 Great Inexpensive Effective Equipment August 25, 2008
You can't get a better product for a cardio workout, especially if you have bad knees or leg/feet problems and a treadmill could hurt the body. It is easy to put together, folds up and there is no impact on the body when you use it. I bought one of these for my mother who also uses it every day and finds it easy to use. I think it is a very good product and you couldn't get a better workout even if you spent a lot more money.
 Ok but could be better July 27, 2008
After not much use the machine started squeaking. It has become a major anoyance. The "pre-lubricated" bar that the instructions said not to apply any additional lubrication to seemed a bit dry when I assembled it. However, what do I know? I will need to disassemble and regrease soon or it will drive everyone crazy. On the plus side, it does provide a good workout. Providing a small tube of grease to be applied during assembly will fix this problem.
OK machine, but I'd rather go with a stationary bike July 25, 2008
I can't say anything that hasn't already been covered. Assembly wasn't difficult, but is frustrating when the instructions throw your off. "It's just putting a couple of pieces, how hard could it be? Oh wait, it goes the other way...not like the way it says on the instructions. Thank you, useless diagram, thank you!" After a week, this bugger squeaks like crazy. Get some Vaseline and apply it before you put the whole thing together!
As far as performance, it isn't much. You get as much as you put into it. You're elevated off the ground, so your weight is the only resistance. Didn't think I had to say this, but this is an aerobic exercise (for those fitness buffs expecting something more, this ain't it). It's meant to get you moving about rather than sitting on the bloody couch all day.
The workout instructions are straightforward. Nothing complex - lean forward to work out arms more, lean back to work legs more. But to really get the most of this, you just need to sprint and flail about like a madman.
I did get some buyer's remorse - I bought a stationary bike and use that way more often.
 Gazelle Freestyle July 22, 2008
The Gazelle Freestyle requires reasonable caution for elderly people. Trying what Tony Little advertises could be risky. The use of this equipment moderately can give good exercise. Being careful is a must. It offers low-impact air walking which is good while watching TV.
 Waste of time July 5, 2008
I was over my friend's house and saw that she had one. I tried it to see if I would get my own. I can't comment on the squeaking because it is still fairly new. The work out is a complete joke. You could do better by walking around your sofa for 30 mins! There is NO resistance. It is really hard to keep your balance because the pressure from your arms swings the feet part back and forth which has you scrambling for controle. The more you try to grip the handle bars the more the feet parts go flying. I'm just glad I wasn't the one who bought it!
