Precor Treadmills – Exercise Equipment You Can Trust (Comparing exercise equipment)

January 30th, 2008

Tip! Another option for purchasing exercise equipment when you’re on a budget is buying refurbished equipment. Refurbished is a term used to refer to products that are no longer considered ‘brand new’ – possibly due to cosmetic damage which may have occurred on a showroom floor, or merchandise that may have been returned by a customer for any number of reasons.

Precor treadmills are synonymous with quality. They have been in the fitness industry for over 20 years and have invested millions into research and development to provide the best quality machines. All their treadmills have long warranties which are a testament to their quality.

Just go down to your local gym and you are bound to see a number of Precor treadmills being battered continuously for hours a day. Just think…if they are good enough for these commercial gyms then you can guarantee that they will stack up in your own home gym.

Although super high quality, Precor treadmills are also quite expensive. You will be lucky pick one up for much less than $3000 so if you are trying to buy a treadmill on the cheap then this may not be the best option for you.

Tip! Whatever kind of home exercise equipment you choose, it is very important to know how much exercise you can get out of it to get that eye-pleasing form that you want to achieve this summer.

However if you consider all the advantages you get with the trusted Precor brand, you’ll understand why they price these machines as such.

Advantages

Precor treadmills are backed by one of the best warranties around. They offer lifetime warranties on their treadmill frames and welds, 10 years on parts and a year on labor. They use the highest quality materials and their customer testimonials are superb. This just shows how confident the company is with the quality and durability of their treadmills.

Aside from quality, Precor treadmills are also known for being loaded with features. They have powerful motors, wide running surfaces and are very quiet.

Disadvantages

The price is the only disadvantage I can see with these machines. I feel that $3000-$5000 is a lot to pay for a treadmill to be used at home. I believe the Precor name increases the purchase price and unless you are a dedicated runner, have money to spare or know you are going to be using the treadmill often then it might be more than you need.

Some people also say that it is too big. However I feel this is one of its benefits as it adds stability and a long, wide running surface.

Recommendation

Precor manufactures probably one of the highest quality treadmills in the market today, which they back up wholeheartedly as can be seen by the length of their warranties. So, I would recommend buying Precor treadmills but only if you could afford one. It is one of the best in the market right now but at the same time it is also one of the most expensive.

Tip! Most types of exercise equipment that you can use in your home will work great if you use it on a regular basis. Decide what your goals are and what your budget will allow before you begin shopping for new exercise equipment and purchase the types that you will find fun and challenging to use.
