Amazon.com Product Description

Get a great workout in your home with the quiet and smooth continuous-duty Horizon T101 treadmill, which can reach speeds up to 10 miles per hour. Perfect for rigorous training routines, the T101 has a 2.25 hp (horsepower) incline motor with a 0 to 10-percent grade and speed increments of 0.5 mph. 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. They even hold the deck in place above 45 degrees, eliminating drops. Other features include PerfectFLEX deck cushioning, Sonic Surround speakers with MP3 compatibility, pulse grip heart rate monitoring, and a COOLfit workout fan.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good, January 18, 2010
This review is from: Horizon Fitness T101 Treadmill (Sports)
After researching more than I planned to and more than I would have liked to, I finally came back to where I started at with the Horizon T101. They happen to sell it at a local (& small) sports store where I felt comfortable with the salespeople who actually wanted to help me & with treadmills that were actually able to be used. (At the large chain stores I went to, no sales people were anywhere around and the safety keys were all removed from the treadmills rendering them useless. Hence, I wasn't exactly thrilled with the prospect of giving them my money.)

Anyway, I have read a lot in the past few days about you can't get a quality treadmill for under X amount of money or by buying anything from X brand. Thing is, I definitely don't have $1500-$2000 to spend on a treadmill. I wasn't even comfortable with the idea of spending $1000. I wanted something between $400-$700 MAX. And I didn't want it to shake, I wanted it to have incline, and tell me how far I'd "traveled" and... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for the money but...., March 25, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Horizon Fitness T101 Treadmill (Sports)
After a long research we decided to purchase the Horizon Fitness T101 Treadmill among others. At first I was a little concerned about Horizon customer service reviews however Amazon customer service reviews were good enough for me to purchase the item. I also tested the same item at a local store. The shipping was lightning fast. It was in my living room the 3rd day(Yes the free shipping). The box was very heavy and not strong enough for a heavy item like this. So it looked torn and damaged and loose. I was a little dissappointed to see someone else's shipping label on the other side of the box. Than I thought ok this thing was sold to someone else, returned and probably sold to me again. Not to my surprise one of the carriage legs that help move the treadmill around were terribly bend. So I took it out of the box to see if anything else is broken and it didn't look like it. I am a ASE certified auto mechanic so I am very handy with tools and have a lot of them. I removed the piece... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Value, December 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Horizon Fitness T101 Treadmill (Sports)
I was very pleased with my purchase. I had researched treadmills quite a bit before deciding on the Horizon T101. Most of my research stated that this was a good value for the price point and I would have to agree. The unit is sturdy, smooth and quiet. I weigh 230 lbs and the T101 didn't have any issues. You will need 2 people to move the box. Assembling it was straight forward, 3 basic steps took about an 45 minutes to an hour. Now let see how it does over the long haul. I'll amend my review should any issues arise.
