Questions and Answers
1.Does it show you calories burned, distance ran etc?
Yes, it shows calories burned, distance and time. You have choices to choose, one is one more calories based and distance based. If you choose the manual program, you can track both. It really works well.
2. What is the difference between Horizon Fitness T101, 202 and T303 Treadmill?
Of course the price is different, the main difference is the Motor .T101 have Continous- 2:25 Duty Horse Power 202 and T303 motor but has a 2.5 Continous- Horse Power Duty motor. This makes the T101 is ideal for walking and light jogging, while 202 and T303 is suitable for running on a regular basis. T303 has a Heavy Duty Folding Frame With Extra Stability Bar , which means T303 is more stable compared to T101 and T202. If you are a great runner and you gonna run every day on the treadmill, the T303 model is good for you. T101 model has incline up to 10% while 202 and T303 has up to 12% incline.

For beginners only and is suitable for runners who seldom ran.

My Final Verdict
Actually, if you look in detail, T101 and T202 are priced at $ 799, if you want to buy, please get T202, you will not regret as the price is the same as T101 , but T202 has more advantages. But I most recommend that you choose T303 because it is suitable for outdoor activities. The price difference between the T202 danT303 only $ 200.For 6 years I've spent time using a wide range of treadmill, this is the first time I see that there is a treadmill with built-in fan in the motor space, aims to provide maximum ventilation. So make the right choice, choose the treadmill that suits you. By using the treadmill , you do not have to jog outside, you can seat in your home while watching TV. Saving you petrol. You'll no longer need to go to the gymnasium, you'll no longer need to go to the park. At the same time you can educate your children for jogging with you. I was a fan of the treadmill, and an assortment of treadmills I've tried and characteristics of a good treadmill is a very powerful, strong motor, a cooling system such as a built-in fan, the design is stable, runs an extensive space, audio system is great, can be moved to anywhere. Choose a treadmill that has a long warranty period. You do not mind paying more for the satisfaction and your exercise goals. However, choosing this treadmill depends on your financial capabilities, the space available in your home, and the way you run, if you rarely ran, choose T101 , if you always ran in a long period , choose T202 and T303. As I already explained above, the difference between T202 and T303 are only the number of existing programs and Heavy-Duty Folding Frame With Extra Stability Bar. If you are US citizens, the treadmill will be sent to your address, and do not forget, shipping is next door to your house, not into the house, you can discuss the matter with the courier company, whether you have to pay more or just ask for help to lift it into the house, and gave him a few bucks. Lastly, my final verdict, I choose T202, because it is cheap, best seller on Amazon, according to the pattern of exercise, because we are not athletes who need a high-powered treadmill. I select the T202 ... ...
