What We Liked

• The treadmill desk is super-easy to assemble. It essentially comes pretty much in assembled form when delivered to your home or office. You can be easily walking within half an hour after its delivery.
• The treadmill is customizable to suit ambiance of your office or home. It comes in silver and black frame color, while you can also choose from multiple desktop finishes.
• The small and easy to read LCD console display time, distance, number of steps taken and calories burnt overtime.
• We love the Active Trac Mobile app that help bluetooth integration with the treadmill desk. You can transfer all the important workout data and progress to your phone.
• The treadmill is fully operational for an impressive six hours straight without hiccups or interruptions.
• The higher speeds make it an ideal choice for home use if you are self-employed. You can utilize it during your workday at a lower rate of speed. When you are ready for a power walk in the evening, you can crank it up to 4 mph and enjoy a vigorous walk.
• The armrests feature foam insulation to potentially prevent carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive motion and typing.
• The Intelli-guard safety feature detects your movements and ensures that the treadmill desk will only operate once you are actively walking.
• The sleek hidden cable is virtually undetectable. It houses all of the cords and components to keep your office look modern and clean when visitors, clients and guests are present.
• The warranty on the LifeSpan is excellent for price range. You get a lifetime protection on the frame itself, three-years coverage on motor, two years on parts, and one year for labor. If you keep the tread belt properly lubricated and ensure you are using the treadmill desk for maximum recommended six hours of daily use, you will likely encounter fewer problems with this machine.

What We Disliked

• While the LifeSpan Desk is well-built and durable, it is important to mention that the safety guard rails are made of plastic. This is the standard option, but you can upgrade to metal rails for a more modern look that offers slightly more durability.
• Most traditional treadmills and walking treadmill desks feature pre-lubricated running surface. This makes maintenance a piece of cake, and it is especially important in a work environment. With this LifeSpan treadmill desk model, you need to wax the track on semi-regular basis to keep it performing to its best capacity.
• Although, the TR1200-DT5 does offer an impressive full speed option, it does not feature any type of incline. There are a few treadmill desks on the market that offer minor inclines for added resistance training while you are walking.
