Small enough to fit conveniently in your home, the EFX 5.25 Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer helps you exercise in a smooth, natural, low-impact way, with moving handlebars designed to deliver a full-body workout. Eight preset programs and 16 resistance levels help you tailor your workouts to your fitness goals--and they offer enough variety to keep you challenged and prevent plateauing. Warm-up and cool-down periods are built into the programs.

Ergonomic, moving handlebars let you tone and condition your entire body.

Precor CrossRamp technology lets you target specific muscles by adjusting the angle.

Touch and telemetry heart rate monitoring with Smart Rate instantly analyzes your heart rate when you enter your age and weight. The Smart Rate technology helps you stay in your fat burn, cardio, or peak target zone for a more efficient cardio and weight-loss workout. The elliptical trainer's LCD display also shows you calories burned, distance traveled, strides per minutes, and workout time. The convenient tap control provides an audible click when you press a key.

Ergonomic, moving handlebars let you tone and condition your entire body while maintaining comfortable posture and proper technique. The patented, manually adjustable CrossRamp feature offers three positions--high, medium, and low--allowing you to target specific muscles or all major lower-body muscle groups by adjusting the angle from 15 degrees to 25 degrees. The ramp is made of welded steel and covered with a black powder coat finish.

Precor's patented, low-impact EFX motion is smooth and natural, providing a low rate of perceived exertion to make your workouts more comfortable, even when you're working out strenuously. This patented motion allows your heels to remain in contact with foot pedals, reducing muscle and tendon stress. Drink and accessory holders are conveniently located and ideal for portable music players. The EFX 5.25 measures 76 inches long by 62 inches high by 29 inches wide and weighs 184 pounds. Each foot pedal measures 15 inches long by 7 inches wide.

Great piece of equipment, one little flaw...
By TW
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2S82YQ4A2NC2H The Precor has been great. It's quiet and easy to use.

I uploaded a little video of it.

It is very heavy so make sure that it's delivered to the spot you want it.

Compared to other ellipticals I've used in the gym, this one is the best because it feels great, no over extension, easy to operate.

The problems I've had were a little knocking sound soon after using it. I found out that one of the bolts was a little loose. I probably didn't tighten it enough.

Tightening the bolts made the noise go away.

The other issue is that it doesn't have an automatic shutoff. It also can't be turned off from the display panel.

You have to reach back all the way to the bottom of the machine to turn it off. So that's the most annoying flaw it has.

Other than that, the training programs are good.

Make sure to measure your ceiling so you don't put it in a spot that where you might hit your head if the ramp goes up. Where we have it in the basement, the ceiling is low, that's why I bring it up.

We've had family come over and use it, and they like it as well.

Wanted one until I tried it
By Mary Cox
Went to test one of these new "generation" Precors with the steel crossramp. Did not like it at all! The smoothness and fluid motion of the extruded aluminum was not there. This model was also not long enough stride for me even though I am 5'3". Buyer beware and try before you buy. Rated 2star because Precors crossramp is the best elliptical design, but the "new" metal ruins the experiance.

Frustrating disappointment so far
By Jon
I chose a Precor because of the quality and reputation of the company, and I bought it from Amazon for the same reason. After you read the below you might come to the conclusion I have: Amazon might not be the place to buy this and/or that Precor is not a 5 star operation. While delivery was fine and it has only been 1 week, I'm writing this out of a bit of frustration with not being able to use my product yet and fear for when I do. When it arrived there were two things wrong the machine:

1) The wheels on the foot pedals had popped out of their tracks.

I was able to pop them back in with some force and this might not seem like a big deal, but frankly this is supposed to be a precision machine built to conform to your stride and movements. The instructions had nothing on that and its supposed to ship with them in the glide tracks and the pin locking them (my pin was out?). It probably has not impacted the machine, but who knows? With the amount of strides and stress that will be put on this that might affect the way it stands up over time. And if the metal or alignment changed just a little bit then even if I don't visually notice a difference over a year or two of use who knows what impact that will have on my legs/body. When I spoke to customer support I had one person say they had never heard of that and another say they have seen it. Disconcerting either way.
2) There was a piece missing and the assembly guide was wrong/old - the Ferrite was not in the packet.
My unit came with instructions that did not match what Precor usually sends out. It had different pieces and steps then what customer support eventually sent me. My unit was missing a ferrite box used to shield electromagnetic radiation that interferes with other devices. The guide I had said to use it, but it didn't come in the box with the other pieces. The different guide version didn't list the part, but indicated it was on the wires already. My unit has neither the part separately or on the wire. So I had to call customer service - the first person had never heard of the part, the second realized we had different versions. I then had to call a service company to set up a time next week to come by, and then after assessing the problem they need to come by again just to fix this. Its covered by warrenty but what a pain. And I could probably fix it myself going to an electronics store...but that would void the warrenty.

So...I'm stuck here not using my elliptical and pretty frustrated. I think Amazon might have mixed and matched the units with different part kits ... or maybe my unit was a return at some point? No way to tell but in any case I expected a pristine working complete unit when I paid this kind of money, and whether it was Amzaon or Precor that's responsible for the mix up/delay I'm frustrated. I would either buy from a local servicer or look for a different companies elliptical that ships complete matching kits.
