Effective Elliptical Trainers – Precor And A.C.E. Create Class

Effective elliptical trainers are growing in popularity. One reason an effective elliptical trainer is so popular is their method of safe exercise. Precor is one company that makes elliptical trainers. Recently, Precor joined the American Council on Exercise to train fitness instructors how to instruct patrons in the use of the EFX Elliptical Fitness Crosstrainer manufactured by Precor.

The American Council on Exercise promotes safety among exercisers by protecting consumers from poor products and exercise techniques. They are a not for profit organization that offers effective fitness training and certification. They also test exercise products, like Precor ellipticals. Precor is one of the fitness industries leading manufacturers of elliptical trainers.

This effort by the two groups helped to create “The Precor Fit – Elliptical Crosstraining Class”, which was launched at the Club Industry 2000 Fitness Convention in Chicago. Six months previous to this launch, twenty-three Precor Master Trainers were inducted to help train small club and gym instructors around the country when they purchase the crosstraining class program.

In addition to the training session, clubs will also get a manual to help guide the classes they intend to teach to their elliptical patrons.

In a move that Precor hoped to start a new industry standard with, they turned to the American Council on Exercise to help design the program because the Council leads the industry in training techniques and information. They helped design the program and followed up the launch by networking professionals.

The Results – A Great Class

The result of this thought merger was an elliptical training class for fitness clubs and gyms. It is a twenty-five minute workout that helps patrons learn how to monitor their heart rate, increase their strength, and build their level of flexibility with an elliptical. Patrons use various body positions with the elliptical to simulate different sports during each session. Patrons can take this knowledge to their home ellipticals and practice safe, yet effective cross training with a home elliptical.
