I love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my treadmill. This treadmill has changed my life.

I had a really hard time finding the time to exercise before. I would come home after working all day and just sit down because I was so tired.
When I called to order a treadmill I wanted something that I would actually used. That is why I had it placed in my living room.

Well, I can tell you that I have used it every day. I started by walking 10 minutes in the morning and afternoon. I increased the time each day and now walk at least 30 minutes in the afternoon.
I use it while I use the phone, watch TV and many other things. I have more energy and feel so much better.

This treadmill is worth every single penny I paid!

I have told almost everyone at work how great the treadmill is. I just wish I had one there.
I just want to thank the gentleman who told me about this great invention. He was so easy going but really sold me on this.

It get used Review by Nancy Delson Vaughn

We have a Treadmill Desk in our admissions office. It is shared by 4 users who – fortunately – are of similar height.

The one in our business office is still waiting for a computer and phone connection .. so is being used more as a way to exercise then work – hopefully that will be resolved soon.

My husband loves the one in our home…

My only suggestion would be to consider a power height adjustment model if you are going to market to places like ours that might have multiple users on the same unit.
I know there would be an increase in $$ but might be a nice option. Once you put a computer on top – it is not so easy to adjust if you are trying to do it a few times a day.

Firstly, let me say that I "ADORE" my treadmill desk and I brag about it constantly. I would like to help you if you still would like input. Let me add that I already eat very well as I'm a Registered Dietitian and vegan. But working at a desk all day and not finding the time to go to the gym lately I had put on some weight. When I thought "I" had a great idea to get a treadmill and rig a desk above it so I could walk and get some exercise while working. I started googling how to make one when I found that Lifespan actually had a complete unit that looked wonderful. I wanted to put it in my office and still have it look attractive.

Let's just say in the first 3 weeks I had lost 10 lbs. As of now, I've lost a total of 20.5 lbs. since December 7th when I got it. I'm now only 5.5 lbs from my goal weight. Pretty amazing because I really haven't changed my diet - I was already eating vegan after all. But burning about an extra 500 calories a day while on the desk, and the residual extra calorie burn from increased muscle mass from not sitting all day has made the weight loss pretty much effortless. I would also add that my husband was a skeptic - and wondered if and how long I would actually use it. He is definitely a believer now!

My favorite parts:
*Large desk for work notes, computer, beverage, etc.
*Love that it senses and counts your actual steps as you walk, you can step off it briefly and it stops counting because it doesn't sense your steps
*Love that it tells you calories burned, distance, etc.
*Love that the control and readout is right in front of you while you work
*Very very quiet
*Best part is that you don't even think about it when you use it, then you look down and see how far you walked!

I absolutely love this thing!

I love the new desk and have incorporated it into my work day. It certainly
has raised a lot of questions from people and many people want access to
one!
Currently I am probably walking about 1-2 miles a day. This is worth promoting!

It's Great! Review by Zell Lewis

I purchased the Lifespan treadmill workstation as part of a New Year’s resolution to move more. I’m a 25 year corporate travel agent and doing what I love I spend a lot of time in the office.
This has brought a brand new outlook at work. I have more energy and clarity during the day. It’s great! In a month’s time I’ve clocked over 100 miles.
Just this week I placed the unit on a ¾” sheet of composite board to give it a little more stabilization. I have it upstairs in my home office which is carpeted. This way I can clean and lubricate it without worry of the carpet.

I recommend it anyone who’s looking to mix it up while they work.

Goodbye, bad habits. Review by Heidi Worth, M.D.

My husband, Ross Dickstein, and I purchased this treadmill desk for our personal use in our shared medical office. We put it against a big window looking out to the mountains and walk on it between patients, while we read charts or make notes. It is a great way to keep moving through the day--very smooth to walk on and the desk is the right size for a few personal effects and for us to switch lap tops when the other person is in the mood to walk. I am happy to be part of this web-site. As doctors, we have been keeping up on the literature about sedentary office workers and worried that we would be setting a bad example for our own patients as well as allowing our own aging bodies to fall into the same bad habits we preach against.
We are glad to be part of this movement! We really wish more desk-workers would learn about this simple and fun change to their day-to-day routine.

Good medicine! Review by Jonathan Cluett

As an orthopedic surgeon, I see every day the repercussions of a sedentary lifestyle, weight control problems, and lack of physical conditioning. Busy schedules can be to blame, but simply changing the way you manage your day can be the solution. Moving more at work can help manage the imbalance of physical activity and work schedules. I don't sweat more. I can type and read without problems. I am not short of breath on the phone. And most importantly, I have more energy at work.

Yes, I do get chuckles from people who see the desk. The laughs are quickly followed by questions. And the questions are almost always followed by requests to give it a try. My office staff is lining up to use my desk when I am at the hospital!

Changed my life... Review by TitanFlyer

I have been fighting the battle of the bulge my entire adult life, and tried everything with little success. This wasn't because nothing worked, but I just simply gave up as I get bored or I get tied up at work. I have a desk job where I work from home unless on the road. I needed a complete change of thinking, one where I was working out WHILE doing what I had to do. The treadmill desk seemed perfect so I purchased the 1200DT from Lifespan as it seemed like the best setup for the money (not into building something myself). I was right, this thing is solid a rock and works exactly (if not better) than described. I can't comment on support as I haven't needed any, which in my opinion is a comment on its own. Thanks LifeSpan, this has changed the way I work and actually 3 of my friends have purchased them after hearing about it or seeing mine. Well worth the money and the commitment.
