5.0 out of 5 stars
Precor 9.27, July 16, 2011
This review is from: Precor 9.27 Treadmill (Sports)
The unit is exactly what was ordered. It is neither the most expensive nor the least expensive one. The difference in price comes from the breadth of computer functions. As far as I am concern we have all necessary functions for our workout. It was easy to assemble, it works good. It is considerably quieter and smoother than the unit it has replaced.

Great! We have an older Precor treadmill and love the new improvements on this one. Highly recommend it. Assembly is easy. You will need 2 people.

Good, solid unit. You can RUN on it, August 28, 2011
This review is from: Precor 9.27 Treadmill (Sports)
Despite the popularity of ellipticals, which do take the stress of joints, I prefer to use a treadmill for cardio exercise. The motion of walking, whether on an incline or level, is the most natural to me as I am a hearty walker on vacations.
There are 10 workout programs. So you can mix inclines, speeds, and do intervals. Mostly, however, do my own intervals, mixing a minute of running with minutes of walking, because I need to up the heart rate but I should not run for long on my joints.
The console is nothing fancy and easy to read, shows "calories burned" which I ignore--even though you can make it more by putting in your weight and age. You can measure your heart rate with the simple hand grips. In the fat-burning zone? Good. Need to up the work? Speed up with a touch of a button. It has a reading rack and a water bottle holder, but I find reading difficult on the treadmill (bifocals) so I watch a DVD or TV instead. Or listen to some bouncy music.
Once you set up your fave routine, you can start it up with one button touch. That's handy. I use the treadmill also to warm up for weights and kettlebells--for me, walking and jogging get the joints moving and the blood into the muscles. If you like to walk and you have indifferent weather, this is a nice addition to the home gym. For flooring reasons, mine is in the basement along with the iron stuff. Clang
