Pros: easy, quiet, quick workout, no sports bra needed, great for exercise haters/beginners
Cons: many banged shins when trying to move it due to the swinging foot pads
The Bottom Line: This machine is perfect for those who hate to exercise and don't want to bother coordinating ANYTHING. No planning, counting,

| mikoniko's Full Review: FitnessQuest Tony Little Gazelle Glider Freestyle ... |
This product really does exactly what the commercials say. It is just as easy as it looks and in 10 minutes I am sweating and feel like I have had a workout. I like that I feel like I am stretching, warming up, exercising and cooling down all in one motion. I just started back up using it again after a couple of years and you would think that I would be sore but I wasn't. I love that it is quiet, unlike a treadmill, so I can watch videos or movies or the Today show. I can easily change the tempo and speed so I can move to whatever music is on. To work another group of muscles all you have to do is lean forward, backward or squat at different degrees rather than break up your routine by changing weights, punching buttons or stopping so you can change positions. You can change the intensity of your workout in an instant making it easy to step it up as your endurance and fitness level changes. I totally dig it and highly recommend it, especially if you hate exercise and have no time to go to a gym. It takes some space but is easily folded up and leaned against a wall if you care about that. I just leave mine set up. The pain of navigating around it is nowhere near the pain of going through life without trying to be healthy.
It is easy on the knees and low/no impact making it possible to do it barefoot in a nightgown with no sports bra!! Great news for us well endowed women. I did have to put small towels on the foot pad when going barefoot because the raised grips really hurt your feet.
