Full review (1 month in, March 2018):
Without a doubt, this is the best large purchase I've made in a long time. Lately I'd started to feel like my desk job was slowly killing me, especially during the winter months, and I needed to do something about it. My first attempt was a FitDesk bike, and while it was OK, I found that it was too easy to just stop peddling without realizing it while I was involved in some work task. After doing a bit of research, I decided to pull the trigger on this treadmill desk.
Before it arrived, I was a little concerned about the space it would take up in my home office. This is not something you can tuck away somewhere when not in use; it needs a permanent spot. Fortunately for me, a little smart reorganization gave me plenty of room, and it works out well alongside the wall in one of the corners of the room. I was also a little concerned about the weight, and had already enlisted a couple of people to help me set it up. However, on the day it arrived, I was too impatient to wait for help, so I set it up myself. It took me about an hour, but it was doable, and I had no problems lifting and moving things into place. I should say that I regularly lift 50 to 100 lb items, so if that sounds challenging to you, you will want help. Before using the treadmill, I highly recommend going through all the settings. For example, one thing I discovered after several days of use is you can switch the maximum speed from 2 MPH to 4 MPH, which is great when I want a faster paced walk when I'm not typing away.
As far as the desk goes, it's sturdy and has plenty of space. I wall mounted a large TV/Monitor in front of it, and have a second monitor on the desk, so I have plenty of work space and can switch to watching TV if I want. I have plenty of room on the desk for water/coffee, the monitor, one or two laptops, a keyboard and mouse, and any paper I need. Lately, after work, I've been using the treadmill desk to play a game (Elite Dangerous) that I use two joysticks for, and I even have plenty of room for that setup. The one negative I might see some people having with the desk is that it is not easy to move up and down. You're basically going to set it to the height you want and leave it. If you need a desk that's easier to raise and lower, you'll want to look at another product.
The treadmill is very good. It's quiet enough so that when I'm on a conference call using a headset, no one can hear it. I don't have to crank up my sound to drown out the treadmill noise. It is by no means silent though, so in an office environment with other people there may be some complaints about the noise depending on your coworkers. The controls are simple, but the menu is a confusing mess, keep the physical manual or have a PDF on hand. It does sync bluetooth to it's own iOS app (Android too, but I haven't used), but the app is really garbage. As far as I've been able to figure out, it does NOT integrate with HealthKit, which is kind of a bummer, but I've just started tracking things on with the workout app on my watch.
At the point I'm writing this, I've had the treadmill for a month and completed my activity goals every day since I got it. I've used it every day for at least 5,000 steps. If I'm working from home, I tend to do around 20,000 steps. Some days I go more because I really don't notice I'm walking; for example, I walked 12 miles the other day during my shift and felt fantastic when I got out of work. I find it very easy to work while using it going at 1.5 - 2.0 MPH depending on what I'm doing, I also find that I'm much more productive. I don't get that afternoon crash where I feel like I need a nap anymore. Lately, on days where I don't work from home, or if I want to walk more in the evening, I've been cranking it up to 3 - 4 MPH and using it while watching TV (faster) or playing video games (slower). It's amazing I can game or watch something for a couple of hours and walk a few miles without even really noticing it. I've dropped 10 lbs so far by just adding a treadmill to activities I was already doing.
I'll try to keep this review updated as time goes on, but at this point I can't recommend it enough. If you have the space and you're stuck at a desk all day, get it. If you have the space and you game a lot, get it. If you do both, get it get it!
I narrowed down my selection to either the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk or this one. Since I did not already have a treadmill, I went with the LifeSpan rather than the Trek. If you already own a treadmill, you may want to save money and go with the TrekDesk. I've never use or even seen the TrekDesk in person, so I can comment on how these two desks compare in terms of how sturdy they are, and they both have great reviews. I will say, though, that I really appreciate how the treadmill controls on the LifeSpan are mounted at the front of the desk. I seems like it would be annoying to have to try operating the treadmill on the TrekDesk by reaching over and behind/under the desk.
Because I was moving, but wanted to have the desk set up shortly after moving into my new place, I had it delivered to a relatives. The delivery company called in advance and helped move the large, heavy boxes into my relative's garage. In hindsight, I should have been more patient and ordered it after having moved into my new place. The boxes are large and heavy. It is best to have the space cleared out near where you'll be putting the desk and have the delivery guys carry them into your home/office for you. It is definitely a two-person job to move the boxes.
Assembling the desk was simple enough. I did it myself, but it would have been easier with two people. Some of the pieces are heavy. As for the treadmill, there is no assembly required. Just open one end of the box, roll it out and roll it under the desk. It is a little heavy and can be harder to roll on shag rugs, but it was still pretty easy to move it around on my own. It is always good to spray a little silicone lubricant under the belt of a new treadmill and you may want to adjust tension or center the belt, but I did none of that and there were no issues. I just rolled it under the desk, connected the vga cable to the desk, plugged it in and started using it.
I've now been using this desk for about three weeks and do nearly all of my work at this desk. I may take sit down break and take some phone calls or respond to e-mail on my phone, but if I'm using my laptop, I'm working at this desk. I've not felt the need to move my laptop to my wife's sit down desk or the kitchen table yet.
I concur with what many other reviewers have said about this desk, both the good and bad:
THE GOOD
* STURDY. I remain surprised at how sturdy this is. It isn't really connected to the treadmill, other than the vga cable that connects it to the control panel, so there is no vibration. Even if I lean on the desk, it doesn't shake. I do not currently have a monitor arm mounted to the desk, but I plan to eventually and the desk is sturdy enough that you can easily do so.
* SPACE. It is just the right size for me. I have my laptop, a monitor, a large Kinesis ergonomic keyboard, an external touchpad, a small wireless phone handset, a pencil cup, two drinks (water and coffee), and external hard-drive on my desk right now and still have space to put a notebook. Eventually, I'll mount both my monitor and laptop to raise them off the desk, freeing up even more space--but I don't really need it.
* CONTROLS. The treadmill control panel is a distinguishing feature of this desk. It is conveniently located at the front of the desk, but unobtrusive. It is very convenient for increasing/decreasing your speed or pausing the treadmill while you are working. Competing models that work with existing treadmills often require that you reach over and behind the desk to get at the controls, which can be inconvenience if you have a large monitor on your desk. Other reviewers have complained that you can't record your time, cals, steps, etc. offer time since it is reset every time you turn it off and there is no way to connect it to you computer to upload information. That was not a feature I needed or would even use, so lack of this feature doesn't detract my view of the device.
* MAINTENANCE. I have not had it long enough to say much about maintenance, but I've lubricated it and aligned the walking belt. Both are easy enough. Make sure you keep the Allen wrench that comes with the treadmill if you don't have a set already. You will need it to adjust the belt alignment or tension. You should really lubricate a new belt before use, so it would have been nice if they included some lubricant with the treadmill. It comes pre-lubricated, but depending upon how long it was in storage, it could dry up. I used it without prelubricating it without any issues for the first week or so and then bought some 100% silicone lubricant from Ace hardware. Just spray some under the belt every couple of weeks. Cleaning is easy enough, just vacuum any dust out of the motor every month or so. As another reviewer has pointed out, leaving the screws to the motor cover loose will make it easier to remove it for cleaning without having to pull it out from under the desk.
* HEIGHT. Unless you are exceptionally tall, you should be able to adjust it to the height that is optional to you. It is best to have two people adjust the desk height. I did it by myself, but it was awkward. It really is a set it once and leave it adjustment. If you need to frequently adjust the desk height for multiple users, this isn't the desk for you. You would likely need something more expensive, with hydraulics.
THE BAD
Really, there is nothing that is "bad" about this. A few small changes, however, would make this product even better:
* the on/off switch -- You can stop the treadmill from the control panel but can't turn it off. You either always leave it on, or you have to bend down at the front of the treadmill, under the desk to turn it off (and back on).
* beeping. I wish there was an easy way to silence the control panel so I can adjust the speed while on the phone without it beeping.
* abrupt stop. when you hit stop, it is very abrupt. I wish it would slow down first. I have to remember to step on the rail or off the treadmill before hitting stop
Those are the only negative I can think off.
Finally, as someone who has struggled with RSI in the past, some suggestions to make it more ergonomic:
1. Set the desk low so your elbows are at slightly less than a 90-degree angle and you shoulders are not hunched.
2. Raise your primary monitor to eye level using a monitor mount or a stack of books, whatever is in your budget. If you use a laptop, put it on a laptop stand, such as the Cricket laptop stands, which take up no additional space but rasie the screen up.
3. Use an ergonomic keyboard. Many are thicker than standard keyboards (I use a Kinesis Advantage, which is MUCH thicker) so you'll need your desk even lower to ensure you are not hunching shoulders or bending your wrists.
4. Use an ergonomic pointing device. Since getting this desk, I find I would rather use an external touchpad rather than a mouse. I used to use an Evoluent Verticle mouse, but it can not be comfortably switched from hand to hand and mice need more desk space than a pad. Also I can hold the touch bad in my hand and control the pointer standing back away from the computer while walking. The external touchpad, especially if you get a wireless one, give you a lot more range of movement, and just seems easier to use when walking. Your mileage may vary.
