This is our first LiveStrong Treadmill Review. We were so excited to test it after hearing so many good things about it.

After the first test, what surprised us a lot was the strong resemblance to Horizon Treadmills. Although LiveStrong treadmills have improved features than Horizon versions, we noticed from the start the same components quality. Even the workouts are similar.

It turns out we were right. Horizon and LiveStrong are manufactured by the same company, Johnson.

LiveStrong appeared on the market in December 2009. This is a relatively new brand but having Johnson technology behind them, their features are competitive.

LS9.9T is a $1,000 treadmill. We had the opportunity to test other $1,000 treadmills but this one is better. It’s not the best and still has minuses, but it offers good quality for the price paid.

Read our conclusion for more details.
