Horizon GS 1035T Treadmill

Question

What are you feelings on the Horizon GS1035T treadmill? Our main purpose is for weight loss.

Answer

The Horizon GS 1035T treadmill is a decent mid-level offering from Horizon that is at the cusp of the very competitive $1000 - $1500 dollar treadmill market. The Horizon looks good on paper and will win over many casual consumers with a feature set that includes:

• 2.25 h.p continuous drive motor
• a 20" x 55" two-ply belt
• 0.5 to 10 mph with 0-10% incline
• Console speakers with an  MP3 input and headphone output
• 16 workout programs

But with a less than stellar frame and drive components, coupled with a warranty that's only average in this class, I have other reservations about the Hoizon such as:

• No wireless heart rate control
• Doesn't fold for space effeciency
• Motor strength for treadbelt size and user rating
• Short warranty for this price range

 It's not that the Horizon is a terrible treadmill by any means, but when you throw it up against the class leading Sole F63 Treadmill with a larger motor, better drive system, wireless heart rate control and a Lifetime warranty on the motor and frame, with 5 years parts and labor it becomes pretty evident that it's not worth the investment at a $1200 dollar price point.
