[...]this device is really a great product. I had some concern for the weld-component becoming too loose and eventually breaking off while in use. The missing part was an end-cap that goes on the handle bar. Whenever I repositioned my hand, somehow, I would scratch it on the end of the handle bar. I did contact the Product Parts Department, and the representative said that they would ship out a completely new unit to me, this I appreciate. However, I still think that this is a great product. It is certainly great for acquiring endurance, cardiac strength, and some resistance with your own body weight. I love the 'freestyle' versatility and low-impact weightbearing effect on hips, knees, back and ankles. I will have to wait until my exchange arrives to really workout. Okay, I have a few suggestions for people who had a difficult time with assembly. Firstly, relax because it is easy! I put my unit together alone in less than 40 minutes. To minimize squeaking at the crossbar, make concern to minimize any spacing between components with use of the additional washers provided and add more 'elbow grease' to the crossbar if necessary. Of course, the obvious, make concern that all screws are tightened well but not to the point of stripping them. Lastly, I discovered that you really should use this device on a very flat surface; thick carpet can cause a wobble effect. Great product - Handle with care, please!

I have recently been sick, and lost a lot of weight. I am better now, but really need to tone up. I also have bad knees and ankles and this glider is the best, it is easy to use and easy on my knees. Thank you.

I am Very overweight (300 lbs) and have a bad knee. The Gazelle is low impact, very easy to use and it supports my weight! This was a very important factor because, most inexpensive ellipticals only hold upto 250 lbs. The Gazelle Freestyle has a maximum weight capacity of 350 lbs. The hardest part about the machine is getting on it. You tend to want to swing at first. But once you figure it out its a sinch from then on out.

It is great - it was so easy to get used to that I overdid the first day - I am sore - but no pain, no gain

I purchased the trainer for some physical uses. I had an extensive spinal operation 12 weks ago and I need something that provided low impact exercising. I started out slow and only a few days a week and have built up to everyday of the week. It really works my core area and strengthens my lower back and hip muscles.

I use this elliptical trainer for general cardio training and help with weight loss. It is sturdy, easy to use and doing just what i expected it to do for me. Only problem is the small computer is not always on when it should be so I just use a separate clock.

My husband and I both love our trainer. We needed something we could both use easily that would benefit us the most. We think we have found it. We both hold each other accountable so we make sure we use it. It really gives us a good workout. We are hoping to change occasional to frequent exercisers.

Comments about Gazelle Gazelle Freestyle Elliptical Trainer:

Kinda of hard to assemble by yourself, 2 people is much better. For those who hate to run or jog this is for you! Nice alternate form of exercise, especially for those who sit all day at work. If it had the ability to adjust the resistance I'd give it 5 stars.

Very good design, heavy-duty frame, assembles easily, best with 2 people though. It works smooth and quiet. Bought this originally for my wife, she loves it, I even tried it and I like it. Even comes with workout DVD.

Great exerciser. I am not very active, but with this exerciser I am limbering up and improving my stamina. Starting slow.

Comments about Gazelle Gazelle Freestyle Elliptical Trainer:

Try to use 2 or 3 times a day.
I have been ill and regaining my strength.
I go slow and build up as I go.
It has been great.

Comments about Gazelle Gazelle Freestyle Elliptical Trainer:

This is a pretty basic ellipitical, person powered, not computerized and works really well. It is simple enough that even my 80+-YO father in law, who did no exercise previously and who has Parkinson's has been using it. I was thinking of getting one for my 93-YO mother.

Comments about Gazelle Gazelle Freestyle Elliptical Trainer:

Try to use every day (1 to 2 times).
Easy to get out and use. Easy to put up.
I am a beginner - hope to work up to using longer times every day and help with my heart.

THANKS

I was surprised how cheap priced this was! Its compact and easy to store. WARNING: Please stretch and for the first couple days, dont over do it. I did only 20 minutes the first day and was really sore for 4!

This has been a wonderful product for my specific needs. I rarely get out and spend a lot of time on the computer for various reasons. I got the Gazelle to help increase my endurance when I am out and about. I haven't experienced any joint pain, although I have arthritis in my knees and ankles, from using this machine. It has helped me lose a few pounds already and I've only had it about 3 weeks. I use it everyday and with the built in computer I'm able to easily track my progress as it was recommended I start with .5 miles a day. My 54 year old mother, 37 year old husband and even my 7 year old daughter like to use the machine as well. I really think this is an awesome product specially for those people like me.

MY HUSBAND KEPT HINTING UNTIL I GOT THIS FOR HIM, AND HE LOVES IT! HE HAS TO LISTEN TO HIS IPOD WHILE USING IT THOUGH BECAUSE HE SAID IT GETS A LITTLE BORING..OTHER THAN THAT, HE IS HAPPY!
HE IS 6 FT 5 AND IS 240 LBS, VERY STURDY TOO!

We're both really enjoying using the Gazelle, probably six days/week. It's great to break a sweat with no worries about our knees. I just don't think you can trust the mph and HR meters.
