Horizon Evolve SG Compact treadmill

Before I begin with today’s post, I will take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous 2009. I am sure most of us have made resolutions we plan to stick to. To make it easier for you to stick to your physical fitness resolutions through tough economic times and weather, we bring to you reviews of portable, foldable and economic treadmills. The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is one such treadmill.

The Pluses:

  • One of the most compact foldable treadmills I have seen in the market – It folds flat to only 10” – easy to store under beds.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill can also be made to stand folded and upright against a wall or in the closet – real ease in storage.
  • It weighs just 45 kilos or 99 lbs and comes with wheel attachments – talk about portability!
  • The Set-Up is as easy as 1-2-3 and it arrives fully assembled.
  • It provides convenient built-in speakers for MP3 usage.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill comes with a lifetime warranty on frame, 5 years on motor and a year of warranty on parts and labour.
  • Keeping with the foldable range of treadmills, Many companies are giving customers up until the 10th or 15th of the month to pay their first premium. the Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill offers 2 programs – Weight Loss and Manual and the display shows the time, speed, distance, calories burnt etc.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is priced at USD 599.

The Minuses:

  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill, because of its light weight, is not a very stable machine.
  • Due to the same reason, it also has a limited user load capacity of 250 kilos.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is more suited for walking and light jogging than for running or any other heavy-duty treadmill workouts.
  • As the belt is a compact 17” (W) x 45” (L), its compactness allows easy workout by those under 5’8” in height.
  • Belt cushioning is at bare minimum levels.
  • The Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill has a 1.5 continuous drive HP motor.

My Take:

If you are serious about treadmill workouts and do moderate to high intensity workout son it such as running etc or are tall and consequently have longer strides, the Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is not for you. I am of the personal opinion that any treadmill’s rating scale is dependent on its belt cushioning, stability, program features, motor strength and price. Except for pricing, this treadmill does not measure up. However, if you are a just-begun or your part of the world experiences harsher weather conditions keeping you at home, the Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill is perfect for you. The price at USD is unparalled as is the warranty and storability.

Rating: 3 stars out of 5.

Sole F85 Treadmill

Is the Sole F85 Treadmill it worth it? It all depends on your workout needs.  The Sole F85 Treadmill is considered one of the most powerful folding runners treadmill available in the industry today.  This product has a 3.5 HP with a duty motor that’s unremitting.  The speed controls are conveniently located on the arm rests and the speed levels go up to 12 mph and inclines up to 15%.

If you have a limited amount of space in your home or office for a treadmill, you would obviously benefit from using a folding treadmill.  Many have argued if whether or not folding treadmills are less durable than non-folding treadmills – this is simply not the case with this product. (more…)

If you are looking to get fit but you’re on a tight budget, the Phoenix 98516 Easy Up Manual Treadmill is definitely the way to go. It may not have all the fancy perks that the pricier treadmills have, but it gets the job done and you don’t have to mortgage the house in order to afford it.

The treadmill is powered by foot power – not a motor. This is actually an advantage if you think about it. You control the workout with your stride. If you want to kick it up a notch, walk or jog faster, the same goes for slowing it down. You don’t have to push a serious of annoying buttons. (more…)

Nautilus Sports Series T5.18 LE-X Treadmill

Nautilus Sports Series T5.18 LE-X Treadmill

Serious joggers and runners are often confronted with the wall of knee, shin, ankle and ligament injuries that running presents. Though the concrete surface is probably one of the harshest surface for your joints, outdoor running (on trails etc) works and engages the different muscle groups that jogging tracks, pavements and treadmills do not provide. One of the two problems is taken care of by the Nautilus Sports Series T5.18 Le-X Treadmill. (more…)
