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.

GREAT Treadmill - Easy Setup. Takes a pounding.
I've now had this treadmill for two years and put it thru all the paces and over 2,000 miles at speeds from 12MPH (full sprint) to 4MPH (walking) and all the inclines as well. I walk about 2-3 miles a week and run about 20 miles a week on it, at around 8MPH and I weigh 170. I use mostly the 'manual' process where I change incline/speed on the run...but also set up two custom workouts. I've only had to reset the mat twice (it eventually will slide to the side and start catching a bit) and also have only lubricated / cleaned once, though it's due for another. That process was also relatively easy, but you need to dedicate a 1/2 hour. I can't see spending >$1,000 on a treadmill!

OK for the money, but not ideal for heavy use.
We've had this treadmill for exactly 1 year and it gets regular use. It had been fine up to this point, but we had to have the belt and frame replaced last week - thank goodness for the warranty. The technician that repaired it said that this model has a very weak frame and cracks are common. Ours had cracked all the way from end to end! I suspect that part of the problem is my husband's heavy running because I had never had any problems with it and I normally just walk or jog lightly. The belt also slips and rubs the sides sometimes. It's a decent value for the money and great for walking or light jogging, but if you intend to use it for heavy running, invest in the more sturdy gym-quality ones.

Very Good Idea!
For years, my husband told me we couldn't own a treadmill because they are too expensive, tear up too easily, cost a lot to repair and we would never use it anyway. I persisted for 17 years and finally for our 17th anniversary, he told me I could get one! I researched treadmills on Consumer Reports website and found this one to be a best buy. We went to several stores and looked for one but the prices were all over the place. I searched online and found it on Amazon at one low price, no tax and no shipping. It was way less than anywhere else. In a week, I received a call from the shipper and a time was set for delivery. They were great and came on time, brought in into my home and I actually assembled it all by myself! It has worked perfectly. It's easy to use, it's quiet. I have used it at least 5 times a week since August and I have never felt better! I highly recommend this purchase!

GREAT TREADMILL
THIS A GREAT TREADMILL. IT'S FAIRLY EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND IS EXTREMELY QUIET. THE BEST DEAL I COULD FIND FOR UNDER $800.

Great Treadmill
This is a great treadmill for home use. I use it 5+ times per week, mostly walking and some light jogging. It's pretty quiet and allows me to watch TV while using the treadmill without turning the volume up too high. I've had it about 3 months now, and used it nearly daily without problems. I don't think it's a gym-caliber treadmill that would withstand constant use and abuse, but it's great for home use. Also, when the treadmill arrived, one of the plastic caps at the end of the belt was broken. We contacted Horizon, and had replacement parts within 5 days, so the company seems to stand behind their products.
