Like Kat, I use my zip trainer for other workouts, although I never use the Zip Trainer workouts themselves. I recently did a Jessica Smith Walk Strong (original) rotation and one of those workouts uses a chair with the advanced mods shown on the floor (plank/pushup work) - I use the unzipped trainer to get "in between" the chair & floor positions. I use it for pushups in other workouts sometimes too. I use the inner ball for some Gilad workouts that call for a medicine ball.

I also actually really like the workouts that came with it and the bonus workouts too. They seem to have been aiming for a HIIT-like format with shorter, 15 minute workouts, and I will get a good workout if I string two or three workouts together. I like the variety of trainers and feel like they put a lot of thought into creativity but still effectiveness with this series. It would have been nice to see more content, but you can probably say that about many Firm systems or workouts with gadgets that they've sold over the years. I like that the DVDs can easily be programmed to stack the workouts since by themselves they are pretty short. I like that there are separate warm up/cool downs so that the 15 minute individual workouts are all real workout time. By comparison I have tried to get into the Wave step and workouts and it just seems clunky and not nearly as versatile as the zip trainer, although I like the more classic longer AWT-style Firm style workouts with the Wave system. I'm not one to purge and hopefully one day I'll fall in love with the wave. As it is, I use my fanny lifter step and transfirmer step each at least once a week or more too!

I was wondering when I used it the other day, does anyone know how much each ball weighs? Thanks!

I mean, I think it's fun and cute, and as the final real FIRM-branded workouts ever released, it's something of a collectors' item. If you like Allie, Emily, Stephanie, Allison, and Kelsie, and if you like short, customizable HIIT workouts, you should definitely get it.

I have the Zip Trainer and all the workouts that use it and I do them regularly. But if I didn't use them anymore, I would be get rid of them. For the person who asked about the weight of the balls, the small blue ball that comes with deluxe kit is 7 lbs.
