Running doesn't have to be a chore; well, with a few tweaks here and there at least. Although the thought of exercising for hours at a time might not seem the most appealing at first, Horizon has designed their T7.1 treadmill to balance entertainment with powerful performance that's ideal for long runs.

Intelligent Tread Sensor
Let's start at the moment you step on. Thanks to pressure sensors that have been built into the belt, as soon as you walk on the treadmill, it'll automatically wake up the console so you're ready to go. Plus it'll automatically stop once you've finished.

Supportive Welded Frame
Built with a heavy-gauge steel frame and thick orthopaedic belt to provide a stable, natural run, you'll have no problems feeling sure-footed as the miles start to build up. In the race of man Vs. machine, we wouldn't recommend testing if you can outrun the machine; it's fair to say you'll probably lose this one.

Variable Response Cushioning
Ergonomic design doesn't just relate to endurance either. Horizon has fitted the T7.1 with a three-zone variable cushioning system that provides the right amount of support during each phase of your stride. It's a more natural feeling that mirrors the feeling of road running (but given the tepid British weather, who would ever want to go outside)?

Functional Power Drive System
Thanks to the responsiveness of the Johnson Drive System, you'll never feel a lag or surge as the digital re-calibration function matches your foot-falls as you go. Plus, the low-RPM operation also keeps the motor cool and quiet, which extends the life of your treadmill and means you can catch up on missed TV with ease.

Bluetooth Enabled
Don't worry about untangling headphones here. Bluetooth offers seamless connectivity for streaming music, podcasts and videos from your mobile device. And you can link it up with heart rate devices if you want to focus on heart-rate training rather than finding out who was in the bottom two on Strictly.

Passport Ready
Why not take a vacation from your everyday workout with the Passport Media Player, which displays stunning forward-motion footage on your television and syncs it with your equipment for an immersive exercise experience. Ideal if you're not one to ever miss out on live TV!

ViewFit Connectivity
With ViewFit, you’ll never have to manually enter your workouts anywhere because your machine will do it for you. Simply visit viewfit.com or download the app to connect your equipment, track your efforts and set your goals.

FeatherLight Folding
Horizon's one-step hydraulic system does all the heavy lifting as it gently lowers your treadmill deck when you’re ready to use it and effortlessly raises it when you’re done.
