Space / Footprint - When the T101 is in use, it is 34” wide, 70” long, and 55” high. It also has a hydraulic system to assist in folding and releasing the treadmill. However, if you have a wide stance or long stride, we would recommend you look for treadmills with a larger running surface, like the C990 or the F63.įolding Capability - The T101 is a slender machine which folds up well. This likely won’t trouble runners under 6’0”. This treadmill has a slightly shorter belt than other Horizon treadmills, with the running surface only measuring 20” wide and 55” long.
The T101 belt has similar tread to the 2-ply belts so you will have secure traction even on this lower ply of belt. A 1-ply belt can be used daily but is not up to more than two users on a daily basis. With a 1-ply belt, the T101 belt can wear out more quickly than a treadmill with a 2-ply belt. Running Area - Unlike many Sole, Proform and NordicTrack treadmills over $800, the T101 does not have a 2-ply running belt. With the smaller motor, the T101 treadmill operates quietly and has a low-profile motor hood that takes up less space than treadmills with large motors. Motor Size - As mentioned before, the 2.25 CHP motor in the T101 is best suited for walkers and minimal-use joggers. Treadmill Best For: Walkers, light joggers.Noise Level: 51 dB to 73 dB (background noise 48 dB when measured).Footprint (folded): 34” W x 46” L x 61” H.Footprint (in use): 34” W x 70” L x 55” H.
For users who need a space-friendly machine, this is a good option. This size of treadmill fits easily into most closets. It folds up into a compact unit when not in use.
Easy interface for all users - While we love the tech-heavy consoles which come with higher-end treadmills, the Horizon T101 proves useful for those looking for a very simplified interface.We find this is a desirable feature for parents looking to workout but not wanting to disturb the rest of their household.
On the plus side, since the motor is small, the T101 is an incredibly quiet treadmill.
However, if you're in need of a cushioned deck for any reason, you may want to consider a more expensive treadmill. Average users will likely notice lessened flexibility but not experience discomfort. The motor size is just large enough to handle jogging but is better suited to less stress.Īlso, the deck of the T101 treadmill is less flexible than others near its price range like the Sole F63 and NordicTrack C990. The T101 was built with walkers in mind and allows for some jogging. The T101 is one of the less expensive treadmills from a popular name brand, priced generally around $700.
