Horizon Evolve SG Compact Treadmill

I bought this treadmill not knowing if I was making the right choice but I am very very happy with it so far. I have been using the weight loss program for a month every day and it gives me a great workout in 30 minutes. I love that I don't have to leave my home to go get my excerise. I had to put it on the second floor of my home which was a challenge but my husband and I got it moved with a little grunting. Once it was up there I have no probelm moving it around and it is very compact. Now I just hope it lasts me with no problems as I plan on using it daily. It could be interesting to get it repired if I need to. Any advice if future repairs are needed?

I specifically wanted a fold up unit so if I need the space where this is, it could be made. To be able to pull this out of the box, plug it in and go was a real treat! It is better than I expected.

The treadmill is very good, sturdy, easy to operate. As it comes already assembled, you can use it right out of the box. One thing that is not up to the other qualities of the item is the thumb heart beat sensor. If you need to monitor your heart beat during exercise, buy a separate monitor, for the one in the treadmill is almost useless. The other not so good thing is the amplifier. It should be better grounded, to prevent damage to your player when you touch it during exercise. In the winter time, static electricity builds up while you use the treadmill, and the eventual discharge may damage your player. My iPod had to be re-booted for it froze after a static discharge. Summing up, the Evolve treadmill deserves 4 stars.

Very easy to assemble and store. I use it every day for walking and running and find it very condusive to all of my workouts.

This is truly an outstanding product. I took less than five minutes to turn it on, no need to do anything other than taking it out of the box, open it and plug it in the outlet.

I use it to walk fast while reading or browsing the web. It is very stable and silent. So far, so good - the quality of the product looks much higher than treadmills twice as expensive. Not sure if it is good for running (I am not a runner...), but definitely the ideal product for a walker. I also have a long stride, despite its compact size it fits perfectly my exercise patterns.

It is also very easy to fold and unfold, just a little harder to get around (it is a bit heavy, the small wheels definitely allow for portability, but you require some effort to carry it around)The folded profile is quiet small. The look is very trendy - nobody complaints at home if visits take a look to it while unfolded in the middle of the living room, as in the manufacturer's you tube video... A much better value than several treadmills that I tried at sport stores and gyms.

Probably the best item I have bought in amazon, other than terrific books! My only minor complaint is that the free delivery took a long time (two weeks), but it was timely delivered once they called.
