Horizon treadmills and ellipticals
Horizon is the home brand of Johnson Health Tech, the company behind Matrix gym equipment, and its treadmills draw on the same supply chain for rollers, decks and motor controllers. You get a well-made machine with an LED console and a shelf for the tablet you already own.

Horizon questions, answered
Is Horizon a good brand?
Yes, and an underrated one. Johnson Health Tech makes gym equipment for a living, current Horizon treadmills carry a lifetime frame and motor warranty, and the T101 is the treadmill under $1,000 we'd recommend first.
Which Horizon treadmill should I buy?
The T101 for walking and light jogging, and the 7.0 AT for runners who do intervals. The 7.4 AT is the step up if you want a 22-inch belt, a 3.5 CHP motor and a 350 lb rating.
