Horizon Evolve Treadmill review

The Horizon Evolve Treadmill was designed with a single thing in mind. Keep it simple and save space. And the horizon engineers manage to achieve this goal. The Evolve model is easy to hold and will fit under beds or in closets. It does not require assemble and is very simple to use.

On the other hand the Horizon Evolve Treadmill can be compared with a big toy by serious trainers. Yes, it folds nice, save a lot of space but it seemed that all other things were forgotten in order to achieve this. The motor is a 1,25 chp and the belt will not work for a bigger person.

There are serious advantages and disadvantages for this treadmill. We consider this a niche product, a treadmill made specially for the ones that just want to walk and want to save space and money.

Ultra compact design
The Horizon Evolve Treadmill is designed to fit almost everywhere. Because of his small dimensions (when you fold it has 10’’ x 59’’) it can fit under bet or in the closet.

Display

2 built in workouts
The treadmill comes with 2 built in workouts that will add variety to your training routine.

The Horizon Evolve Treadmill can keep a maximum user weight of 250 lbs.

Conclusion Horizon Evolve Treadmill review

We know that the serious runners will say that this treadmill is a toy. And we agree – if you are considering running you should not go for this model because is not for you.

On the other hand if you want to do walking workouts you can consider this model as a solution.

There are two main advantages:
The Horizon Evolve Treadmill is easy to fold and after you fold it you can put in under your bed or in the closed.

The other main advantage is the fact that it does not need to be assembled. You just open the box, unfold it and it’s ready to go.

We think that this model is made especially for seniors or light trainers that leave in small apartments. This treadmill will not satisfy a runner or a more serious trainer.

If you are a person that only plan to walk and occasionally do some light jogging and you want to save some space you can consider the Horizon Evolve Treadmill. But remember that he is an economy treadmill.

You can also watch these 3 commercial videos made by Horizon for the Evolve class.

Conclusion Horizon CT83 Treadmill review

The Horizon CT 83 is a better version of the Horizon CT 81 and comes with a more powerful motor and bigger belt. This model has also more workout programs and a much nicer console.

The machine is a heavy one so you will probably need some help when you assemble it. However after is fully assemble it’s easy to fold and move around.

We like that Horizon though about the comfort of the runners and mounted an mp3&sound system plus that Vortex fan.

Overall it’s a good quality machine that gives you some space to move while working out and some nice features to entertain the boredom of running in place. The heavy runners should chose a machine with a more powerful motor .Anyway the Horizon CT83 Treadmill will fully satisfy any regular home user.

The CT81 has also the following functions and features: Orange backlit LCD, Contact heart rate grips and a Blower fan.

Conclusion Horizon CT81 Treadmill review

What we like especially at this model is the motor. Is not the motor power but the fact that is very quiet. Surprisingly quiet for an entry level treadmill.

For this price range the CT81 model has all you need: 8 built in training workouts, pulse rate and fan. These features are enough for most of the home users that are not looking to run into a marathon.

We wished that this treadmill had a more power motor (a 2.5 Chp one will be nice) and a longer belt to accommodate tall persons. Also the built in fan is very nice but it doesn’t have enough power and the direction is not adjustable.

Overall the Horizon CT81 Treadmill is a good entry level machine with some nice features and built in workouts. If you are a heavy runner or a serious trainer we recommend looking for a better & expensive machine.

All the models in this series have a low number of built in workouts. The Horizon 5.3T model, which is the top of the line, has only 10 workouts (this is a low number for this class). Even so, the workouts are very interesting and we especially loved the Golf Course workout.

Conclusion for Horizon 3.3T Treadmill review

The Horizon 3.3T Treadmill is the best machine in the Horizon Elite series. It is good training machine with a solid frame and powerful motor. It will satisfy the casual trainers but also the ones that train for often and for longer periods of time.

As a minus is the lack of entertainment features: no mp3 dock, sound system or TV and the small number of build in workouts. We don’t understand why Horizon put such a limited number of training programs in this series: the Horizon 1.3T Treadmill has only 3 workouts and Horizon 2.3T Treadmill only 4 workouts.

Anyway these minuses are not a deal breaker and overall this treadmill is a worth the money. It has a very pleasant design, doesn’t look cheap at all, can be easily fold and have a good motor & belt.

Horizon 2.3Tl Treadmill review

The Horizon 2.3Tl Treadmill is a better version of the Horizon 1.3 model. Overall it is a solid machine with a good and quiet motor that will satisfy the medium trainer. It’s costing 300$ more than the 1.3T model and the money difference can be seen only when is about the engine and the number of the training workouts (from 1.75 to 2 CHP and from 3 to 4).

Same as the previous model the Horizon 2.3Tl Treadmill is a solid and durable machine but in the same time is a boring one. Only 4 workouts, no mp3 dock, speakers or TV screen.

Conclusion Horizon 1.3T Treadmill review

Horizon 1.3T Treadmill it’s definitely not the kind that can fit under a bed or be rolled to a closet, but it’s it folds up nicely against a wall. This treadmill doesn’t have a lot of features and is pretty basic but in the same time is a great training machine for anyone looking for a home-based treadmill.

As a minus we should note the fact that the engine is not very powerful and you have only 3 workouts.

This treadmill is an entry level machine but he comes with some features that are not regular in his class. Don’t expect to get a super training machine for this money. Instead you will get a robust and decent treadmill that will be more than enough for a light trainer who only wants to loose some weight or do simple workouts.

If you are a serious trainer or you want a “fun” treadmill we recommend getting another model. If just want run your daily 3 miles this machine is a very good choice.
