Amazon.com 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. About TrekDesk
Designed by a team of engineers, manufacturing, and sales professionals, the TrekDesk is intended to make people more productive and healthier at the same time. TrekDesk is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with a design team based in Bedford, Virginia.

 Good buy August 13, 2010

There are a few things I would like to add to what other reviewers have already said:
1) Do to the color and rough surface of the desk, if you are using a mouse with a laser you will definitely need a mouse pad or tracking will now work reliably.
2) I'm 6 feet and am using the desk at its lowest setting which puts it at my beltline where I find typing most comfortable. This may be because my treadmill's (Horizon T101) deck is not very high but I suspect that a shorter person may find that the desk is too tall if he also likes this typing position.
3) My desk arrived without any of the screw holes drilled into the desk; the assembly video and manual make no mention of the need to drill these so I suspect mine made it through quality control somehow. Not a problem for me but be aware that you may need to do some drilling as well.
4) The filing attachment kept collapsing on me so I finally gave up and took it off the desk. If the metal tabs were a little longer this would not happen.
5) Although some of the company's videos show a monitor being placed on the desk I believe this is just not practical. The monitor's position would block access to the treadmill controls and also sit too low for comfort. I have instead purchased a wonderful LCD stand from [&] which places my monitor at eye level. You could, of course, also mount your monitor to a wall.
Having said all of this I am quite pleased with the desk and the opportunity it gives me. What a great way to stay active and alert while doing my work at the same time!

Great invention! I don't even notice I'm walking while I'm working! Never had time for the Gym, and now I've had to buy a smaller belt! It's Amazing!

I am totally satisfied with my Trek Desk. I have had a sedentary job for many years and this desk has changed my life for the positive. I can walk and work and feel so much better. My legs are getting stronger every day. I feel less tired and have more energy. I recommend it without reservation.
Love my Trek Desk - Well Worth the Money..... March 17, 2010
Theresa (Clifton Park, NY)
I have been walking for three weeks with my Trek Desk and I
love it! I put a small desk in my office in case I wanted to sit - I
never use it. I walk anywhere from 4 - 9 miles a day and feel great.
I have given my employees the opportunity to have one as well. So far one person
seems interested and I will be ordering another desk for her.
I have type 1 diabetes and it has made a positive difference in managing my
sugar levels not to mention I have so much more energy and feel more productive.
Thanks for a well made, affordable product, the size is perfect. Assembly was easy, my
son assembled it. I can put my laptop, phone, files, just about everything that I had on my desk
on it. I do wish that it was available in a black formica model to match better in my
office.
Desk Job? You've Got to Get This! Quality / Price Factor is Unbeatable! February 12, 2010

I have had a desk job for the past 5 years. I was feeling it: sore back, sciatic nerve pain, gained 15 pounds, lousy sleeping patterns, felt like a lump of clay when I went home every night. Nine hours a day dedicated to an early grave! I always promised myself I would start exercising regularly. But, like many people, I never chose to make that a priority. I finally started pursuing a treadmill with stand-up desk option after my doctor told me I was killing myself. I looked and looked for 6 months, never satisfied with either the quality or the price. Finally, last September, 2009, I found what I had been looking for, and I knew it instantly when I saw it.
My TrekDesk arrived in early October, 2009. I had already found a high-quality treadmill in the want ads, one that sold for $2,500 new, but was being sold for $750. Deal! HINT: don't skimp on the quality of the treadmill you use; it's worth the effort to get the right one. I use a Precor USA and it is solid and quiet. I put together the TrekDesk with not too much difficulty. After speaking with the good folks at TrekDesk, giving them feedback, they told me they have greatly improved the assembly instructions process since I bought mine (I was one of the first buyers they had). Assembly instructions were my only complaint about this desk, be it very minor, but it sounds like they're taking care of that. Good people!
The desk design and price combined are what sold me on this desk, and I haven't changed my mind. I love how you stand in the indent shape, with desk space to the left and right of you. I've mounted an external monitor to the wall, so I have two screens to work from. My customers never even notice I'm walking on the treadmill while I talk (provided that I'm using my headset and NOT the speaker phone). Anyone that complains about the desk's quality is just a whiner. Sure, it was not meant to be leaned upon much (or you get movement in the desk), nor is it a good idea to have it touching the treadmill (possible vibration from your feet landing on the treadmill deck). Neither of these issues HAVE to be issues because the desk is designed to stand alone, free from the treadmill.
I actually disassembled the bars coming up from the treadmill, so my treadmill's control console is sitting up on the right-hand, front corner of the desk. It works wonderfully! The desk bears plenty of weight and I confess, I'm a clutter-bug! No complaints about any of the desk's functionality. The included accessories are perfect!
Anyway, I was being laughed at by all my coworkers about this quest to walk all day as I worked, using the phone and the computer intensely. They said I couldn't walk and type or walk and talk without being compromised in focus or quality. Well, they're not laughing anymore! I've lost over 12 pounds and I haven't changed my eating habits one bit. I feel great! I walk, on average, about 7 miles per day. Taking into consideration that I have to sit in meetings and do other tasks away from my desk, that's quite respectable, I think.
My posture is better, my focus is better, my energy with my customers is better, I love my job even more; there are no downsides to my choices here! None whatsoever! About the only time walking all day gets to be a drag is when I haven't walked much over the weekend (then Mondays are a little rough by 4PM), or when I've chosen to stay up late and not get much sleep; the following day is going to be a 4 to 5 mile day, that's all. I started tracking my actual walking patterns in December, 2009. Now it's a highlight to my day to see the numbers on my spreadsheet. The current log for me right now? Here goes:
Actual days of walking (business days): 36
Total hours:minutes walked: 182:45
Average miles per day: 6.6
Average miles per hour: 1.3
I wish I had started logging this in October when I first set it up!
I had bought a small, separate, sit-down desk when I first set this all up, anticipating the possible need to sit for part of the day. Well, in the average week, I only sit at that desk for maybe an hour or two.
If you realized how much of a life-changer this would be for you, you would be buying this desk today and you would start your journey. TrekDesk is the best option I've seen out there, considering quality AND price. You can buy other desks that have more features (like electric motors for adjustable height), are more sturdy (although TrekDesk's desk is plenty sturdy if you use it right), etc., but you'll pay twice as much or more for it.
This has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. When I go home I have no battle with the guilt of not exercising, because I did it all day and I feel great! The compliments from people who notice the difference is in no way a downside either!
Buy this desk and start living again!!!
Thanks, TrekDesk, you guys are great!
