of the Fitness Favorite team was able to finish all the titles and give them back soooo well remastered, after Anna's passing. They really are treasures.

I wish they’d make dvds again. I’d buy without the case, just the dvd. There are many titles I’d like to get on dvd that I have on VHS. Cardio Step Mix is one…

I have very few compilations and I didn't replace any of them on DVD. I found I preferred to do the original workouts.

I would love for Fitness Favorites to "open the vault" for a limited time and produce dvds again. And yes, I would buy them in a cardboard sleeve if it helped save cost.

Cardio Step Mix
Tough Tape
Tortoise
Hare
Cardio
Strength

....and the list goes on. LOL

In 2015, when Gaiam shut down the FIRM web site, I realized I wouldn't be buying anymore new DVDs and at the same time Fitness Favorites had this great sale on FIRM DVD sets, so that's why I chose that time to replace all my VHS. And I also bought more acrylic DVD racks at the Container Store and they are not selling those anymore either. 2015 was a year of transition.

Carol ~ 2015 doesn't seem so long ago and yet there has been so much change in the fitness industry in reference to how we receive our workouts.

I remember way back in the VHS era being excited about the clamshell cases the Firms came in, instead of the cardboard sleeves. It caused such a frenzy of excitement and chatter. LOL Now the excitement comes of our favorite instructors steaming their workouts online and if we're lucky, offering a dvd now and then.

Time really does fly.

OMG! I'll have to check out the BeMax workouts. I loved the pink FIRM workouts.

Speaking of Pink Firms...I previewed Total Body Toner w/Allie as I was rebounding today. (I'm so late to the party). LOL This workout was all about my love language of 4-limb/compound moves. So simple with just weights on days ya just don't want to pull out all the equipment.

I've got it planned for my Thursday workout.

That's what I love about a lot of the Gaiam FIRMs. So many just use weights.
