Precor Treadmills Review

Precor is known for producing high-end treadmills for both the home and commercial environments.  They have manufacturing treadmills since the 1980’s and offer a variety of different treadmills, elliptical trainers and exercise bikes.

The Precor treadmills do come at a premium price with their entry level treadmill starting at around the $2000 range.  However with Precor you get what you pay for.  Quality is synonymous with their name and there is no better example of this than number of health clubs that predominately use their products.   The exercise equipment used in Health fitness clubs succumbs to thousands of hours of use and abuse, any product that can withstand this type of treatment is worth considering.

The Precor treadmills include the Ground Effects® Impact Control System.  This is a shock absorption system that is designed to reduce the impact running has on the lower back and knees.  The system also helps to prevent shin splints and ankle injuries. 

The Precor treadmills also contain high quality parts with a unique and innovative treadmill motor design.  The Precor motors are not only quieter when in use, but also run at a cooler temperature than many of the competitor’s brands.  Over time, this helps to increase the life of the motor.

A few of the other technologies Precor uses in their treadmills are:

·         The Precor Integrated Footplant™ -  technology helps you to stay more balanced on the treadmill by adjusting to your foot speed changes

·         QuickStart - program feature that allows you to quickly start your workout without having to run through a bunch of pre-programmed features.

·         Self-lubricating deck - reduces the maintenance and helps increase the life of the treadmill.
