Now that summer is basically here, we’re excited to take sunny runs along the road and on the trails, but we also recognize that some days will be too rainy or way too darn hot to get outside for our runs. For those days, we’re going to want a great treadmill to run on—and even better if we can save on it. So, if you happen to be looking for a new treadmill you can save hundreds on, you’ve come to the right place.
On Horizon Fitness’s website, you can nab the brand’s 7.8 AT Treadmill for 26 percent off right now. Though that discount might not sound terribly moving, it actually means you’ll be saving $700. And that’s before you use our discount code. That’s right: When you enter the code RUNNERS100 at checkout, you’ll get to take an additional $100 off the sale price, saving you $800 in total. But it’s only valid through the end of the June, so you’ll want to take advantage of this extra savings while you can.
And trust us, you’ll definitely want to. Runner-in-Chief Jeff Dengate found this model worthy of inclusion in our reviews of the best advanced treadmills, dubbing it the best for virtual classes. “A lot of treadmill makers offer custom training content, and in a way, lock you into their ecosystem,” Dengate wrote in that guide. “But Horizon is trainer-agnostic, even though it wants you to take advantage of the studio-class experience. Its goal with the 7.8 AT is to give you a machine that responds quickly to inputs and lets you choose whichever training program you want to stream—just bring your own iPad—there’s no way to display workouts on this mill’s console.”
Beyond that, Dengate also noted that the treadmill allows you to adjust your music right on its dashboard, and it allows you to switch up your incline and/or speed with dials that are right above the heart rate monitor on the handles.
So, for those who are interested in adding a treadmill to their home gym or are looking to upgrade, we recommend grabbing this Horizon Fitness model while it’s under $2,000.
