Horizon EX-59 Elliptical Review

How long will the Horizon EX-59 last?

Built to last, the Horizon EX-59 weighs an assembled 145 lbs. and holds users up to a 300 lb. maximum. It is tailored for light to somewhat moderate use and will last for at least a handful of years if taken care of properly. Johnson covers the EX-59 with a lifetime warranty on the frame and 1 year for the brake, parts, and labor making it more than obvious that all issues occur within a year of purchase. Purchase through alternate online retailers offers a boost on parts and labor warranty at checkout.

Brief Overview

The Horizon EX-59 is our 2022 2nd place Best Buy Winner for the $400 to $699 range and has been on our radar for years due to the overall quality of a fitness machine offered at such a continuously low price. It has commendable features and a connection to the world through Bluetooth capabilities that makes the EX-59 more competitive than many other models who lack the same technical features. Honestly supplying a personal streaming device is convenient for most as the more detailed the console, the higher chance of it breaking down and holding up the overall use of the machine.

Overall Quality

The Horizon EX-59 offers an 18” stride that is appealing to a large consumer base on the shorter end of the height spectrum and is a quality machine for users of many fitness levels. There are 10 levels of resistance to heighten workout intensity and an advanced pulley system working with a 14 lb. flywheel to provide a continuous performing motion throughout workout sessions. A simple, easy to use console shows 7 points of performance data including heartrate information gathered from the monitors in the stationary handlebars. The console contains quick access buttons for changing resistance and accessing the 5 built in programs tailored to build cardio and tone muscles. Finally, the EX-59 is Bluetooth enabled allowing users to stream media and listen to favorite playlists during exercise fun.
