Pro Tips & FAQs

Horizon Fitness specializes in treadmills, ellipticals, and stationary bikes, crafted for home use with a focus on durability and performance—all designed to deliver value in versatile cardio workouts.

Horizon is a leading home fitness brand launched in 1998 by Johnson Health Tech, a global equipment manufacturer based in Taiwan with operations in design, R&D, and production across Asia and North America.

Horizon treadmills come with 3-Zone Variable Response cushioning—providing softer landings up front, a supportive mid-zone, and firmer push-off areas. This design mimics a running shoe’s support and delivers a smooth, joint-friendly experience.

Yes—Horizon offers models across a wide range: the entry-level T101 is great for beginners, while advanced models like the 7.8 AT are designed for HIIT and serious runners. Their value-packed build and performance make them a strong choice across abilities.

After each session, make sure to turn off and unplug the machine. Wipe down the running belt, deck, console, and hand grips using a damp cloth with mild soap-and-water solution—never use harsh solvents or spray directly on electronics, as these can cause long-term damage.

Horizon recommends the following maintenance schedule:

Weekly: Fold and vacuum under the treadmill.

Monthly: Confirm all bolts are tight, clean under the motor cover, and wipe debris from around the belt to prevent wear.

Every 150 miles or 3 months (for silicone surfaces): Reapply silicone lubricant to the deck as specified in your manual.
These steps help keep your treadmill smooth, quiet, and durable.
