Fitness Room Facts from Jon Dolph—Fitness Supervisor

January’s equipment introduction is the Precor Treadmill

A superior, low-impact workout : With Precor’s patented Ground Effects Impact Control (GFX®), they have one-up other treadmills by striking the perfect balance between absorption and support, inducing a smooth, natural running motion that reduces joint stress and minimizes fatigue. Shock absorbers at the front of the deck offer extra cushioning that absorb impact based on your height and weight. At the same time, a solid surface at the rear of the deck makes it easy to push off, reducing fatigue while helping to prevent injury.

Heart Rate Monitoring: Maximize your workout results whether you walk or run with touch heart rate monitoring.

Smart-Rate: Easily stay in your fat burn, cardio or peak target heart rate zone with Smart-Rate.

Preset Programs: Tailor your workouts to your fitness goals, stay challenged and add variety, with preset programs. Our Precor treadmills have runner/walking specific programs such as 1 mile, 5K, 10K and Heart Rate Control.

The Precor’s powerful motor runs cool and quiet, providing plenty of power and torque when you want it.
