Can you put a reading stand on this trainer as I like to read while I am used to reading while on my treadmill that I am replacing. workout

I'm not sure. It depends how the stand would be attached. You could remove the cushion in the middle and perhaps attach it to the arm that held it.

I don't see how that could work. The only thing that could POSSIBLY work would be a music stand in front of the air walker... and even that would be tough because of the distance.

Susan, No, there is no surface. This was a lot of fun and didn't take up too much space. I enjoyed it so much, and the quiet was wonderful, whereas I had to have TV ears to hear over the treadmill motor. Unfortunately, I must return it. I stayed on for forty minutes and sprained my right ankle so badly with the motion, that I cannot use this form of excersize. Probably just me. I already had a problem with that ankle. This just did it in. Don't let that discourage you. Joyk

Of course you can. Ingenuity and some household materials will go a long way in turn your strider into an exercise and reading platform.There is more than one way, so however you want to implement it is up to you.

No. The stand will keep the bike upright. With the weight of a rider on the seat, it would tip over and probably damage your rear wheel. A proper trainer would probably be what you would need. Perhaps your could borrow one.

No, I don't think you could put this on a treadmill. The base is around 6 inches wide and curved. the lamp sits in the curved part and is supported by two wide feet.

Th book stand already offers a wide range of angles (the back leg is adjustable). But yes, I have on occasion put another book or something under the back leg to get a greater angle and it works just fine (although slightly more unstable). Hope that helps!

I suppose it would be possible depending on how tight you wore the EquiFit but I can't imagine that there would be any benefit.... Unless you wanted to wear it will walking or on a treadmill to remind yourself to stand up straight. If you were doing strenuous exercise it would be uncomfortable and since the point is to remind you to stand up straight and create new muscle memory, I am not sure that during exercise is the best time for that. It would be better to use it will sitting (hunching) over your desk or computer or driving, times when the tendency to forget proper alignment is easiest.

Yes but it does take some getting used to, coordination. Since the side-by-side treadles are different than a single platform treadmill, anyone would need to start slow, lower level of effort until you find it to be comfortable. Fortunately it's adjustable for any effort level and pace.

When you raise the desk, it moves toward you a few inches. I don't use it with a treadmill. I think you're asking if it will do that, and so the answer is a conditional yes. I'm out of town now so I can't be more definitive. If you can wait until Friday, I'll give you more detail.

The desk is a completely separate assembly, so you could leave them off if you wanted to. But if you only need a basic treadmill, there are other options that are probably cheaper.

Although I have not tried placing a newspaper on the stand, it should work as well as it does with a book. The two arms on the face of the bookstand should hold a newspaper snugly.

You do not have to use your arms. But it would take someone far more graceful than I to hold a book and read while doing this. I suspect you would be likely to fall off. Your arms help you balance even if you aren't "using" them

no, not on a treadmill you would have to sit it on something next to treadmill

I own a reformer without a stand and I used to take lessons on a Performer in a Pilates studio that was on a stand. I find exercising on either pretty much interchangeable - I don't think the stand is at all necessary.

I just received the Smooth Fitness 565i two weeks ago, and I am having the same problem as your wife. The book holder is too far away and at too flat of an angle for me to be able to read. The book holder was an important feature for me, but it is useless. The Smooth Fitness people told me that this is a brand new model. The console has been re-designed so that it has a lower profile and extends out more. I did not see any reports of people having problems reading on the previous model, so I am guessing that the new model has the book holder further away from the individual. Please let me know what you find out about a book holder for this treadmill.

yes. at the moment, i am reading a small paperback book while using the bookstand. but, before reading a new paperback, i always take the time to fold back each page. this way the book stays more "flat" and is easier to handle, whether in a bookstand or in your hand.

Yes you can. Simply get ahold of manufacturer and they'll mail you replacements for free. Great customer service. I broke mine on accident as well... it's the cheapest part of the stand unfortunately

Hi,yes there is a stand where you can put your music book. But this stand is not easy, you need to have music book with wire-o binding otherwise pages closes

I use the treadmill under my regular desk. I purchased the TALL Speedy Standup Desk here on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B5SY94E/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) to elevate my laptop. Be sure to get the TALL version, as the extra few inches compensate for the height of the treadmill. The desk is really sturdy and it works great for me.
