XL Glider -vs- Gazelle Glider

24 years ago

I'm not going to say anything against

Tony Little. I do have his original

Gazelle Glider and it worked great!

That was a couple years ago...

In April of this year I purchased an

XL-Glider from QVC (the only place to shop!)

It's really great! I have talked it up so

much at the office that three other employees

also purchased one!

The glider is really helping me in my

determined efforts to lose weight.

I have lost 53lbs since 1/2/2001!

Not all to the credit of the XL Glider.

But, you have to excercise to be successful

and using any brand of glider is a great way

to do it and it's alot of fun!

I can do 6 miles in 68 minutes. I challenge

myself everyday (well 5 out of 7) and I

can't wait to get home everyday and use it!

(yes, I have no life)

My body is going through exciting changes.

Everytime I buy a new pair of slacks,

a few weeks later, I need a new pair.

What I truly love about the XL-Glider

is that it was way less expensive than

the Gazelle Glider and it folds.

BUT, does anyone know how to get

it to stop squeaking?

It's getting kinda loud and annoying.

I guess I work it out too hard.

Just Keep Gliding!

For what it is worth- I noticed in the flyer we got with the newspaper that Dick's Sporting Goods has the Tony Little Gazelle on sale for $199.

Maria,

I purchased the Mia Finnegan glider from QVC about a month ago and I just love it also.

There appears to be very little difference between it and the XL Glider. They both even appear to have the squeaks. It really annoyed me so I got out the can of WD40. It is a spray lubricant that you can get anywhere (Wal-Mart, etc.) Everytime I heard a squeak for the first of couple weeks I would spray that spot with WD40. It is whisper quiet now. If it ever starts again I will just get out the spray but it is doing fine now. Thought this might help you.

I have an XL Glider, and I love it too. My husband found out why it squeaks. Because they come preassembled, they are painted and assembled very quickly. When the paint comes off after using and folding/storing it, the metal rubs a bit on the joint that crosses. He put a thin plastic washer in between the two poles and WaLaa! No more squeaks! (he has the allen wrenches that are required to seperate the poles, you may need to purchase them). These are the joints that the manual says to check and make sure that they are tight before using. You could lubricate the joint, I suppose, but I haven't had a squeak since. It was so annoying, I use mine every other day in the morning, I am so happy now.

Those peas in pots are doing so well that I planted two more pots. Used up the leftover Sugar Lace II seeds that I had. So I had four pots of Sugar Lace II and four pots of Snow peas. Now I will have six pots of Sugar Lace II. I always have good luck planting peas in pots, I planted them in pots last spring. None in ground. Then last fall I planted them in pots again but did put some in ground. This fall I will be planing peas in pots also. I watered all my peas including the inground ones. Those early inground ones (Super Sugar Snap) I planted March 21 and I don't see anything sprouting yet. But the pots I planted March 29 and March 30. So they sprouted quickly. Hurray for spring peas. The peas are the first veggie of the year for me and part of my veggie crazies that I had real bad last year. Going to be lots of veggie crazies for me this year again as late last summer I expanded one of my tomatoe beds and then moved all the TB iris in Tower Sqare so that Tower Square could be a veggie bed this year. Going to have tomatoes, yard long beans and some greens growing there. Going to put cucumbers upstaires again in the main path thru the mid backyard daylily bed.

Cute lil burte! LOL! How funny. I think this might fall into the same catagory as the straight hair/curly hair thing. Curly haired people wish their hair didn't go berzerk and straight haired people wish there hair would do anything at all! Actually, I'd take any "fit looking" build. Muscular,slender,tall or short. I know these poor women no matter how hard they work out they look cushy. They work so hard to look lean and strong but don't really look like they work out at all. The health benies are still there but it would be frustrating not to have any of the physical stuff! I wonder if they have super-high octane estrogen or something? PJ

Ok thanx Heather. I did just that and i found out that it will cost me $202.60 canadian. I called them up, but unfortunatly they said that they cannot ship to my location becuase the item was oversised (becuase i live in canada and they have restrictions). I saw the orbitreck elliptical glider on sale for $239.99 in the canadian tire flyer, so i am looking around reading threads to see if it is worth my cash. :)

I just wanted to thank all of you for starting this thread. I found it so interesting that I started looking at the gliders. I finally ordered the XL glider and I love it!!
I have lost 12 pounds in the last 4 weeks by working out on the glider! Thank you all so very much!

Haven't tried the XL - but just purchased the Gazelle from a locale sporting goods shop. Purchasing from them the price was $199.99 without shipping charges and best yet -
I can return it within 30 day with a receipt for a full refund. Sure beats buying from the infomericals.

Why is the XL glider better than Tonly Little's? I'm going to buy one, I'd like to know the difference.

Thank you all! I'm so excited now.
