Conclusions

The Horizon GS1040T Treadmill presents itself with a very attractive design and overall it promises quality. Once you test you you can see that it’s not far from its goal. The model incorporates enough fitness tools for a home user. Plus it comes with a sound system and built-in fan (but we wonder why they bother to add these fans if they don’t have enough power anyway..).

This machine is in the low position of midrange class. That means you receive a good value for the money paid, it fully satisfies a home trainer but at the same time it doesn’t do wonders.

The GS1040T has a nice design, a powerful motor and a spacious belt. But if you plann intensive use or long running sessions you should look for other models or brands.

Overall, we consider the Horizon GS1040T Treadmill a good machine for a home gym. Still, don’t expect too much from it.
