Ever have the ambition to climb a mountain, but struggle to find the time (or mountain) to do it? The Mountain Climb program found on select Horizon Series treadmills makes this feat more obtainable.

Designed to simulate climbing a hill, this program automatically varies the incline in set intervals. You choose the level, speed and workout duration to create the fitness experience that is right for you.

Each level has five segments of increasing incline, followed by five segments of decreasing incline. The level determines the maximum percentage of incline that is achieved during the program; the higher the level, the higher the percent. For example, level 1 introduces the program at a maximum incline of 3%, compared to level 12 that pushes you to climb a maximum incline of 9.5%. With a 12 levels to choose from, you can progress at your own pace.
