It seems Horizon Fitness has finally released updated versions of their treadmills and elliptical trainers. I’ll be making a concerted effort to test out and review their new fitness equipment in the coming weeks. For now I leave you with a review of the Horizon T101 Treadmill. This is pretty much just a rehash of the Horizon T91 Treadmill and the Horizon T91 Treadmill is just a rehash of the Horizon T81 Treadmill. I’m sure you get the point by now, let’s get into the review.

The Horizon T101 Treadmill has a very wide running area considering price. The running area is 20″ x 55″ which makes this one of the largest running areas for less than 600 bucks available. If you or a larger person and want to do some walking or light jogging the Horizon T101 Treadmill is a great treadmill to consider. The Horizon T101 Treadmill is also equipped with a 2.25 hp motor which is more power than the average treadmill that retails for $599 or less. Greater horsepower means your treadmill can support heavier, larger people without having to work as hard. If you’re motor is not working too hard it is going to last much longer. Horizon Fitness lists the maximum user weight at 275 pounds, which once again is above average for this price range.

I always like it when a treadmill or elliptical console has dedicated buttons for speed, incline, and resistance. The Horizon T101 Treadmill has a button for each speed and incline level they can reach which means it is very easy to go from the top speed of 10 mph so much lower speed of say two or 3 mph. You will not have to hold down a button to slow down when you’re going top speed on your treadmill. Just press one button and get back to concentrating on your stride.

One thing a lot of treadmill manufacturers seem to neglect when they design some of the lower end treadmills is programs. Most treadmills that retail for less than 600 bucks come with an anemic list of programs that are pathetic at best. The Horizon T101 Treadmill comes with nine different fitness programs which is slightly above the average for this price range about a programs. It just goes to show you that Horizon Fitness really tries to go the extra mile for their customers and deliver the most they possibly can for as little money as possible.

Finally, Horizon Fitness did not skimp on the warranty for the Horizon T101 Treadmill. You get a full one year parts and labor warranty which is a lot more coverage than you get with other brands like Proform and NordicTrack. If you’re looking to do some light jogging and walking and the Horizon T101 Treadmill is one of the best options out there. It is relatively cheap at $600 delivered to your home and has an excellent assortment of features, and comes out of one of the best treadmill factories in the world. I’ve trusted Horizon Fitness for many years now and use more products than I could possibly remember and nearly every experience I’ve had with a Horizon Fitness treadmill or elliptical trainer has been positive. I strongly recommend the Horizon T101 Treadmill!
