The Horizon T1201 Treadmill Review

DEAL ALERT: We found that Horizon Fitness was selling the Horizon T1201 Treadmill for $1,299. Check out the Horizon Website to buy the Horizon T1201.

The Horizon T1201 treadmill features our most powerful motor, as well as our most advanced console – with an iPod^® dock that lets you control your iPod^® from the advanced console.

We’ve reviewed Horizon Treadmills in the past and found that Horizon Fitness makes quality treadmills. We think Horizon treadmills have proven to be well worth their money (See the Horizon LS780T Treadmill Review) and they also offer a reputable lifetime warranty. With that being said we were excited to have a chance to review Horizon’s top of the line product, the Horizon T1201 Treadmill.

As we began our review of the Horizon T1201, we were sure to keep in mind that the this particular treadmill was one of their top products, so we wanted our test runner to push it to the max. We started off by doing a quick walk around of the T1201 treadmill. The frame was solid and the running deck looked like it would provide a solid running surface. We had the runner hop on to begin to test the performance of the treadmill. The Horizon T1201 Treadmill comes with 7 workout programs but for the test we had the test runner move the speed and incline up and down throughout the workout. The running belt is powered by a 2.5 CHP motor which was adequate to enough to provide a consistent workout platform for our test runner.

The console on the Horizon T1201 has loads of features and the look of it is very easy on the eyes. The Horizon T1201 Treadmill offers something new that other treadmills aren’t offering on their consoles. If you look closely at the picture of the console, you can see a perfectly designed holder for you iPod® and on top of that just below it are the controls to navigate your iPod®. To us, this seemed like a great feature for any potential treadmill buyer. Not only does it have the ability to hold your iPod® but you can also control it with the treadmill controls. Now, that you’ve got your iPod® squared away the Horizon T1201 treadmill also has built-in speakers for you to hear crystal clear music.

TTR Recommendation

We’ll give it to Horizon again, they have designed another quality treadmill. We like the fact that the Horizon T1201 comes with a lifetime warranty because that tells us they know this treadmill will last. We also liked the moderate price tag—at $1,299 the Horizon T1201 provides a great workout without breaking the bank.
