hm.. found one abuot the GAZELLE FREESTYLE ELITE from Consumer Reports:
"The reality: Hype, hype, hype! It can provide an aerobic workout, but the unnatural pendulum motion puts a lot of effort on hips. With pistons in place, even lowest resistance can be too hard. The upper body doesn?t do much. The machine folds for storage but is awkward and heavy to set up again. Our sample squeaked. Stretching moves in video are too extreme for most people.
The bottom line: Biking or walking provides the same or better benefits, for less money."
