Our thoughts on the Precor 5.17
|
While we are big proponents of quality in components and design manufacturing of an exercise machine, we do feel that price should be taken into consideration when deciding on a product.
Precor is renowned for being the company that invented the elliptical trainer. While there is no question that Precor uses some of the best materials and methodology for making an elliptical trainer, the EFX 5.17, its base models starts at $2,300.00. This model does NOT have dual handle bars for the upper body. Second, the EFX 5.17 does not have ANY pre-programmed courses. We feel that this should be a standard feature, especially at this price.
Having said that, Precor elliptical trainers have cross ramps which you can adjust to change the incline. You can use this cross ramp to add variety to your workouts and target different muscles. Second, Precor Elliptical trainers have some of the best warranties(up to 5 dyers on parts, lifetime on frames, and 1 year on labor.)
