Our Remarks
The Horizon ex-59 comes with more workout programs and entertainment features than its preceding model. But still, it does not include any customizable options. The manufacturer did not introduce any major change in its design when it comes to the frame, motor or stride. The Horizon ex-59 offers the best value to trainees who are not too bulky and have shorter strides.
The model’s two-year parts warranty is impressive considering its selling price of $699. The Horizon ex-59 is designed in such way that its step-on height to the handles to the pedal spacing is engineered so that you feel good strides after strides. The trainer has a high popularity among consumers because it is easy to use, low impact and its quiet performance. So, if you are directing the eyes for entry to a mid-level trainer that is affordable and reliable the Horizon ex-59 is a good choice.
