Precor Elliptical Trainers – A Pioneer in the Business

Precor was the first company in the industry to develop an elliptical trainer, and Precor elliptical trainers continue to be quite popular with many exercise enthusiasts. Precor elliptical trainers have established a strong reputation for high quality and high-end elliptical trainers, and their EFX brand continues to be one of the most well known on the market.

Most Precor elliptical trainers are sold through specialty dealers, which tend to sell the top of the line elliptical trainers. In addition, there are a number of commercial Precor elliptical trainers on the market, but they are designed primarily for use in health clubs.

One unique feature of Precor elliptical trainers is their patented CrossRamp feature. This feature allows the user to adjust the incline of the ramp on which the front rollers travel, and this in turn changes the groups of muscles which are involved in the workout. In addition, CrossRamp technology allows the user to add variety to exercise routines. The Precor elliptical trainers which feature CrossRamp do not have moveable handlebars for an upper body workout; instead they feature only side handlebars to aid the user in keeping his or her balance.

There are some Precor elliptical trainers without the CrossRamp, and these models do include the upper body handlebars which are designed to work with your stride. This type of upper body motion is the same dependent action used on other types of elliptical trainers.

Precor elliptical trainers are known for being very quiet, and this smooth and quiet operation is achieved through the use of the highest quality components and the best construction methods.

Precor elliptical trainers come with a lifetime frame warranty, a 10 year parts warranty and a one year warranty on labor. Precor fitness equipment is known for its durability, and most maintenance on Precor elliptical trainers will consist of keeping the CrossRamp clean to prevent premature wear on the wheels of the ramp.
