If you are looking for recommendations of what Precor has to offer in both consumer ellipticals for home use and commercial ellipticals for gym use, below are some places to compare the Precor consumer versus commercial ellipticals:
- The Precor EFX commercial models suited best for gym use can be viewed at Precor's official website at precor.com and include the newly-improved 546i and 556i models that Precor upgraded in 2005. At that time in 2005, Precor added the commercial model EFX elliptical 576i to its high-end line of ellipticals and added a new "varied stride motion" feature to the first Total Body Elliptical Crosstrainer on the fitness market. The new 576i model gives the newly added benefit of adjusting stride motion to work all the various muscle groups in the body, and at the same time the company upgraded the EFX 546 and 556 models with design improvements and equipped all these commercial models with Quickstart and Smartrate.
- In the line of consumer ellipticals, Precor offers low-end trainers on the fitness market, which are ideal for home use; this includes the Precor EFX 5.17i (without wireless heart rate control), and the EFX 5.19 (recommended as a good buy for upper and lower body workout). Both these Precor consumer models run less than $3,000. The EFX 5.21i and EFX 5.23i are similar consumer ellipticals; however, the 5.21 does not offer heart rate controls and comes without upper body handle bars. The EFX 5.21 runs over $3,000, and the EFX 5.23, touted as the top-of-the-line consumer elliptical on the market today, runs over $4,000. The EFX 5.33 runs in the mid-$3,000 range and gives a strenuous lower body workout. Reviews for all five Precor consumer ellipticals are provided, with specifications, at EllipticalTrainers.com online.
The next time you're shopping around for Precor consumer versus commercial ellipticals, remember that Precor was the first company to make an elliptical crosstrainer machine on the fitness market in 1995, so, of course, sticking with the company that pioneered the elliptical crosstrainer makes perfect sense for a "quality workout." In addition, you may gain some valuable tips from professional gym managers and owners in discussing the reasons why some gyms, such as Gold's, use Precor exclusively for their commercial fitness equipment needs.
