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.

This is the husband/assembler writing…
Ordered the tredmil on 20 december, and it got here fast enough. Unfortunately the console, the big plastic part above the handles, had some broken pieces on it. (Had it fallen off a forklift?) I assembled the tredmill, and its really only for those who are handy and big/strong. Though they do include all the tools to put it together, you might need to manhandle some of the parts into place. However after about 1 hr the machine was assembled and running.
To get ahold of their customer service you call, leave a message then they call you. It can really be hit and miss. So when I got one of them to email me I used that instead. The issue with the console, they said they’d send another one. What that means is they send you the plastic shell (which was the part that was damaged) and then you transfer everything over to the new one. This sounds ok, until you take it apart and realize that they have little circuit boards scattered all over the unit, with wires running everywhere. No problem, I work on desktops, laptops, servers, and datacenters all day, but this taxed my patience. This console was back ordered after Christmas. It took about 10 days for the part to get shipped because they were waiting for it to come in. Really guys?? You didn’t expect stuff to get broken over Christmas ???
When it arrived and I started transferring parts I noticed that the control strip which handles your input (faster, slower, incline up, etc) was actually a sticker that can’t be transferred. Back to email to ask for the strip, and to also inquire why it wasn’t sent in the first place with the console. Come to find out that this is back ordered as well. At this point it is now close to end of january, and we paid for a working tredmill 30 days ago.
In the end we called Amazon and said we wanted to return it. With the success we’d had so far, we were worried what might happen if something seriously were to go wrong with tredmill. We set up the return with Amazon (that was great!) and disassembled it to be put back in the original packaging for pickup. What can I say about Amazon, they were fabulous, (5 stars for them) they didn’t have it back a week when we saw a refund for the full amount.
Horizon didn’t have its act together, and doesn’t really seem to care. The customer service people I talked to were good and curious, but there wasn’t a sense of planning about them…
So we will be looking elsewhere. If it weren’t for Amazon this would have been a complete disaster. I guess this is what happens when stuff is shipped from China…

This Treadmill is just excellent I did received it about two weeks ago; the machine is quite and very good quality as well the price. Also, Amzon’s custmore service is excellent the first time I got the machine was defective, contacted them and they replaced the treadmill in a timely manner, very quick service!!!. I would recommend this treadmill it’s very good quality, quiet and it has capability for a mp3 which is a plus.

Got this a few weeks ago. I used to run a bit about 15 years ago, but haven’t done much since and surprisingly, I’ve gained weight. I finally decided, after alot of research, a treadmill (particularly this one, based on reviews/affordability) was the way to go. I had major fears that I’d make excuses and avoid working out. But after 3 weeks of gradually intensive 30 minute interval workouts as soon as I get up, I’ve noticed an almost immediate change in the way my clothes fit, as well as increased energy throughout the day. I made the mistake of weighing myself a week after I started, but after ignoring my body for many years, I should have expected to gain some muscle weight, which I did. At this point, I’m very confident that when I weigh myself in a couple of weeks, there will be a noticeable change. Some advice for the lazy: workout immediately in the morning, before you can talk yourself out of it. Morning workouts also keep me feeling great throughout the day. I honestly can’t say if this machine is better than others, but it’s sturdy, easy to construct, and does what you need it to do. I have had no issues whatsoever with it, and I get a great workout. I’ve become a believer, and that is the only reason why I’m taking the time to write a review. Great product.
