Experts agree that the best exercise treadmill is one that maximizes the user’s comfort and safety. Unfortunately, most home treadmills do very little to ensure these factors or ease of use. For many residents throughout the Roswell, Georgia and Gainesville, Georgia areas, this presents a serious problem. Attempting to work out on an unfit treadmill will only lead to discomfort and frustration. As a result, most will abandon their cardio routine before seeing any real results. However, it’s important to note that not all brand-name treadmills are poorly engineered. Like all Precor products, the treadmills from this manufacturer have been designed to provide users with a smooth, natural workout. To help those in the market for a new means of cardio exercise, Premier Fitness Source offers useful information regarding the biomechanics of the Precor treadmills they carry in each of their stores in Atlanta, Georgia and Alpharetta, Georgia.

Precor 811

Though PFS carries a wide selection of brand-name treadmills, they’re particularly excited by the Precor treadmills that are offered at each of their Atlanta and Alpharetta stores. This line of exercise treadmills has been tested in health facilities throughout the country, and has proven to be the ideal solution for those in need of a quiet, smooth, and safe workout. What sets Precor’s line apart from other home treadmills on the market is its superiority in terms of safety, durability, usability, biomechanics, and ergonomics. Two features in particular—Integrated Footplant Technology (IFT) and Ground Effects® technology—solve some of the biggest problems that users face when walking or running on a treadmill.

The Integrated Footplant Technology found in this line of Precor products works to match a user’s running stride throughout the entire workout. The staff members at Premier Fitness Source often point out to customers that when a person runs, their speed changes as they slow on impact with the running surface. Unfortunately, most exercise treadmills don’t register this change in speed, so the feet are pulled rearward causing knee discomfort and perhaps damage. Precor treadmills, on the other hand, read the energy spike in the foot strike and make tiny adjustments to fit the user’s stride. Not only does this Integrated Footplant Technology result in a more natural running experience, but it also minimizes fatigue and reduces joint stress.

Another characteristic of this line of premium, brand-name treadmills is Precor’s Ground Effects® Impact Control System (GFX). A common issue among residents throughout the Roswell and Gainesville areas is that traditional home treadmills don’t offer adequate support. All treadmill decks flex in order to absorb shock, reducing stress on the joints. However, some are so soft that while providing cushion, they make it difficult for users to push off the surface as they run. The GFX technology in Precor’s line creates more absorption in the front where the foot hits the belt, while adding more rigidity at the back for a firm push off. Plus, this innovative technology includes triangular-shaped shock absorbers at the front of the deck that adapts to the user’s build and workout.

The engineering that goes into each one of these exercise treadmills just shows how committed the manufacturer is to providing users with a natural, comfortable workout. It’s why Premier Fitness Source’s staff often recommends Precor products to customers in need of a better cardio experience.
