Precor has revealed the details of its new Experience Series range of CV equipment, which it will begin distributing this spring.

The new series - combining cardio units with a new choice of consoles - was officially launched at IHRSA last week, with its European debut taking place in April, at FIBO 2011.

The new product line consists of three consoles - the P80, P30 and P20 - and promises to offer Precor customers a broader choice, and users a significantly enhanced workout experience.

The flagship P80 is the most radical advancement from Precor's existing console offerings, featuring a robust touch screen similar to those used for bank ATMs and airport check-in terminals.

The capacitive screen allows users to perform 'gesture motions', such as sweeping across different screens in the same way that users can control leading phone and entertainment devices.

Among a host of features, the P80 console promotes new workout programmes to users when they first engage with the equipment. Research conducted after early installations suggests that this will be particularly beneficial, with 40 per cent of users surveyed already trying a new workout as a direct result of the feature.

Each P80 console also features an Ethernet connection, enabling users to benefit from the current and future possibilities of a networked fitness experience.
