Glider Elliptical Hybrid Exercise Machine Plate for Home Gym, Pacer or Sprinter Model - Low-Impact Cardio & Strength Training

When I first received the Gazzele Pacer, I tried it only for few minutes after I got it put together. The next day I noticed my upper thighs were a little sore. Hmmm.. Could not believe it. ( this Pacer is silent with no squeaks ) I got on it the second day for about 15 minutes and the next day my upper thighs were even more sore. Wow. The arm workout is very good, everything moving all at once. This tells me it is working those muscles even better than walking which I do as well. This Gazzele Pacer was fairly easy to put together. And if you have a TV in front all the better! Before you know it your done!

Delivered earlier than expected. Easy to assemble. Sturdy product and smooth motions! Great price for the product! Fits and is comfortable to use.

I purchased an under-the-desk elliptical machine and love it. It has a convenient remote control and different speeds, but it doesn't give me the level of exercise I hoped for. It also doesn't stay in place, and the return period has lapsed. This Tony Little elliptical machine is truly low impact. It mimics the motion of skiing without risking life and limb, speaking of which I tore the ACL in my left knee in a bad skiing accident and was on crutches for eight months rather than having surgery. Although much improved, my doctor thinks I developed arthritis in my knee from the scar tissue and suggested I take up walking. To add insult to injury (no pun intended), I also have slight residual neuropathy in both legs after chemotherapy treatments from cancer eight years ago, although it, too, is much improved (thankfully, no sign of recurrence). What I needed was this Tony Little Gazelle machine, and I remember that my mother had one when I was growing up. A friend assembled it a few days ago, which took 45 minutes to an hour. It is very sturdy, but I asked him to remove the black rounded caps on each end of the horizontal bar at about waist level because although my hands are small to medium in size, I felt a tiny pinch when they were too close to those caps (they seem decorative more than anything else). Once the machine was assembled, I was apprehensive about stepping up on the foot pedals. They are only HALF the height up of a standard stair step and would not be a challenge to most people, but I was concerned about putting pressure on my bad knee. My concern was short-lived after figuring out the best way to get up and down from the pedals while also not risking injury due to the pedals not being stationery. This is what I did: First, while holding onto the horizontal support bar (not the raised arms), I step up on the right foot pedal with my stronger leg. Second, while still holding on tight to the horizontal bar, I step up with my other (bad) leg. Once I feel stable, I grap onto the arms and start moving. IT IS SO MUCH FUN!! I have used it three days in a row, and it is no struggle at all, nor did I have any adverse effect on my bad knee or somewhat weak legs. It is such great exercise for the legs/thighs, butt, and arms and folds up with little effort. NOTE: If you have any weakness in your legs, like i do, it is very important to hold onto a stable portion of the machine BEFORE stepping up and/or down, and as mentioned, I find the horizontal bar in front to be the best for that. If you are looking for a low-impact exerciser that you will enjoy using and that will not just gather dust, I highly recommend this Tony Little Gazelle.

I purchased this for a portable and collapsable exercise that I could use despite achilles tendon problems. Overall, I am very pleased with the design of the machine. It is a very good choice of elliptical someone with achilles tendon inflammation/issues. It is light weight and study. It is easy to collapse and does not take much space when collapsed. I found the assembly very difficult. This was mostly due to the limited wording or incorrect wording on the assembly instructions. I have assembled many things in my lifetime, but this one was a bit difficult. However, one person can assemble this with no problems. It is a good value for the money. I had to decide between a 6 month gym membership to use elliptical machines or to buy one for myself. I bought this. When I used it for the first time, there was a lot of squeaking. I don't know if I need to oil something, but the squeaking is not constant. Only the left side squeaked, and when it is not squeaking it is completely silent. It's a fun exercise workout, and you can push yourself to the level that is appropriate for you. I'd buy it again and recommend it for someone looking for an collapsable elliptical. This is a little bit better than an elliptical for someone with foot problems. It is lightweight but sturdy and convenient.

Due to extreme weather both summer and winter now making it too hard to walk outside, we bought this Gazelle Sprinter for those bad weather days. So far, very pleased! Well-made, sturdy and not complicated to use--just good simple exercise. It took two of us 2.5 hours to assemble, and that was only because the pictures in the instructions were not clear to us. But in all, not a lot of parts and only a few screws to attach with the dreaded Allen wrench (included). Highly recommend for simple exercise.

I've only had this for 2 days, used twice but so far... I was a bit worried buying that it would be too easy of a workout, after reading a few online fitness sources reviews. Those people are very serious about what they expect and are super fit I think. It definitely could be easy to use momentum to coast thru, but if you push your stride to longer, longest, lean forward and back as you glide at points thru your workout, and keep the pace up, it's a great workout. I'm not in the best shape, have been using a home rower for 3 mos and a step and light weights, but this will be a great addition to my life if everything holds together well. I worked up a good sweat in my 40 minutes on it today, can already feel it a little, and really enjoyed seeing how long I could 'sprint' before slowing down to a moderate pace again. It's fun, and that's so important. It feels sturdy enough, and was very easy to put together since I checked YouTube and found an awesome assembly video before I started (do this!!). I'm happy so far, my wallet is too, and fingers crossed its durable. I'll update my review if not.

I had reservations with this purchase. I had a very good quality (and very expensive nordictrack elliptical machine which I purchased 3 years ago, and had great workouts from it). Then the nordictrack became insanely noisy: super squeaky and awful and I live in a condo and work out super early as I work earlier than most. So this caused me a huge problem. Something that expensive and of supposed high quality was toast after 3 years? And no, the white lithium grease couldn’t even solve the problem) so when they tried to sell me a new 3k + machine, I thought No Way. So I looked for alternatives. This is much much simpler, and lighter, wasn’t sure it could compare in anyway as the other one had hill resistance etc. but actually I really love this thing. And I’m in pretty good shape: this does provide great cardio for advanced people (and would work for newbies too): you get what you put in. So it doesn’t auto push you like a program will on a Nordic track, but you can do that on your own, and if you exercise regularly, you will as you want your regular results. The biggest plus of this is the range, you can glide your legs with a much longer stride than you can on any other cardio equipment so you stretch your legs too, I feel fabulous afterwards, and it’s much easier on knees (I don’t have knee problems, but on occasion felt it pull a bit uncomfortably with the nordictrack) whereas with this one, I don’t. You can also go lower and do more of a squat glide, and the other formats (they give you a poster, which I didn’t need, but it’s a nice touch) and just reminds you to vary it up. All I all, this is gentler on the body than other cardio pieces and if you’re dedicated to get in a good workout and push yourself, this thing is awesome. And quiet. No squeaking from this design and not a massive weight like the others either. I’m very pleasantly surprised and so glad I purchased this. Worth every penny. Love it. Thank you!

I was very sceptical because of the reviews for this company I can honestly say that they have been first class, in how fast the item arrived, three days earlier than expected. Also the item is just what I hoped for, I had a Gazelle a few years ago and nothing comes close to the quality I would highly recommend the company and the Gazelle👍

I had a Gazelle about 25 years ago and enjoyed it but over time one part wore out. I recently saw it for sale and ordered it. I enjoy the motion and as a senior I find it a perfect workout and easy on my joints. It folds up easily. My husband who is a runner also uses it. I put my earbuds in and listen to music and time goes by quickly. I am so happy with the Gazelle.

I purchased this product about a month ago, and have been using it with some frequency (3-5 times a week). It can give you a decent heart rate increase if you put some effort in your exercise - you will probably not get much of a heart boost you just shuffle your feet slowly (though if you're just looking for some very light and casual exercise like shuffling your feet, this can do it) It comes with a DVD that can guide you through a workout. The computer is quite rudimentary and probably not entirely accurate, though for the price of this machine, I wasn't expecting anything more. It can tell you the distance at which you're moving, the distance travelled, the time spent and the amount of calories burned (you can also set it so that it rotates between all the stats as you exercise). This machine does not offer resistance or heart rate monitors. I'd take the numbers with a grain of salt considering how low tech / rudimentary the computer is - but it can nonetheless give you a general idea of the intensity of your work out. The machine folds up nicely, and is easy to store. (Though the machine weighs about 40 lbs and doesn't have wheels, in case you have trouble lifting this kind of weight, it might be a good idea to find some kind of wheeled platform on which to wheel this around your place.) The build is also quite sturdy and appears to be well put together. It solidly plants on the ground and doesn't wiggle/tilt/move much even when you move vigorously, but when the exercise is intense, the machine might vibrate a little from all the swinging parts. I purchased a heavy duty equipment mat to place it underneath, further increasing stability and reducing vibrations. My only issue with this machine is that after only a month of use, the cable holders began squeaking. It doesn't squeak very loudly, and I also wear earphones during the workout, so it never *really* bothers me - but I'm just saying that my machine does squeak. The instructions say to use WD-40 and to apply vaseline generously, both of which I've done, with some success (but with no permanent success). You can definitely reduce the squeaking with lubricant and WD-40, but the squeaking does kind of return eventually, even if much more quietly. Some spots can be hard to target with vaseline though, so you may need to get a bit more dexterous. It's a bit of a minor nuisance, but it doesn't really affect the physical performance of the machine, so I'd say that some basic level of maintenance might be required if your machine squeaks and you want it to stop. If you don't care about squeaking, then by all means, soldier on. I purchased this machine with the understanding that I was buying a sturdy "beginner's machine" for low impact cardio, and I can say that the machine meets my expectations for the most part. You can achieve brisk walking on it - if that's the kind of exercise you're looking for. There's probably much better out there, but for this price - it does its job. If you want to get started on your fitness journey, I think this is a good starting point.
