Horizon 7.8 AT Treadmill Review

If you live an active lifestyle and are interested in increasing your ability to stay active at home, the Horizon 7.8 AT treadmill is worth a look. It’s one of the latest additions to the brand’s lineup and is proving a very strong contender in the under $2,000 price range. I’ve been using mine for several months now, and I’d recommend it if:

You’re taller and/or heavier than average.
You enjoy HIIT training.
You have limited space and need a foldable machine.
You want a treadmill with built-in programs.
You need a unit that’s easy to move around the room.
You engage in heart rate training.
You’re a competitive runner who needs a responsive treadmill.

The larger-than-standard running surface measures 22″ x 60″, perfect for taller runners. My favorite feature is the fact that Horizon treadmills are engineered for any live or on-demand fitness apps. Many companies limit compatibility to a handful of apps with which they have a partnership. In some cases, you can only sync with the company’s app, so this is an excellent feature for anyone who uses multiple fitness apps and wants a way to consolidate their workout experience.

For a product in the $2,000 price range, the Horizon 7.8 AT is highly-durable and adequately equipped. I love the 10 built-in programs. Even when I just want a quick workout without setting up my iPad, I’m still able to enjoy a targeted experience geared toward my goals. Synchronization with various external apps, high quality, responsive customer service, exceptional warranty, and high durability make the Horizon 7.8 AT an excellent treadmill, especially for tall runners who enjoy interval training. Best of all, with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, you have peace-of-mind in knowing you aren’t tied down until you’ve had the chance to try it for yourself.

I’ve spent hours on my Horizon 7.8 AT, and I’d highly recommend it for taller runners, those who don’t want to pay extra for fancy tech, and anyone who engages in interval training. Make sure you don’t miss out on the latest equipment the fitness industry has to offer, and subscribe to FitRated!

Can you please explain how and why you mounted the speed control handles so the wheels are perpendicular to the user? Was this done to help prevent the wheel turning inadvertently if accidentally touched while running?

I think you installed the speed controls wrong. They're not supposed to be sideways but up and down.
