Storing Workout Statistics

Many clubs connect the EFX to a computer so you can easily retrieve 
your workout statistics and determine how well you are meeting your 
fitness goals. If you are interested in maintaining workout statistic 
information, ask the club personnel to create a user account and a 
user ID for you. A user ID entry is required to store your workout 
statistics. 

Note: 

If the display is blank, you will need to pedal to supply power to 

the unit. If the Precor banner appears once you begin pedaling, the 
EFX is not connected to a computer

. 

Refer to 

Selecting a Program 

or 

Choosing QUICKSTART

.

If the EFX is connected to a computer, the following appears:

CHOOSE QUICKSTART, ENTER, OR A PROGRAM TO BEGIN 

To save the workout statistics generated during your exercise session, 
take the following steps:

1. Press ENTER.

2. Use the number keypad to specify your 5-digit user ID. If you make 

a mistake, use the CLEAR key and reenter the correct number. 

3. When your user ID is shown, press ENTER.

A message appears and indicates when the user ID is accepted 
by the computer. 

4. To begin your exercise session, select a program. Refer to 

Selecting a Program

.

Note: 

To bypass the user ID entry, press ENTER while all five zeros 

appear in the user ID field. The workout statistics generated during 
your exercise session will not be added to your file.
