Customer Reviews for Horizon CT5.3 Treadmill

Horizon CT5.3 Treadmill

CT5.3 treadmill uses PerfectFLEXâ„¢ Plus variable cushioning system to lessen the impact to your body as you run. It also made with a large, heavy frame that is stable during the most intense exercise sessions. Heart rate grip also allows you to easily track your hearts progression as you intensify you workout. Horizon treadmills offer reliable, long-lasting components and workout-enhancing features to ensure you get more enjoyment, and results, in your workout. Hydraulic lift assist provides safe, convenient storage of your treadmill. Hydraulic shocks help make folding and unfolding the unit easier. Treadmill uses a 2.25 CHP motor that is powerful, yet so quiet that you can listen to a TV or radio at normal listening levels. Continuous horse power is a more accurate measurement of a treadmill's performance, as it maintains this specific horsepower over an extended period of time.

Honestly the best thing I've ever bought anywhere

Date:February 13, 2013
"I cannot possibly say enough good things about this product. I bought it in 2011 and it has worked flawlessly without error since the day I opened the box. I'm a big dude (6' 220) and I've run about 30 miles a week for two years on it. If I haven't broken the frame yet with the workload I pound out on it, I don't know if its possible. It never has made a sound or failed in any way shape or form. Easily worth 2000 bucks, but seems like its always on sale for 500-700"

Belt Failure Otherwise good

Date:January 5, 2013
"Bought this unit on sale. don't remember the price but it seemed fair at the time. This unit performed flawlessly. Then there was an error code and the motor stopped turning. error code was a motor overheat problem. called the tech support line and they were very helpful. got the parts in a week or so at no charge. Installed the new belt myself due to living in a remote area with no service.
My conclusion is belt failure may be due to lack of lube when assembled at the factory. We lubed it according to the schedule and with the supplied silicone lube. I would buy an extended warranty on it next time.

Great for the money

Date:November 25, 2012
"Purchased this on sale at $549.99, it works great, the only minor problem with it was the assembly. Make sure all bolts are tight before you move on to the next step, or you will have to go back before all the parts fit together correctly.
Over all it is a great product, and works very well.

helps you to stay active

Date:March 25, 2012
"This tread mill is very nice, and easy to use. It does not take up that much space as it can be easily folded, and kept in the corner after use. It has wheels under it so it is easy to move around. The product displays the time, and how much you have walked in miles. There is huge range of speed, which could be set depending on your choice. It is a useful product to have in the household to stay active during winter, or if you cannot go out to jog or walk."

Great for the money!

Date:February 2, 2012
"I purchased this treadmill a couple of weeks ago for $599.99 which is a great price for such a high quality treadmill.
The only problem I noticed was with the electronic display when I press the 'stop' button. On the display, it's supposed to display the word 'stop', but the letter 't' in the word was distorted and doesn't display properly.
I'm not sure what the problem is, if anyone else has this problem please let me know."

awesome purchase

Date:January 26, 2012
"$599! 70% off! With this type of discount, I had to buy this machine and I'm happy I did! Very heavy unit so ensure you have help (2 or 3 people) to get it in the house. Set up took probably around an hour or so, but it works like a charm! It's not too loud, the features are terrific and I dare say that I like it better then the ones I use at the gym! Speed and incline can be changed with a quick press of a key, built in speakers and fan are a nice bonus. Definitely worth the $ if you're in the market for a piece of fitness equipment."

Great Treadmill!

Date:January 22, 2012
"This treadmill is fantastic! I purchased it several days ago and have no issues as yet. After doing a lot of research on the different makes and models I decided I wanted this one based on the interval programs, the strong motor, the warranty, the mp3/ipod/iphone connector and speakers. The motor is very quiet, you can hardly hear it running. The deck could use a little more bounce but is pretty good. I thought at first looking at the specs that is would be too small and yes it is smaller than a gym treadmill but it really makes no difference. The speakers are great, my songs sound very clear. The heart rate monitor is good but you have to hold the monitors for about 30-45 seconds to get an accurate reading. The fan is not great and if I had to say anything bad it would be that. It is not nearly powerful enough, if I had to do it again I would buy a model that had everything but the fan. The fan is the reason I have given it a 4 for quality and performance. It is very easy to put together. I did in fact buy the floor model but ended up taking it apart to get it down to the basement and so had to take it apart and reassemble! I had a rough time getting the deck part down the basement stairs and it got banged around a lot as it basically slid down the stairs but it is tough enough to take it. I was worried that something might have come disconnected or damaged during that but no issues. If it can take that then it will probably last forever! If you are doing your homework don't be taken in by more expensive models that have the USP port so that you can download info to your computer. That seems to be a big problem with a lot of models and in my opinion probably not worth the hassle. It's one of those techie things that sounds good but difficult to get fixed if something goes wrong. That was on the model I was originally going to buy but CT was out of stock. I'm just as glad because I am very pleased with this model and it was a great price. I got it at 70% off in January 2012."

Great Treadmill..once you get it into your house:)

Date:December 28, 2011
"We picked up this treadmill on boxing day and some how got it home in our small car with the help of a guy who worked at Canadian Tire. My husband and I tried to lift it out of the car to bring it inside...and we just couldn't do it! Luckily a couple walking in the neighborhood saw us struggling with this beast and helped us bring it inside (got to love random acts of kindness!). The box must weigh over 300 pounds! When we finally got it downstairs my husband took about an hour to set it up and soon it was ready to go:) I run often and I am used to using treadmills at the gym, so I was skeptical about this treadmill and questioned how sturdy it would be. After running on it for an hour I can honestly say it had a comparable feel to the treadmills at the gym. Very impressed!!! I love the 'quick keys' on it...you just press the number representing the speed you want and it instantly goes to that speed. I would defiantly recommend this treadmill:) Happy running!"

Worth the price

Date:December 26, 2011
"Bought this on sale for 599.99 This is a very quiet treadmill with many features, (too many for me) Assembly is quit easy only a few pieces to add to this unit. The console is a bit tricky make sure you only do one side at a time and let the other side just sit loose otherwise the bolts will not aline properly. My only issue was lubricating the unit for the first time throws the belt way off. You need to loosen the belt to lubricate it and that makes the factory adjustments off. Assembly took me 1 hour but re-adjusting the belt took patience. I live in a highrise apartment building and this unit at 4.5 mph is very quiet without a rubber mat (I will get one anyways) My downstairs neighbor won't hear a thing. So far I am happy with this purchase."
