Precor revolutionized the fitness industry in 1995 when it introduced the first elliptical fitness crosstrainer. The EFX was such a success because it was the first machine to deliver a minimal-impact cardiovascular workout. Even better, the machine provided a highly effective cross- training activity perfect for all kinds of users, from beginning exercisers to elite athletes. Since that time, Precor has worked diligently to improve the EFX and enhance the movement that changed everything.
Before we answer the question of why you should buy a Precor Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer for your fitness facility, we want to tell you why elliptical training should be a part of your members' exercise routine.
There are three primary reasons why elliptical exercise is so effective and popular. Elliptical trainers provide:
- Superior aerobic exercise with less impact. The unique elliptical motion minimizes impact to the joints and lower back while exercising the muscles of the lower body--the key to effective aerobic exercise.
- Lower rates of perceived exertion. Minimizing impact makes workouts on the EFX seem easier than other aerobic exercises. This invites more vigorous exercise for better, quicker results.
- True ease of use. Just get on and go. The EFX closely simulates natural movement, so your users are comfortable from the moment they start exercising.
It's easy to see why exercising on an elliptical trainer is beneficial. But what makes Precor elliptical trainers so effective?
- Quality components and construction. An investment in anything Precor is an investment in the best-built fitness equipment in the business. To live up to that reputation, Precor uses state-of-the-art production processes, superior components, and cutting-edge technologies to ensure your Precor elliptical trainers will promote years of trouble-free use.
- The CrossRamp®. No other elliptical on the market has the CrossRamp, and it is this feature that makes Precor ellipticals true cross-trainers. By adjusting the incline of the ramp, users change the muscle groups being exercised. This ensures a variety of muscle involvement and minimal muscle fatigue. Beyond the physical benefits, the CrossRamp adds variety to users' exercise routine, which can enhance their motivation and keep them from reaching an exercise plateau.
- Smooth elliptical motion - in the forward and backward direction. Precor's ellipticals provide the closest simulation to walking and running without the impact, thanks to the CrossRamp and the rear flywheel. As you try other elliptical brands, be sure to notice the "kick" or "bounce" in your motion where your heel comes up off the platform. You will not experience this with Precor ellipticals: our superior design provides a true elliptical movement pattern.
- Dependant upper-body motion. Some Precor ellipticals have upper-body handlebars designed to work in unison with your users' stride. This ensures that users do not have to lean to complete the range of motion or otherwise compromise their proper exercising position.
- Exercise variety with pre-programmed courses. The most successful exercise programs are the ones that your members stick with over time, and Precor ellipticals help them in that endeavor by offering programs that are challenging and motivating.
- Quiet operation. No matter how hard your users exercise, your Precor elliptical trainers will be virtually silent.
- Cordless - Since there isn't a cord on any Precor elliptical trainer, you can place them practically anywhere in your facility.
Those are just a few of the reasons that Precor should be your choice when it comes to elliptical fitness crosstrainers. To really experience the difference and to feel the unique motion, it's best to experience Precor in person.
