Fantastic way to work I’ve been looking at workspace / desk options for a couple of years. I first saw the concept of “Walk / Work” with a product made be SteelCase. Theirs is a nice looking unit with a built-in treadmill, but two major problems: 1) Extremely expensive, and 2) The built-in treadmill is essentially featureless. So I kept looking and came across TrekDesk. I dropped some hints with my wife about the TrekDesk for Christmas and sure-enough, there was a huge box under the tree on Christmas morning. I put the TrekDesk together in about 25 minutes with only minor tools, and not-so-handy handyman skills. I found the TrekDesk simple and easy to put together… some reviews here suggest that it is difficult to assemble. Personally, I’m all thumbs and found it very simple, with good pictures and diagrams in the assembly directions.Despite the advice at TrekDesk, I thought it would be a good idea to put the speed up on the Treadmill to 2-3mph (seemed slow compared to Gym workout),…

Was skeptical – now a convert! 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…

Absolutely love my Trekdesk! I have been waiting for months for the Trekdesk to be released. I ordered mine minutes after receiving the email that it was available to order (I was on the waitlist). I had lofty expectations for this product. Now that I have been using it for a few days I can safely report that Trekdesk has met all my expecations. I am thrilled with my new office routine!Let me start with the bad to get it out of the way. I am nit-picking here. These are fairly minor complaints. THE BAD: – Assembly instructions could be more helpful. It took me 45 minutes to assemble the desk, although I admitedly am not much of a handyman. Others could probably assemble it in half that time. The instructions were detailed, but do not have drawings/pictures which would have been very helful to me. The video helped some, but I wish it also was more detailed in showing assembly steps. I was surprised at the number of parts to assemble…and the number of screws. It would be…
