Gazelle Sprinter Cardio Home Training Exercise Machine with Hydraulic Resistance, Grip Pulse Fitness Tracker, & Smart Device Holder Attachment

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!

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.

This is the best machine to purchase that is easy on the joints. It is easy to use and gives resistance when you want it. No concerns.

I had an older version that went to a well earned rest last Fall. I had difficulty getting a new version until Amazon found a Canadian supplier. Assembling the Gazelle went fairly well, though some minor attachments I gave up attempting on (the device holder and one side of the protective sleeve). The computer isn't much use as it just flips around giving me random numbers, then clicks off - but I use my iPhone in my pocket for what I need. Otherwise it works better than my original version because of the resistance now incorporated - it exercises my arm muscles in a way not done with my 1995 version. I am satisfied.

It arrived quickly and packaged well. It is an excellent, quality piece of exercise equipment. I use it regularly, and frequently. Very happy with my purchase.
