            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.

I purchased a Horizon T-202 treadmill in December 2020 and it arrived in early January 2021.On April 2, the rear roller failed and had to be replaced. The part was shipped to me, but the service technician was not able to come to my home until June 10.On Tuesday, July 6, the treadmill would not start. The control panel displays properly and counts down, but the belt and incline motor do not operate. The service technician called me on July 8 and ordered the repair parts, BUT his next available appointment is September 11.Within the first six months of ownership, I have had two failures that make the treadmill completely useless. I am experiencing a less than 50 percent availability of the treadmill.Needless to say, I am very dissatisfied with the product and repair times. Tell me how this is anything close to acceptable!

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2011
UPDATE: Aug 15, 2013: Well, after spending $800 and only using for 2 years...problems have occurred. Mainly, the display no longer shows the correct items...for example, when turning it on, it automatically shows 0.8 mph from the start, and everything looks crazy after that. It appears to run at the correct speed, but since the display is no longer correct, it is difficult to tell. Tried to recalibrate, but no use. The warranty is up and it weighs a ton, and would have to be taken apart or have a repairman come to the house...given what that would cost, we have purchased another treadmill: Livestrong® LS8.0T Treadmill (also on Amazon). I spent this much $$ in hopes that I would be using the treadmill for at least 10 years, but not with this one.
Original (Feb 2011): I did a lot of research both online and in person before making this purchase. I used Consumer Reports as a source. I also went to several sporting goods stores, etc. and actually tried some out --- I found this to be the most valuable information -- first-hand. I was unable to try this actual model, but the T101 was available and I actually liked it even better than many of the more expensive models, so I was confident the T202 would be what I was looking for. The size is great -- not too big but big enough, has the right amount of horsepower. The speakers are not great, but I use a stereo or headphones with MP3 player, so not a big deal for me. My husband had no problems putting it together -- TIPS: make sure to have it in the actual room in which it will be used before putting it together -- it will probably not fit through the door afterwards. Also, make sure to read the troubleshooting tips -- I have found the negative reviews about being "shocked" to be from improper assembly. For the price, a very good mid-range treadmill. So far, I am very pleased. Finally, I chose this brand/model due to its cushioned deck -- it was so much more comfortable that the higher-priced brands/models! I would never have known this if I had not tried them out in person -- makes all the difference!

I have enjoyed this treadmill. The features for the price were just right for me. I enjoy the iPod feature and the speaker quality is in line with my expectations for the price. Set up was easy, but do not attempt alone if you do not have a dolly or need to go up stairs. Delivery company would have delivered to my setup point, but I chose to leave in the garage until I was ready on my own.

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2011
My wife and I so wanted to like this treadmill. We researched quite a long time before taking the expensive plunge in buying this model.

We were encouraged by the mostly positive reviews on Amazon and other sites for this model in particular and the model just under it.

We felt confident in buying from Amazon especially with their return policy.

The unit shipped via a local company quickly, and was arranged to fit our schedule.

Assembly did require 2 people and probably only took us 30 minutes to put it together.

This is where the first issues arose. The bolt threads on the frame arms on the left side were not machined properly so we could only secure the headboard/control panel with 1 bolt on that side and not the 2 or so it should have been.

There was also some shipping damage to the rear of the unit and a plastic cap that protects the right side belt adjustment was broken.

We contacted Horizon Fitness and they were quick to order a replacement plastic cap.

The instructions for operations on the treadmill stated the belt was positioned/centered correctly at the factory but that you had to loosen it up to squirt silicon lube under the belt.

The adjustments to loosen the belt did not work as intuitively as you would think and after playing with it for 20 minutes or so I was able to lube the belt.

We then came to issue 2, trying to recenter the belt ended up being a major headache as well as getting the tension back to factory specs.

The beep when the machine starts up is VERY loud, just be warned.

We did enjoy the deep water bottle cups on the unit and of course the iPhone connection to the unit. Programing for individual people seemed less than user friendly so we initially ran as "guests".

Incline and speed control worked well. The deck seemed cusioned well when we ran, the unit barely moved/shook. And the motor was a lot quiter than I thought it would be although still loud enough you have to turn your TV up a bit to compensate.

We waited several days for the replacement parts and when installed the unit worked for a week or 2 before the motor began to stop randomly.

The first time my wife was running and nearly hurt herself when the motor skipped/stopped.

Finally the motor failed to turn on. We read the help section of the user manuel and it mentioned to check contacts under motor cover as well as resetting the system.

This would sometimes start the unit back up for a few seconds to a few minutes before it would shut off again.

We tried various outlets on different circuits as suggested in the manual, it almost seemed as if the motor was working fine but the power supply/control unit was malfunctioning as it would make an odd and disturbing electric "crack" noise and a led indicator would flicker wildly in time with the motor skipping.

We know this unit came with a manufactor warranty but honestly with this many issues with the primary motor/controller in just the first few weeks we were less than thrilled to try.

Knowing Amazon's return policy we contacted them and they arranged for the unit to be returned for a full refund.

Finally if this happens to you, good luck. We did not keep the original box after a week or so since it was so big and akward.

Amazon and the company that was scheduled to pick up the unit (same company that delivered it) stated to try to rebox the unit for shipping back.

It took several large boxes cut and frankensteined together with tape and straps to get something around this 250lb beast.

Overall we were disappointed. This was the first major (read hundreds of dollars) purchase from Amazon and even though delivery and return was hassle free, the overall quality of the treadmill is suspect.

We may have received a bad unit but it made us leary of dropping that kind of money on an item like this in the future.
