The Precor C956 treadmill was built to withstand the most rigorous commercial environments. A commercial model that has been around for 10 years, the Precor C956 treadmill has been updated to the latest Precor technologies including the Ground Effect Impact Control System that ensures a soft cushioned running surface. The Integrated Footplant Technology accommodates foot speed with each changing step. Designed for minimal maintenance, the Precor C956 has a cool-running 3.2 hp continuous duty motor for heavy-duty power and torque (commercial treadmills are designed to be used 12-18 hours per day). It has a 10-year track record of reliability in the health clubs and fitness centers. Maintenance is a breeze since it features advanced diagnostics, modular system, solid-state drivers, reversible deck, and a self-lubricating belt system. The C956 also features the SmartRate Polar Heart Rate readout which shows you when you are exercising in your Target Heart Rate Zone during cardio workout.
