Does it work well with a treadmill desk?

what if you want to use the desk to support an ipad for viewing movies, etc.?

Absolutely not. You need a motorized treadmill. One hand has to be on the handlebars, if not both. Also, due to the built-in elevation, it becomes anaerobic. Breathing that hard makes it difficult to focus on anything but exercise.

For a laptop desk/support that's designed to use with a treadmill or exercise machine, do a google search for 'airdesk' - they have a model that can raise up your laptop to 60+ inches. Hope this helps!EDIT: Multitable has a treadmill version on their website as well- try searching for 'ModTable Treadmill Desk' for more info. Edit2: on further inspection, that has a treadmill built into it, so probably not what you are looking for.

I have not done that myself, but some reviewers stated that it worked for them. The treadmill has a very low profile, which requires a sturdy mat underneath, especially on carpet. I believe the 2x4 would work, as long as the belt does not rub on the opposite end.

The treadmill is 70" long but the legs of the desk extend another 2-3" in front of it. The treadmill itself is 27" wide and the width with the desk legs straddling it is 36" wide. The the desk top is 46" wide so you need to have space for that. I have the unit sitting on a 36" x 78" mat. BTW, there is not much assembly to do done. It's really setting the desktop onto the legs and the rolling the treadmill over these knobs of sort on the inside of the desk legs so that the treadmill doesn't move.

Good question. For hight this was the reason I went with this desk. Not only did it fit over the treadmill I already had, but the two knobs on the legs allowed me to adjust to what ever hight I wanted. The drawback is that in order to change the hight, I needed to walk the desk away from the treadmill and change the hight.

Yes. my wife and I run on this everyday. A very good price for a quality treadmill.

I don't know if I understand your question. I purchased a gym mat and placed the treadmill on top of it. I have an impression that I could just have placed the treadmill directly on my carpet and that it would work fine. Please elaborate further if you'd like more help.

Hi there. Yes there is an clip that you can attach to your clothing and if you stumble, it would pull out and stop treadmill. I would definitely want it where you had a bar or desk type setting where you can rest your hands arms. No just an open area with nothing to grab. Works great for me under my stand up desk.

I only use mine on a treadmill and have had no problems at all with it. It comes with 2 batons which you strap the buttons 2 also I have put Velcro on the back of my iPad and to the display of my treadmill so that I can watch what I need to to play the games. I would recommend this as it makes my workout go much quicker and I have run for longer times than I have ever done before.

I use the mat on our 2nd floor over carpet for a road bike w/trainer, and it works well. Not sure it's designed to absorb sound, I purchased it to prevent damage to my carpet. Hopefully you are ordering a wider version of the mat I have, or your treadmill is narrow, because I'm not sure this exact mat is wide enough to support an average sized treadmill.

The only issue that I see is that it may not be wide enough. Check to make sure your treadmill isn't wider than 36 inches.

Yes it does. Just plug in the port from your earphones into the treadmill from your device. The treadmill rocks.

I was wondering the same thing so did some searching on Amazon and found the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill, which is very reasonably priced as well as gotten good reviews. One of the first reviews talks about it being perfect for a treadmill desk!

I am not sure of the problem you are describing. If your treadmill is moving quite vigorously because the floor is incredibly uneven, such that moving the arms back and forth causes the machine to move side to side or front to back, then I am not sure this mat will solve the problem. If the problem is merely that the machine is slipping to and fro on the floor (such as because the floor is slanted one way or is incredibly slick), then I think the mat would solve that problem.

Thank you for all the information. I was looking at purchasing this for a treadmill desk as well, so glad to see someone else had done the same!

I would advise no. Balance is essential on this treadmill and I found having both hands securely in place necessary.
