Pros: Easy to use machine for the novice that works both upper and lower body.
Cons: Hard to change resistance; not challenging for the experienced.

I saw Tony Little‘s Gazelle Freestyle Elite for the first time in the fitness room of my mom‘s condo. It wasn‘t there a year ago so it had not seen more than a year of use. It was in good condition. There were no dents in this machine. ...

Pros: Easy to use, low-impact, quiet
Cons: Hard to store and move

About six months ago, my girlfriend decided to purchase the Gazelle Freestyle Elite after seeing one of the infomercials on TV. We already had an exercise bike, which hardly got any use, so I was a bit skeptical that we would get any use out of this....

Pros: Non-impact; gentle on joints; perfect for apartments; accommodates higher weight than most machines; fun!
Cons: Inaccurate heart rate monitor; bad design of cupholder; changing piston setting could be easier.

I purchased the Gazelle Freestyle Elite in January 2003 and absolutely love it! Mine is a refurbished model from fitnessquest.com for about $100 cheaper than a new model. They do not advertise the refurbished one, but if you do a search for the word ...

Pros: Quiet, works out arms.
Cons: Can't use for extreme exercising.

UPDATE (10-25-2008)< b>My Gazelle finally died. The front bar has bent, not a lot, but enough over the years that the right foot pedal hits the right stabilizer bar. For nearly 3 years of use, I can't complain. I'm going to buy another one at ...

Pros: Attractive look, many features, complete video documentation, low-impact, easy-to-learn workout
Cons: Squeaks from the metal tubing and joints, slippage on floor, no middle resistance setting

Unlike the Total Gym (reviewed at h ttp://www.epinions.com/content _138953657988), the Fitness Quest Tony Little's Gazelle Freestyle Elite is a machine with which my lady and I have a love/hate relationship. On ...

Pros: This is a great workout for any fitness level. Easy on the joints.
Cons: Storage is an issue, not portable.

I have wanted a piece of exercise equipment, but the trick was to find something that I wouldn't get bored with. This is fun and gives you a good work out. I find that my back and knees don't hurt like they did when I was running. You get a total body...

Pros: Sturdy construction; not a bad resistance-based workout
Cons: Wretched computer and heart monitor; unit is cumbersome to move around

I thought it might be useful for potential customers to see the Gazelle's merits and shortcomings from the perspective of an athlete. I have no need to toot my horn in anonymity here, so please accept my credentials for what they are. I was a 4-year ...

I've had it for about a month and have absolutely NO regrets. After a few fits and starts - cables ...

Pros: Very sturdy, easy payment plan, quiet, fun!
Cons: None

Like most people, I watched the infomercial, bits and pieces at a time, several times over a 6 month period. Knowing that I am a pretty gullible person when it comes to infomercial products, I refrained from actually buying the unit, and the very high ...

Pros: Great machine to commit to working out frequently. Sturdy. Great price and experience.
Cons: The instructions for set up could be a little bit clearer.

I'd seen the infomercial on this, and it seemed too good to be true. So I did some research on the net, finding generally good reviews. I checked out the cheaper models at the local sporting good stores, and didn't see what the point would be in buying ...

Pros: Easy fold up. Good workout.
Cons: Inaccurate monitor, quit working almost after purchase.

I have used the Gazelle Freestyle Elite on and off for a year. I like the 3 settings but am not sure if it would be enough resistance for a really fit person. It folds up easy and has a nice cup holder and even room for the remote! It is sturdy and ...

Pros: Very low impact Fun
Cons: Heavy Not so easy to fold up for storage

People always said that exercise is not only good for you but makes you feel good. I have never experienced that until I bought the Gazelle. It actually makes me smile! It didnt make me feel good when I lugged the heaviest box in the world in to the ...

Pros: The Elite Model is a great workout, quiet, easy to use, fun.
Cons: none that I have found.

I purchased a Tony Little Gazelle Freestyle in a Sports store about 6 months ago for $200. I liked the feeling that I got from the machine but I very quickly found that the lack of any resistance that the machine had , made it impossible for me to get a...
