    I've not heard good things about the Gazelle from ANYONE that ever had or used one.... perhaps going to try one out in person at a real store before you order it is a good idea! I Believe Sears carries them if there is one near you - and possibly Walmart too.

    I'm thinking if you just spend a tad more cash on a low cost Elliptical, it would do you MUCH better! :smile:

    Edit to add: upon my 5 seconds of internet research, I discovered this particular Gazelle is a few hundred dollar machine, although some places offer it for as low as 14.95 for a one month trial.

    Please be sure you don't suck yourself into a scam and end up paying hundreds for something you think is only going to be 30$

    I have also heard the gazelle is cheap and flimsy and usually you get what you pay for...FYI..try it first for at least 10 minnutes

    Hi, I too have heard that people tire of the Gazelle very quickly. The ones I've talked to say it just gets too easy to fast. However, I'm only going by hearsay, don't let me spoil your fun, and they do look fun.

    No, I am actually buying the machine from someone locally. I have heard it is alright. I can't use the eliptical, I have a leg shorter then the other and it hurts me........its either this or the treadmill.

    It's $30 not 300. Gonna try it out.......

    Wish me luck we will see.

    You all are so silly :)

    So I got my Gazelle, and it is kinda fun. Honey works tonight, so I am gonna do my first workout tonight. I think part of the reason people may think its easy is because there is no resistance.....but lordy I was up there for 2 minsutes and my heart was going......so we will see.

    GO GREEN!
