Treadmill Review

Last Updated: April 29, 2022

An affordable yet sturdy treadmill, the Horizon 7.0 AT is a new treadmill put out by Horizon this year. It fills a niche spot, above the budget treadmills like the Horizon T101 and improved T202 while still being affordably priced. At this pricing, the 7.0 AT competes with other top reviewed treadmills just under $1,000, where there is a lot of competition. However, the 7.0 AT holds its own as a well-built treadmill with solid features such as a 350 lbs weight capacity, 0% to 15% incline range, and Bluetooth syncing. While it does fall short on some features, like the 7.0 AT has no touchscreen, limited training app, and a small fan, it still may be a treadmill you want to consider depending on your needs.

Price

While sometimes the price can fluctuate up and down, the 7.0 AT is often priced at $999.

The 7.0 AT Is Built For Users who:

  • Need a high weight capacity treadmill - Uncommon among affordable and budget treadmills, the 7.0 AT can accommodate a user who weighs up to 350 lbs.
  • Want to walk or jog regularly - With the strong 3.0 CHP motor inside it, the 7.0 AT is suitable for those users who want to walk or jog on a regular basis.
  • Prefer simple treadmill interfaces - If you prefer a treadmill without a lot going on, then the 7.0 AT is a good one for you. It has a clean, well-labeled interface that is easy to navigate.


Why The 7.0 AT earned 3.9 stars

While the 7.0 AT is a good treadmill, it can only earn a certain ranking when compared to other treadmills in its price range.
  • Well-built treadmill while remaining affordable - The 7.0 AT is an affordable treadmill, generally well-priced under $1,000. Its affordable pricing does not mean it isn’t well-built when in reality, the 7.0 AT is a sturdy machine.
  • Good motor which runs quietly - With a 3.0 CHP motor, the 7.0 AT runs smoothly when in use but remains fairly quiet, with a low humming which can be easily ignored.
  • Lacks some features on other similarly priced treadmills - Much like the SOLE F63, the 7.0 AT is a relatively simple treadmill when it comes to tech, with no touchscreen and a limited training app.
Overall, we here at Treadmill Reviews were impressed with the Horizon 7.0 AT and feel like Horizon is going in the right direction developing good quality treadmills like this one.

Weight Capacity - Exceptional for an affordable treadmill, the 7.0 AT can accommodate a user who weighs up to 350 lbs.
Folding  - Made to fold easily with a hydraulic system built into it, the 7.0 AT can have its deck folded up without a problem. You can also release it by pressing a lever and allow it to descend without you holding it.
Space / Footprint -  When folded up, the 7.0 AT measure 36” wide, 41” long, and 70” tall, which is similar to other treadmills in its price range. As for its measurements in use, the 7.0 AT is 36” wide, 76.5” long, and 59” tall.
Max Speed - The max speed of the 7.0 AT is 12 MPH, though it is best not to push this treadmill too often at this speed.

  • Heart Rate Monitoring: Handlebar pulse grips
  • USB port: Yes
  • Audio Jack: No

Build Quality - 8/10

7.0 AT Review: Build Quality
  • Warranties - Lifetime frame and motor coverage, 3-year on parts and cushioning, 1-year labor coverage
  • Belt - 2-ply, 1.6mm
  • Roller Size - Front/Back 60mm/46mm
  • Cushioning - 3-Zone Variable Cushioning
  • Customer Support - Email and phone
  • Return Policy - 30-day guarantee


With a somewhat thicker metal frame than the Horizon T-series, the 7.0 AT treadmill can allow more heavy exercise than those more affordable machines. It does make this treadmill a heavier machine, weighing 253 lbs, which makes it a tougher machine, if not a little harder to move around. The plastic casing around the frame is a little thin and can become chipped if you aren’t careful when moving it or working out in your home gym. But overall, the 7.0 AT is a sturdy, affordable treadmill. Horizon has a standard return policy for all their equipment, allowing you to use your machine for 30 days. If you choose during the return window time to send back your equipment, you will need to contact Horizon customer support. They will issue you a return authorization number and refund your account once the machine has been received, though Horizon will keep back funds to cover the assembly and shipping costs.

Bottom Line Review Of The Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill

The 7.0 AT is a nice balance between sturdy build, engaging features, and price. While it is not a running treadmill, the 7.0 AT will be a great choice for users who want to walk and lightly jog, especially if they need a higher weight capacity treadmill.

Best Place To Buy The Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill
