Lubrication is never high on the list of people's favorite things about treadmill desking. It holds the possibility to be time consuming, messy, and just generally unpleasant – but it's also necessary for keeping your equipment in good working order. iMovR has produced a more use…
The worst thing you can say about the TR800 is that it isn't the TR1200. This pocket-sized treadmill's bigger brother has cast a long shadow over an otherwise impressive product. On one hand, the TR800 holds a clear advantage over all other budget treadmills we've seen pass throu…

TR1200 is reliable, well-designed, and relatively soft on the wallet—a combination of quality and cost-efficiency that we've found hard to beat. While other treadmills have it beat feature for feature, individuals looking for a basic, low-cost treadmill base that will last for ye…

The ProForm Thinline and Thinline Pro "desk treadmill" models both fall far short of our criteria for a treadmill desk, lacking the office aesthetics, work-surface stability, and ergonomic adjustability, that we expect in this category.

The Rebel treadmill is targeted at the frugal customer who is looking for the lowest cost, smallest footprint solution, while attaining an attractive look that veers away from the “gym equipment” color scheme of traditional treadmills. The rub is that achieving a lower retail pr…
A good under-treadmill mat will pay dividends by reducing noise, vibration and dust collection in the innards of your treadmill, while protecting the floors from damage. The best mats will be a quarter-inch (6 mm) thick, made of 100% recycled rubber in the USA, and properly sized…

Like a car, bicycle, lawn mower, or any mechanical device caution must be taken in buying a used item, and standing desks are no exception.

Boost the price, boost the quality. Durability on this machine is excellent compared to the Stamina products. And it’s designed specifically for use while sitting. It boasts one of the lowest pedal height rotations in the market, so you’re less likely to hit your knees on the bot…
In 2012 alone, 1,300 peer-reviewed studies were published linking sedentariness with heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other negative health effects. Most sufferers of sitting disease also have poor ergonomic setups when they are at their computers.
