Precor AMT 100i - Certified Remanufactured

When the phrase "The Best Life Has to Offer" was first used, it spawned during a conversation between fitness experts sitting around a campfire, trying to come up with ways to describe this Precor™ AMT 100i™, or otherwise known as the Adaptive Motion Trainer. With unique capabilities such as an adjustable stride and an unlimited range of motion, Precor gave the fitness industry a gift and exactly what it needed, when they created this health club quality, Adaptive Motion Trainer. Although Precor has an outstanding reputation for designing and developing commercial and home fitness equipment, until they created the AMT 100i, Precor had not yet developed a cardiovascular machine that adapted to the walking, jogging and running motions of its user, stride for stride and step for step, with as much precision as the AMT. Being able to naturally conform to its users bio-mechanical movements and running motions, is a revolutionary feature, and just recently mastered.

The greatest and most important feature of the Precor AMT 100i™ is the fact that the stride length and running motions are determined by the user on the machine, and nothing else. While the majority of elliptical trainers have a set stride length that can not be adjusted, others have an adjustable stride that can be adjusted manually, or adjusted on the fly with the push of a button. What sets this extraordinary Precor trainer so far apart from the rest is that the Precor AMT 100i has an adjustable stride length, that the user adjusts, based on their own preferences and comfort level. Changing the stride length anywhere from 0" to 27" is very simple, and it can be done without pressing any buttons, turning any knobs, or screwing in and out nuts and bolts. The stride conforms to the user and his or her own natural running motion and the stride length and motion can be changed from one stride to the next. In other words, feel free to extend your legs throughout your workout as far as you can, just as if you were running outdoors. Being able to adjust the stride and tension at your own discretion allows you to stay fresh and not get bored.

Through being able to adjust their stride, the AMT allows users of all shapes and sizes to naturally duplicate their stride length without having to getting on and off different ellipticals until they find one that conforms to their running motion. Another solid benefit of having an adjustable stride are that it enables the user to develop and tone different muscle groups. People can work on different muscle groups in their legs and buttocks through smooth and natural rhythmic motions, enabled through stride adjustments, designed to mimic the customary stride of the user.

Adjustable strides also allows users to change their pace and bio-mechanics at their convenience. Also, people of different shapes and sizes are all able to use this extraordinary Precor trainer, and adjust the stride, based on his or her needs. For example, take Amy and Joe, husband and wife for over 15 years. Amy is 5'3 and Joe is 6'2. Clearly, their stride lengths will not be identical, meaning that the same elliptical that works well for Joe, is not going to work as well for Amy. The only way that they can both be comfortable using the same elliptical, is if they buy a unit that allows them to adjust the stride length. Having an elliptical with an adjustable stride such as this eliminates the need for various ellipticals to accommodate different user characteristics.

For example, if you are purchasing this unit for your home or a health club, you will have people with a wide variety of stride lengths due to variations in height, leg length and so on. But, with this innovative model, each user can find his or her own comfort level (perfect stride length) with the simple push of a button. The stride is adjusted electronically rather than the user having to stop their workout and manually adjust the stride. Automatic adjustment is key to an uninterrupted workout, which is why it is awesome that you can adjust this stride on the fly, during the course of your exercising, without having to stop.

An adjustable stride length also allows users to develop different muscle groups and target different areas of their butt and thighs. It is key to work out muscle groups that are unaccustomed to physical activity, that way, you burn fat in places you would never imagine! Being able to focus on different muscle groups is an extremely important factor to keeping your workout routines creative and cutting-edge.

Your mind and body work together and your entire body performs it best when both are intricately involved and on the same page. When you get on the AMT you realize within minutes that it is the best elliptical cross-trainer of all time. It is made with thick steel framework and the unit weighs close to 600 pounds, which highlights and underlines its durability. Not only is its structural base and framework as solid as a tank, but its ability to perfectly mimic the walking, jogging and running motions of users that come in all shapes and sizes, is what truly illustrates its most important feature.

The Experience Series™ display console is another factor that eliminates fatigue and workout indifference. It allows users to choose from a wide range of challenging exercise programs and motivational workout options. Please remember to use the various programming options due to their proven ability to maximize results.

Maximizing results through user-interactive programming will help you save time and remain healthy. In order for one to truly get the most out of their home fitness equipment, first and foremost, they must like the equipment itself. It is hard enough to get a solid workout in after a long day at work that the last thing any over us want is some sub-par elliptical trainer that takes up space and breaks down 1 out of every 4 times we use it. With top quality fitness gear, one is able to reach his or her full potential and really get the most out of their physical training. To reiterate what was mentioned earlier, an awesome trainer such as the Precor AMT 100i feels so great because not only is it sturdy as a mountain, but more importantly, its bio-mechanics do a phenomenal job in duplicating the natural stride length of its user. No limits. No boundaries. Just a free flowing, natural, user-defined, running and walking motion.

PRECOR™ GYM EQUIPMENT:

Approximately thirty years ago, after the engineering of a stationary fitness rowing machine by David Smith in his basement, one of the most respected, popular and successful fitness equipment brands was birthed. Spawning from Mr. Smith’s development of an ergonomically correct rowing machine in 1980, Precor has turned into one of the international leaders in the branding, design, production and marketing of fitness equipment. No more than 3 years after David finished the design of the rowing machine in his basement, he was joined by the bright and fitness oriented opportunist, Bill Potts. Mr. Potts brought his knowledge of electronic functionality to the table and sought out to integrate unique exercise programmability for users, as well as easy to read statistical feedback, into the exercise equipment Smith was designing. Mr. Potts believed that allowing people to monitor their stats such as speed, time, distance and other readouts, would increase the popularity of their workout equipment and make using gym equipment more enjoyable for the regular user. Ultimately, making the exercise equipment more interactive from a user perspective, intrigued people because they could monitor their results in real-time. Knowing how fast or long one would have to exercise in order to surpass their previous records, proved to be highly motivating and helped treadmills, stationary exercise bikes and rowing machines become more favorable through the eyes of potential buyers. Through the assistance of Mr. Potts, the popularity of exercise programming options in fitness equipment, and the popularity for Precor fitness equipment as a whole, began to take off. Once 1985 hit, several more additions had been made to the once one man band that was Precor; the Precor brand expanded to carrying treadmills, exercise bikes and rowing machines.
 
As momentum gained through popular reviews, it became clear that Precor fitness equipment was rated to be at the top of the industry in the near future. However, in order to be an industry leader in fitness supplies, Precor had to be a player in the national heath clubs and gyms. Without substantial sales to commercial fitness centers and gyms, it is hard to be a real player in the business of fitness equipment manufacturing in the United States. Therefore, proving the foresight of fitness experts true, in 1990, Precor entered the health club scene, with a series of commercial treadmills, built to withstand all day wear and tear, by people ranging from skinny to fat, and tall to small. There is a major difference in the structural integrity and mechanical capacities between commercial (health club) and residential exercise equipment. Whereas a solid home treadmill can be used at most up for up to four hours a day, a gym quality treadmill can be used for up to four times as long. Precor now had their own line of commercial treadmills. Precor now had a line of heavy duty gym equipment with the necessary the size, mechanical capacities, speed and structural integrity,  to compete with the other leading brands in the fitness equipment industry.
 
The year of 1995 was another breakthrough year for Precor, as they invented the first elliptical cross-trainer and put it on the map in the form of their Precor EFX 544 cross-trainer. The Precor EFX 544 was designed with an adjustable cross-ramp and fixed arms. The adjustable incline ramp makes it easy for users to work out different muscle groups in their lower body through the simple adjustment of the angle on the incline ramp. The EFX 544 was so popular that Precor decided to continue their production of elliptical cross-trainers for usage in health clubs and homes. One of the first additions to the Precor line of elliptical cross-trainers was a cross-trainer with moving upper body arms. After already having the cardiovascular fitness industry in the palm, through the acquisition of Pacific Fitness in 1998, Precor made giant strides towards building a successful line of strength equipment. A result of this merger was the extremely popular Precor Stretch Trainer, that is a favorite of fitness trainers and gym patrons.
 
In 1999, Premark International, which was parent company of the Precor brand at the time, was bought out by International Tool Works. Soon after ITW acquired Precor, popularity for Precor increased, as their equipment become more affordable and focused on consumer needs. With a bigger bankroll and more steam built up, Precor was acquired by Amer Sports in 2002 as part of a 180 million dollar deal. Amer Sports coming into the picture resulted in Precor changing their primary goals. After years of revolving around industrial products, Precor’s new aim was to become an international distributor of a wider range of fitness equipment and sporting goods.

With all of the success and momentum that Precor had built open over the last 2 decades, they still did not have a dominant and consumer friendly line of strength equipment. That all changed in 2004 when Precor established an Icarian line of strength equipment. Icarian strength equipment can be found anywhere from private home gyms to large health club franchises. The line of strength equipment itself has all home gym products ranging from bench presses, to multi-station and plate loaded home gyms, to weight racks and other strength training machines.
 
A very popular feature on the Precor cardio line of fitness equipment originated in 2004 as well. The cardio theater feature on Precor cardiovascular equipment, came as a result of their relationship with an entertainment technology firm, ClubCom. For example, if you are familiar with the Precor 956i Treadmill, it can be purchased with a cardio theatre attached to the display console. Having an entertainment center to use when you exercise has proven to allow some people to workout up to 75% more than they did on the same treadmill, without the cardio theater. The year of 2006 marked the year that Precor introduced its Experience Series line and the Cardio Theater was an option for all Experience Series treadmills and elliptical cross-trainers. After gaining the support of consumers across the U.S., the Cardio Theater went on to win awards at the annual international product design competition, hosted by Business Week.
 
Around this time is when Precor struck a deal with the Hilton Family, that would make Precor gym equipment the main supplier of Hilton hotels such as the Double Tree, Embassy Suites and The Hilton. Catapulting Precor into the mainstream, the widely publicized commercial deal between Precor and Hilton Hotels, cemented Precor’s status as a premier brand in fitness equipment.
 
A great majority of health clubs and gyms have Precor elliptical cross-trainers, treadmills, stretch trainers, exercise bikes and strength machines. Ultimately, the litmus test for whether or not fitness equipment is solid, is whether or not the fitness equipment in question can be found a favorite amongst members at health clubs and commercial gym facilities. In 2005 & 2006, Precor won the award for “Top Supplier”, from Golds Gym and Anytime Fitness. Since Precor fitness equipment can be found across the United States at almost every major health club, and is a consumer best buy award winner,  we feel safe in saying  that we place Precor in the upper echelon of fitness equipment.
