Get a great workout in your home with the quiet and smooth continuous-duty, commercial grade Horizon WT950 treadmill, which can reach speeds up to 12 miles per hour. Perfect for rigorous training routines, the WT950 has a 2.25 horsepower incline motor that delivers full power at 3150 RPM and 500 pounds of direct thrust from a 0 to 12-percent grade. It also features a unique wireless pedometer that allows you to easily count all your daily steps, then translate them to the treadmill for tracking your fitness progress. Once plugged into the treadmill, your steps for the day will upload and the treadmill console will display how many steps you have left to complete your daily goal.
It stores easily, 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 safe and easy to maneuver as well.
The multi-ply AirCell belt provides excellent cushioning and durability, and it's divided into three distinct zones:
- Impact zone: thicker, softer cushioning to take stress off your legs and joints
- Transition zone: moderate cushioning for comfort as you move through the stride
- Push-off zone: thinner, denser cushioning for a more solid surface to launch into your next stride
The Horizon Quietdrive system uses an integrated digital drive for fast and 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.
The Smartboard digital console offers seven simple preset programs, including 1K, 2K, 5K and 10K step, and features easy-to-access controls. It offers one-touch speed and incline keys for easy operation. The large, blue backlit screen displays the most important data in one central location for optimal reading. The WT950 also provides heart rate contacts in the grips.

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.
