Horizon T101 Treadmill

One of the exclusive technologies on the Horizon T101 treadmill is Variable Response Cushioning, which provides three zones that offer the ideal amount of support for each stride phase.

This system ensures that you have the most natural movement and minimizes impact on your knees and joints, providing the best possible workout.

The T101 has the sturdiness of a non-folding treadmill, yet with the patented Featherlight Folding technology you can easily stow away your machine within seconds.

It features a built in hydraulic system that does all of the work for you. You simply start lifting up the deck and it automatically brings it into the folded position. Unfolding it is just as easy.

And under $700 on sale, it’s an incredible value for what you are getting.

Putting together all of the features that it has, we calculated that it is worth at least $1,500 if not more. So you’re really getting a bang for the buck with the T101 treadmill.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more solid machine at this price level…it simply does not exist.

The T101 features a new bright three window red LED display offering all of the relevant feedback including heart rate, incline, speed, calories, time and distance.

You can very easily see all of the important workout information and monitor your progress as you walk, jog or run.

The Horizon T101 comes with a very respectable warranty, much better than what you usually get with a treadmill in this price range.

You get lifetime coverage on both the frame and the motor, 2 years on parts and 1 year on cushioning and labor. That’s really good coverage on a sub $1000 treadmill.

The company stands behind all of their treadmills, and their strong warranties speak to the confidence that they have in their machines.

The T101 also offers incline capability up to 10%, foam grip handlebars, built-in speakers, Bluetooth audio, a tablet rack, water bottle holder, Energy Saver mode, and 5 built in workouts.

If you are interested in tracking your workouts and syncing them, the T101 does not currently offer this capability. Step up to the T202 which is just a couple $100 more.

For an entry level machine, you really can’t ask for much more. It’s perfect for the casual walker and jogger, and the price is just incredible.

If you are more of a runner, you might want to consider at least the up-level Horizon 7.0 AT , which gives you a wider deck, more powerful motor and more incline.

The Horizon T101 performs very well. The biggest advantages are the silent motor, reliable advanced cushion system, good speakers and the easy folding control.

As we mentioned, the warranty is very good, the readout/interface is intuitive and clear, and there are enough workout programs to choose from.

The belt size is ideal for walking and jogging. Without having to run intensely, you don’t need a larger belt to complete full strides.

All in all, you really can’t beat the Horizon T101 treadmill if you are in the market for an under $700 entry level machine.

It may not have all of the bells and whistles found on the upper end Horizon models, but again, for the price, you really can’t expect it.

The T101 is our top pick in the under $1000 category, and we’re sure you’ll be quite pleased with your purchase should you decide to buy this model.
