Challenge
InForm’s first involvement with Horizon was to assist them on a fast track program to create a new treadmill design, with production databases to be delivered to their overseas manufacturing unit in less than 30 days.
Result
Specific user needs were targeted and the solutions that were implemented included: programmable controls, high-visibility graphics, backlit LED displays, accessory storage compartments, a large running deck and an increase in maximum user weight capacity. InForm also incorporated the “cockpit” console style that has become the signature for Horizon Treadmills. Efficient configuration of multiple models was accomplished through a modular platform design.
