Conclusion Horizon GS1040T Treadmill review

The Horizon GS1040T Treadmill presents itself with a very attractive design and with a quality promise. And, is not far from that goal. The model incorporates enough fitness tools for a home user and in plus comes with a sound system and built-in fan (why do they bother to add these fan if they don’t have enough power).

This machine is in Low midrange class. That means you will good receive a good value for the money paid, it will fully satisfy a home trainer but in the same time will not do any wonders.

The GS1040T has a nice design, a powerful motor and a spacious belt. But if you are planning intensive use or long running sessions you should look for other models or brands.

Overall, we consider the Horizon GS1040T Treadmill a good machine for a home gym but don’t expect too much from it.

Conclusion for Sole F63 Treadmill review

Also you may want to know that assembling and installation is not a hard job but it will probably take you around 1 h.

This treadmill is a very good machine but many users complain but the noise he made. For the economy category this is the single serious minus we found. The rest are just details.

The motor is a very powerful one, you have a lot of room and even if you don’t have any advanced cushioning system the ride is comfortable.

You have also a built in fan but like almost all models we tested so far it doesn’t have enough power.

Overall the Sole F63 Treadmill is a great value and is one of the top treadmills in the $1000 range. If you have only $1000 to spend we highly recommend this model.

This treadmill is easy to assemble and you will around 1 h to install this machine and in the package you will find all the tools you need for assemble this machine.

The Bowflex 7 series treadmill runs and feels like a solid and quality training machine. The belt runs smoothly, the motor is fairly quiet and you can easy adjust the speed and inline of the treadmill. Everything just feels solid on this machine.

What we didn’t like is the fact that action messages are present in a format hard to read. The message is scrolling horizontally but you can only read 2 letters at a time which is very difficult. Also we’ve expected more power from the built in fan.

Another small problem is the fact that the grip heart-rate monitor takes a very long time to provide a reading.

The Proform 4.5 Trainer Treadmill comes also with a decent sound system and an IPod dock. It also has 8 built in workouts and a very nice Weight Loss Center. Overall we think that this treadmill has a good value for an economy class machine.

It would be nice if they extend the warranty for parts and if the incline system and maximum speed will be bigger. But in the end this is a economy treadmill and we think that it’s worth the money.

Conclusion for The ProForm 4.5 Trainer Treadmill review

The ProForm 4.5 Trainer treadmill has a very nice console and a beautiful design. It comes with a good & powerful motor and with a very solid frame.

We especially liked the Custom Weight Loss center. This feature let you create a custom training program base in your personal details and goal.

We also appreciated the Interplay Universal iPod Dock system and the 2 speakers. Also we appreciated the life time warranty for the motor but in the same time we wished for a better warranty for the parts.

We can complain about the belt because it has only 55 inches on length. A 60 inch belt would add more value to this treadmill.

Overall the Proform 4.5 Trainer Treadmill is a good solid machine that will fit perfectly in your home gym. But this is still a economy treadmill and we don’t think will please a serious runner or a heavy trainer.
