Horizon 7.8AT Treadmill Review

How long will the Horizon 7.8AT last?

No doubt about it, the Horizon 7.8AT was built to last through years of robust workouts and even has a hefty weight of 330 lbs. when fully assembled. With a max user weight of 375 lbs., this treadmill is built for heavier folks and is a mighty machine indeed! Of course, it does not hurt that the 7.8AT also carries a respectable lifetime warranty on both the frame and the motor, which eases the mind of anyone looking to invest in this piece of exercise equipment. Also, at the time of purchase, the consumer is offered warranty boosts on both labor and warranty which is a stellar gesture from the manufacturer.
