Searching for the right anti-fatigue mat for your standing desk brings forth a daunting paradox of choice. They come in all sizes, colors, and quality of construction. Having analyzed many and written more fully-detailed product reviews on various standing mat offerings than any …
Ergonomic keyboard trays overcome the innate inadequacy of desks, allowing you to type in a way that’s more neutral for your upper body. This results in decreased likelihood of developing RSIs (repetitive strain injuries) and carpal tunnel syndrome.
In this review we're rounding out the best ergonomic chairs that promote active sitting. There are a few types to choose from and a significant amount of extra energy to burn.
There's a fresh new wrinkle to the conventional anti-fatigue mat that goes beyond anything we've seen from the matting industry. Raised edges, topographic surface, and activity-promoting features take standing to the next level. We've gathered a round of progenitor mats along wit…
iMovR is expanding its product lineup. Their affordable foot rest makes for a perfect addition to any sitting or standing desk. Offering four tilt angles, it accommodates different heights and allows for gentle calf stretching. Light weight and foldable legs makes it easily port…
Multiple design flaws stem from the fact that this was originally designed as an upright cardio exercise bike, simply re-skinned and re-positioned as an office fitness product to broaden out Lifespan's popular treadmill desk line (which has seen far greater success).
Balance trainers are a good way to improve your balance and stability, if you are looking to take on extreme sports like skateboarding or snowboarding or if you have an interest in surfing and dancing, but can they really replace sturdy, office balance boards?
Looking for a balance board that can provide enough stability to work at your standing desk? We've reviewed the top office products available in this relatively new product category. Improving on the design of balance trainers and physical therapy tools, these wobble boards are b…
At $159, the Birdi is a well-priced, lab-tested perching stool great for active workstations. The thick, high-resilient foam also makes the Birdi noticeably more comfortable than many of its leaning stool competitors. While a no-back perching stool-style may not be for everyone, …
We love having this Humanscale footrest around; it's one of the most borrowed items around the testing lab. It’s attractive, slender, and it feels amazing. Yes, we know we’re describing it in romantic terms, and no, we’re not embarrassed about that.
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…
The Deskcise from Flexispot is a jack-of-all-trades that does not excel at any one task—its strength is that it does several things well while being lightweight, portable, and cost-effective.
We’ve reviewed dozens of standing mats over the years, and beyond question, they significantly increase the amount of time users can stand in comfort each day, reduce injuries and keep employees happier at their jobs. But what if your job involves standing and moving around in a …
As under desk ellipticals go, this is the Cadillac model. And it's the only "smart" unit with a Bluetooth link to your smartphone app, and integration with FitBit.
Humanscale FM300 is a better version of the first foot rocker in the brand's lineup. Its sturdy steel frame is especially notable in comparison to the tubular base in FM100. Though it has its drawbacks and design flaws, the sole massager version of this foot rocker provides the b…
Which brings us to the new Synapse tables. Our colleagues over at iMovR have just introduced their new Synapse line of electric height-adjustable meeting tables as a more affordable alternative to their pricier kin, with some interesting new twists. The new Synapse Scrum Table st…
Rocker boards are widely used in fitness and physical therapy. They come in smaller sizes than the office balance boards and provide a greater level of instability, making for great tools of physical therapy and fitness conditioning. If you want to add more challenge to your work…
From the first glance, this is probably the weakest of Humanscale foot machines. Its tubular steel frame appears suspect, which is evidenced by few negative user reviews. It’s in the same price range as the rest of Humanscale’s foot rocker lineup, but we are in doubt about the un…
A crossover between a balance trainer and an anti-fatigue mat, the heavily marketed Wurf Board is becoming quite popular. We've tested it in our labs and found that it better surfs (sic) as an active standing solution rather than comfortable cushioning.

The FitDesk, which has dubbed itself "The #1 Exercise Bike," aims to bring the gym and office together, but misses when it comes to long-duration workplace productivity. If you're in the market for an exercise machine that lets you check your email, you've found it. But anyone lo…

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…
To be blunt, the bottom line for us is that Markant should stick with what it knows best—manufacturing beautiful European office furniture—and set this duck-billed platypus free in the Tasmanian wild where it belongs.
The NewHeights Elegante XT Conference is a standing meeting table that offers a high degree of customization, ranging from 60" to 120" in length. This electric height-adjustable table empowers your organization to conduct quicker and healthier standing meetings. Additional option…
Just like the other products in the brand’s collection, The Plane comes with an arching base that allows the board to pivot, lending it omnidirectional movement. Built with a slightly smaller deck, it is marketed as a ‘similar ride in a tighter eco-friendly package’.
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…
