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.

Horizon CST 4.5 Treadmill,
This review is from: Horizon CST4.5 Treadmill (Sports)
I love the treadmill, it has fantastic programs and the track is comfortable to run on. It was also easy to use, I haven't even looked at the manual. I had someone set it up for me and they said it was really easy to put up as well. Over all it is a great product. If it helps make your decision to buy this or not, we looked it up on consumer reports and it was well liked.
My only complaint is not about the product, but about how it was shipped through Eagle. They dropped it off in my garage and didn't bring it into the house. Lucky for me my boyfriend can dead lift 250 pounds and he carried it down the steps for me. So if you buy this on line call Eagle or the shipper to make sure they have enough guys to bring it into your workout room, or just be able to lift it yourself. Plus, the packaging was falling apart, and one of the bands snapped and the "legs" popped open.

May be a good product if it works,
This review is from: Horizon CST4.5 Treadmill (Sports)
We bought this treadmill a month ago based on the good review in CR. When it arrived the shipper would not bring it past the threshold. I had to wait a week until I could get a friend to help me bring it down to the basement. Then all the problems started. The unit is not well designed for do-it-yourself set up. First, the package was a bit beat up when it arrived. Then the strap came off during the unpackaging, and this is a real nuisance, since you can't go forward with the assembly until you get the spring under control. Then after about an hour of horsing around to assemble it, I realized that one of the bars that attaches to the side-arm did not line up. It took three weeks and several calls before someone come by to install the replacement part. The guys took the treadmill apart and after ~2 hours concluded that it was not fixable. Now we have to try to arrange for a replacement. What a waste of our time--and this is with a $900 item. The treadmill may in fact be a good product, but Horizon needs to fix their quality control, especially for something in this price range.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Horizon CST4.5 Treadmill (Sports)
I bought this treadmill for home use, especially for winter evenings when it gets too cold to go outside. After 2 months of use, I can confidently state that I am very happy with this product. I don't know how good it is for speed running, but it is great for someone like me who wants to run at 6-8 MPH, 3-5% incline, for 30-60 minutes every other day.
Initially, there were some glitches to overcome, though I guess they would have occurred regardless of brand or model - a treadmill is a beast to carry! When it first arrived, since the delivery team would not take it to the basement, I had to let the CST4.5 lie in the garage for a week or so. Then I got a friend to help me carry it in. We took it inside in sections to make sure neither of us died carrying the thing. While installing, the screws would not fit into the left support column. Worse, the motor did not work. The service folks at Horizon were very helpful though they insisted I do some initial diagnoses and try to make the thing work. Since the service desk only works the day shift, I had to take off from work to speak to them - this is a definite strike against Horizon. Anyway, as per their instructions, I had to take the bottom and top covers off the motor. This required me to get at some hard-to-reach screws using an L-wrench and thumb-sized screwdrivers. After a couple of hours, I had the motor exposed and was able to run the tests that the online service person instructed me to conduct. As I guessed, the control board had failed. This is strike two against Horizon - poor quality check on shipped items. A week later, a replacement control board was mailed along with a new left column. I also requested a service person to come install the whole thing and reassemble the motor housing. About 14 days later, a gentleman came over who installed the new control board and forced the retaining screws into the left column. I have a feeling he stripped the screws, which I can verify only when I have to disassemble the thing if and when I move houses. Hopefully this will not happen soon! Since then I have been using the treadmill with no problem. Everything works fine. Watch out for the program setitngs though; anything other than P1 will cause speed and incline to shift every 90 seconds which is too short an interval for me. It takes a while to figure out how to set duration and a custom program. However, I think this is quite normal for anything we buy these days. It is certainly not as difficult as trying to program a DVD recorder. On the whole, I think the CST 4.5 is a good value purchase. I was pleasantly surpised when Amazon informed me that the price had dropped by $ 100 and credited me that amount. If the model is still available, I would recommend its purchase to anyone looking for a good treadmill. FYI, Consumer Reports rated it pretty highly too. Good luck!
