Excellent buy for the whole family

We bought out Precor about 10 months ago and I've logged over 200 miles! This was a dramatic increase for me. Having a high quality product in our home has made a big difference in the frequency of our cardio workouts. My wife uses it all the time as well. Best purchase we've made for our health in a long time.

State of the art elliptical machine

Excellent machine for cardiovascular exercise with zero impact as experienced on a treadmill. The user interface display is very simple to follow and very versatile. It is nice to view the summary of workout per individual user. It creates friendly competition between family users. With proper installation, it is a very quiet machine allowing users to work out any time of the day.

Excellent

I love this. It was much easier on my knees than a treadmill. It does all I need it to do without being overly complecated.

Absolutely the best elliptical available

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner in a family practice office assisting patients with health and wellness goals. I advise them with behavior modification, diet selection and exercise programs for all around fitness goals. I only recommend Precor Elliptical EFX for the best choice in home equipment. I use myself as an example. I tell them that I own one and use it five times a week just like I recommend they do. I let them know that Precor is the "Gold Standard" in home exercise equipment and it is built to last a lifetime. I never recommend any other piece of equipment. I give them the address here in Tucson of Arizona Health. I LOVE my Precor. It is so easy to use, and has great preset programs, and is a comfortable stance during your workout. Simply the BEST EFX.

Love it!

I've used Precor elliptical machines in fitness clubs for years and loved them. When looking to create my own home gym, I went with "tried and true." I love the EFX 5.37 because it works and feels exactly like the Precor machines in the club!

Hey Precor! Want to make my experience even better? Find a way to link my elliptical workouts with my running workouts and diet tracking.

Disappointed

I purchased a Precor 5.37 Crosstrainer unit in Cypress, TX less than three months ago. My experience with this Precor 5.37 crosstrainer has been very disappointing. If you weigh 200 pounds or less, it might be a good machine. If you are, like me, heavier than that, I suggest you look for a different machine. At my weight, this unit makes a lot of noise during a workout. It "creaks" and "moans" and on the Interval progam 1-1 at an incline of 10 or more and a resistance of 8,there is a distinctive "knock" on the forward stride of the left foot pedal which sounds as if the pedal or the glide mechanism is hitting the ramp. It is very annoying and makes you think the unit is about to brake down or otherwise come apart. Since it is still under warranty we had repair man come out and he said nothing is wrong with the unit and it must be the way I am using it. (Always easier, and cheaper for them to sight "operator problem" than to admit machine might need adjustment.) Only conclusion I can come to is that I am just too heavy for this unit. So, if you weigh less than 235, this might be a good machine for you. If you weigh more than that...... (based on my experience) I suggest you look for a different machine. Hopefully I will be able to sell this unit and recoup a portion of my investment. If not, I guess I will have a $5,000 clothes hanger in my workout room. Heavyweights, don't waste your money. In hindsight, wish I had gone with Life Fitness or some other unit brand.

Absolutely love this machine

I purchased my Precor for two reasons: 1.) To stay fit and 2.) because of knee problems. The stride glides so smooth my knee pain is almost non-existent. The pain I do have is because of strength training. When I told my knee doctor I purchased this elliptical he said he is familiar with Precor and it is a good machine. I like the versatility of the stationary/movable arms. The display is larger, which allows for better visual of program progression. It was worth the investment.

Happy Owner

I just got my EFX 5.37 delivered today and I was so happy to get a quality workout in in the comfort of my own home. I have worked out on ellipticals for years at he gym. Precor has always been my first choice, I am so happy with my machine I may never go to a gym again.
