The Horizon Fitness Company has been owned by Johnson Health Technology, which is a Chinese manufacturer, for the past 25 years. It is the same company which owns the majority of Vision Fitness, Matrix Fitness and AFG. The Horizon Fitness Company, which is headquartered in Wisconsin, manufactures products in the Johnson factory in China.
This is the same factory which makes the Vision elliptical trainers. So the two trainers are made in conjunction with each other, not an uncommon practise. Horizon manufactures nine different front drive elliptical trainers which are virtually the same design. They are the fourth largest suppliers of the trainer industry and they have global offices throughout Europe, Asia and North America.
These trainers are sold at Sears and a variety of sporting goods and discount stores such as Dick’s and Sports Authority. The elliptical trainers have self-levelling pedals which provide added comfort to the user and most of the models have built in fans. Some models now come with iPod docking stations as well. The Horizon Fitness Company has received many awards for Best Choice in 2006-07 and it has been featured in many newspapers and magazines in the US. Their product is competitive in price and offers many of the same features as do their competitors.
The front-drive design of the elliptical trainer made by Horizon is easy to access, keeps you properly aligned and reduces stress on your back and shoulders. The space between the pedals, the stride length and the pivotal motion combine to create the most ergonomically correct movements possible.
