Which Precor Treadmill Should You Buy?

When choosing a Precor treadmill, start with how fast your users run, whether you need decline, and what console experience you want.

  • Best Basic Commercial Option: The 932i is a solid choice for facilities that need 12 mph speed, 15 percent incline, and a wider 56 by 22 inch deck without extra console complexity.
  • Best Early Value With Larger Deck: The 946i offers a 60 by 20 inch deck, 12 mph top speed, and more programs, making it a better fit for general club use.
  • Best Classic High Speed Pick: The 954i and 956i provide 16 mph capability, 60 by 20 inch decks, and stronger builds. Choose the 956i if you want more programs and a richer LED interface.
  • Best Classic Decline Model: The 966i adds decline down to minus 3 percent and supports users up to 500 pounds, ideal for performance running and heavier users.
  • Best Mid Range Modern Choice: The TRM 823 with P20 is a good move into newer frames and consoles without going all the way to P30 or P80 touchscreens.
  • Best Club Level Workhorses: The TRM 833 and TRM 835 V2 with P30 consoles are strong picks for high traffic gyms. The 835 V2 is better for larger users thanks to the 60 by 22 inch deck and higher weight rating.
  • Best Premium Touchscreen Treadmills: The TRM 885 with P80 or P82 consoles are your top choices if you want touchscreens, decline, 16 mph top speed, and the most advanced data and interface.
