Product Description

Enjoy a vigorous workout in the comfort of your own home with the Horizon Fitness T91 treadmill. The T91 is built around a durable 2.0-horsepower continuous-duty motor, similar to the type found in premium health clubs. The result is a smooth and powerful performance at all speeds, with the ability to run quieter and longer while generating plenty of power for a long workout. The T91 is no slouch from a feature perspective, either, with nine workout programs to help you focus on your goals, including manual, intervals, and rolling hills. Add in a speed range of 0.5 to 10 miles per hour, an elevation range of 0 to 10 percent, and AeroSoft air cell cushioning and you have a robust, comfortable treadmill that excels in any environment.

The Horizon control console, meanwhile, emphasizes simplicity, with logical control locations and convenient orange backlit LCD screens that offer key feedback on your workout. The T91 is also easy to store thanks to Horizon's exclusive FeatherLight lift system, which incorporates two hydraulic shocks to assist you when raising and lowering the deck. Other details include contact heart rate grips, a 20-by-50-inch running area, and a 275-pound weight capacity.

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.

Many treadmills 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 features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting cardiovascular benefits without requiring a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.

Summary: Good for the Money
Comment:
I had to build this thing out of the box... which wasn't too hard but kind of a pain in the butt. Works great and haven't had any problems so far. It started squeaking after the first few weeks of use but I'm sure one we tighten all of the screws it will be fine again. So far so good though, especially at such a great price!

Summary: Great value!
Comment:
I have owned this treadmill since February 2009. I use it nearly every day and my husband uses it every other day. For the price it has a lot of great features, including automatic incline and hydraulic lifting mechanism to help you fold the track back up. The two drawbacks are that it was an absolute beast to put together and that it makes quite a lot of noise when you're running on it. If you're looking for an easy to use treadmill that doesn't take up a ton of space, though, this one is great for the price.

Summary: NEVER BUY A HORIZON - DESIGNED TO FAIL
Comment:
Please, I beg you, don't ever buy a horizon treadmill. We had one for little over a year. We paid about what this one is going for, but we had more trouble than it was worth. And once you put it together - you can NEVER take it apart. You can't move it. You can't take it into a normal-sized door. And once you disassemble it, it's over. You can't use it again. It's worthless.

I can't stress this enough - DON'T BUY A HORIZON!!! Spend an extra couple of hundred dollars more and buy a nicer brand. This treadmill isn't worth what you pay for it. Please don't do it. You will regret it in the end. For the sake of your sanity and your pocketbook. Don't do it.

Summary: Great Treadmill for Runners
Comment:
I have been using this treadmill for three months now and I am very satisfied with its performance. I run about 5 miles a day and needed a treadmill that I could run on, for those rainy days when I just couldn't get outside. I usually run at about 5.5 mph and this machine handles it without a problem. Also, I bounce up and down alot when I run and the cushioning system on the T91 keeps my run quiet and stable. This is a great machine that is very quiet, stable and has the power to actually let you run on it, without making you feel like the machine is about to fall apart. Also, the easylift system is great, allowing you to raise and lower the machine with one, or even no hands.

I recommend this machine to anyone looking for a durable, quiet, sturdy and powerful treadmill. Actually, the only thing it doesn't do is fold-away. The controls are very simple and changing your routine mid stride is nearly effortless. Also, it keeps a calorie, mileage, pulse and time count while you run, making workout tracking very easy. All in all, a wonderful treadmill for runners and people who bounce alot when they run, especially for such a low price.

Summary: Exceeds my expectations
Comment:
I recently purchased the Fitness T91 and is so far happy with the product.

Packaging:
It was safely delivered and free of charge in a single very large box.
It is better to move the box to the desired location of your treadmill, before you start assembling it.
This thing weights about 175 pounds!

Assembly:
It took me a little over an hour from the time I took everything out of the box to my first run.
Instructions are pretty straight forward and well written (only 4 steps).
I had a minor issue with the top console connector cable: It is held with a wire so you
can easily pull it out from the Mast which is pretty narrow. The wire was loose when I tried to pull it and I ended going "fishing" for that connector cable from inside the mast (that took me 10 minutes!).

Operation:
There again it is pretty simple to use. I like the fact it is really quiet as I can exercise while the kids are sleeping.
There are 9 different programs, heart monitoring is done by placing both hands on the front holding bar.
It does come with a fan placed in front of the console. All the commands are easily accessed.

The treadmill folds up easily as well.
