The Word on the Street
The Precor 9.31 treadmill is great for avid runners who are looking for a machine that can help them train and get the workouts that they desire. The 9.31 will be able to sustain a lot of use and will be able to last you for years to come. The only problem is that it is a basic treadmill that won’t be very appreciative to buyers who are looking for a machine with a lot of extras. Buyer love their Precor 9.31 and here is what a few have to say:
- “My wife and I recently purchased the precor 9.31 and we are very happy with it. The 9.31 is sturdy, heavy, and provides for pleasant and comfortable running experience. To start with, we were not sure which treadmill is right for us, but I am glad we’ve chosen the 9.31 with Footplant and Ground Effects Technologies. The cushioning adjusts really nice, both for my wife and myself. The 9.31 arrived by freight a week from the date of purchase with free super saver shipping. The assembly was smooth and relatively simple. Precor 9.31 feels as comfortable and as sturdy as the Precor machines at the gym club. The motor is really quiet and the treadmill does not shake or rattle while running.” – A. Welty
- “Originally I considered the Precor treadmills due to their #1 status in consumer reports. Obviously, they are number one for a reason. My knees really hurt when I tried running on the cheap treadmills, and therefore I was looking for a one with a good shock absorber. Usually I run up to 8 miles on 9.31 and no problems with my knees. I LOVE running on this treadmill.” – RunningMan
