Reviewer verdict

Across 13 YouTube reviews, the Horizon Fitness Horizon 7.8 AT earns a Summa score of 4.3/5, ranking #33 among Treadmills. Reviewers most often praise its features, comfort, performance, while the most common criticisms concern features, durability.

The Horizon 7.8 AT is widely praised for its feature set and user-friendly controls, with many reviewers (45 mentions) highlighting quick dial speed/incline controls, multiple device holders, USB/rapid-charge ports, and built-in Sprint 8 HIIT programming and heart rate options. Reviewers frequently note strong performance and power (about 25 mentions) — responsive motors and fast speed/incline changes up to 12 mph and 15% incline are called out repeatedly. Comfort and deck size are also a common positive (25 mentions), with a roomy 22 x 60 inch running surface and a three-zone cushioning system that many find comfortable for running and walking. Additional common compliments include solid build and high weight capacity, good tech integration with Bluetooth and app compatibility, and a stronger-than-expected value relative to its feature set and warranty coverage.

Criticisms are less frequent but consistent: several reviewers (8 mentions) point out limited onboard workout programming, a non-interactive/smaller display compared with the latest touchscreens, and that a tablet is required for larger interactive experiences. Durability and vibration issues were noted by multiple reviewers (7 mentions), such as tablet bounce at higher speeds, occasional belt slipping, and some plastic components. A handful of reviewers also found the console/Bluetooth connectivity and speaker volume could be improved, and the unit’s large folded footprint and heavy delivered weight make placement and moving more difficult.

The big things here that I chose this for is the fact that one thing above all else, these two quick dials. They have a little patented name for them, but basically you just quickly slide them up or down and it adjusts on the left the incline ... on the right the speed. The fact I can just press a button and it changes immediately to that speed or press a button and it changes immediately to that incline. Literally just one button press. ▶ 2 Years Later: My Long Term Review of the $1000 Horizon 7.0 @ 1:50
this is perfect for simulating some good good hiking, which is exactly what I did. ▶ 2 Years Later: My Long Term Review of the $1000 Horizon 7.0 @ 3:39
One other thing I actually like to do on this incline, especially in our new modern society where we're all prehabbing rehabbing flip around, knees over toes. So, this like decline walking both for strengthening your quads and again that like eccentric loading on all your different knee musculature. This has actually really helped. ▶ 2 Years Later: My Long Term Review of the $1000 Horizon 7.0 @ 4:13

One thing I will say is when you do get running, if you're like running anywhere over 7 8 miles an hour, your tablet is kind of bouncing all over the place because you're bouncing on the deck and the deck has this attached to it. ▶ 2 Years Later: My Long Term Review of the $1000 Horizon 7.0 @ 6:06
rollers could be larger ▶ HORIZON FITNESS 7.8 AT TREADMILL REVIEW [2023] BEST TREADMIL @ 2:29
households with multiple Runners might want to look at the 7.8 ▶ Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review @ 3:31
I did have issues when I first came in that the belt was uh sliding even after it was installed ▶ Horizon Treadmill 750 mile Review @ 7:32
another issue here with the runaway belt, an issue with kind of gravity ▶ Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT Treadmill Review @ 3:18
so much plastic up here ▶ Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT Treadmill Review @ 0:53
need to fix that that is a design flaw and apparently it exists through all of Horizon at least that we've tested out here ▶ Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT Treadmill Review @ 7:19

Tech Integration (6)

It also has Bluetooth and Bluetooth speakers built in here so you can listen to music. But again, when you're running and you put this on Bluetooth, you can barely hear it. ▶ 2 Years Later: My Long Term Review of the $1000 Horizon 7.0 @ 5:05
can't pair your heart rate monitor and an app to the treadmill at the same time because the console has to be in a different mode for each connection option ▶ Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review @ 8:02
a few improvements could be made on the heart rate connectivity ▶ Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review @ 11:06
volume was loud enough for me to hear fine when I was running but I had to turn it all the way up I wish it went a little bit louder ▶ Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review @ 6:35
process for connecting some devices is a little tricky ▶ Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review @ 5:57
console isn't tech advanced like other treadmills ▶ Top 17: Best Treadmills for Home use in 2021 | Budget & Fol @ 3:37

Comfort (5)

there's actually a fan built in that very very minimally kicks out air in your face. I don't really use that. It's literally like someone blowing through a straw about a foot away from you. Not really helpful or a feature that I consider useful. ▶ 2 Years Later: My Long Term Review of the $1000 Horizon 7.0 @ 4:47
isn't the prettiest treadmill ▶ Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review @ 1:40
just because it's hard to get to over here because you got to go through the wheel ▶ Horizon Treadmill 750 mile Review @ 8:16
fan it just doesn't do much ▶ Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review @ 6:58
I've never used as well again cuz I just use the wheel it's too hard to reach over here ▶ Horizon Treadmill 750 mile Review @ 8:30

Performance (5)

You can't do sprinting on here ... if you want to do sprints, pretty much most treadmills are out of bounds unless you get a really, really, really expensive commercial treadmill. All of these more budget friendly home oriented versions simply just don't go that fast. ▶ 2 Years Later: My Long Term Review of the $1000 Horizon 7.0 @ 3:07
no decline ▶ Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review @ 4:22
marathon runners might want to consider upgrading to the 7.8 if they're doing all their running indoors ▶ Horizon 7.0 AT Treadmill Review @ 3:25
the incline pour ▶ Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT Treadmill Review @ 6:06
no way I can walk on this treadmill at full elevation uh at full incline it won't work ▶ Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT Treadmill Review @ 4:00

Footprint (4)

Weighs 390 pounds when delivered ▶ HORIZON FITNESS 7.8 AT TREADMILL REVIEW [2023] BEST TREADMIL @ 8:42
Very heavy ▶ HORIZON FITNESS 7.8 AT TREADMILL REVIEW [2023] BEST TREADMIL @ 4:31
heavier so it's better to choose a place where you won't make any changes in near future ▶ Best Treadmill 2022 | Latest 2022 | Top 5 Treadmills @ 4:29
folds up but it's pretty big, not nice and compact ▶ Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT Treadmill Review @ 6:14

Value (3)

doesn't come with a tablet or pad and you do have if you have live classes you do have to pay for those uh but that's the same with any type of uh virtual machine ▶ Horizon 7 Treadmill Review @ 5:19
very disappointed in that because again at a $2,000 price point we really shouldn't have that issue ▶ Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT Treadmill Review @ 4:37
for $2,000 I I've seen other treadmills that perform much better they're they're more compact they're much smaller ▶ Horizon Fitness 7.8 AT Treadmill Review @ 6:54
