Precor 954I Experience vs. Precor 956i Experience vs. Life Fitness 95Ti Treadmill
Even though all three models have a 4 HP motor, the maximum user weight capacity in Life Fitness 95Ti is 400 lbs, and in Precor 956i, it is 350 lbs, compared to 500 lbs in the Precor 954I model. The 956Ti has the best speed range of 1 mph to 16 mph, whereas Life Fitness 95Ti provides 0.5 mph to 14 mph. Precor 954I also has the least workout programs of only seven, whereas Life Fitness 95Ti has 28 programs, and Precor 956i has 26 programs. The Life Fitness 95Ti model seems to lack the responsive technology that would provide smoother running experience, which is available in the Precor models.
