Precor 9.35 Treadmill - $4999.00
Really expensive… but really neat!

Oh hello again, this time around I will discuss the Precor 9.35 Premium Series treadmill. This treadmill is actually one of the best on the market, but it comes with a pretty hefty price. I will explain each of the main features of this treadmill, so enjoy



Starting with the Precor 9.35 design, we begin to understand why this treadmill has gotten the current level of fame and why it is priced where it is at. This treadmill was designed to be efficient, reliant, and well built. One feature that the Precor is almost always noted on is the long lifetime. This machine was built to work at its peak efficiency for years and still feel new. In light of this fact, the manufacturer’s warranty is quite generous, but even so, it is doubtful that you will need to use it for quite a while.

The warranty was created as follows: The warranty for the actual frame is set to 10 years. I doubt that anything would happen to the sturdy steel frame, but if anything does within 10 years your five thousand dollars has not just gone to waste. The parts (really anything that’s not specifically mentioned in the following sentences) is set for a time of 2 years. The high wear items, such as the headphone jack, USC connector, and iPod connector are only set for 90 days. Presumably these are easy to fix even if broken afterwards, but the best thing would be just to not take too many risks with those. No matter whether you are going to buy this machine or something else, it’s a good idea to know what a Labor warranty is. Considering that the average age of users on this site, I would average to be around 15-18 (although I don’t really know for sure), most of you probably don’t even know what this is. It’s good to know so that you do not believe that the company is cheating you afterwards when you are going in to get repairs. What labor warranty is, is how long will you not have to pay for the actual fixing. This is different from the actual parts, a critically wrong mistake that is often made. For example, the labor warranty for Precor 9.35 is actually only one year. As we stated before the parts are under warranty for two years. During that one year time span, the manufacturers will pay for the fixing both for the parts and for the guy that is actually fixing the treadmill. After that one year is passed, assuming you are still in the two year margin and some of your parts fail. That means that they’ll get someone to fix and replace necessary parts. The parts will be free, the guy who is fixing them won’t . Now that I think of it, it actually works for the High wear items as well. Supposedly you don’t feel like the high wear items are that much of a cost, so you decide it’s just better for you to use the USB connector, iPod connector, etc, and say after the 90 days it breaks. You can still get it fixed for free, but you’ll have to pay for the new parts. See that’s not very well known among many people, but if you learn it now, then it will help you reduce the a number of unexpected expenses in whatever you make an investment in buying. The upholstery is under warranty for six months. I wouldn’t let younger kids come around and jump and play on it. That actually falls under ‘misuse’ and if the upholstery fails, the warranty is not valid. Therefore that’s a pretty important tip that you need to keep in mind if you decide to get this treadmill or something of the sort. Other (more of a category consisting of hand grips, end caps, cables, selector pins, shrouds, and things of the like, different from the parts) only is under warranty for one year. There, you should have a pretty clear idea of the actual warranty limits, which is pretty crucial if you are going to go to such lengths as to buy an expensive treadmill such as this one.

Here’s a pretty nice video about some of the cool calorie burning counts coming with the machine, it will be more thoroughly discussed later, but it’s good to learn the basics.

What it just showed was you being able to input how many calories to burn and there are options to show how much time it will take to do so at the current pace, meaning that you can decrease time by increasing speed and / or incline. Likewise, you can increase time by slowing down and / or decreasing incline. The video was only about two minutes long, but it still was able to grab my attention. Just ignore the ads, because this video was actually created with a specific store in mind, focus more on what the guy is actually showing. Another thing, the guy didn't invent this, he is actually just the shop owner that is just showing it out. I have to admit, just watching it once makes you think it's pretty good. Now I'm about to go into length on several features regarding this machine, many of which are even cooler than the one shown in the video. Stay awake, this may take a while!

The precor 9.35 treadmill features an integrated speed synchronizing technology. What this does is, quite simply, adjusting the speed of the belt to the speed of your foot. Say that your foot was a little too fast for the belt, the machine will compensate which just lets you run naturally at your normal running stride. I searched around for some more clarifying information about this, but there was not too much for it although almost all the sites I visited referenced the previously stated facts. There was one pretty nice ‘trivia’ I think that would be pretty cool if true. Not sure how legit the fact is, but I’m fairly certain of the validity of the website. Anyways, the fact is that it is able to make minute adjustments in speed up to 710 times per seconds for your personal natural running stride. With equipment as accurate as this, that would be extremely close to your actual stride. If the natural stride is not compensated for then you might feel the all-too-often-felt drag that pulls your foot backwards as you are running. My current treadmill has this problem and the main thing wrong with this is that you are wasting energy on a rougher run rather than a more realistic, natural and smoother run that you can get from this treadmill.

The suspension system within the Precor 9.35 actually serves to cushion the impact of your feet hitting the belt. This reduces the impact on your joints and gives a more stable lateral (up to down) movement during your workouts.

Now for the actual panel:


The console is clear with many cool features. QuickStart (which is where the treadmill just automatically starts without prior input of settings for easy accessibility), Programs, and User IDs are quickly accessibly. A unique workout log serves to record workouts and works in matrimony with a personal best tracker. What these two allow you to do is try to improve by beating your previous best score. One of the best human motivators is competition. Why not compete against yourself? It is quite a good way to keep interested within actually having a workout. The console features a shelf that allows you to be reading something while you are having your run. An option menu serves to enhance your experience with the Precor 9.35. What it does is allow you to further customize your personal information if you so choose, allowing the machine to make the workout best for you personally. This includes you being able to enter your weight and age. Another cool option in the options menu the ability to select a goal you want to work towards. This allows you to keep working hard towards a goal and sticking with it.

For safety the procor 9.35 has a few options. Just like the treadmill I currently have the Procor 9.35 has magnet protection, so say the machine stops working and goes to 12 mph and won’t stop (which I truly doubt would ever happen), then all you have to do is knock off the magnet and the machine will turn off. Of course, you don’t always have to do this to stop the belt. Sometimes just hitting stop will work, but the magnet is pretty cool. You don’t really have to worry about the magnet falling off or losing it. For the treadmill I currently have the magnet is tied to a string near the designated spot. A quick knock off. My old magnet actually started slidding off as its magnetic power was diminishing, what I found out with these types of treadmills is that you can just use another magnet and it should work. For me it happened to work with a few of these old magnetix, haha, but yeah, it did work. Another safety feature that works towards your benefit is a Password protection, now this is something that my current one doesn’t have. It’s a pretty good deterrent for kids that have snuck in if they can’t even get it started, and for their own safety too, wouldn’t want them to set the speed really high and get flung across the room Seeing as it’s pretty darn heavy and is probably going to be around for about a decade, it’s going be there for quite a while in which anything can happen with people you know or don’t know finding it, so it’s just another security on any personal information you put in there and for the safety of the person in the room themselves.

The heart rate monitor serves to allow you to train your heart rate and get it into the desired range that will better reflect a healthier heart. Just using the handgrips (which is how many of the treadmills find out your heart rate these days) it can figure out your heart rate. It is just another way in which you can better use the Procon 9.35 to work towards a goal of your choice. There also is a Polar chest strap which is able to wirelessly monitor your heart rate and even considered to be more accurate. Another option to transform your workout experience.

Smart Rate, one of the better features of the Procor 9.35, calculates the proper heart rate needed for you to burn fat based on your current age. Another cool tidbit is that it will flash when you are within your goal range while working out.

One major problem with my current treadmill is the noise. That thing is so loud that I just have to bring my iPod along and set it to one of the highest volumes just to try to tune out the noise while I am running. The steel crowned drive and roller keeps the belt centered and eliminates a good amount of noise. If there is one feature that I would absolutely love to have on my current treadmill, it would be this one, without a doubt.

The User IDs were briefly mentioned before, but it’s a good idea to discuss a little bit about them considering the fact that you are probably not going to be the only one using the machine. Maybe you will, but considering the price, I expect that this machine is mostly bought by families rather than those wealthier individuals. The precor 9.35 allows for 4 users to have IDs so that they can each have saved personalized workouts and quick retrieval of all the information that they had inputted earlier on in the workout.

The Procor has an accessory holder, which means that you can keep your water bottle, iPod, books, magazines, and more.


Now for the negative. With such good machines such as these, as much as it pains me to tell the truth, they have their problems too. With the Procor 9.35, one of the best treadmills that are for sale today, the problem really has nothing to do with the great equipment itself, but rather the price. With a price of $4999.00 dollars, there is a lot of money going into this machine, which is hard to think about getting when there are many many Treadmills that can better be used for your daily life for thousands of dollars less on the market. Chances are that unless you are a dedicated runner that probably has a chance at the Olympics, this can be a little too good to spend your money on. The main argument against this negative is the durability and long lifespan. If you are going to wear out your treadmill / it’s going to break apart within a few years, then you might as well get this one that will last quite a long time. There are two really main ones that are like the Procor 9.35, and I'm pretty sure that they are just previous versions of this one. One of them, the 9.33 is limited in the number of users you can have and the 9.31 doesn't have any users I believe, just one main save. So if you are going to downgrade, then you are going to run into these types of problems where features where I have described in this thread are seriously reduced or even gone, which would probably be annoying. Of course, even if you want to get either of the other two, they are going to cost you a few thousand dollars. The best way I think to actually go about buying this is get this, the best one for and your family with each of you chipping in a sizable amount. Therefore, you get all the features of this one, which is a lot better than most other ones and you also are able to pay a lot less than if you were to buy this by yourself. Works best with a large family, but even amongst two people, that's cutting the amount you have to pay in half! And of course there are four USERIDs so you both can use it. I just think of that as the best way of going about this rather than limiting the features that you can access. And I'm really speaking as you as a normal person, not a complete going out of your way to exercise 24/7 type of person. If you are wanting a good treadmill and you can share the costs with three other people, than what I'm saying is that this is a really valid choice at that point because you have cut the costs and made it go so low.

The specifications are important to know if you are seriously looking to buy the treadmill, but I find them pretty cool to look at even if I’m not.
1. The Speed is from 0.5 to 12 MPH. Pretty reasonable, I believe. My current treadmill goes from 1-12 MPH, so there is not that much of a difference this respect.
2. The incline can go from 0 to 15 percent. The reason behind this as I said before is to burn calories more quickly as you are simulating running up some sort of slope.
3. The decline can go down to -2 percent. When you are in the negative percent, what this means is that you are actually simulating running downhill. While I doubt it would burn that much calories or even be steep enough to be a true running downhill, it would doubtless be a feature to try.
4. The Weight is 335 pounds. It’s heavy enough to avoid being easily stolen. Quite a pain to move around though if you are reorganizing. The best thing would be to decide beforehand where exactly you would like to place it. Then, acting on that decision beforehand sticking with it.
5. The running surface is 22 x 56 inches. The increased width allows less constricted running and more comfortability.
6. The diameter of the roller is 2.5 inches. Again this roller’s significance is that it keeps the belt centered.
7. Comes with 23 programs total. a) A 1 mile run in included b) a 10k course is included c) a 2-mile course is included d) a 5k course is included e and f) 2 custom courses included g) fitness test included h) 2 goals included i) 5 heart rate zones included f) 4 interval (like a track setting a certain interval for each round) is included g) 1 manual is included h) 1 random is included i) 1 track course is included j) 1 walk course is included and k) 1 weight loss course is included. That should all add up to 23, I hope. One thing that I think I should make clear is about the actual personal score keeping having to do with this actual point. What’s really cool is that for each personal user, you have the ability to save the score of each of the 23. Not just one. Maybe that was just common sense to you, but it’s good for clarifying purposes.
8. The dimensions are 79 x 34 x 56 inches.
9. The machine is in the Precor home premium home series. (There are a few more in the series that have almost all of the same functions as this one for a discounted price, they may be something that you may want to look into)
10. The shock absorption is the Ground effects impact control.
11. The power is a 120v plug-in. This is truly just a fancy way of saying that it fits into your normal house outlet if you live in America. If you live elsewhere you probably have to get an adapter for this one. Also another cost comes up here that I didn’t get the chance of talking about before. If you are actually using this enough to makes it’s worth real, then you are going to have to consider the energy costs that actually occur because you are using this. It’s a small deterrent for most who really want to get this, but I think that for some it may be the deciding factor. Last time I'm really going to pound it hard, just because although it's a great treadmill, all these expenses can be so annoying if you are not aware of them.

Here are a few youtube videos that you might find helpful:

I actually really liked this video as this one, while not a professional video, actually shows you how the console looks up close and goes through a good number of the main basic functions. She goes through and explains a few buttons, so that’s pretty helpful. A few step by step instructions. I seem to have gotten a headache when she tried to show stuff while walking, but it should not truly be that much of a bother.


This is a professional ad of a Precor 9.35 treadmill. It shows on the screen a few of the main features that I discussed earlier. It’s pretty cool to watch.

What it talks about at the end is the assembly which I actually never went through, but is pretty important to know. It’s quite a task to assemble, so you are going to need some time if you want it to be done for free. Preferably you want several people to be working on this at once, as the video states, it should only take a few hours. I personally would rather have a professional assembly so that there is no problems with it once it is put together, requiring me to back track again. The negative about that is that it actually costs money to hire someone to put it together, so you would need to plan ahead for that and keep that in your cost calculations.


I’ll just put this one here again for quick reference.

Where you can get it: Several sites sell it for about the exact same price of $4999.00. I would just suggest Amazon out of them
Amazon Website
Seeing as I wasn’t able to find anything cheaper than $4999.00, if you do see some for less for the Precor 9.35 please feel free to post the link below so I can add it. I have searched at least 3-4 vendors selling this.


I hope you enjoyed reading this thoroughly long wishlist thread. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask them, I might not know all the answers, but chances are that I have a good enough knowledge to answer any that you might seriously have.

Happy exercising!

For safety the procor 9.35 has a few options. Just like the treadmill I currently have the Procor 9.35 has magnet protection, so say the machine stops working and goes to 12 mph and won’t stop (which I truly doubt would ever happen), then all you have to do is knock off the magnet and the machine will turn off. Of course, you don’t always have to do this to stop the belt. Sometimes just hitting stop will work, but the magnet is pretty cool. You don’t really have to worry about the magnet falling off or losing it. For the treadmill I currently have the magnet is tied to a string near the designated spot. A quick knock off. My old magnet actually started slidding off as its magnetic power was diminishing, what I found out with these types of treadmills is that you can just use another magnet and it should work. For me it happened to work with a few of these old magnetix, haha, but yeah, it did work. Another safety feature that works towards your benefit is a Password protection, now this is something that my current one doesn’t have. It’s a pretty good deterrent for kids that have snuck in if they can’t even get it started, and for their own safety too, wouldn’t want them to set the speed really high and get flung across the room Seeing as it’s pretty darn heavy and is probably going to be around for about a decade, it’s going be there for quite a while in which anything can happen with people you know or don’t know finding it, so it’s just another security on any personal information you put in there and for the safety of the person in the room themselves.

The heart rate monitor serves to allow you to train your heart rate and get it into the desired range that will better reflect a healthier heart.

2. The incline can go from 0 to 15 percent. The reason behind this as I said before is to burn calories more quickly as you are simulating running up some sort of slope.
3. The decline can go down to -2 percent. When you are in the negative percent, what this means is that you are actually simulating running downhill. While I doubt it would burn that much calories or even be steep enough to be a true running downhill, it would doubtless be a feature to try.
4. The Weight is 335 pounds. It’s heavy enough to avoid being easily stolen. Quite a pain to move around though if you are reorganizing. The best thing would be to decide beforehand where exactly you would like to place it. Then, acting on that decision beforehand sticking with it.
5. The running surface is 22 x 56 inches. The increased width allows less constricted running and more comfortability.
6. The diameter of the roller is 2.5 inches. Again this roller’s significance is that it keeps the belt centered.
7. Comes with 23 programs total. a) A 1 mile run in included b) a 10k course is included c) a 2-mile course is included d) a 5k course is included e and f) 2 custom courses included g) fitness test included h) 2 goals included i) 5 heart rate zones included f) 4 interval (like a track setting a certain interval for each round) is included g) 1 manual is included h) 1 random is included i) 1 track course is included j) 1 walk course is included and k) 1 weight loss course is included. That should all add up to 23, I hope. One thing that I think I should make clear is about the actual personal score keeping having to do with this actual point. What’s really cool is that for each personal user, you have the ability to save the score of each of the 23. Not just one. Maybe that was just common sense to you, but it’s good for clarifying purposes.
8. The dimensions are 79 x 34 x 56 inches.
9. The machine is in the Precor home premium home series. (There are a few more in the series that have almost all of the same functions as this one for a discounted price, they may be something that you may want to look into)
10. The shock absorption is the Ground effects impact control.
11. The power is a 120v plug-in. This is truly just a fancy way of saying that it fits into your normal house outlet if you live in America. If you live elsewhere you probably have to get an adapter for this one. Also another cost comes up here that I didn’t get the chance of talking about before. If you are actually using this enough to makes it’s worth real, then you are going to have to consider the energy costs that actually occur because you are using this. It’s a small deterrent for most who really want to get this, but I think that for some it may be the deciding factor. Last time I'm really going to pound it hard, just because although it's a great treadmill, all these expenses can be so annoying if you are not aware of them.

Here are a few youtube videos that you might find helpful:

I actually really liked this video as this one, while not a professional video, actually shows you how the console looks up close and goes through a good number of the main basic functions. She goes through and explains a few buttons, so that’s pretty helpful. A few step by step instructions. I seem to have gotten a headache when she tried to show stuff while walking, but it should not truly be that much of a bother.


This is a professional ad of a Precor 9.35 treadmill. It shows on the screen a few of the main features that I discussed earlier. It’s pretty cool to watch.

What it talks about at the end is the assembly which I actually never went through, but is pretty important to know. It’s quite a task to assemble, so you are going to need some time if you want it to be done for free. Preferably you want several people to be working on this at once, as the video states, it should only take a few hours. I personally would rather have a professional assembly so that there is no problems with it once it is put together, requiring me to back track again. The negative about that is that it actually costs money to hire someone to put it together, so you would need to plan ahead for that and keep that in your cost calculations.


I’ll just put this one here again for quick reference.

Where you can get it: Several sites sell it for about the exact same price of $4999.00. I would just suggest Amazon out of them
Amazon Website
Seeing as I wasn’t able to find anything cheaper than $4999.00, if you do see some for less for the Precor 9.35 please feel free to post the link below so I can add it. I have searched at least 3-4 vendors selling this.


I hope you enjoyed reading this thoroughly long wishlist thread. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask them, I might not know all the answers, but chances are that I have a good enough knowledge to answer any that you might seriously have.

Happy exercising!
