Before choosing between Horizon Fitness’s treadmills, bikes, or ellipticals, first talk with your doctor about which form of exercise will work best for you. After that, research the product that fits closely with your needs, and find the stores with the best prices. Once you are able to test-drive your pick in a store or gym, you can then make your final decision.
Horizon Elite treadmills include the 1.1T, 2.1T, 3.1T, 4.1T, and 5.1T models. Each one is equipped with the safety feature FeatherLIGHT Lift System-dual hydraulic shocks that allow for the treadmills to fold easily for storage, as well as a Comfort Zone running deck, and a variable cushion and Zero Friction Lubrication System. Depending on your needs, one of the 5 models is sure to be right for you. If you are looking for a basic model, then the 1.1T is for you. The others increase successively in their features, with the top-of-the-line model being the 5.1T. Keep in mind, however, that each of the Horizon Elite treadmills are just as effective as the next, and they can all provide you with a high level of comfort and exercise. Their reasonable warranties confidently reveal the true quality and strength of which they are made. With a lifetime for the frame, 25 years for the motor, 2 years on parts, and 1 year on labor, you will get the most for your money, living up to Horizon’s motto-"Designed for life."
Horizon Elite treadmills range in price from $800-$2,000, but that all depends on where you shop. Horizon Fitness’s website provides detailed information on all the treadmill models, as well as the option to request a catalogue to purchase directly from them, or to receive customer service. Several online retailers, eBay, fitness stores, and fitness resale shops will also carry the treadmills at lower costs. When you finally do choose the right model for you, you will not be disappointed with what you get!
Understanding Fitness Reviews and Ratings
If you are looking to find the best fitness equipment, consumer reviews and ratings are helpful to read. Online retailers offer product descriptions with their listings, usually arranging them by ratings for viewing-least to most expensive (or vice versa), alphabetical, most popular, featured, or on sale. Other times, ratings are determined by the number of stars, thumbs up, or smiley faces, based on a scale of 1 to 4 or 5, where a 4 or 5 means a product is highly recommended. When a product is popular, it tends to be reviewed at least once, explaining the reasoning behind why someone rated a product a particular score. In finding the most information you can about fitness products you are seeking to purchase, including Horizon treadmills, ratings are a good way to obtain honest opinions.
Since Horizon Fitness is a reputable brand known for quality products, Horizon treadmills ratings are generally higher than most, receiving praise for their affordable prices and craftsmanship. Other competitors with equal ratings are ProForm, Landice, Smooth, and Image.
An occasional lower rating by one dissatisfied consumer is not uncommon. Ratings, after all, are an average of individual opinions-the more reviews or ratings submitted, the more accurate an overall rating will be. Read all reviews from various sources, if possible, to get the most possible information. You might want to even talk with sales staff at local fitness shops to find out their opinions, or hear their observations on consumer trends and tastes. It certainly pays to be particular, especially when it comes to spending money on an investment for your health. After all, you DO want the best for your body, but only if it ensures your own peace of mind.
