Designed to Move
the way you do
With the unveiling of the first elliptical crosstrainer in 1995, the Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer™
(EFX®), Precor forever transformed how people work out. Rather than adapt your movements to
fitness equipment, the ground-breaking design of the EFX mimics how you naturally move. Today, that
pioneering concept helps make Precor the #1 elliptical brand in health clubs*.
The unique technology behind the EFX simulates the elliptical pattern of a running foot, reducing harmful
muscle and joint stress to help you work out longer. Because you experience smooth and natural movements,
your cardio workout feels easier and keeps you more engaged. Combined with our patented CrossRamp®
Technology, you gain an invigorating, challenging workout in the comfort of your own home.
And because the EFX is low-impact, helping you move fluidly, you’ll have a lower rate of perceived exertion (RPE).
That means your workout is so smooth that you don’t feel like you’re working as hard as you are. And that means you’ll
stay on the EFX longer. And the longer you stay on, the better your conditioning.
It’s challenging enough to consistently follow your fitness program – Precor makes it desirable by offering equipment that
you actually want to use. So condition yourself for those walks, runs, and climbs. Move naturally, with fitness and through life.

focus on. So you can work the muscles you want, when
you want, while minimizing muscle fatigue.

can emulate dierent workout courses such as hiking
or cross-country skiing. The type of workout and level
of diculty rests entirely with you and the goals you
want to achieve. This not only empowers you, but also
keeps your workouts fresh and energizing so you can
reach new exercise levels. Plus you’ll stay more active
and motivated, making you look forward to your daily
