 Fun, easy to use and effective January 31, 2005

I absolutely love this glider! And for the price you cant beat it.
It arrived practicalyy assembled, you only need to add the handle bars at the top and the on board computer. Which is optional and I choose to not use so I dont focus on "calories" burned but by my own exhaustion and muscle burn. But that's just me.
At first it was very different to use, a smooth fluid motion. But balance was found quickly and then the fun began. This is unlike walking or running, there is no impact and you get more or a back leg and butt workout. You can choose to use your hands in a low, medium or high grip with different results for your upper body and difficulty of workout. You can also choose to rest your hands to the sides for the easiest of workouts or move them along the sides as you would during a jog for more difficulty.
This was surprisingly more difficult than I imagined. I worked up quite a sweat in only 30 minutes and I work out regularly with a recumbant bike and weights so Im in pretty good shape.
This does fold up so you can slide it under a bed or standing in a larger closet.
If your looking for a fun, different type of workout I would highly reccomend this machine.
Really as good as everyone says... May 30, 2006

I hate exercise, but I'm 52 years old and tired of lectures from my doctor about "getting daily exercise". A friend of mine bought one of these and I tried it and liked it. I promptly gave my exercise bicycle away and bought a Gazelle Edge.
Pro's:
* It's sturdy.
* It doesn't weigh a ton (46 lbs to be exact).
* It's whisper quiet - you can watch TV or listen to the stereo
at normal levels -or- exercise while the baby's sleeping (if
you have one!) :-)
* It's comfortable (but don't use it with bare feet lest you risk
blisters on the bottom of your feet (been there done that).
* It folds flat
Cons:
* It folds flat BUT the pedals "flop" around on the tether cable
making it awkward to move around. A couple of velcro straps
can fix the problem (hmmmm... I wonder why Tony Little hasn't
thought of that...?).
If you don't like exercising, but must (and we all must...) this is the machine for you. If you don't like the Gazelle then you might as well get back on the couch and forget about exercise all together. The Gazelle will give you the exercise you need, and if you eat right, along with using the Gazelle, you'll lose weight too! Does it stand the test of time? It did for me. My weight bench became a storage rack and my exercise bike became a clothes rack. The Gazelle seems to remain true to its intended purpose in my house.
I was skeptical... March 12, 2005

I was very very skeptical upon reading reviews and the simple fact he markets this product on an infomercial... however with my tax return I decided to go ahead and buy this basic 100$ model. I got on it the first day after I put it together... used it for 20 minutes that night then 10 the next morning. By the time I got off work that evening my calves were so incredibly sore (and my calves were nothin to laugh at to begin with (18 inches, muscle not fat)... wow I love this thing... I had to not do any on it for the next 3 days, I used it again last nite for 20, then this morning for 30... I love this thing, it really works, plus I love if you bend forward from the ankles you can work on your upper body. I highly doubt this calorie counter is correct (260ish calories in a half hour?!?!) However I never trust calorie counters on anything as none are acurate do to the simple fact people do burn amounts of energy a bit differently. I LOVE MY GAZELLE!!! BUY ONE!

This baby is the best! I simply get on it and move! After 30 minutes Im done watching TIVO...and I did my deed for the day!/..Very low impact with awesome results!!

If you are looking for a great way to shed some lbs and get healthy.This is for you! I love mine and I have never stuck to any exercise regime at all! I wish I had the money back Ive spent on equipment ,in the past, that has turn in to very expensive clothes racks!!
I can hardly walk today April 8, 2004
35 out of 35 found this review helpful
This machine take a MINIMAL amount of balance and corridation. If you aren't able to do it, you probably shouldn't be walking around on your own. I'm a competitive soccer player so I'm already in pretty decent shape, but after just one 15 minute workout my entire body is so sore I can hardly walk today. Abs, chest, shoulders, butt, hamstrings, I can feel it everywhere. Definately the best, fastest and easiest workout I've tried so far. And DEFINATELY worth the price.
