Our verdict
Horizon Fitness suits anyone buying a home machine outright and wants a long warranty without paying a membership. Treadmills start at $899, membership costs $0 a month and the range carries a lifetime warranty, though the catalogue stays cardio only.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Lifetime warranty, which ranks 1 of 44 brands on our data.
- No membership required, and a membership costs $0 a month for anyone who wants one.
- Entry treadmills at $899 backed by a 30 day money back window.
- The featured treadmill folds for storage and comes with a 9.3 inch screen, and handles user weight of 170 kg.
Cons
- The range is cardio only at treadmill, exercise bike and cross trainer, with no rowers, while treadmill, exercise bike and rower and treadmill, exercise bike and rower both list rower and strength lines.
- The store runs in US and CA only, so a buyer outside those markets is not covered by it.
- Entry price of $899 sits at 48 of 71 brands on price from, so cheaper machines sit elsewhere in the ranking.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with live chat not among the channels.
Who it suits
- Buyers in US and CA who want a machine bought outright, with membership at $0 a month only if they choose it.
- People in tight rooms, since the featured treadmill folds and pairs with a 9.3 inch screen.
- Long term owners who put cover above sticker price, given lifetime cover on the range.
Who should look elsewhere
- Rower and strength buyers: treadmill, exercise bike and rower adds rower, strength and home gym ranges that Horizon Fitness does not carry.
- Shoppers who want a rower alongside a cardio machine: treadmill, exercise bike and rower includes rower and strength lines in the same store.
- Buyers building a strength rig rather than cardio kit, since treadmill, exercise bike and rower covers rower, strength and home gym equipment.
Prices
Horizon Fitness sells equipment outright, so what you weigh is an outright machine price rather than a tiered plan. Treadmills are the headline category and start at $899, and the same store carries exercise bikes and cross trainers. The only recurring figure is the membership at $0 a month, so the entry price and the renewal price are the same number and nothing replaces it later. Treat $899 as a floor for the range rather than a typical price, because better specified treadmills sit above it. The practical difference from a subscription gym is that the whole outlay lands at once, which suits anyone who would rather own a machine than pay monthly for access to one.
How it compares on our data
Horizon Fitness ranks 1 of 59 brands on membership month, so the monthly figure is the lowest in the set, and 1 of 44 brands on warranty years, which makes the cover on these machines longer than anything else in the comparison. Entry price is the softer side: at 48 of 71 brands on price from, plenty of cheaper machines sit elsewhere in the ranking. That is the trade to weigh, with monthly cost and warranty at the strong end and sticker price in the middle. Readers who put cover first can overlook the price rank, and readers shopping purely on the lowest ticket should not.
Core features
No membership is required, so the machines are not tied to a subscription and there is nothing to sign up for just to own one. The warranty on the range is lifetime, the standout number here. On the treadmill side, the featured model folds for storage, handles users weighing 170 kg and pairs with a 9.3 inch screen for workout data. Buyers still unsure about size or weight have a 30 day money back window to decide in, which is longer than most people spend on a showroom floor. Shared households also get more from a machine built for that kind of user weight.
The company behind it
Horizon Fitness is a US brand, with the store run by Johnson Health Tech Trading, Inc. out of US. Help runs on email, phone and help centre, so a phone call is one of the routes in alongside email and a help centre, which matters when a fault means explaining a problem over a call rather than a form. Buying from the brand also puts the warranty and the money back window in the hands of the company named on the order rather than a marketplace seller. For readers who like a named manufacturer with a clear home country, those are the points to weigh before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the cheapest Horizon Fitness treadmill?+
Treadmills start at $899, which is the entry figure for the store rather than a sale price. Better specified machines in the same range cost more, so treat it as a floor when you budget. Nothing is added at renewal, because the only recurring figure is the membership at $0 a month.
Does Horizon Fitness charge a membership or subscription fee?+
No membership is required to buy or use the machines, and a membership costs $0 a month for anyone who wants one. That is the only recurring line: you pay for the machine itself, and there is no class pack or content subscription to renew. Compared with a subscription gym, this works out cheaper from the start.
What warranty comes with Horizon Fitness machines?+
The warranty on the range is lifetime, which ranks 1 of 44 brands on our data. Buyers who plan to keep a machine for years, or who share one between two people, get the most from cover of that length.
Can I return a treadmill if it does not suit the space?+
Yes, purchases come with a 30 day money back window, so there is time to measure doorways and rooms before committing. The featured treadmill folds, which makes it easier to store than a fixed frame and matters most in a small room. Undecided buyers can take the full window rather than deciding in a hurry.
Where does Horizon Fitness sell and deliver?+
The store runs in US and CA, and the company behind it is based in the United States. That makes it a North American purchase rather than a global one, so check your own market before ordering. Buying from the brand also means the warranty and the money back window are handled by Johnson Health Tech Trading, Inc. rather than a reseller.
What types of machines does Horizon Fitness make?+
The range covers treadmill, exercise bike and cross trainer. Treadmills are the focus, and the store also lists bikes and cross trainers for anyone who wants something smaller in the room. Rowers, strength kit and home gyms are not part of this catalogue, so a buyer assembling a wider setup would be looking at a different brand.
How do I get help from Horizon Fitness?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can reach the team by email, by phone or through the help centre. A phone call is the route to use when you need to talk through measurements or report a fault on a heavy machine. Chat is not among the listed channels, so plan around email or a call.
Is the Horizon Fitness treadmill easy to store at home?+
The featured model is foldable, and that is the detail that decides whether it suits a flat or a home gym. It handles users weighing 170 kg and pairs with a 9.3 inch screen, so it works for a shared machine as much as a solo one. Buyers in a tight room should still check folded measurements before ordering.
