Horizon treadmills are all about one thing – quality. Quality suspension and deck systems to help protect your body; best-in-class motors that keep going strong for years to come; and meaningful, motivating programming to help you meet your goals. At Horizon, we carefully design each treadmill to give you the comfort, control and convenience you need to succeed. Horizon treadmills use large, heavy frames, making them more solid and stable than competitors’. The Horizon T101 offers a comfortable beginning – durability and value rolled into an attractive design featuring 9 programming options.

Rated by the Treadmill Doctor as one of the “Best Buys” in its category, the Horizon Fitness T101 treadmill combines a powerful, quiet motor and stable, comfortable platform with comprehensive console and Sonic Surround speakers with MP3 input so you play music through the console speakers.

The large, heavy frame is stable during the most intense exercise sessions, and the PerfectFLEX deck cushioning provides the right mix of shock absorption and support. And the COOLfit fitness fan keeps you cool as you walk, jog or run. It’s easily storable, thanks to Horizon’s exclusive FeatherLIGHT lift, which incorporates two hydraulic shocks to assist you when raising and lowering the deck.

The computer console has three orange LED windows, LED brickyard, and target/workout LED indicators. You’ll be able to challenge yourself with nine programming options that include three targets (time, distance, calories) and three workouts (manual, intervals, weight loss).

About Treadmills

Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

Brief Review of Horizon T101-3

B. Boye says:

Great treadmill for the money! The FREE amazon delivery of the treadmill came faster than usual; the shipping company called me to schedule a time for delivery to my house. They sent two guys and they brought it in all the way downstairs to my basement. This “free” service is outstanding. I read other reviews and people suggested you to open the box WHERE you intend to assemble it, so I followed through. I assemble it myself so it took longer than I could if I had an assistant. After lubricating the tread belt with the supplied silicone, I started running on the machine right away. I have been running about 12 miles on it so far (4 sessions of about 30 minutes each) and I cannot find any fault with the machine. It’s quiet, stable and functional. I think the central bar chart LEDs are not as useful to people like me who find the two built-in programs too slow and need to set our own speed manually. Because this machine does not (seem to) allow users to program their own exercise programs, my console LEDs stay unchanged throughout the 30 minutes but that’s not a problem. I think this machine is a good buy! I hope it last long!A few summary notes for people who wishes to get theirs:1. Open the box and assemble it where you intend to install it;2. Have an assistant will speed up the installation process;3. When loosening the tread belt to lube, make sure you remember how many times you turned the Hex Screws on BOTH ends so you can return the machine to factory settings.4. Do NOT tighten screws until you have the whole thing assembled; completely tightening the lower screws on the base during the assembly makes assembling the control console much harder.
