Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review

How long will the Horizon 7.0 AT last?

The Horizon 7.0 AT treadmill is offered with a lifetime frame and motor warranty, 3 years on parts, and 1 year on labor which is not too shabby. It weighs a decent 253 lbs. and can hold users up to 325 lbs. The 7.0 comes with a one-step hydraulic folding frame to keep space usage at a minimum. Moderate users should get many years and miles from this treadmill with proper care and maintenance, and it is good to note that Horizon offers this treadmill with free shipping. Careful use should be taken when accessing power sources due to the non-compatibility with GFCI outlets (almost all treadmills are incompatible) which are common in most homes. A little research will go a long way in keeping electronic machines in tiptop condition.

Brief Overview

The Horizon 7.0 AT treadmill is a durable model back by a generous warranty from a reputable company. It is designed for longer strides which means taller people can comfortably jog on this machine. At right under a $1000, the Horizon 7.0 offers quality features at a budget price and is designed to specifically work with training apps such as Peloton and Nike, and pairs with training apps like Zwift, Fitbit, and MyFitness pal with Bluetooth capabilities.

Overall Quality

The Horizon 7.0 AT is designed with both heavy walkers and moderate joggers in mind. A 3.0 CHP motor is backed by the Johnson digital drive system that promotes technology that rapidly syncs the motor so lags and delays between incline and speed changes become a thing of the past. The 7.0 also comes with a 20” x 60” running surface which delivers a spacious workout area whether you are speed walking or jogging your way to fitness glory. The deck (while thinner at 0.7” but is common in this price range) is designed with a 3-zone cushioning that helps support each stride made during exercise frenzies. Users can reach speeds up to 12 MPH while achieving intensified workouts with a 15% incline.
A unique feature built into the ergonomically positioned grips, are quick position control dials. One side is for speed and the other side is for incline and together they allow the user the ability to quickly increase and decrease levels of intensity and are exclusive to the Horizon Fitness Studio Series treadmills. It also offers a 7” screen, 7 built in programs, a charging only USB port, speakers, a tablet holder, dual water bottle holders, and a heart rate monitor located in the hand grips.

Conclusion

The Horizon 7.0 AT treadmill is built with both longevity and performance in mind. While the technological selections are not quite optimal, the machine offers a steady performance level for moderate users and is a good choice for those exercise fans of the taller persuasion. While the 325 lb. weight limit holds back a significant number of muscle-bound users, it is on par and comparable to other models in the same price range in comparison to build and capabilities.
