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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Loser (Money, not Pounds), December 16, 2005
This review is from: Horizon Fitness T53 Treadmill (Sports)
I know the other two reviewers enjoy this treadmill, but here is my experience with it...

I bought this treadmill new from Amazon in August and it was non-functional when it was delivered. Horizon scheduled someone (from eight hours away) to come fix it. We had an appointment but he never showed up. His wife called a couple hours later and said he was running late. He never came, and no one ever called back. They also would not return my calls. So back to Horizon.

This time it was another two weeks, but someone showed up and made the repair. The treadmill worked for the 4 times we used it after that, then stopped working again. It's now mid-December and it still hasn't been fixed. Horizon doesn't know why it keeps cutting off, and who knows how long it will take for them to get someone to fix it.

I wish I had just bought this from a local sporting goods store so that I could have returned it the next day. I cannot ship it back to Amazon, as it weighs a ton and there is no box (the delivery people took it away).

I felt reassured when I purchased the treadmill because it had a one year parts and labor warranty. Now I'm feeling like it could take that long just to get the thing going. Very disappointed in the product and service. That was eight hundred dollars totally wasted.

I would definitely not recommend this treadmill, nor would I recommend buying from Amazon as it is so difficult if not impossible to return if there are problems.

Just my opinion.

This review is from: Horizon Fitness T53 Treadmill (Sports)
I have been using this treadmill for about 3 months now. No problems at all and it gets plenty of use between my wife and I. I set a 7" dvd player on the console and watch movies while walking. We have a gym membership but by the time I drive there, change clothes and if we include the drive home, I am practically done with my home workout. I also like to excercize late at night when the gym is closed. I recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars it's not a clothes dryer, July 6, 2005
This review is from: Horizon Fitness T53 Treadmill (Sports)
treadmill only took 15 minutes to get out of the box and ready to use. which means my first hurdle was overcome. next, it's quiet as can be. i can hear my tv perfectly, my husband can watch tv in the next room without turning the volume all the way up and the best part, the baby is able to sleep right through my workouts. the comfort is amazing, lots of cushion to absorb the shock. thank you horizon!
