I had the gazelle..i hated it. I suck at cardio but I could do that thing for 30 mins and not even break a sweat. its just basically swinging back and forth, there is no bending of the knees like in a normal eliptical. you get no workout from it. I sold mine on ebay to some schmuck for 400 bucks plus shipping.
lol yeha i wont get on it at gym cus i feel gay...but i see guys so im like maybe it does work u out....no one around me has any cardio equipment on ebay. i want a rower or elliptical or something in my room so i can wake up and get busy before shower/work/school
yeah im kinda steering away from a bike tho....a rower or elliptical would be a better worout i think. cheaper rowers are piston ones i dunno hwo i feel about that. ive been looking all day for a nice/cheap piece
check out local sites or papers were people sell used stuff, like craigslist.org or the recycler.
I bought a used Precor recumbent bike (great condition, gym quality) for $100 from a rich couple that never used it but once or twice in the two or three years they ownded it.
I sell high end exercise equipment for a living so let me tell ya, You'd be better off spending the $200 on a decent TV and doing jumping jacks in front of it!!
That is the worst piece of equipment I have seen enter the market. The bio-mechanics are shit!!!!!!!! I'm honestly amazed they havn't pulled it off the market. I forsee law suits in the future for peeps getting serious hip problems!!!
