The T74 is easily storable, thanks to Horizon's exclusive Featherlight lift, which incorporates two hydraulic shocks to assist you when raising and lowering the deck. They even hold the deck in place above 45 degrees, eliminating drops. The ultra-compact, fold-on-nose design is the safest, easiest in its class.

The Horizon Quietdrive system use an integrated digital drive for fast, accurate control. Its continuous duty motor--the same type found in health club units--also incorporates large magnets to keep the RPM low, which translates to a quieter motor that will run longer and generate more power than other treadmill motors.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy on the knees, August 5, 2007

This review is from: Horizon Fitness T74 Treadmill (Sports)

I work out at some of the local gyms, and recently got into jogging. I noticed that some of the treadmills really beat up my forty-five-year-old knees, while others were much easier on them. I checked out some treadmill models at different fitness stores, and found them to be nice and cushy, but the ones I liked were over $2,000.00. I would have loved to have given them my business, but I could not afford it.
After doing a lot of research, mostly online, I decided to take a chance on the Horizon T74 Treadmill.
So far, after a couple of months, it has not disappointed me. I am not one to care about controls and fancy computer programs, I just need comfort and some ability to control the speed, along with an incline feature, which it possesses.
Yes, this treadmill is as good as any I have run on in the different fitness centers, and was one heck of a lot cheaper than those in the fitness equipment stores. It has all of the features I need, especially the "fold-away" feature which allows you to lift the ramp vertical and roll the whole thing into a corner, where it does not take up much space.
Great product. Hopefully, it has good long-term durability, it seems very sturdy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Horizon treadmill, May 12, 2007

The machine was finally received after refusing the first due to damage. The second also had the shipping carton absolutely destroyed but after inspection by the delivery man and us we determined that everything was present and undamaged. We had a little trouble assembling due to some of the bolts or sockets having either paint on them or threads not cut cleanly. After assembly the machine operated up to our expections. The one thing that was noted was the quietness when in operation. It is also compact in size compared to our old one, an advantage for us.

I bought this in April. Easy to put together, did it myself. We did have a problem with the machine. Called Horizon and they had a repair person out in a few days. Something went wrong with the control panel. I saw where someone complained about their customer service, but I thought they were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful on the phone. No long wait to talk to anyone. I widh I could remeber the lady that I talked to. She deserves a thank you. After the repair it has worked great. My wife uses it every day. It has lots of options and is quiet. If wasn't for the problem with the control panel, I would have given this a 5 star.
