Horizon Treadmill

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Manufactured by Johnson Corporation, Horizon treadmills are a class apart. These treadmills have integrated top end technology with economical price ranges to provide the consumers with nothing but the best, for a much lesser price, than the average price of other treadmills. Horizon treadmills aim at customers in the domestic setup as well as commercial setup, such as gymnasiums and hotels. This indirectly shows the caliber of these treadmills and the technology that goes into it to make each one a reliable product. Add to all this, a 25 year business record which speaks for itself.

Horizon treadmills are categorized in the medium price range. But the features that they provide are equal to those found in high range treadmills. Horizon treadmills feature displays which monitor the total distance traveled, calories burnt in the workout session as well as the time elapsed since the start of the workout. These treadmills also feature a heart monitoring device which constantly keeps you informed about your heart function. This helps you in avoiding any undue exertion while exercising. A 2 HP motor and a warrant period ranging from 15 to 25 years is another added advantage. These treadmills can be folded and stored, which is essential for those in apartments or in gyms.

Horizon treadmills can boast of reasonable prices without a compromise in their quality. Every treadmill is put through a series of pre-delivery examination to ensure you get only the best. So if you are a casual exerciser or a professional trainer, Horizon treadmills will meet your demands.

Horizon treadmills may have started as a name to reckon with, but since a long time, they have been fading away. This is mainly due to a single reason that their treadmills do not have the punch that they may have had earlier. I am not prejudiced towards these treadmills, but for a company to be constantly in the race, it needs to develop and adapt to the growing needs of the consumer. This is exactly where Horizon Treadmills have failed miserably.

Although, Horizon Treadmills can boast of a cheap market price, but that’s the only thing that they can boast of. And cheap prices come at a price too. Horizon Treadmills are able to cut cost due to cheap labor offered by China. But this inevitably affects the quality of the machines as well. At the first glance, these treadmills may appear striking, but as time passes by, you will realize that these machines are better off as a showpiece than as a treadmill. The money that you may save by buying these machines will probably be half the amount that you’ll put in these same treadmills for their repairs.

Don’t be disheartened by the fact that quality comes for a price. There are few but substantial number of treadmills which may be a little more expensive than these Horizon Treadmills, but are much better in terms of performance as well as durability. Look around a bit and do your research, you are bound to find one. To conclude, going for a Horizon Treadmill would be being penny wise, but pound-foolish.
