Loud and not very useful
1/12/2008 - Jewel of Oregon, USA writes:
I bought this product and it took me a few hours to put together. You need plenty of space and is *very* awkward to move (the foot pedals don't lock but are always free moving). There is only 2 ways to use this: free moving or with resistance--but only with one level of resistance. You connect the pumps to the pedals/arms and it's LOUD! Only when using it without the resistance is it really quiet and fun to do--but provides very little exercise. I found it boring to do after 15 or so minutes. The little "computer" doesn't work properly to measure your heart beat either.
Awkward

My parents bought this item a couple years ago. It seemed great. Yeah, its lightweight, assembly isnt too hard, then you step on it, and.... This is the most awkward workout device I have ever used, and quite frankly, doesnt really feel ergonomic. I have worked out on many machines, used free weights, elipticals, stationary bikes, and rowing machines; and would gladly recommend any of these over the Gazelle. Its hard to use properly, feels unsafe, and doesnt seem like you are getting a good workout for the time you spent on it. If you're looking for a home product like this, go out and buy a recumbent stationary bike instead. Thats what my parents did a couple weeks after buying the Gazelle. We all used it, and the Gazelle retired to the closet...
Worth It

The Gazelle is perfect for when you need something quick and easy to do as exercise. For some folks, all they need is a little activity in their life. Find a favorite TV show you can watch every day for an hour while you walk / swoosh on the Gazelle. Perfect for those who don't wanna leave the house or can't leave the house due to weather or other reasons. It does squeak a little bit so have the WD-40 handy to lube it up every few weeks.
Everything it promised.

I've been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia, and often, getting bundled up and outside for, say, a walk, takes more energy than I have. My family got the Gazelle about six months ago, and we haven't regretted it. It's easy on the joints and if I'm sore or tired, it's simply a matter of climbing on for even a minute or two. Very convenient. Ours is a bit squeaky, but perhaps we're not maintaining it properly. Regardless, this product does everything it promises, and more.
love it! it works!

I purchased this product in December of 2003. I used it 3 days a week along with weights the other 3 days. i lost 30 pounds in 3 months without changing my diet at all. I tried to change it, but those after work (11pm) cravings were ugly. I tried to go back to the treadmill, but couldn't.
the best

GAZELLE IS FABULOUS
11/23/2005 - Susan of Maine, USA writes:
I purchased the Gazelle approximately 2 months ago as a replacement for going to a gym - we moved to Maine and travelling to a gym in the winter months was unappealing to me. The Gazelle not only provides me with a terrific cardiovascular workout, it also trains my abs, buttocks thighs, arms and chest with one motion! It's FUN! When I first started, it seemed that I would never be able to sustain a smooth rythym, however, sticking to it pays off. I feel terrific - my clothes feel better - I'm standing taller (or so it feels!) and walking with confidence. I recommend it for a total workout in the comfort of home! My husband saw how much I love using it and has begun using it as well!
Had it for years & Love it

I bought my gazelle at least 5 yrs ago if not longer.It seems to be stronger made than the ones I've seen in the stores lately. I love it. I have back problems and it I get a good workout w/o any stress on my back or joints. I have the work out tapes for it and they are great.Tony's coaching is very positive and encouraging on them. I had to replace a leg and pedal which was inexpensive and had good customer service. The monitor for speed, time and distance is average quality. I would highly recommend the gazelle especially for people w/arthritis, joint or back problems.
Absolutely Fabulous

I have been using this product daily since March 16, 2005, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. You get a total body workout, upper and lower, which was very important to me. The tapes are excellent, and make me chuckle while working out. I have lost 84 lbs since November 1/04, so far, and I attribute a lot of my success to the cardio each morning before work on the Gazelle. Try it, you'll love the workout, the stretching, the increased flexibility, and the general all-around good feeling after you've completed your 50 minutes or so.
