Horizon Fitness Shock Absorption
Today I’m going to be answering all your questions about Horizon Fitness Air Cell technology. Over the years Horizon has made significant strides in fitness technology. One of their biggest milestones was installing Gel Cell shock absorption systems in Horizon Fitness treadmills a few years back. Like the name implies, Gel Cells were made of a gelatinous material and designed to absorb the shock of a foot hitting the surface of the treadmill.
Horizon’s Gel Cell technology had many implications. First, the deck and frame would be receiving far less abuse from users as most of the impact energy was absorbed by the Gel Cell. Second, and more importantly, less stress would be placed on runners and walkers allowing people to run longer with less pain and energy.
Several years after their groundbreaking shock absorption system, Horizon Fitness is still innovating. Every year they launch an updated Treadmill line with a new look and feel; this year Horizon Fitness has completely overhauled their treadmill line and included a new shock absorption system called Air Cell.
What’s the difference between Air Cell and Gel Cell? Simple, Gel Cells are strictly gelatinous while Air Cells use a mixture of Air and Gel to cushion users from the stress and impact associated with exercise. The difference between Gel and Air Cells is great. The Air Cell shock absorption system absorbs far more energy when your foot impacts the treadmill surface.
