Here’s a neat office chair that lets you work AND work out from home!
I’ll admit the Fitwork made me chuckle a bit but here’s my own personal reality – I’m far from fit. I have odd sleeping hours, work from home, and spend most of my time in front of a screen. Honestly, that’s sort of almost everyone’s realities. Working from home does tend to mess with your circadian cycle, and constantly being cooped up indoors can often affect your mood. Combine them and you’ve got yourself an unhealthy combination – which is precisely what the Fitwork was designed to combat.
Fitwork’s design sort of embodies a no-excuse mentality to being fit. Whether it’s the excuse of ‘being too busy’, or of ‘not wanting to go all the way to the gym’, Fitwork combats it by bringing the gym not just to your house, but to your workspace. Designed as a product to let you work and work out at the same time, this crazy hybrid of a desk-chair and treadmill keeps your legs active while you work. Whether you’re sitting in front of a laptop or standing in front of one, it’s the sedentary lifestyle that Fitwork tackles. The setup (which is sure to grab a few eyeballs) comes with an office chair attached to a treadmill underneath, and an elliptical in front. Coupled with an elevating desk, the Fitwork allows you to keep the lower half of your body active while you work, giving you cardio as well as keeping your spine engaged, whether you’re sitting or standing while working. While you’re sitting, your legs naturally rest on the Fitwork’s elliptical, allowing you to pedal away while typing out emails or attending zoom calls without really anyone knowing what a fitness buff you are. Swivel the chair back and boost your desk upwards and you’ve got yourself a standing workout workspace. Activate the treadmill and you can walk while working… or as I call it, walking the walk while talking the talk.
The Fitwork was designed by Brian Oaks, a designer and entrepreneur who ended up needing chiropractic adjustments and even back surgery because of this sedentary lifestyle. They say the most effective way to design a product is to get into the mind of the person who needs it, and that’s what spurred Oaks to design something that would allow him to stay healthy while managing his own company… or as I call it, keeping yourself running while keeping your business running.
The Fitwork looks to hybridize the home-office by combining it with the home-gym. It occupies a fair bit of space, but that’s probably because it’s a combination of a treadmill, elliptical, ergonomic office chair, and a dynamic desk… and the advantages seem pretty apparent. A healthier lifestyle even if you’re at home behind a desk, plus the entire thing costs like half the price of a Peloton.
Don’t install one in your office though. You want your coworkers thinking you’ve lost weight… not your mind.
