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.
