Eliminate dull workouts from your exercise routine. If you are reading this, it is time for a new elliptical and this awesome EFX Precor trainer will provide the boost you need to revamp your workout program. Once you exercise on this award winning Precor 546i, you will understand how exciting, interactive and most importantly effective, using a gym caliber Precor elliptical can be. Daily use of the EFX 546i Cross-Trainer is sure to cut fat, build muscle, burn calories and its durability is second to none. Because of its durability and effectiveness, this commercial grade Precor Cross-Trainer is being used today, in commercial fitness facilities across the United States. Precor's EFX 546i Experience Series Cross-Trainer has been one of the most highly reviewed, popular elliptical machines of the past five years and remains at the top of its class.

It really isn't hard to understand why Precor elliptical cross-trainers are everyone's favorite cardio machines at your local gym. Working out on this durable, natural feeling cross-trainer leads to an immediate realization of why Precor fitness equipment is so popular in gyms and homes spanning the globe. There is such a huge difference in the structural and mechanical qualities of commercial grade Precor machines versus the light-weight, flimsy and gimmicky fitness equipment. With an adjustable CrossRamp™ that ranges from 13° to 40° in elevation and has an adjustable stride length ranging from 21.2" to 24.7", users are able to target and exercise different muscles without having to get off of the machine to change the stride. The stride can be changed through the simple push of a button. Additionally, adjustable stride lengths allow for users of different body types and sizes to all feel comfortable on the same machine. Having family members of various heights is no problem if you use the 546i Experience Series. In other words, the Precor EFX 546i accommodates users ranging from short to tall. With a stride that mimics the natural running movements of its user, the Precor EFX 546i Experience Series Crosstrainer™ is an awesome, gut-busting cross-trainer, that has innovative technology, designed to eliminate impact, through user-friendly ergonomics.

For those that like to workout on an elliptical with an adjustable incline, as well as non-moving arms, the Precor EFX 546i is the perfect elliptical for you. Ahead of its time with premium bio-mechanics that provide a smooth, natural workout, the EFX 546i will deliver a total body workout, while leaving your body pain and ache free. Never underestimate the importance of keeping your knees, hips and other body parts healthy. Running outside on tough surfaces such as pavement and concrete, or running on budget treadmills with sub-par suspension systems can really be counter productive and leave your body in pain. Having a natural feeling stride determines whether or not an elliptical is right for you. Precor did an outstanding job in making sure their EFX Experience Series line was developed with the most ergonomically correct bio-mechanics possible. Well built, mechanically sound in order to truly replicate the natural running, jogging and walking motions of its users, Precor did a remarkable job with their Experience Series. One would be hard pressed to find a more professional, efficient, effective line of fitness equipment than the Precor Experience Series cardio equipment. At the end of the day, there are not any features on an elliptical that should matter, if the unit itself, does not naturally conform to your stride.

For example, its rear drive momentum is propelled by a heavy duty, precision balanced flywheel. In order for a cross-training session to be smooth and feel natural, the flywheel creating the resistance, must be structurally sound and well balanced. After all, the flywheel of a crosstrainer is like its engine, and ultimately, a crosstrainer with an award-winning flywheel, such as the EFX 546i, will outlast its competition. All of these little perfections that you can't see, hidden under the protective shroud, add up to create the smoothest and most durable cross-trainer in the health and fitness industry.

This Precor 546i Experience Series™ crosstrainer has a four-hundred pound weight capacity. Its heavy gauge steel frame is designed to remain stable and secure at all times, even during the most intense of workouts. As a company, Precor has taken it upon themselves to make sure fitness equipent is available for all of those who wish to be healthy and look great. what good is it if every piece of home fitness equipment or commercial gym gear has a mechanical capacity of 300 or 400 pounds? People that weight over 500 pounds and 600 pounds want to exercise too!

Since Precor started designing fitness equipment, they have made an effort to produce gym quality equipment, meant for all day usage, by people of all heights and weights. Over the past decade, Precor has legitimately produced some of the most recognized and award winning fitness equipment on the planet and their 546i Experience series elliptical underlines and highlights their brilliance.

PRECOR™: Approximately thirty years ago, after the engineering of an exercise rowing machine by David Smith in his basement, one of the most respected, popular and successful fitness equipment brands was created. Spawning from Mr. Smith’s development of an ergonomically correct rowing machine in 1980, Precor has turned into one of the worldwide leaders in the branding, design, production and marketing of premium gym equipment and fitness supplies. 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, pulse and other readouts, would entice people to exercise more often and with more focus. Ultimately, making the exercise equipment more interactive from a user perspective, intrigued people because they could monitor their results in real-time. Theoretical gains turned into tangible gains through the perspective of the user. Statistical feedback and workout analysis would make it so people did not have to guess how many calories they burned, or what their average pace was, they would know. 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, recumbent / upright bikes and rowing machines become more interactive for the buyer. 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 arrived, 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 at the top of the food chain when it comes to being a fitness equipment manufacturer. 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 was great, but 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 also 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.
 
Several years after Precor began their quest to become an international player with strength based fitness equipment, the production amounts of their Icarian strength line increased by 300%. The year of 2006 also ,marked the year that Precor introduced its Experience Series line and the
Athletic and sporting good brands such as Wilson, Atomic, Suunto, Mavic and Salomonare are all different product lines under their parent company, Amer Sports Corporation. Precor fitness equipment is also owned by Amer Sports Corporation, who according to Precor.com, ” is the worlds leading sports equipment company”. Since Precor has a mission to be “the most respected brand in fitness equipment (Precor.com)”, their relationship makes perfect sense.
 
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.
