Horizon Fitness T82 Treadmill Review

Excellent Quality
Rita K. Farro (Princeton, Iowa)
My first treadmill was the typical cheapo from a discount store. It quit working. This time, I did some research because I was now willing to spend some money. Horizon won, hands down. And I chose the T-82 because it had a bigger motor. It weighs nearly 200 pounds, so getting it in the house and then putting it together was a challenge. But the directions were concise and each assembly step had it's own hardware bag.

I love it, love it, love it. It is extremely smooth and quiet. It is very substantial -- and the cushioning system makes walking easy on the knees.

The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the programs. They are both too much and too little. For example, during my workout, I am often interrupted by people and phone calls...and even if I leave the key on -- after less than a minute -- all my numbers disappear.

Perfect for what I need

I have waited for atleast alittle over a month before I leave a review. Going on my 5th week now. I looked at many other models but ultimately went for price and reviews. I have been running 5 days a week on this machine. It is very simple to use as you can easily switch from time to distance, by a push of a button. I always vary my run with inclines and have been gradually increasing speed as I train. I do not notice any problems at all, this machine does what it needs to do. I at times use the fan, which has 3 settings I never had to go above 2, works well. I did buy a matt for the bottom, which is recommended. I have it set up in my room, which will be noisier than a gym when on it. I do turn on my tv and honestly am not bothered by it. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and watch the VIDEO that is on the Horizon page with the treadmill and it is exactly what you will get. especially for the price, I got an etxra $100 off, so for $699 I am totally glad. I've been running in Ballys for years and also other gyms and must say this machine for a home only is definately a must have. Just remember to follow care intructions and make sure you always wax under belt to keep it in top shape!!!!!!
