One workout on the premier Precor AMT 783 and you will know you have the ultimate at-home fitness machine.

Precor’s 700 line of AMT elliptical machines and at-home cross-trainers all come with Precor’s patented Fixed Stride technology which gives users the ability to fully adjust the stride length which provides added flexibility in stride paths for a wide-range of workouts. The customizable stride length can be used in a variety of different exercises which include walking, running, and even climbing, which allows the AMT 783 to provide the user with a complete body workout. This means that users get a total body exercise routine that enables them to engage with multiple muscle groups and provides them with a safe, calorie-burning exercise that is also low-impact and easy on the joints.

The three models in the Precor AMT 700 Line can easily be differentiated by the specific type of console that each model comes equipped with. The AMT 783 comes with the P82 Touchscreen Console that provides users with up to 20 different electronic readouts which includes real-time monitoring of key personal vitals like the total strides, max heart rate, and time remaining. If you are in the market for a full body workout with an advanced and fully responsive touch screen console, then the Precor AMT 783 is perfect for your at-home fitness needs.

Precor AMT 783 Review and Specifications:

When you are in the market for a new home fitness exercise machine like a personal elliptical cross trainer, you already know that space and storage of the machine is always going to be an issue. The Precor AMT 700 Line is perfect for in-home use as each model provides a well designed, innovative frame that is both space-saving and mobile so you can move the Precor AMT 783 around your home with relative ease. The Precor AMT 783 measures out at a length of 80”, is 35” wide, and 73” tall, and weighs in at a total weight of 422 lbs.

The Precor AMT 783 is an at-home personal elliptical machine that is made for users of all shapes and sizes in mind as it comes with a suggested manufacturer’s weight capacity of up to 350 lbs. The stride length is adjustable and allows users of a wide range of heights and sizes to use the AMT 783 with comfort and ease. Unlike the AMT 800 Line which comes equipped with Precor’s patented fully adjustable stride height, the AMT 700 Line has a fixed stride height, which means that the AMT 700 series is slightly more limited in its flexibility for users. The AMT 700 Line, as with most at-home elliptical cross-trainers, is not foldable which means that users should look to clear a space in their house that can be dedicated to the machine at all times. The AMT 783 also needs 30” of clearance to get through standard sized doorways and at least 36” in the location that it is to be installed and used.

The power supply that is required for the AMT 783 is a standard 120V/15 A circuit with power cord, and unlike the Precor AMT 835 and the Precor AMT 733 models, the 783 is not self-powered as the P82 Touchscreen Console requires a constant power supply when in use.The Precor AMT 783 is equipped with a set of built in wheels on the bottom, which makes moving the full 422 lbs around the house simpler than you can imagine. The AMT 783 truly is a fully functional fitness club quality machine that is built and designed completely for at-home usage with the safety and convenience of the user in mind.

Precor AMT 783 Monitor

The main difference between the three models in all of Precor’s home elliptical machine lines is the specific monitor and console that each model comes equipped with. The AMT 783 represents the top of the line model in the AMT 700 Line and it comes equipped with the incredible P82 Touchscreen Console that can be used for workout tracking as well as full on entertainment.The P82 Touchscreen Console comes with a total of twelve pre-programmed workouts in as many as seventeen different languages, illustrating just how much the AMT 700 Line is a global leader in personal fitness.

Like the P62 Touchscreen Console, the P82 Touchscreen Console comes with eighteen different and unique electronic readouts which include many of the standard metrics that users track such as resistance level, average heart rate, and the total calories burned. The numeric keypad that is built right into the console is responsive and simple to use even during an intense workout. The AMT 700 Line like all of Precor’s at-home elliptical machines, is fully CSAFE compatible and conveniently placed channel and volume control buttons make being entertained while working out as simple as pushing a button.

The Precor AMT 783 P82 Touchscreen Console comes standard with full entertainment options to help users such as full MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video decoding and Global TV Support including NTSC, ATSC, PAL, and SECAM tuners. The P82 Console also comes with RF and HDMI video inputs, as well as full WiFi connectivity options. The only feature that the P82 Touchscreen Console is missing when compared to the Precor AMT 865 or AMT 885 models, is a Bluetooth connection for other electronic devices. The eye-catching 15” Capacitive Touchscreen is what stands out about the AMT 763 and is the same console that is available on the top of the line Precor AMT 885 model as well.

Precor AMT 783 Stride and Incline

The AMT 700 Line comes with Precor’s patented Adaptive Motion technology which is an integral part of what sets this line of Precor fitness machines apart from other brands of home elliptical trainers or cross-trainers. The AMT 783 model comes equipped with a fully adjustable stride length which measures between 0 to 36” and allows users to customize their stride to the intensity level of their workout.

As mentioned earlier, the stride height on the Precor AMT 700 Line is a fixed height and does not allow the same flexibility that is found in the slightly higher AMT 800 Line which uses Precor’s patented Open Stride Technology. The step-up height for all of the machines in the Precor AMT 700 line measures in at a fixed 6.5” off of the ground which makes stepping on and off the strides, safe and easy for users to undertake.

One of the trademarks of the Precor home fitness machine is the Precor Stride Dial which comes included on every AMT 783 machine. The Precor Stride Dial informs users of which muscle groups are being worked during their workout in real time, depending on the type of exercise they are doing. The stride and step motions on the Precor AMT 783 can be ramped up in intensity from a simple walking exercise into a high intensity stepping exercise that simulates inclined terrain like stairs or hills.

Precor AMT 783 Handlebar and Pedals

The Precor AMT 783 comes with three unique and innovatively designed handlebar locations which provide solid support and stability while exercising on the machine. The standard and naturally placed set of handlebars run parallel to the ground so that users can safely engage in less impactful workouts. A second set of smooth, full motion vertical handlebars can be used with the strides in a classic elliptical motion that gives users a full workout for their arms and legs. The third and final set of handlebars is placed directly in front of the P82 Touchscreen Console, and is where users can find the built-in polar contact heart rate sensor. These polar contact heart rate sensors provide users with heart rate zones and specific metrics such as the total calories burned in real time while they exercise and can be used in conjunction with the heart rate telemetry reading chest strap equipment that comes standard with the Precor AMT 783 machine.

The Precor AMT 783 handlebars are constructed with a sturdy and heavy duty plastic that makes it comfortable for users to grip, even if they have sweaty hands during intense exercise sessions. All three sets of handlebars on the Precor AMT 783 are ergonomically positioned to help users feel safe and in control while they engage in their various workouts. The handlebars feel natural in their position and add yet another layer of safety and stability for the users while they exercise.

The Precor AMT 783 pedals are made of a hard, sturdy plastic and allow the user to remain fully in control of their motions during their workouts. To ensure that your feet do not slip off of the pedals while in the middle of a workout, the Precor AMT 783 pedals are equipped with soft toe caps that you can place your shoes into as you exercise. The foot pedals on the Precor AMT 783 measure in at 14” x 8” with a 2” minimum space between the pedals.

Precor AMT 783 Accessories and Assembly

The Precor AMT 783, like most of Precor’s home exercise machines, comes with an impressive amount of accessories that are standard additions including a water bottle holder to help users stay hydrated while exercising, as well as a sturdy reading rack which can hold either books or personal devices like mobile phones or tablets. The optional PVS or personal viewing screen is not necessary to add on to the AMT 783 model as it comes equipped with the beautiful P82 Touchscreen Console.

The reading rack is centrally located, being constructed right into the Precor AMT 783 console, and is extremely useful for holding books or other personal electronic devices while the user is working out. The Precor AMT 783 also comes fully equipped with a built-in mobile device charging ports and is also equipped with full WiFi connectivity in case users wish to connect their personal devices.

As with nearly all at-home fitness machines, the Precor AMT 783 will require some assembly although most of this can be accomplished with a couple of screwdrivers, some sockets, and a torque wrench. Before assembling the AMT 783 in its final destination, it is easy to wheel the machine around your house with its built in wheels that make moving the entire 422 lb machine a near effortless task. After placing the Precor AMT 783 on a nice level surface, users can begin to assemble the parts one by one. While one person can technically build the AMT 783, it is definitely a much easier task to undertake with a second person, especially when moving the AMT 783 around the house. Precor does offer helpful step by step assembly in its user manual, and users can also find videos of the assembly online.

AMT 783 Warranty, Price, and Shipping

Precor provides users with the same manufacturer’s warranty for the AMT 700 Line as it does for the AMT 800 Line which is an example of just how much the company believes in the quality of its equipment. For the Precor AMT 700 Line, Precor offers a lifetime warranty on the frame and welds, a 10-year warranty for parts and wear items, a nice 3-year warrant for the console, as well as a 1-year warranty for labor. These warranties are based on in-home use and not for Precor machines that are in commercial settings like gyms or fitness centers.

Precor is a company that is easy to communicate with as well if you do find you have some questions about its product or services. The Washington State-based company offers its customers several toll free numbers to contact customer service with, as well as an email system that allows users to send them any questions, comments, or concerns they may have. Precor is also easy to find on social media with a presence on such platforms as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

Users should note that the Precor AMT 700 Line of fitness machines comes delivered inside of a shipping container to their front door. The main frame is the foundation of the Precor AMT 783 and it should be removed carefully and slowly wheeled around your house, while all of the other various parts can be installed on the AMT 783 frame, once a final destination for the machine has been chosen. Precor is one of the premier brands in the at-home fitness machine market and when you want a top of the line model like the Precor AMT 783, you are going to pay a premium price for it. The Precor AMT 783 carries a price tag of $10,995.00. The Precor AMT 700 Line will run an additional $25 fee for delivery as well as $349 installation fee if you so choose for that service.
