Firm Infomercials - blasts from the past!
i came across this today - there was a time when i had recorded this on my VCR, and i'd go back and watch it. i bought the BSS1 kit from either the infomercial or QVC, i think, with 3 VHS tapes and the FL. eventually, i got the DVD version, and still have my original FL with all of the rubber feet intact!
Enjoy! Part 1 - 9 min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0cMYIVFw8I Part 2 - 10 min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7TNIJUobXg Part 3 - 8 min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lLCpOHXqD0

i bought the BSS2 DVDs separately and used a weighted bar that i already owned. later on, someone on craigslist was selling a sculpting stick from BSS2 along with BSS1/2 DVDs, which i already owned. i was able to negotiate $5 for just the sculpting stick! i was so happy!
BSS2 infomercial - audio very good but video is blurry: Part 1 - 9 min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFnE9sV3_pw Part 2 - 10 min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOsS0q5AM2w Part 3 - 10 min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znKlEwToBNM

BSS3 Infomercial
the threads about this system, specifically the death box, scared me from getting it. the sheer price was cost prohibitive. i got one of the DVDs - Express, with Stephanie Huckabee, but it turned me off, so i traded it. see next post regarding BSS4 for a continuation of my narrative.

BSS4 Infomercial:
this was really exciting - the Firm Transfirmer (TF)! however, shipping to my state was cost-prohibitive. my lucky day was seeing the basic kit on craigslist, with its original box! so i picked up everything for something like $35 - 3 DVDs and the TF! i traded for all of the add-ons (Jiggle Free Abs, Buns, Arms), and they're all really good, especially the ones with Pam Cauthen Merriwether. revisiting BSS3 - the BSS4 TF motivated me to consider revisiting the BSS3 workouts..... using the TF from BSS4! the first BSS3 DVD i traded for was i think Fat Blasting Cardio with Lisa Kay. i slowly traded for the rest, and Express Cardio last. VFers gave me a huge tip - to point the TF toward the TV rather than stand "profile" the way the camera filmed the instructors.

here is a picture of all angles of The Firm box, including the underside: https://picclick.com/The-Firm-Box-Ad...500813450.html this product was unlike the wooden "tall boxes" shown in the firm "classics." later on, the Transfirmer (from BSS4), was a different design in that it was a 2-piece step: the bottom piece was slightly larger than the top piece, providing a more stable stepping platform.
