Good Customer Service; Fair designby W. A. A. (5 out of 5 stars)
October 30, 2012
It arrived timely and was fairly easy to assemble. After a week or two, it started to make a clanging noise. Customer service was excellent. They immediately offered to replace it. They are also quite willing to provide any extra nuts or bolts requested. I got the new treadmill and it was quiet, very quiet (much more so than my Epic treadmill at home). The treadmill is wider and shorter than some of its competitors but works just fine for a 6' foot male. It folds up nicely with the aid of hydraulics. The handle bars seemed unnecessary and got in the way for office use so I removed them and placed bicycle handle bar grips on the short stubs remaining after their removal. The desk is adequately sized and the power strip and cup holders are nice features. However, there's a bit too much movement on the desk top, shaking my monitors, when walking at a brisk pace but not a major issue. Also, the design could benefit by positioning the treadmill further under the desk top so that feet don't kick the cover when close to the desk while walking but walking a bit back from the desk is doable. A wider wrist pad directly behind the key board would also be an improvement. But all-in-all, its been great so far (I've had it about 2 months).
UPDATE: It's now two years later. The desk has continued to serve me well and customer service has been excellent even two years after purchase.
Exerpeutic 2000 WorkFit High Capacity Desk Station Treadmill
A unique product with a few issues.

This was the only treadmill with attached desk I could find for under a thousand dollars. The desk remains reasonably steady and I can do work, browse the web, or play games while walking at a pace of up to about 2.0 mph. It can do more, but it becomes difficult to use the computer much faster than that. Instead, I find that I get the best calorie burn by increasing the incline while walking and I can still get things done on my laptop.
That said, there are a few suggestions I wish I could pass along to the manufacturer. These are nothing I had not either read already or observed from further reading to be issues common to most treadmills.
* Many treadmills will interfere with DSL service. I had to learn this the hard way. You may have to move which outlet your DSL modem is plugged into depending on how your home is wired.
* This (like any treadmill, I suppose) is a very heavy object. Get some assistance.
* The cup-holders are ludicrously placed. Way in the back, kind of useless.
* The heart rate monitor can take up to several minutes to "catch up" to your actual heart rate. My advice? Find a setting that gets you where you want to be rate-wise through trial-and-error and stick with that setting.
* The desk is slightly too tall for a 5'8" male, and my wife at 5'6" says it's very uncomfortable for her. There is no adjustment for that, so if you're much shorter than that, this would be a very bad idea for you to purchase (if you plan to use the desk).
* The desk needs to be angled further back on the treadmill. It's hard to walk close enough to the desk to type and not bang your toes against the plastic guard thingy at the front of the walking surface.
All of those gripes acknowledged, I've owned it for at least a month now and I still use it regularly. Since I can overlap exercise with work and play now, there is no valid excuse for me to miss getting a little workout in every day. (I'm still a lazy bum, but it's getting better thanks to this device.) The built-in outlets are handy.
I love this treadmill desk!

I read all of the reviews and looked at a lot of different treadmill desks before buying this one. I was quite nervous that the desk was going to be too tall for me because I am only about 5'5", but it works perfect! My arms rest perfectly on the desk to be able to type comfortably while walking. I work from home so this is hands-down one of the best purchases I have ever made! I am able to get in faster walks when I am attending online meetings and then keep a slow pace when I am needing to write or type. The treadmill folds up easily and has a little shorter base so it doesn't take up a ton of room. The desk portion has a lot of space and I love the built in power strip. I would definitely recommend this treadmill!
Incredible for the price

I bought this two years ago here on Amazon, and am using it as I write this. Still can't believe this can be had for such a price (and free shipping) but it's the real deal. It's true that the height is not adjustable; I'm a 5'7" man, and I think if I were much shorter it could become uncomfortable to type on. However, one tip is that increasing the incline a few degrees will raise you considerably (and if the treadmill is stopped, it will retain this incline until it is started again). I have used the two programmable modes to input my own "conference call" circuits, and use them often. It folds up neatly for cleaning underneath. Heart monitor appears to work well. A few things curious shoppers should be aware of:
* Typing for extended periods on a treadmill desk -- any treadmill desk, I would think -- is difficult. If you envision typing furiously for hours while burning calories, you might want to adjust your expectations a bit. It is just not that natural to type while moving, although I still do quite a bit of it.
* Using a treadmill desk too much will do a real number on your legs and back, as I discovered in my first few weeks. You really can't ride this thing for eight hours a day, for days on end. You'll pay a price. Fortunately, when it's stopped it's a perfectly suitable standing desk. And I also have a tall stool nearby that I sometimes pull up on the stopped conveyor for a change of position.
* This sucker is HEAVY. It comes in two large boxes that most mortals would have a difficult time moving anywhere or unpacking without help. My wife was pregnant, and somehow I did manage to wrestle them down to the basement and get this thing set up, but it was borderline insane.
* Don't get too excited about the cup holders. The desk is a really large surface -- which is great -- but cup holders are weirdly placed on the opposite side from the walker.
* This is really made for walking and working (although it does go up to 4 mph, which is quite a clip). If you intend to seriously run, you might want to consider something designed purely for exercise.
... 2 inch and 300 pounds and this treadmill work perfect for my size at the start
by Terry J (3 out of 5 stars)

I am 6 Foot 2 inch and 300 pounds and this treadmill work perfect for my size at the start. I have owned it for two and a half years and logged well over 1000 miles on it.
Pros-
*The treadmill allowed me to work at good form I would not suggest it for a short person at a moderate pace. If you go to fast the treadmill will shake some so not very good for computer
*It held my weight well even at 4 miles a hour the belt never slipped
* It was easy to put together although I would recommend help it is heavy
*Good storage ability
Cons-
* After a year and a half the treadmill would randomly stop working nothing would turn on and just as random would start back again
*After two years it now only lights up when you press the start button nothing happens.I have done lots of research and can find nothing to fix it. This is the reason I can not get the treadmill anything higher than a three.
Recommendation
If your serious about using this everyday you may want to invest in a stronger treadmill. While the price is great its not worth having to replace every couple of years. If you are tall and want something for an occasional WFH day it may be a ok investment.
Love this treadmill! I am a graphic designer and can work and walk with ease! I walk 5-10 miles a da
by dakini99 (5 out of 5 stars)

This treadmill desk is exactly what I anticipated. I am 5' 9" and the height is perfect for me. It may work for someone 5' 8" but not much shorter since the desk is not height adjustable. I do graphic design and video work, and since my arms are braced on the desk I can even do the fine-tuned minor adjustments with no problem. I have my desk set at the first angle so it is not flat. To keep my laptop from slipping, I bought two of these pads: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RM1H9Q8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=c-t-20. It extends well behind my laptop so I can put my external hard drives on it. This raises the laptop to exactly the height of the pad along the front of the desk and keeps it placed where I want, which works perfect for me.
I also bought a fitbit zip to keep track of my steps, which is incentive, but I walk about 10,000 to 15,000 steps a day. One day I got in 20,000 which is right about 10 miles. Normally I would just be sitting, which compresses my back and I had been packing on weight over the last 4 years. My back is now pain free and I have lost way more weight than I anticipated.
It is quieter than I thought it would be. Obviously you can hear it, but it is not terrible. The faster you walk or the more incline you have it set to the more you will hear your feet come down on it so I guess it depends on what kind of clip you are walking.
The handles (like others have complained about) do seem a little long, but I think that is mostly where I have it placed. Against two walls with the back against one of the walls.
One of the challenges has been what shoes to wear. I live in the woods so they need to be a dedicated pair of shoes for the treadmill only, to keep dirt off of the track. I run in and out quite often and don't want to have to take the time to tie up shoes each trip in the house. Walking in socks was not good, mostly because of the no-slip bumps on the belt. I ended up settling on my cushy crocs. Since I am only walking and not running, these work perfect for me.
Packing was pretty good. One knob came broken, it is the one you pull to release the treadmill down when you have it folded up for storage. I have mine set up by our dining room table, which my partner uses for his desk (small house) so when we have dinner guests over and I fold this baby up I will find out how that missing knob will affect things.
Overall I am exceptionally happy with this purchase!
Overall this is a great solution for the individual that wants to work

Overall this is a great solution for the individual that wants to work, watch, or read while walking. I went back and forth about which unit to buy for my office and clearly chose this model. First off, it is about half the price of the other all-in-one solutions. Secondly, I am a male who is 6'1" tall. All of the reviews stated the desk was a little tall for individuals who are shorter than 5'8". I would agree with that assessment. It is nearly perfect for my height and could easily work for individuals who are + or - 3" . It's not impossible for shorter users it would just be more difficult for everyday use. The one thing to note is that the previous reviews regarding the cup holder and power strip position are no longer accurate. The company clearly reads the reviews and made the change as prescribed. Additionally, they also now have the option of using a small handle vs. the longer one with the incline and speed controls. It sure beats getting a set of bicycle grips to make the bars shorter. I mounted a Visidec monitor arm/laptop holder to the table and it is the perfect addition for productivity and comfort. For shorter users, one suggestion would be to order a keyboard tray and mount it to the bottom of the table. Exerpeutic could even consider adding it as an option. If all your doing is walking this is a great buy. Only con would be to add a Pause button.
Not Height Adjustable- Desk too far away.
by S Morehead (1 out of 5 stars)
July 4, 2013
I bought this treadmill desk because I was being cheap. I returned it within 30 days. It can work for some people but those people are very few and need to be tall.
CONS: 1) The desk height is NOT adjustable and it is quite tall. I am 5'4 and the desk was at my breast area. This makes it almost impossible to do any actual work on the desk, I could not write and I could not type comfortably. If you are planning to use the desk to watch something on your ipad (the only task I could comfortably complete) then it's fine. But if you are like me and buy this for a work setting then unless you are AT LEAST 6'2 don't bother. Several people of varying heights used this desk while it was in my office and the person who was 6'4 said it was perfect. In fact if you look carefully at the picture they provide you can see it's too tall. The person's hands typing are almost the same height as her shoulders. That's a terrible position.
2) The desk is too far back on the treadmill. The controls are above the motor casing and the desk starts after that. So basically the treadmill isn't under the desk it's in front of the desk. I was constantly hitting my feet on the plastic top portion of the treadmill (the motor casing) while I walked. Again this was because originally I was attempting to use the desk to work. To use the desk I had to reach the desk and to reach it I had to get as close to the front as possible. I literally rested my chest on the control panel and kind of slumped over trying to type. Then every few steps my foot would bang on the plastic because I was too close to it. If you only use the desk to watch something, you can probably stand toward the back of the treadmill and avoid this problem.
3) The cup holders are at the back of the desk and too far away to reach while on the treadmill. They are utterly pointless.
4) It's sort of loud. I was expecting it to be quieter but I may have had unrealistic expectations.
PROS: 1) The incline feature is nice.
2) It's the cheapest treadmill desk.
In conclusion this isnt really a treadmill desk. Its more a treadmill with an attached surface to hold your TV or ipad or possibly kindle to read. However if that's all you want then just get a regular treadmill with that feature and save yourself hundred of dollars. If you want a treadmill desk you can actually do work on and you are not 6'2 then keep looking.
(I actually don't recommend buying a treadmill desk at all. Buy a height adjustable desk and a treadmill base. This allows more customization to your needs and is about the same price.)
After 1 year of use and 1200 miles
by joshglover (4 out of 5 stars)
May 18, 2015
I've had this for a year now and overall I'm satisfied and use it over 8 hours daily for around 8-10 miles. It's a lower price point than other desks so for the price, I think it's a great treadmill desk and I brag to everyone about it.
Cons:
As others warn, the height is not adjustable but it's perfect for me and I'm 6'2".
Button panel comes unstuck and I have to press it back each day. May need a dab of glue.
Desktop area can wobble so I had to place mine in the corner. Works fine as long as at least one side is solid against a wall.
After about 11 months it became louder and impacted my ability to do conference calls. I called up support and they were great, listened to it over the phone and shipped me new bearings/rollers. I replaced the front and back bearings/rollers on my own and after about a week so far, seems quiet again. Would have been nice if they also sent instructions. I don't know what they would have done if I didn't volunteer to install them on my own, maybe send someone out, but it took about an hour and now back to new.
Pros:
Large desktop area, folds up when not in use but it's rare I fold it up completely.
Customer service is excellent and promptly shipped repair parts
They've moved the cup holders closer to you; this is better than in the image where they are beyond reach.
I live on this treadmill
by BB (5 out of 5 stars)

Long story short: excellent machine, good quality, nonadjustable height with the tilt top, kinda short deck, great customer service from Exerpeutic and worth every penny.
I was hesitant to spend major money on a treadmill from a company I knew little about but took the chance because of the specs. Working on the treadmill at least four hours a day I really wanted a combo treadmill/standing desk but didn't want to spend over $1000. It just needed to be quiet, have a solid feel and be dependable. I got very lucky buying this machine.
It just feels nice to use. The top is so useful. If you work at home IMO this machine might just add a few years to your life and boost your productivity. My only minor issue is that the counter resets a few seconds after stopping. It's a design choice that makes sense but not my preference. A dream option would be a bluetooth connection to its controller to track stats and wood grain upgrade to blend into the office a little better.
I did have a very minor part break and Exerpeutic's customer service was great (thanks Chen!). Stuff breaks and that's life. Good customer service is no accident. Exerpeutic clearly has put thought into quality customer support in a day when bad support can tank a good product. I prefer to deal with companies like this.
The only advice is don't open the big box (the deck and motor) until it's near it's final place. The box will make moving it much easier. Having a second person to help move it is a must, two will make moving it a breeze. The setup instructions aren't the best but thankfully the engineering makes setup pretty simple. It gets shipped in two boxes, one 150lb and one 75lb. Makes for a good workout moving them. =)
I rarely recommend anything but because of the Amazon experience, price, specs, quality and Exerpeutic's great customer service I would be remiss if I didn't give acknowledgement and commend all those that put this whole thing together. From engineering to customer service, I whole heartedly recommend the Exerpeutic 2000 WorkFit High Capacity Desk Station Treadmill.
Who knew you really could order a great treadmill over the Internet? =)
