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

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

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

Pros: No impact.
Compact space requirement.
Xlnt customer service.
Great for all fitness levels!
Cons: I really can't think of any!
Summary: I love my Gazelle! I am not a 20 year old athlete. I am not (or was not, better now) in great shape due to my problem knees (congenital deformity). I could not find a single piece of equipment that I could use for lower body/cardio that had NO impact ... read more

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

Pros: Tony Little is making money. Probably better than not exercising at all.
Cons: Offensively noisy. Inferior quality. Inhibits arm movement. Overpriced for materials and build involved.
Summary: Around 14 months ago I purchased a Gazelle Elite. The machine started out to be quiet, but after a very short time it began to creak & squeal. As the noises became worse I contacted Fitness Quest ( I was contacting them anyway because the plastic shock ... read more

Summary: I couldn't drag myself to the gym anymore at 3AM, so decided to put a small gym in the garage. I was really looking for a treadmill but the cost of a good one was more than I wanted to spend. After much reading I decided on the Gazelle Elite and a ... read more

Pros: Easy to use; gentle!
Cons: Noisy!!!
Summary: I find that it's very easy to do a quick 30 minutes a day. Unfortunately my 18 month old gazelle is so noisy that I can only use it for 30 minutes without going crazy. I have oiled it and it has not help. I do like that I can get a mile done in no ... read more
