Precor's State of the Art Equipment - isn't available at Seattle Executive Fitness

The newest models of the cardiovascular exercise machines available from Precor aren't available at Seattle Executive Fitness. The Precor cardio training machines at Seattle Executive Fitness are approximately six or seven years old. The Cybex treadmills at Seattle Executive Fitness are even older.

Current model Precor elliptical trainer machines, such as the state of the art Precor EFX 885, not only include both elliptical stride motion and adjustable ramp angle, they have a modern full sized touchscreen LCD control panel, not the outmoded LED panels on the older 556i and 546i models found at Seattle Executive Fitness. This new design provides many more options than the ones available on the equipment at Seattle Executive fitness, most of which are outdated discontinued models.

The video below shows this newest Precor cardio training equipment in action, and some of the features these newer machines include.



Precor Fitness makes very nice cardiovascular training equipment. However, only two of Precor's last year's model Adaptive Motion Trainer cardio machines are available at the 509 Olive Way, Seattle Executive Fitness facility.

Seattle Executive Fitness Has Just A Dozen Cardio Theater Television Channels, Worse Yet, Some Are Often Blocked

There is nothing "Executive" at all about the selection or quantity of television channels on the Cardio Theater system at Seattle Executive Fitness. To make matters worse, often when flipping through the ten or twelve basic cable channels the chintzy owner provides, the cable/satellite television provider, apparently Dish Network, has blocked a channel because the owner hasn't paid the bill for it. When Seattle Executive Fitness was All Star Fitness, and owned by Bob Padgett, not Merle Gregg, the gym's Cardio Theater system was connected to ComCast cable. Back in the Allstar Fitness days at the Olive Way gym, there were more channels, they had all the broadcast channels, plus a reasonable number of cable channels, and there weren't ever any of the sorts of blocked channel notices that all too often appear on the television screens at Seattle Executive Fitness like the one pictured below does. The less than "Executive" experience gets worse at Seattle Executive Fitness though; all too often the televisions on the cardio equipment just stop working altogther, as though the power isn't on within them or something, and they often stay that way for days or weeks, until dozens or hundreds of people have complained about them.

Watching Snowy Television While Doing Cardio at Seattle "Executive" Fitness

The following analog television snow is what members often see when they try to watch a little television as you work hard to get in a few thousand strides of cardio training at Seattle Executive Fitness. The skimpy owner doesn't exactly provide an Executive number of television channels to watch anyway. There are only about a dozen basic cable television channels provided on the cardio theater televisions at Seattle Executive Fitness. Sometimes the management seems to rotate a few of the channels, but most often, they don't even have all the major broadcast channels available.  This is the lack of quality that Seattle Executive Fitness seems to believe it can pass off as "Executive".
