Treadmill desks can come as integrated treadmill-plus-desk units or as mix-and-max setups that allow you to pair an office treadmill with the adjustable-height desk of your choice. Our expert review staff has reviewed them all, and in this comprehensive comparison review give you…
While the jury-rigged DIY treadmill desk may have been the best option in the past for someone with a running treadmill just collecting dust in the attic, and possessing of good garage workshop hacking skills, the office fitness industry has now caught up with demand by offering …
Two very popular new fitness aids, the treadmill desk and the desk cycle, have burst onto the scene in recent years, and we often get asked the question of which one is better. Both have their primary areas of benefit and their drawbacks. Let's explore.
The first question is will you need an adjustable-height desk or will a fixed-height desk do the job? In other words will you be the only user or will this treadmill desk be shared by two or more people (not counting identical twins)?
Much more than just another "retread" of a piece of gym equipment, the upcoming ThermoTread GT Treadmill Desk is designed from the ground up for today's offices. It's equipped with a smooth belt, a quiet motor, and an elegant touch screen controller. As the world's first smart tr…
You can't know everything about how a treadmill has been used (or abused) in the past, but you can at least see if it's operating correctly, which we're going to spell out below.
We haven’t seen a better desk for using with a treadmill than the Lander Desk. Its impressive stability at taller heights is enough to keep a 6’ 4” user typing comfortably with minimal work surface shaking. Its height controller is intuitive to adjust and includes a built-in heal…
If you’re on the market for a treadmill desk with superior ergonomics, quality, and value, the iMovR Cascade is a top contender. Its built-in SteadyType™ keyboard tray delivers extraordinary typing ergonomics, and its state-of-the art treadmill is the most advanced walking machin…
If you’re looking for a treadmill desk with American-made quality and excellent value, iMovR’s Energize deserves a closer look. Its assortment of custom tabletop options is sure to leave you with the perfect match for your space and décor, and its state-of-the-art ThermoTread GT …
UnSit Walk-1 is a shorter under desk treadmill for when you don't have enough space at your office or would like to mobilize your home office.
Like their positioning in the exercise equipment field, LifeSpan focuses on offering middle-of-the-road treadmill desk solutions that are of decent quality at a reasonable price, but their DNA is clearly that of an exercise equipment manufacturer, not an office furniture manufact…
The granddaddy of commercial treadmill desks, Steelcase's circa 2007 design is becoming antiquated compared to what can be purchased from top-rated walking treadmill and adjustable-height desk manufacturers. Steelcase pricing has fluctuated over the past year in response to ankle…
More of a running treadmill fitted with a desk surface, the NordicTrack Treadmill Desk – despite being a decent, if expensive, running treadmill – doesn't meet the minimum criteria for an office-ready treadmill desk. If you're searching for a new treadmill desk, look elsewhere.…
The belt dimensions are literally like you'll find on a dog treadmill, not one for average sized American users. Extremely underpowered motor shuts off abruptly after only 90 minutes to protect the wimpy motor. One third the weight of any true walking treadmill. Long list of defi…
This is a bundle of two well-made but aging products, the original ModTable crank desk, and the Lifespan TR1200-DT3 treadmill base, both of 2011 vintage. Much nicer treadmill desks can be put together by using an adjustable-height desk that offers a full range of heights from sit…
The UpTown has two exclusive hallmarks of its own: 1) it is the quietest electric desk in the market today, at under 41 dB, and 2) it is the most configurable desk in the world, with no less than nine tabletop sizes, in eleven standard colors. Like all iMovR desks, its tabletop i…
The Cadillac of electric height-adjustable desks, ThermoDesk's top-of-the-line Elite model is a clean-sheet design with specific features for treadmill deskers, and can adjust to either stand-to-walk size (48" or 60") or a full sit-to-walk width (72" or 83"). Every feature imagin…
As pinnacles go, there's none higher than Mount Everest. Likewise, there may be no better treadmill desk workstation combo on the market today than an iMovR Omega Everest stand up desk paired with a ThermoTread GT office treadmill. This combination brings together the elegant, re…
InMovement is apparently all about copying technology that's nearly a decade old and spinning it to the marketplace as something completely new.
For the budget-conscious desker with an eye towards the Elite features. The Ellure, in tandem with a walking treadmill, is an affordable way to transform your office into a moving active workstation.
The Walk N Work, which looks like a fusion between a bar stool and a sawhorse, is the latest on our list of shoddy workarounds meant to convert running treadmills to walking desks.
The Go Treadmill Desk, designed to fit over a running treadmill, doesn't inspire much confidence. Its spindly legs and lightweight frame won't be as stable as the heavier, solid desks that we recommend. Its design does not lend itself to proper ergonomic posture, so wrist and nec…
Despite the incredible variety of electric desks on the market, manual-adjustment desks remain popular among treadmill deskers. Why? A low price tag attracts prospective walkers on a budget, while others simply prefer an unpowered option – one that can't leech energy or add anoth…
While I can’t promise you that walking on a treadmill desk will turn your children into ubermenschen, I can tell you this much: exercise impacts us at an epigenetic level, and our epigenome is heritable. As we at WorkWhileWalking often say, treadmill desking is no replacement fo…
When it comes to treadmill desk workstations, iMovR's Omega line of standing desks - with their built-in, patented, SteadyType keyboard trays - are the ultimate choice for combining with any office treadmill. Besides being the only desks on the market that were specifically desig…
Overhyped by a manufacturer with very questionable marketing practices, the TrekDesk has the fundamental problem of violating many of the basic rules of how to build an ergonomically-proper, stable, attractive and productive treadmill desk. We would caution anyone thinking of buy…
iMovR's Omega standing desk product line - with their built-in, patent-pending, SteadyType keyboard trays - are the ultimate choice for combining with any office treadmill. Besides being the only desks on the market specifically designed for the ergonomics of computing on the hoo…
The Exerpeutic “Model 2000 WorkFit High Capacity Desk Station Treadmill” is the low-price and low-quality leader in the treadmill desk field. With an MSRP of $999 you can typically find this unit on sale at Amazon and Walmart for less than $700.
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.
Adjustability and stability combine to make a natural treadmill topper. Electra desks are the first mid-line sit-walk options we've seen to date, and put these ultimate ergonomic workstations within reach of the average desker.
