Treadmill Desk Workstation

Product Description

Too busy to work out on a daily basis? Turn to the TrekDesk treadmill desk, which encourages you to walk slowly on a treadmill while you talk to clients, type up proposals, or catch up on your email. Designed to attach to most existing treadmills, the TrekDesk was originally built for offices, with a variety of features meant to keep employees productive and fit throughout the day. The desktop offers a generous workspace that measures 72 inches long by 34 inches wide, and includes such desktop accessories as a manuscript holder that keeps books and magazines upright; a file folder with three levels; accessory slots to keep accessories on the desktop; a top stand that holds your telephone, headset, or cell phone; and two cup/utility holders. The desk's center cutout, meanwhile, keeps all treadmill controls and accessories within easy reach, while also positioning your body close enough to type on a laptop or use a mouse. And despite the TrekDesk's foldable design, it's extremely sturdy when attached, with two height-adjustable support legs (fixed 49 inches apart) providing a solid, robust steel base, and a premium powder-coated steel frame that's built to last a lifetime. The frame is topped off by a resilient, steel-reinforced, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) desktop.

The TrekDesk offers a number of benefits to both work and home users. Not only does it encourage weight loss, disease prevention, and overall physical health, but it also improves your mood and increases your productivity. Studies show that a TrekDesk can increase blood flow to the brain, helping improve your memory by as much as 15 percent in a six-month period. At the same time, walking on a treadmill promotes healthy restorative sleep patterns, which in turn decreases your stress levels and keeps you happier. In short, the TrekDesk can help encourage a total overhaul of your mental and physical well-being.

Other features include beveled edges for comfort and appearance; a height-adjustment console that adjusts to the perfect ergonomic position for typing (the desktop suits employees between 5 feet 4 inches and 6 feet 4 inches tall); robust metal support arms for added strength and durability; and a durable scuff-resistant work surface. The TrekDesk--which sets up easily within 30 to 45 minutes--supports up to 55 pounds of equipment and weighs 57 pounds by itself. It also carries a two-year warranty.

Was skeptical - now a convert!
by Samantha Stone (5 out of 5 stars)
April 15, 2013

I purchased my TrekDesk about 6 months ago but it sat in it's box for a few months before I got around to pairing it with the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill (also bought from Amazon). I was pretty skeptical at first - especially after reviewing the most negative review video.

I work mostly at home as an IT consultant and have lived a very sedentary life as a result and have put on at least 50lbs too much and really needed to make a change in my life. If I was going to do this - I really needed to 1) keep it under budget (we have 5 kids at home etc.) and 2) I needed enough space to hold all my stuff (I use three monitors with my PC) and it had to hold it all steadily. It's now been 8 weeks since I started using my new desk/treadmill and I wanted to tell my experience.

Pre-workout and building courage phase:

Once I received my treadmill I was finally forced to open the box for the desk and to begin to build it. I was pleasantly surprised at the build construction. From the negative video - the guy makes it look like it will fall over and collapse by barely touching it so I remained skeptical still. It took me only about 45 minutes (in total - in between visits from my little guys asking if they can help every 2 min.) I am only 5'8 (got shorter due to paratrooper days in the Army :) and found that I the default height of the lowest setting fit me perfectly. With the treadmill in place I stand very comfortably with my hand easily being able to reach my keyboard and other items I need to use without issue. There is at least enough room to raise it another 10 inches for those less vertically-challenged like me.

I proceeded to move all three of my 27inch LCD monitors, two laptops, a speakerphone and still have plenty of room for water bottles and other misc. stuff that adds up without being too cluttered. In the end, found that not only did I have enough space for all of this, but it was all quite stable (unlike how the guy in the video tries to show you that it is all very unstable and cheap). In short - I am very pleased with the construction. The desk is foldable like a folding table and can be easily moved - love that too.

Now I have my TrekDesk next to my old fat guy desk in my office so I can easily switch as needed.

Now on to actual use..

Week 1: Ouch! My feet are killing me! This will take some time to get used to for sure.. Typing and talking - well not too easy to do at initially. It took me a few days to get used to it if I concentrated. I started off at a speed of 1.0 to get used to things ending at 1.2 for the week. I would run in 30 minutes 'sets' as long as I could stand it - but I had to take frequent breaks too.

Week 2: OMG my feet HURT. I am using regular gym shoes but really have not gotten used to the standing bit. I have increased my pace from 1.5 to 2.0 though and I sweat pretty strongly at this setting. I where shorts and tank while working - that's pretty cool huh? By the end of this week I was starting to get more encouraged though.

Week 3: Ok - feet are beginning to adjust and don't hurt so bad. I have some soreness in my legs and back but it was ok since I was actually feeling pretty good about it. I have started to really get into drinking water. So far - the desk hasn't broken down at all - everything remains functional and stable. The treadmill I bought has been holding up as well. The noise level is quiet enough that I can be on my USB speakerphone (Using MS Lync) and no one on the call complains and when asked about it they tell me that they don't hear anything :)

Week 4: Now I am starting to feel like this is a habit. I decided to go out and buy a FitBit Ultra (yes Amazon as well) so that I can keep track of my steps, calories, and distance. I have also started a push program that when I pause I do some sets of pushups in-between meetings etc.

Week 5-8: Using the FitBit has really made a difference now as well. At the end of week 8, according to the FitBit, I am averaging over 10,000 steps a day (over 4 sets of 30 minutes at ~2.0 MPH), burn close to 2,000 calories a day, and have greatly reduced my calorie intake. I am now losing weight at a clip of around 1.5 to 2 lbs a week and have not felt this good in a long long time. I now have loads of energy and when I wake up tired, once I get going, I wake up and stay awake all day (before I started I was tired all the time and really had a hardtime staying focused.).

I really have to credit the TrekDesk people with making what I consider an economical but well designed product, as well as low cost Confidence Power Plus Treadmill and FitBit. I spent around $800 for all of this and I consider it truly a life change for me. Please take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. If you have the money - then naturally you can spend more but for me, I am very happy with this purchase.

On a last note - I built a small stand for the middle monitor to sit on that is open in the middle with two 10 inch sides and the top is 18 inches across - both being 10 inches deep. This lets me reach the treadmill controls and be able to see the timer on it without issue.

I hope you find my little review informative!

The Best Desk on the Market!
by Summer Shelton (5 out of 5 stars)
February 4, 2015

I researched various desks, and the TrekDesk provided the most space for my double monitors and office supplies. Yes, it is an investment, but so is your health!

I canceled my gym membership, because I never had time to go to the gym. I was getting about 2,000 steps per day. Now with my TrekDesk, I am hitting my goal of over 10,000 steps per day by noon! All while working!

I started out at 1 mph. Then, I moved up to 1. 5. I sometimes get to 2 mph, but I have found the best pace for me is 1.8 mph. At this pace, you can still type and operate your mouse very smoothly. I'm sure everyone has their own "perfect pace", but remember to start out slow.

Wouldn't it be great if every classroom and every office in the country offered these as an option for students and staff? Imagine the productivity and healthy benefits!

I want to convince everyone that this is a great purchase, and I have not regret it for one moment.

great product, a bit overpriced
by Scott (4 out of 5 stars)
August 12, 2016

Assembly requires the end user to drive a lot of screws into place into areas that do not have pre-drilled holes. The idea is, the screws will be able to be driven into the designated spot, which is very difficult as the plastic is hard and thick. If the holes were pre-drilled, assembly would have been very easy and quick. One piece does not fit correctly, the holes are over 1/8" off, making it impossible for pieces to be put together.

PROS:

Very good solid design

Sturdy design

Lots of work space

CONS:

A bit overpriced

No way to contact the company by phone

Holes not predrilled for assembly

CONCLUSION:

I chose the Trekdesk because of it's generous work surface, overall stability and ease of storage when not being used.

Seeing it endorsed by so many news outlets and companies in general, and considering the price, led me to believe that I'd be receiving a quality product that is backed by excellent customer service. While it did take them more than a few days to get back to me, they did and were helpful and eager to resolve my issue.

Should be in every office!
by Emma King (5 out of 5 stars)

I invested in the TrekDesk August 2014, and while it took me time to adopt to a rhythm of using it, I found clear benefits from Day One.
1. I was no longer sitting at my desk for long periods of time with no movement
2. I was standing so had a different perspective of my working environment
3. My Shoulders and Lower Back no longer ached at the end of the day
4. My posture improved
5. My Attitude improved movement helped me feel more positive about my job
6. My energy increased, the more I moved the more energized I felt
7. My RA Symptoms (in combination with diet changes) improved
8. I now walk 5miles per day that I otherwise could not find the time to do
9. Improved my Motor Skills (who knew my coordination was so off)

I chose a manual treadmill that was very low cost to pair with my TrekDesk, using a manual treadmill gave me more control and confidence that I wouldn't fly off the back and I believe it was a great choice.

I am now on a campaign to get one at our Corporate Office for staff to experience for themselves.

63 yr old arthritic female LOVES it. Great concept. Great product
by Sula Bay Trading (5 out of 5 stars)
May 29, 2013

My Work needs: I must work at the computer 8 hours or more a day. My health needs: I have fibromyalgia, had a hip replacement 6 months ago and arthritis in both knees. These 2 needs do NOT go together and I am always behind in one of them. I shopped around and this product was the only one priced in a range where if it didn't work for me-- it was OK. Also I already had a treadmill that was not getting much use. I got the TrekDesk in about a week. It came in a very large box. I de-boxed it no problem and put it all together myself with no help at all.... leisurely and slowly, a few hours. I even moved it to the treadmill and made the adjustments all alone. I do have my own drill and I am handy with tools. But I think anyone with basic tool knowledge who can follow the pictures can do it just fine. The first day I got it, I put 1.5 miles on it and every day after that. I really can work on complex legal documents, email and use the phone. I'm building up to more time. 1 MPH is comfortable. I can work at home some days so it's great for those days. I'm so glad I did not let the negative feedback influence me. It is STURDY, just the right weight. I'm 5'6" and use the #4 height slot for my Nordic Track treadmill. I cannot fathom anyone regretting this purchase. Tip: DO use the drink cup. I put my water on the top and right away I hit it with my hand (I've done that even without a treadmill). It aint' the prettiest thing you've seen but it has fabulous bone structure and a great personality. I really like the paper stand accessory that comes with it. I would make the metal paper tray accessory optional. It's very heavy and I don't think many people would use it. I suggest a book holder accessory instead with a flexible arm.

Best decision I made.
by Keren (5 out of 5 stars)
February 3, 2015

I have had this desk for a few months now and I LOVE IT! My office is situated so I have my trek desk and my normal desk - but I actually never use my normal desk anymore. My husband has a different model treadmill desk but even he prefers mine. I spread out when I work and I absolutely love the size and shape of the trek desk. If I don't want to walk for whatever reason it just becomes a standing desk. I have been walking between 5 - 10 miles daily and feel a million times better. I was starting to suffer from backaches etc sitting all day (I'm a writer so I am at my desk for hours). Several friends come over and insist on trying my desk - people think it'll be hard to walk and type at the same time - but it's not! It feels so natural and getting that left/right brain action going only helps, in my opinion. I truly believe treadmill desks are the best invention and want to get one for each of my kids too - start 'em all right while they're young.

it is solidly constructed and lots of nice features like trays and a book holder
by Expatmama (5 out of 5 stars)

Wow, as a busy mom of three kids under five and working, I don't have time to really work out. However, I can do all of my mundane activities (paying bills, writing emails, shopping, take phone calls, etc) while still being active. Life-saving machine. It's not to say that you will be engaged in hard-core fitness, but at least you won't be sitting! Thank you!

Also, it is solidly constructed and lots of nice features like trays and a book holder. I miss it when I am on vacation, seriously. Also, it does NOT feel like multitasking--if it does, you haven't set the speedometer low enough. Again, it's not about running a marathon while writing a thesis!

Huge daily steps improvement.
by digitalicecream (5 out of 5 stars)
August 9, 2013

I'm a full time telecommuter and I struggle to get over 4,000 steps a day. On the day prior to receiving the Trekdesk, I walked just under 4,000 steps with a goal of 10,000. The following morning after having setup the trekdesk, I started work at the same time as normal, but by 11am I had already walked 4,700+ steps.

Needless to say I was astonished, and exhausted. I took a 30 minute break, sat down, had a meal, and then went back to "work". By 3pm, I had already surpassed 11,000 steps and by 5pm I had just under 13,000.

On Monday, I had more strength after having rested over the weekend. I started my normal day but found I had more energy and could stay on the treadmill longer, so I kept right on going. At the end of the day on Monday I was at 14,600 steps +.

Tuesday was the same story, except now I'm starting to get the hang of it, I'm able to type and talk and walk, and even chew gum at the same time. I'm also topping over 16,000 steps a day.

I have a Jawbone Up, and in order to track my steps I put it on my ankle since my hands are stationary. I haven't lost any weight, but it's clear that something is happening since my legs are much more firm than last week and my pants are starting to slip a little.

Can't say enough good things about this product. Get it, use it for a week, then decide for yourself.

Healthy Solution For Technical Workers!
by Carol L. Farina (5 out of 5 stars)
April 10, 2015

I had wanted to order one of these desks since seeing a show (20/20 or something like it) where a doctor and his entire staff used treadmills while they worked and saw patients. I have a computer-based job at home and spent way too much time sitting in my chair. My days can sometimes go to 10 hours when busy and getting up to walk around regularly wasn't enough. I purchased this in September 2014 and am absolutely thrilled. This is an affordable option for me, since I have a treadmill and did not want to spend $1500 for some of the ones I see available. While I have not relly lost weight with it, I feel so much better. My blood pressure has gone down, though it was never high. I feel healthier. I walk rather slowly 1.5 to 2 mph), since I have to type and write, but it fits all my equipment and the sound does not seem to go through my headset to people on calls. I do find I am hungrier, but especially in cold weather it has allowed me to walk and keep moving. I have walked through my whole day which can be about 7 hours and find that does get to my feet. I wear running shoes for the cushioning and even with that, I feel somewhat sore in my feet. The days where I walk in 99 minute intervals (my treadmill shuts off after 99 minutes) 2 or 3 times seem to be the best option. I do take a lunch break and sometimes I just stand at my desk for periods of time. The walking does prevent back issues. I really thought my back might hurt spending work days walking on my treadmill and it is important to note that the act of walking prevents that. I really think this is a great solution for technical workers and look forward to getting my biometric screening done to check my levels and cholesterol and all that. My heart must be healthier. It was relatively easy to assemble and has been very sturdy. I am so glad I purchased this and recommend it highly.

A good, sturdy desk
by AC Laurence (4 out of 5 stars)
July 1, 2014

I'm a writer and I bought the desk in hopes that I could spend more time walking and less time on my rear end with my laptop. When the TrekDesk came up for a lightning deal around Christmas, I bought it. It was fairly easy to put together, if ungainly. The main issue I have with it is the size. This thing is huge. Huge. Anywhere you put it, short of its own room, it is going to be a massive entity in the space and be in the way. I think this is really intended for someone who wants to replace their old desk and have everything there with them. You could put a phone, your printer, a desktop system with a monitor, keyboard and mouse and still have room for files and notebooks. If that's what you want, great. For me, I just wanted my laptop there, so all the accessories and the side pieces that extend out so far aren't really necessary. It also doesn't break down as easily as you'd think. Since it is so massive, taking it down when I'm not using it is necessary, but a chore. This is no folding table where you can just collapse the legs and snap them in place. You've got to disassemble a good part of it. You also can't fold up your treadmill while it's there to save some space, at least with my model.

If you're looking for something to put in your office to replace your current desk, to set up and leave there forever, it's great. And it is a sturdy, nice desk. Walking and typing is actually easier than I expected. But I found its just way more than I need. Unfortunately, I haven't really found a middle ground option I like. Perhaps they can come out with a Trek lite that isn't so big.
