Horizon Fitness does have a no subscription sports app. Heck, it’s not a deal killer, as you can always use your tablet and link up to your favorite fitness apps such FitBit and MyFitnessPal still, for people who don’t like using apps, the lack of workout programs could be an issue.

This is disappointing we expect at least 10 for the price point workout programs are great for giving you an extra challenge and keeping away the monotony of long cardio sessions. The T202 only provides you with five workout programs. You can just jump on the machine and get running without having to spend 20mins trying to figure out how the thing works however, what it lacks are built-in workout programs. Sometimes uncomplicated monitors with fewer features are the best choice. It’s nice and easy to use with large one-touch buttons both for speed and incline levels. Because the T202 incline is power-adjustable, you can simply press one of the one-touch buttons to choose the level on incline to suit your workout.īecause this machine delivers so well on all of the essential features such as running belt size, height of incline, build quality, and speed, there has to be a drawback somewhere, and I think for some, it’s going to be the monitor.Īlthough simple, I like the monitor. Thankfully the Horizon T2020 treadmill has one of the best incline features in its price bracket with an impressive max of 12% that’s about 7 degrees.Īnd what’s best of all is, you don’t have to get off the machine in the middle of the workouts to change the inclination level. Incline workouts are great for strengthening and toning those hard to train muscle groups.Īnd if you’re after burning some calories and shedding a few unwanted pounds? An incline cardio session is an excellent choice, as you’ll burn up to 3 times more calories walking at a 10% incline than you would if you were walking on flat.ģ0mins walking at 4mph on a 10% incline will burn 375 calories, compared to 120 walking for the same time in flat as you can see, incline cardio sessions will bring many health benefits to your workouts. When walking or running at an incline, you’ll be working your glutes, calves, and hamstrings. Incline workouts will target different muscle groups compared to walking on a flat surface. Good stuff from Horizon!Īnother feature I highly recommend you look for when buying a treadmill is incline. One of the only machines in this price bracket that we can recommend for tall and shorter users. It doesn’t matter what size you are, short or tall, a long, wide running belt is essential to feel comfortable when exercising. While most machines in this price bracket only allow for walking and jogging because of their shorter sized belt, we can happily say the T202 can be used for walking, jogging, and faced paced running. It will determine who can use the machine and whether you can walk, jog, or run on the machine. The running belt is the most important feature of any treadmill. We usually see running belts this size on treadmills costing twice as much, so it was surprising to see a belt this size offered on a treadmill that essentially costs under $800. Boasting a large 20″x 60″ belt is impressive, especially when we consider the price of the machine. Without a doubt, the best feature of the T202 treadmill has to be the size of the running belt. Why Do We Like The Horizon T202 Treadmill?

Ok, the T202 isn’t commercial-grade, and for well under $1k, we wouldn’t expect it to be, nor does it boast tons of advanced features where this machine shines is its running belt size, top speed, build quality, and height of incline.īefore we get on with the rest of the review, let’s take a quick look at the product specs! And if you want to see how the Horizon matches up against its main rival in this price bracket, the Schwinn 810, make sure to read through to the end as I’ll be comparing both and seeing which one offers the most for the money. In our Horizon T202 Treadmill review, we’re going to take a close look at all of the pros and cons of this capable entry/mid-level machine. I’ve reviewed a ton of their products, and they never fail to impress. Long warranties are a telling sign that this company stands behind its products, and the unusually high user ratings reflect what this company stands for. When you buy something from these guys, you can expect quality and, best of all, market-beating long warranties. For a while now, Horizon Fitness has been sitting at the top of the tree for quality fitness gear at affordable prices.
