I bought it like 3 years ago, and returned it after trying it a few times.

I didnt like it. I kept pulling my hamstrings.......it was annoying.

My sister got me one and I'm not crazy about it. I feel that I move around on it too much and it really annoys me. My feet constantly slip off of the pads (why isn't there a strap to go over your foot?) and the whole machine travels across my floor with me on it! (I guess I do it really hard...) Anyway, I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Thanks girls, I may go with an eliptical instead.

My DH who is a personal trainer said that it doesn't really do anything for you...

If I was going to buy one machine for my house, which one do you think has the most benefits, stair master, bike, treadmill, eliptical? TIA

Re: NWR - The Gazelle - tony little exercise machine

I'd say either a treadmill b/c you can run or walk on it; both on a incline........but ellipticals are good too.

The others, I wouldnt waste my money on.

I did buy the Tread Climber about two years ago and I do love it, but I love the treadmill more b/c I can do more variations on it (run, walk, jog, steep incline, etc).

Have you seen the Geico commercial wher he's using it - very funny -

I personally don't see the workout in it - too much momentum and not enough using your muscles!!!

Definitely get the elliptical - I love it. I have problems with treadmills giving me awful shin splints - the Precor elliptical doesn't give me any problems

Get a eliptical!! That is what I use most at the gym. I feel it works you out the best.

Don't get the Gazelle, waist of money!!

Re: NWR - The Gazelle - tony little exercise machine

i have one. i dont use it anymore b/c i have no room in my house but when i did use it i loved it

i cant use a treadmill b/c i have bad knees this is no contact. it is a smooth motion
