After having the Horizon 7.8 AT for over 3 years, we wanted to update you on how it is working. After regular use, this treadmill is still well-constructed and quiet. It has been on our best treadmills list for the past few years and rightfully so.
We consider the Horizon 7.8 AT to be the best treadmill for HIIT Training. The quick-adjusting 4.0 HP motor, roller adjustments, and Sprint 8 programming make it convenient for interval training.
This is a folding treadmill, but it’s large and heavy so it’s best kept in a designated spot. If you’re looking for a well-priced premium treadmill with straightforward workouts and a simple design, we can’t recommend the Horizon 7.8 AT enough.

Hi, I'm enjoying my Horizon too, but want to start programming my own custom programs. I can find the custom setting and program in time incline and speed for segments, but I simply cant work out how to then save the program I've made to use again later. I want to program my own interval aets. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?🤔

Just purchased and while quiet at walking speed once running the treadmill has a little more noise like the belt or a cushion feature is maybe misaligned. We called the place where we purchased from and they said it’s because the belt hasn’t fully molded to the rollers and that with use it will get better. Does this sound right?

I am currently on the fence between the Horizon 7.8 and the Sole F85. When you say that the 7.8 adjusts quickly, (19 seconds from 1 to 12 mph) how does that compare to the Sole?

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

Both machines are great! Horizon has some of the fastest speed adjustments of any treadmill on the market which makes them great for HIIT training. Compared to the Sole F85, the Sole F85 takes about 41 seconds to go from 1-12 mph which doesn't make it a great fit for quick intervals. Both treadmills are great but Sole is just a bit slower at the speed adjustments. Let us know if you have any other questions, thanks!

[@deetee2730]

Super timely video! I’m also deciding between the 7.8 and Sole F85. The one thing that is enticing about the F85 is the ability to decline. I really wonder if the decline feature is worth losing out on the faster speed transitions the 7.8 has.

[@joannemarkov]

@@deetee2730 I've had the same thought. Especially since the transition won't be from 1 to 12, but more like 5 to 8, so the total time difference won't be as huge.

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

@@joannemarkov @deetee2730 You're right, the F85 adjusts a little more quickly between speeds that are closer together. I think if you want to do downhill training, the F85 is the way to go. It is definitely still a treadmill that you can do intervals on. If you know you won't use the decline and just want to do interval training then I would go with the 7.8 AT. Let us know if you guys have any more questions!

[@deetee2730]

@@joannemarkov Agreed. The decline feature will be nice. Only other call out is price. The F85 is $400-$500 more and since the tech/larger screen isn’t a huge selling point for me, it’s starting to feel as though that’s the premium I’ll be paying to get the decline function.

For someone that is under 150lbs, running about 30 miles a week on a treadmill training for a marathon, would you recommend the 7.8 or 7.4?

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

We have only used the 7.8, so I can only speak to our experience using that treadmill for the past 3 years. The 7.8 can handle that well. The 7.4 has a lot of similarities to the 7.8, so it should handle that kind of use just fine, too. Both motors are designed to handle that kind of training.

[@deetee2730]

@@TreadmillReviewGuru thanks! Yeah, I was unsure if the higher weight capacity and motor size would materially change things for me.

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

@@deetee2730 They shouldn't really. Either treadmill should work well for you.
