The Precor S3.21 Home Gym – Reach Your Strength-Training Goals

The first thing you notice about the Precor S3.21 Home Gym is that it doesn’t look like any other multi-purpose fitness system you might find in the home workout room. It looks like it belongs in a health club. No fuss or funky design; just an attractive light-commercial model for the home.

The Buzz

You’ve no doubt seen Precor treadmills and ellipticals at your health club. Experts and trainers also praise the company’s high-quality resistance training equipment for workmanship, durability, and functionality. It is ergonomically designed so that you will lift/press with Good Form utilizing a full Range of Motion. The proper lifting form is essential for reducing chances of injury and for obtaining the maximum benefit from the workout session.

In addition, the Precor S3.21 is one of the smoothest home gym machines you’ll find, as the guide rods are equipped with sound-absorbing rubber ends so there’s no annoying clank of metal on metal. Home gym reviews written by users remark that the Precor S3.21 is a pleasure to use. It takes up quite a bit of space with the leg press station but that would be the only drawback. Tall men may find that the leg press feels a bit cramped anyway. (It is a bit small.) Many home gyms don’t offer a Leg Press Station even as an attachment, so it shouldn’t be a major consideration in your purchase decision.

Our Take

The outstanding design of the Precor S3.21 allows you to have a club quality workout in the comfort of your own home. It is one of the more comfortable, most versatile home gyms you’ll find on the market, and one you won’t be ashamed to show off to your guests. It has an MSRP of $3,595, but it can be found on sale online for as low as $1,999. At that price, the Precor S3.21 Home Gym rates a Good Buy.
