Any Gazelle (Elite) Users-I need battery changing help!!
I recently took my Gazelle out of inactive status to use instead of freezing my touche off walking outside in the rain. This is not the lightest weight model, but the one that has a little more substantial frame and can carry more weight, but it is not the top of the line one. It has a computer that will show distance,…

BOSU 3D System-Anyone have experience using it?
I am researching fitness equipment for my home. I need something that doesn't take up a lot of space and want to do strength training, work on my core, and improve my balance, and firm and tone.
