Precor treadmills are produced by Amer Group, which acquired Precor from Illinois Tool Works in 2002. Amer Group is also home to such well known brands as Wilson Sporting Goods, and Precor treadmills continue to be some of the most popular on the market.

For many years, Precor has produced high quality products, and sold them at high prices. In particular, Precor has been a leader in the world of elliptical training products, and these products continue to be hot sellers.

Precor treadmills are also leaders in ease of use. Using their QuickStart™ feature, various users can share one piece of equipment, easily retrieving their own preset personal workout preferences and fitness profiles.

In addition, all Precor treadmills are designed with a unique suspension system which reduces the strain on the knees, joints and back while still providing a responsive surface on which to walk or run. The Ground Effects® Impact Control System helps to absorb the shock from running and walking, thus reducing the chances of injury to the knees, shins, ankles and lower back. This unique system also minimizes lateral motion, thereby providing a better feeling of security.

Another feature of Precor treadmills is the Integrated Footplant™ technology each model uses. This feature helps to keep your natural gait by adjusting for the changes in foot speed that occur with each step. This helps to create a more natural walking or running motion, helping you to remain balanced and in control through even the most intense workout.  Precor treadmills come with the ability to design pre-programmed courses just for you. These programs can serve to provide the challenge and motivation needed for the long term success of any exercise program.

Precor treadmills come with a generous 10-year warranty for added peace of mind as well. Precor has a long history of success in the industry, and they are a solid company likely to be around for the long-term to back up this generous warranty.
