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.

Terrific Treadmill,
By J. Thomas (Slippery Rock, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Horizon Fitness T54 Treadmill (Sports)
I bought one of these in February and love it. I had a cheaper one from another brand that did not work that well. This Horizon one is much better. It works equally well at 3 MPH (my other one was jerky at that speed) or 9 MPH. I especially like how smoothly it starts and stops. It has none of the sudden movements of other treadmills.
I am 200 lbs and use it every day, and after 5 months it shows no signs of wear or age. All I have had to do is tighten the belt once.

Horrible purchase,
By
This review is from: Horizon Fitness T54 Treadmill (Sports)
After a week or so of use, treadmill is pretty much dead in the water. Programming is awkward to begin with, but for some reason I can't even get the thing to start up properly now...I'll begin to program in a workout regimen and the damn thing shifts back to the start screen after mashing a couple of buttons. Or, even worse, I'll get the thing programmed and the treadmill simply stops after getting maybe 30 seconds into my routine. Customer service at Horizon is a joke. They've mailed me some part that hopefully will cure this hunk of junk, yet I'm still trying to figure out how (and when) they'll get a technician out here to actually complete warranty repairs. I highly recommend against purchasing this item.

Club Style Treadmill at Great Price.,
This review is from: Horizon Fitness T54 Treadmill (Sports)
I received this treadmill on Jan 06, 2006. I have been using it since day one and I love it.. specially when I got a great deal on this. I paid around $770 when it was on sale on amazon.com.
Pros: 1) Treadmill is very sturdy and feels like one in the club. 2) No Shin splints pain. I used to get it all the time by running on the sidewalk near my community (main reason to buy T54). I used T54 and looks like it does absorb impact and providing a smoother, softer running surface. I did not felt any pain related to shin splints since the day I start using this treadmill. Now, I can run more without any issues. 3) Very easy to use. I like the feature that you can just choose the speed/incline you want to workout directly rather than moving one point a time if you want. 4) Heart rate monitor is pretty useful and accurate. I used Polar A1 with this machine and it works great. Cons: 1) Not sure if it allows to adjust the weight. I was not able find it. Due to this, I guess it does not provides accurate reading about the calories burnt. 2) It is not as quite as few other professional grade treadmills I have used. I called tech support and they indicated that the noise will eventually fade away with use. I hope that is true. Overall, I like the treadmill. I will update the review again after few months if I face any issues with the treadmill. I HOPE NOT!! Good Luck!!
