Precor introduced the first Elliptical machine to the world in 1995. Only one fitness equipment brand can stake the claim that they created the world's first elliptical crosstrainer. Pretty cool.
Having maintained their stronghold on the fitness equipment industry for thirty years now, you can walk in any gym or healthclub in the world and there's a good chance they'll have some Precor fitness equipment.
They have that fever, that passion and everything you would want in a team designing equipment that is used to keep your body clean and healthy.
Having succeeded in their goals by actualizing their ideas through hard work and dedication, Precor Fitness' results have been users worldwide flocking to their elliptical fitness crosstrainers.™
Tough on fat and easy on your knees. That's what people love and respect about those Precor machines; they work well and don't harm your joints. Precor's EFX line of ellipticals have been the common denominator in gyms worldwide for as long as health clubs have been popular.
Their bio-mechanics are more technologically sound than ever before. On their website, Precor says of their new bio-mechanics, "Biomechanics validated by Western Washington University Biomechanics Lab for users of all ages, fitness levels and sizes, from the 5% size female to the 95% size male".
That $997 Proform elliptical at Dicks Sporting Goods that shakes like a wet dog when you step on it certainly wasn't approved by any University Biomechanics lab. Precor machines aren't cheap, but they will last you 10+ years in your home and have smooth, natural strides.
