Our Rating
Rating: 83.3/100. The TRM 445 is the top treadmill in Precor’s Precision Series, a home treadmill collection with true commercial quality. Precision Series treadmills are built to the same high standards as Precor’s treadmills for fitness clubs — but for home environments they’re sold with long 10-year parts warranties. One highlight of the Precor TRM 445 is its extra-wide track with automated ramp. The ramp has an uphill/downhill range of -2% to +15%, offering you great opportunity for extra-speedy calorie burn and muscle toning. Another highlight is this treadmill’s overall tech integration for training support and entertainment: For training support it has 23 preset workout programs, can support up to four user profiles, and lets each user save new programs.
There’s wireless tracking too; the TRM 445 can send your heart rate, calorie burn, distance covered and other session data to a wireless fitness app and provide weekly summaries of your progress. For extra motivation from entertainment, Precor includes a secure holder for your tablet computer plus console controls for your iPod or smartphone.
