Horizon Fitness T81 Treadmill Review

The Horizon T81 Treadmill is the base unit in Horizon’s Treadmill line. If you’re looking for an inexpensive treadmill at a great price the Horizon T81 treadmill is right up your alley. Don’t worry, Horizon hasn’t skimped on any of the necessities, it’s still equipped with Horizon’s legendary Air Cell technology that reduces stress on joints and helps users exercise harder, longer. The only thing you might notice, and only if you’re a serious runner is a small decline in running speed. Other than that, the Horizon T81 is an excellent treadmill with plenty of features to keep you motivated and reaching your fitness goals.
