Why Buy a Precor
Fitness professionals around the world recommend
the treadmill more than any other piece of home exercise equipment because
it is functional and easy to use, and when used correctly provides an ideal
way to strengthen and improve cardiovascular health. There are more
treadmill brands and products to choose from than other kinds of fitness
equipment. Such selection can be daunting as you try and determine which
treadmill will work best for you and your family. How to choose?
One of the easiest ways to narrow your search for
the right treadmill is to limit you decision to those manufacturers who have
a history of producing treadmills for fitness facilities. A company that
produces treadmills used for hours on end every day in a fitness facility is
likely to produce a quality treadmill that can withstand the usage patterns
of the typical home.
That certainly is the case with Precor. For the
past 20 years, we've been creating products that have withstood the most
trying environments and the most demanding users. That's because we design
and produce every product to help the user exercise with less friction and
more flow. Precor products have been designed to work with the body's
natural movements instead of against them, so users get a heightened sense
of moving well.
So what is it about Precor treadmills that help you
move so well?
- Ground Effects® Impact Control System. This
patented system absorbs the shock of impact while you walk or run.
Reducing impact lowers the risk of injury to lower back, knees, shins and
ankles. In addition, Ground Effects controls lateral motion, providing an
increased sense of security.
- Integrated Footplant™ technology. Unique to
Precor, this feature preserves your natural gait by accommodating foot
speed changes that occur with every step. It creates a more natural
walking/running motion to help you stay balanced and in control of your
stride.
- Advanced motors. Don't be fooled by the "bigger
is always better" rhetoric associated with treadmill horsepower ratings.
Precor treadmill motors are matched with the treadmill's other components
to provide the ideal treadmill experience. Running cool and quiet, Precor
treadmill motors provide substantial power and torque at all speeds.
Equipped with a constant-speed cooling fan, our motors perform efficiently
at slower speeds, which also increase overall motor life and reliability.
- Exercise variety with pre-programmed courses.
The most successful exercise program is one that you stick with over time,
and Precor treadmills help you in that endeavor by offering programs that
are challenging and motivating.
- Ease of use. Precor treadmills are designed with
easy-to-read, navigable consoles that make sense. With the QuickStart
feature, you'll be on your treadmill and exercising with the touch of a
button.
- Low maintenance. While Precor treadmills require
basic care, maintaining the running deck is easy because it requires no
maintenance: it's self-lubricating. And because the deck is reversible,
its life is doubled.
Those are just a few of the reasons that Precor
should be your choice when it comes to treadmills. To really experience the
difference and to feel the unique motion, it's best to experience Precor in
person. Click below to find your nearest Precor dealer or to find more

Precor Treadmill Story
When you're on a treadmill, you probably glance
frequently at the heart rate monitor, the angle of ascent, rate of speed,
calories burned, or any of a number of other features on the console. But when
you're on a Precor treadmill, focus for a moment and feel just how different
the machine is. Feel each step you take and how precisely the treadmill
responds. The Precor series of treadmills makes it easy to do your run -- your
workout is so smooth, you may not want to hit "stop." And you won't suffer the
typical high-impact aches and pains from an extended workout.
You'll find that any Precor running deck gives you
the best shock absorption as you put down your heel, and it increases
stability as you push off from your toe - all to reduce joint stress and
fatigue. This Ground Effects® technology also adjusts to your height or
weight, leaving you with a superior, low-impact run.
Integrated Footplant™ technology is another unique
feature of Precor treadmills. Essentially, this accommodates your foot's
natural acceleration and slowing during the course of each step. The
technology is so sublime that the equipment software monitors your heel
strikes and adjusts motor speed up to 100 times per second as you run. That's
an attentive machine.
All this sophisticated engineering may not be your
primary interest, but you know a smooth workout when you feel it. When
exercising is this comfortable, you tend to go longer, working your heart
more, thus getting in better shape. It's the Relative Perceived Exertion (RPE)
-- the difference between how hard you think you're working and how hard your
heart actually works.
So here you are on your Precor treadmill. Your
running experience on this machine is as natural as your outdoor run, but
without jarring your joints. You adjust the console settings to get the
specific workout you're looking for and you keep going, accelerating, moving
the way you want through life.
