Remastered Firms - Worth It?

bubbles76 · 11-07-18, 09:26 AM

So Fitness Favorites is doing a tremendous sale on their dvds. I have about 10 Goodtimes Firms. Was wondering if I should ask Big Bubble or Mommy Bubble for an early Christmas present of remastered Firms. Or should I request other dvds or maybe 30 pound dumbbells? Other than chaptering, what's the biggest draw of the remastered Fitness Favorites Firms?

It's definitely the chaptering

Bubbles-plz post the link to the sale. Using Google I didn't come up with it.

Thanks!

bubbles76 · 11-07-18, 06:43 PM

Pam no link, just a code. Let me see if I can find it.

bubbles76 · 11-08-18, 03:04 PM

I had thought I was emailed the code, when it was actually on FB. Since I'm not sure if I should be sharing it publicly, I'll PM you.

Thanks for your thought Summer Breeze

Any other opinions?

Until 2015, most of my BBH and Goodtimes FIRMs were on VHS. When Gaiam decided to stop producing FIRMs, I realized I better start replacing them. I did the Goodtimes FIRMs first, since their availability was the lowest and I bought most of them from Amazon. But then I turned my attention to the BBH videos and fortunately Fitness Favorites was having a 50% off sale on sets like the Cross-Trainers and the Tri-Trainers. I replaced everything except my 6 compilations and 1 FIRM Basic. I felt so much better.

Thanks Carol! You went from VHS to DVD, definitely justified

The chaptering is definitely a draw, but along with that, the viewing sees clearer and the sound better. Just a better over quality than the Goodtimes version.

I own almost all of the Fitness Favorites re-mastered Firms, Original Fitprimes and of course the WHFN Fitprimes/Kickbutts. All are great.

I did a Google search and got to the FF Facebook page without even having to log in. Is this the code?

"...one week only, FF75 for 75% off of order. We are reducing our stock of DVDs."

Seems like public info to me.

bubbles76 · 11-09-18, 11:53 AM

Yes that's the code! I'm glad that it's public. I didn't think to do a Google search

I just remember back in the day when other instructors have made their codes private, so I didn't want to ruffle any feathers.
