Motor HP* LifeSpan office gym treadmills use a different type of motor than those found in traditional fitness treadmills. Our high torque motors generate 2-3 HP at a very low 2400 RPM, resulting in hours of daily usage without over-heating or causing excessive stress on the motor and electronics.

Recommended Daily Use** The daily-use rating is to be used as a guideline only. Consistently going over the daily rating will not cause the treadmill to fail, however, you may have to replace wear and tear components such as the belt and deck sooner than anticipated. These ratings are posted to give you an understanding of how each treadmill is positioned within the line in regard to the long-term durability and does not affect the manufacturer's warranty.

 

Standing Desk/Portable Console

DT3: If you already own a stand-up desk, want to build your own, or want to pair with a LifeSpan standing desk, the DT3 is the best option for you. The compact, portable console sits on your desktop, putting you in full control of all the treadmill's functions without taking up valuable desk space.

DT5: The DT5 is a great standing desk if you don't anticipate on making frequent height adjustments. This desk includes padded armrests and a conveniently located console that doesn’t occupy any of the desk space.

DT7: The DT7 is ideal for multi-user environments including communal and public areas. The desk includes the same padded armrests and integrated control console as the DT5 plus the addition of electric-height adjustment. Height adjustment buttons are conveniently located within the console and include memory presets for two users.
