- Real Review | Why We Bought The Horizon T101 Treadmill Over Treadmills from Amazon. Yup, we wanted to get a treadmill and we had a budget. I had no idea how expensive treadmills were, especially for one that had all the features that we wanted. Plus a treadmill that we wouldn't regret buying. Our budget was around the $700 mark (Canadian) so we went on the hunt. Like a lot of people, we started first on Amazon as we really had no idea where to look. Plus some of the sites that we did look at had treadmills that were way out of our budget. Luckily my wife actually stumbled upon an article that talked about the top 5 treadmills on the market as of now and the Horizon T101 was one that was within our budget. So we decided to give it a look. Especially putting it up against treadmills on Amazon that were at a similar price. We hope that this video helps those that are looking at getting a treadmill. We are very pleased with our purchase.

This is probably the best purchase that I've made this year. I'm currently on day 3 and have used it every day and some days twice! Gonna shed these pounds! What are you doing to get rid of that Covid weight?

Thank you so much. You're literally the first person everywhere (youtube, reddit etc.) that actually mentions a long treadmill. I'm about 6'2 210lbs and I ordered a treadmill off amazon and didn't even pay attention to the length of it, and once I've used it it was very short and I would feel like I would fall while running. I ended up selling it, and now I was looking everywhere and I couldn't find a good length and I came across this video! So thank you!!
check out sole treadmills
Very helpful! I was skeptical about this purchase as its my first and this gave me so much more comfort
Glad it was helpful!
We have a Nordictrack that was purchased from Sears (when they were still around), a number of years ago for around $800.00. Love it and use it every day. The only issue is finding parts. I purchased a replacement drive belt and it took some time to find a supplier.
That's a nice looking treadmill with a lot of features. Have fun with it!
thats a nice brand for sure. Im on day 3 of using this (as of today) and really enjoying it
I bought mine yesterday and tried it out today. I love it! Thanks for the review
Glad you like it!
thank you for this lovely review! It helped me to make the purchase after eyeing it for a while :) Have a good one!
Hope you enjoy it!
Loved your review style. No bs. Ordering the T101. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Great review. I purchased mine from a local sporting goods store & paid for delivery & assembly (assembled one once before & never again). Nice model for light jogging & walking.
yes, i totally agree.
Thanks so much! I bought this and expect delivery in a couple of days. I’ve been super worried because I don’t know anything about buying treadmills. But I’m only slightly taller than a grasshopper so if you find this comfortable, then I should be fine. Now I can relax and just be excited.
we have just moved and have it resetup in our new home. Been using it 3-4 times per week again. Great treadmill. We are very happy with it.
Really like ur video. Good walk thru . Thank you for ur time & instruction. Helped my wife & I out alot. 😁👍
Glad I could help
I am now, right where you were when you first decided to buy a treadmill. I looked on line at many sites, but I am such a novice. I do like the points that you discussed and helped me to make a decision. Thanks so much!
Happy to help!
Great and very informative video man. I'm considering getting this same treadmill. 👍
We just purchased the horizon t101. Hubby is just finishing the set up. Very pleased I chose this model. I went into local sports store and tried it out to be sure I could handle a treadmill with my osteoarthritis knees that can’t take walking on rough ground, concrete nor gravel for very long. I was amazed testing out T101 after walking for several minutes the pain disappeared and I could keep walking.
100% recommend the horizon T101 for walking. Especially if you have joint problems.
Great to hear! we love ours. I usually use it during the winter months as i try and get outside to walk when its warmer. But so far we are very happy with our purchase.
Thanks for this review, I had many questions and you answered them. I will be purchasing this treadmill.
Enjoy. I enjoy using ours!
Nice looking treadmill. Fan integrated is always a great feature. We have the BowFlex TreadClimber TC100, which now seems they have discontinued. So this looks like a great replacement once ours dies.
yeah, I'm super happy with it. been using it every day with the Apple Fitness + app and my apple watch! Great motivation!
Thank you for the review, I'll be getting mine in the morning
nice. it is really heavy. so be aware. not bad if moving on the same floor. but you will need a second person for sure if moving to a different floor. Let us know what you think of it.
How is the treadmill working out for you, can you do an update on the treadmill.
Thanks Great video. Very timely for me. I was looking at Amazon Canada vs Horizon doing same compare. I was wondering if the weight (almost 2x amazon) was a big negative. Looks like it is an issue but worth the tradeoff. One question - does the speed increment in decimals or only whole numbers eg can you go from 3 to 3.4 or 3.8 or do you have to go from 3 to 4 directly and nothing in between?.
yeah the big numbers are for being able to jump to a speed quickly. But there is a + and - for going up or down by .1 Im definitely loving this treadmill. Very pleased with our purchase. But it is heavy.
Thanks for the review. I was eyeing one on Amazon also and was soo close to buying one, but we ended up at Dick's Sporting Goods which carries the Horizon T101 and we were sold. Just bought it today. I can't wait to start using it!
Enjoy
Nice review, I think we made our choice.
Excellent review. I may not have room for this one. Thanks.
No worries!
Thank you great review. Looking at one tomarrow.
nice. ive been very happy with ours.
Just got mine yesterday. Thank u so much this was very helpful my brother
No problem 👍Enjoy!
How long did shipping take?'
@@Aztekko about a week free shipping
great quality very informative review video!
Thank you for the review! I’ll be purchasing this within the next two weeks & I was worried about the width (I’m about 5’9 and a bit wide), so this helps a lot!
im loving it. using it twice a day. enjoy yours when you get it
@@gregtoope how is the treadmill doing?
Great review! Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s a nice one. I was looking for a more compact treadmill to walk on because it’s so HOT in Florida I can’t stand to be outside too long. I wanted one that fits under the bed but like you I didn’t want it to be too small. I settled for one with a 16.5 running area, 47.2 in length and a 2.5 motor on Amazon. It looks like an older model by Urevo. It’s not as cute and colorful as the newer ones. It’s allow steel, grey and black. The reviews were really good and I did not see any that mentioned anything breaking down like some of the many others I looked at. Foldable safe handrail, Time, Speed, Distance and Calories Monitor, APPs Support with Bluetooth, 265lbs (I’m 135-140) weight capacity, 2.5HP Brushless Motor, Less than 25dB, Longer service life (2 yrs.) The bonus, when I was looking at it, there was a message saying it would be going on sale in 4 hours. Of course I waited and it went from $250 to $199. The original price was $369.99. I just ordered it and I’ll get it on July 31st. I’m excited! Great review.
Thaks for the review.. Did I hear a squeaking noise while you were treading? It sounded like a noise coming from the belt??
Love the review! I plan to buy one now after buying one from Amazon and returning (it came damaged)
nice. we love ours.
This was very helpful, as I was just looking at this, and if I buy it today, I get an extra 50$ off! Question though- do you think the warranty it comes with is good enough or did you buy one of the extended warranties?
I didn't buy the extended warranty. But thats really a question that only you can answer.
Thank you for your help and for let us know lots of information
Most welcome 🙏🏻
Great review!
Great video! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Great information!!
Thanks for your video. What is that squeaking noise that you hear when you are walking on the treadmill? Is that your foot dragging on the rolling mat or is it something loose in the frame?
Yeah its my foot. I always use shoes when running. And no squeaking , but i was just showing this quick, so decided not to
@@gregtoope I heard the creaking when you were letting it down...don't think it's your foot.
Cool review👍 thank you
Thanks for sharing these review !! I hope my virtual walk videos from USA, will help your viewers with enlacing their walk experience !! New videos will be updated each week! 😍
Hi @cruisincanada, I bought this treadmill in Markham, Ontario after seeing your review. It works great. Lately I have been hearing it creak as it starts up and click as well as it changes the speed. Do you notice this on the treadmill.
i havnt but i do check all the nuts and bolts to make sure they are tight about once a month.
Just ordered one of these today, I have a gym membership but I figured the days I can’t make it to the gym I could walk on it at home.
Woooooooow thank you for this review
Loved your review! So glad you're happy with your purchase. This is definitely not a running treadmill though. The motor and belt are not equipped for such use. Running requires a belt at least 55cm wide x 140cm long. For people 6 foot or over they require a longer belt. The motor for walking should be at least 2CHP, but running requires at least 3CHP. CHP is continuous horsepower. Many cheaper treadmills just say HP, not CHP. HP is the peak strain it will take for a short period of time (if sustained it can damage the treadmill motor). CHP is continuous, meaning that is the output power that it can sustain for extended periods of time and regular use. The roller on that looks absolutely pitiful. Larger rollers mean more durability and reduced motor and belt wear. They should be at least 3 inches but preferably 4 inch minimum. I believe the specs on that said they were not even 2 inches. The treadmill is also pretty loud, but most folding ones will be (and some non folding). For higher end the motor is more quiet but foot impact is commonly *bang bang bang*. It's not about the user's weight or size, but the materials and design of the treadmill.
Not knocking your purchase at all. I'm just putting this here for someone who wants to be able to run on their treadmill so they will know what to look for. Running will probably cost a lot more, but will be more durable and really, treadmills are expensive so you'd want them to last for years. Pretty impressed with the reasonable warranty on this one (another thing to look out for).
Thank you for the info! this kind of info I been looking all over internet
I have an Horizon ct5.2, so far still going since 2013.
Hello great video.
Not sure if you are using running shoes normally but I highly recommend you using them if you are not, so you don’t not injure your knees !!
Thanks love
Yes I’m always using running shoes.
Great review!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Good value for C$760. I haven't seen anything in stock for under $1k with this size deck (including this unit with hasn't been on sale this month). A smaller deck would really limit the use for anyone around 6 ft.
Nice Video! How is this treadmill so far? I' found the reviews on Amazon and BBB were mixed but am very interested in it because I'm living in Canada (west coast) too.
I’ve been using 1-2 times per day and no complaints. Very happy with it. Only thing is that it is really heavy.
@@gregtoope Thanks Cruisn!
Great review. Thank you
Very welcome, thanks for watching.
Very useful video, Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
sweet might just grab this one. thx!
im enjoying mine. its currently on a moving truck, so hope it arrives at our new place soon!
Looks great
It is. Im using it now 3-4 times a week for 45mins.
Great review! Waterloo Ont
Thanks for watching!
Great review! I’m in the market for this one. I want to finalize my decision within 2-3 weeks. Is it loud when you run and can it be heard from other rooms? I assume the sound of running would be typical….
we dont usually hear each other when we are using it, but i would guess that would all depend on the level of sound proofing your house has.
Got you. Thanks for replying!
Thanks man !!! I can’t wait till mines come in the mail do you have any tips for putting it together does it come with tools or can you use power tools
It comes with all the little tools that you should need. My wife and I put it together. So if we can do it you should have no problems. It is a crazy heavy box though. Be prepared for that. Definitely a 2 person lift.
Thanks great to know !!!
Great review thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I know this is an older video but I just ordered this same model myself. The only concern I'm having is... how difficult was the assembly? Easy enough?
My wife and I did it with no issues. But it is a heavy treadmill. So I’d recommend having a second person if possible.
Hello! Hope all is well. Wanted to know how has this treadmill worked for you since? Any issues? Does it withstand running?
It's good. have it in storage right now as we are getting ready to move. but was using it pretty much every day. no issues.
@@gregtoope thank u for replying. Truly appreciate you.
now that it’s been over a year since you posted this, how has it been keeping up? also, does it make a lot of loud/squeaky noise when running on it? i’m 260lb and looking for something sturdy. i’m considering purchasing this one but i want to be sure it’s worth it. hope you could get back to me, thank you for the review.
check out sole treadmill
Just got this one last night from Dick's. They had a good deal for $699 that included delivery & installation. I'm looking forward to using this.
This one VS the golds gym 430i ? Any big takes ???
Well done
thanks
Thanks for sharing your review! I was wondering, is it loud in the room or rooms below where you are using it? I rent the upper floor of my parents' house, and they go to bed early so I really need something that I can use at night that won't wake them up. It's an older house so we have some squeaky floors as well. Thanks again!
the treadmill itself isnt loud as ours is in our bedroom on the upper floor above the living room. My wife says that she doesnt hear the treadmill running, but she does hear my feet hitting the treadmill. But i am a heavier guy. So my guess would be it all depends on how heavy you are and how soft you walk/run.
How is your treadmill holding up? How much do you use it?
hey cruisin, been looking into this model. i'm 6'1" , think the floor would be long enough to support my stride?
Well I’m 6’0. And it works great for me.
@@gregtoope awesome! thanks for the quick response bro!
As a follow up. I just finished installing and went for a test run. Works great for my size . Plenty of space for my bigfoot feet (just like the video). Glad I went with this treadmill, thanks bro!
Thank you sooooo much! :-D
You're welcome!
Awesome info dude! Is it still working well a year later? I def want this one. May wait to see if it discounts on Black Friday... If yours is still working lol
yup still working. didnt use it much over the summer, but back at it now.
@@gregtoope that's what's up! Thank you man!
@@Nothingmuch1039 most welcome 🙏🏻
I enjoy using mine I bought it a year ago love it and was working right at first I would say witching 6/7 months it would suddenly stop on my work out it is the t101 horizon I wouldn’t trade it for another one. But getting someone to come check it out and fix it I have no luck I’ve done what they ask to leave a brief message or go online and put the the info required and no answer back for and results at all I really don’t know where to go from there I still have factory warranty
Ugh, this is sounding like most of these companies…does anyone know a company that actually stands behind its product with good costumer service???
So Doel, 11 mos later, how did it go with getting it repaired? Horizon ever come through, or is it a ghost company? We all are waiting to hear...
I just read that Horizon put out a software update to fix this. Contact horizon and they’ll mail you a USB with the firmware update, or you can download it from their website and put it on your own thumb stick to plug into your treadmill to fix that issue.
Hi @Cruisn Canada , appreciate your reviews on t101, I am more convinced to purchase it now. Wondering how long it took for the delivery and would it support running for a person who is 115Kg?
we got ours in about 2 weeks and im about 5kg heavier than you. So you should be fine.
Thank you very much
The ceiling in my basement is low and I am six one. How tall of a ceiling do you think that I need?
on the treadmill description it says the treadmill is around 70 inches long. Is that for real? Because I pulled out a measuring tape and that's about as long as a small car, but on pictures and reviews it doens't look THAT long. exactly how long is it because I'm kinda short on space.
How did u get free shipping? I was about to purchase and they want to charge $150 for shipping
Kudos to you for doing it yourself ! I have a question . After the assembly did you have one of the tiny ring left as an extra ? When I threw the box , I saw one tiny ring . Did the handyman I hired forgot to bro put it on somewhere or that’s an extra that was not needed? Pls let me know
What speed should I walk on treadmill?
Just saw my doctor today and the news was not good, I need to lose 20-30lbs by year end.
Thanks to your review, I'm getting one.
All the best on your journey. Ive started back on the treadmill this week. Slow and steady. Just be sure to get into a routine and dont go to hard in the beginning.
I hear ya! I also am obese based on my BMI but my doc didn't essentially say I need to lose weight. But I am having stomach acid issues and I am thinking losing weight would also help with the issue. Good luck to you! You can do it!!
@@youtubehandle0thank you for the support and if you don't mind me correcting you...I think you meant to say "We" can do it!
@@eddiet4708 yup, you are right. "We" can do it!!!
Hello! Could you please let me know how can I move this treadmill (I just received it and I'm very happy with it so far!)? I know that I have to fold it up but then I'm not sure how to roll it..I just need to change its position in the room.
grab the top of the deck and tilt towards you the wheels are at the back
I'm 5'9 over 300 lbs. I think I'm too big for this type of treadmill but very helpful video!
no way, you’re not too big, mine is horizon t02 version and it’s max weight is 325lbs. i got mine on the actual horizon site and got it for like $900 plus free shipping. shipping carrier just brought the immense 232lbs. box to the bottom of house steps, my 14 yo son + I somehow got it up steps onto a blanket and dragged to the living room. so keep in mind you’ll probably need help or pay for white glove shipping.
and just think you’ll be

I would absolutely love to hear your review of this treadmill since you have had it. Please
Hi what's the incline
Is it loud
it's still a good buy this treadmill? thank you Greg!
i still use it as of now and im using it usually 2-3 times per week.
@@gregtoope in my area it cost 1402.9 canadian dolars (1125USD). you think it"s a good buy? thanks again
I found one used in good condition for $175. After this review I will be buying it!
thats an amazing price. Enjoy!
Thought you would have had your first work out Greg just getting up the stairs 😃 Wonder how much extra juice it's going to cost you?
Our first work out was definitely trying to get this up the stairs! So heavy! But now that its here it is getting used a lot! Day 3 and using it all the time!
@@gregtoope Couple of months time your be needing a complete new wardrobe man! 😆
I’m was leaning towards getting the T202 model with its slightly more powerful motor and longer track. But I do like the T101’s display better and it’s $300 CDN less expensive.
But then I bought a smart watch, and discovered that I’m currently doing 12-14,000 steps a day at work, frequently more. So getting a treadmill got pushed WAY down on my list of things to buy.
That makes sense. Since I work at a desk most of the time. This gets me back to walking/running. Its been great for me.
@@gregtoope
True. When I’m running around the shop I can easily do 10,000+ steps in a day (I did over 18,000 last Thursday). But when I spend the day working on my laptop instead my step count drops to only a few thousand. And the same goes for the weekends - only a few thousand per day there. So I’m still planning on buying the T202, it’s just dropped down on my list of priorities since I learned how much running around I’m already doing.
@@2011Kestrel totally makes sense.
Does anyone know how to change the settings to KM instead of miles?
I know you probably get this question a million times. But what camera and settings are you using
I primarily use the Canon R6 with lots of color correcting. I actually use the Cinestyle profile that you can download. Gives it a flat color that is nice for grading
@@gregtoope The quality is amazing. Thanks for staring.

How is this treadmill still standing up? I’ve noticed most people complain that treadmills stop working and the customer service isn’t responsive to fixing it. Is yours still working? Have you had to use customer service for anything? Thanks!
I live in Saskatoon and winter is around the corner now! I don't want to goto the apartments' gym cause of covid. There are parks in the city where I can walk, but I am kind of an anti-social. I am thinking I should get this treadmill and maybe sell it when I have to move and if I can't take it with me. It will definitely be helpful in the winter months!
We have had ours now for some time and it has worked flawlessly. Plus it has gone through a big move (where we moved from Ontario to Nova Scotia). We definitely recommend it
How do you turn it off?
the preset program buttons dont work on mine
Do you still have this treadmill?
I bought the same one but the updated model at dicks sporting goods ! It is the t101-07 model and exclusively at DSGs. Extremely heavy . Very hard to move around cos it doesn’t have 4 wheels on all side . I haven’t yet tested but although I just had it assembled by someone who I hired cos I suck at DIY jobs!
How do you like it so far?
How do you like your new treadmill?
I'm Indonesian and i would like to purchase this treadmill because your review. Last question I'm 128kg. Its good for me?
Id say yes, as you and I weight about the same as each other.
@@gregtoope thanks bro.. i just purchase T7.0 ...

Whats the squeeking?
Just got mine right now and the box is so heavy I don’t know how to put together
It really is a heavy treadmill.
@@gregtoope my son putting it together ,I can’t wait to use it
@@mariemedeiros1756 Enjoy. We love ours!
Are you showing how it unfolds
Looks like a good buy, I'm willing to gamble on the weight capacity I'm currently 350lbs, hopefully it can handle my fat ass until I drop below 300 lbs.
let us know. im about 260 and it handles me fine.
Did you buy it? Did it hold your weight?
Just put mine together and plugged it in and nothing. So disappointed
Whats squeching?
From everything I've gathered about these treadmills, the motor is one of the quietest, the
running deck is ample size and the display is clear and functional. The downside is the
under powered motor (2.25 continuous HP), durability (lack of) and poor customer service.
I was deciding between this and Nordic Track 6.5 S as they're similarly priced but the latter
one wins because it has a bigger motor (2.75 CHP) , bigger rollers and a better reputation
for durability and better customer service. A low powered motor running on higher load
will seriously degrade it's lifespan.
Well I use it 3-4 days a week. With no issues.
I had a horrible experience with horizon that spanned four months of attempting to get customer service for a treadmill that was broken from the day it arrived. Just look at their Facebook comments- it’s filled with people desperate to reach customer service because of their brand new broken treadmills. I lived within their stated service range but they couldn’t get a tech to me so I had a $700 brick. They told me three times they would refund me, it wasn’t until the third request they actually processed the refund.
I spoke with a local repair guy and he said they’re so low quality they won’t buy them to resell in his store. I would never recommend buying from horizon
Did you end up buying something else?
Thank you so much for your comment. Did you end up with a different treadmill?
