Sports reviews of Horizon Fitness T74 Treadmill

Customer Review: Loved it at first but didn't last
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

Note - I didn't buy this treadmill from Amazon. This is an 18 month review from an average runner 165 lbs, 30-40 weekly miles, not too fast and not too slow.

The first 500 miles was great! Quiet, sturdy, and smooth. Powered on and just went.

After that, the noises started and the "walking" belt started slipping. Cleaned lubed adjusted belt per manual. It worked for another week okay, but required constant belt adjustment - alignment adjustments before every run for a month then tightening adjustments during the runs. The slipping felt like running on snow where you never know when you'll hit an ice patch. Not fun! Increasing incline helped reduce slippage but I don't prefer running at 5% incline.

Horizon was great with warranty parts replacement and service till the year was up. They replaced the deck, side rails (plastic parts that held it in place cracked and added to the noise), motor drive belt (motor was slightly misaligned from the beginning and slowly destroyed the belt), then lastly the walking belt was replaced since the rear alignment screws were backed all of the way.

Since then I've taken it apart and cleaned the front drive roller twice thinking that the roller is the only real part where slippage could occur. Er...still slips. Sadly it's now only used for walking. So I'm disappointed and frustrated.

The T74 is easily storable, thanks to Horizon's exclusive Featherlight lift, which incorporates two hydraulic shocks to assist you when raising and lowering the deck. They even hold the deck in place above 45 degrees, eliminating drops. The ultra-compact, fold-on-nose design is the safest, easiest in its class.

The Horizon Quietdrive system use an integrated digital drive for fast, accurate control. Its continuous duty motor--the same type found in health club units--also incorporates large magnets to keep the RPM low, which translates to a quieter motor that will run longer and generate more power than other treadmill motors.

About Treadmills
Walking is still considered one of the most beneficial cardiovascular exercises for people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. As a fundamental form of aerobic training, walking has numerous physical benefits for the heart, lungs, and circulatory system, while also increasing muscle tone and burning fat calories. Treadmills provide a convenient way to regularly exercise in all weather conditions in the comfort and safety of your own home.

From beginners just starting an exercise regimen to advanced athletes looking to maintain their fitness level, anyone interested in getting and staying in shape can benefit greatly from regular use of a treadmill. Treadmills allow you to determine the pace, distance, and complexity of the workout based on your needs, all while watching television, talking on the telephone, or reading a magazine. Much easier on sensitive joints like the knees and hips, treadmill walking and running surfaces are typically long, padded platforms that allow ample room for a long stride and comfortable, low-impact walk or jog without the harsh contact of a concrete surface.

While many different types, styles, and price ranges of treadmills exist, many of them offer unique features like a fold-up design for easy storage, an electronic display monitor showing speed, distance, workout time, incline level, and burned calories, and EKG grip pulses to monitor the heart rate while exercising. Regardless of the simple to complex features you may choose, treadmills offer an array of aerobic exercise opportunities that will provide long-lasting beneficial cardiovascular results without a commute to the gym or a jog in the rain.
