Conclusions for Horizon CT83 Treadmill Review

The Horizon CT 83 is a better version of the Horizon CT 81 and comes with a more powerful motor, plus a longer belt. This model has also more workout programs and a much friendlier console.

The machine is heavy so you will probably need some help when assembling it. However, after being fully assembled, you can easily fold and move it around.

We like that Horizon considered the comfort of the runners and mounted an mp3&sound system. We also appreciate the Vortex fan.

Overall it’s a good qualitative machine that gives you some space to move while working out and some nice features to entertain the boredom of running in place. Still, we recommend to heavy runners choosing a machine with a more powerful motor. We consider the Horizon CT83 Treadmill to fully satisfy any regular home user.
