Precor AMT100i Elliptical Trainer Review

With all the elliptical trainers we've reviewed, the Precor AMT100i Series Adaptive Motion Trainer has to be one of the top rated. Even though it's a commercial grade elliptical machine with a steep price tag, don't think for a second you can't put it in your home gym!

Features

The Precor AMT100i has quite a variable stride length, which is it's most unique and appealing feature. While most elliptical machines have a stride length of 18-20 inches, the Precor AMT100i has the ability to change the stride length between 0-27 inches. This means anyone can go from deep lunges into a stair climbing motion, but still allows users to go into jogging and walking workouts. The movement options are endless on this machine!

Since you can adjust your stride, the AMT100i allows you to be in total control of your workout. No two workouts feel the same!

The contra lateral arm movement means that both the arms and legs are coordinated during workouts, just how they'd be if jogging outside. Arm movements on this elliptical trainer just felt better than those on others.

The AMT100i has four different workout programs, fat burner, heart rate control, manual and interval. All four programs are very similar to what you would find on other machines.

Another feature we really liked was the entertaining option that the precor provides. It comes with a personal viewing screen where you can watch TV or movies while you workout.

Regardless of price, if you can afford it the AMT100i will give you the best workout you've ever had. The AMT100i gave us one of the best workouts we've ever had.
