Precor EFX 5.35 Ellipticalprecor efx 5.35 elliptical trainer

MSRP: $5,399

Bottom Line:Identical to the Precor 5.37 except for a few less preset workout features, this machine offers decent value for money, but still felt uncomfortable for taller users.

Thoughts:The Precor 5.35 elliptical trainer is identical to the 5.35 brings a lot of features to the table including, a 13-40degree incline ramp, 10 workout programs, and 20 resistance levels. Precor has always produced some of the highest quality elliptical trainers, however, we were a bit disappointed with the discomfort users over 5'4" felt while using the 5.35. For a $5,399 this elliptical machine offers durability, a solid warranty, and the Precor name, but the body type limitations were a bit disappointing. We would recommend considering some other manufacturers such as True Fitness or Life Fitness if you are looking for a more versatile machine in this price range.

Pros:

  • Precor was the first manufacturer to introduce ellipticals.
Cons:

  • Incline ramp is difficult to maintain.

  • The elliptical motion felt unnatural for users over 5'4" in height.
