Not to mention, you run the risk of being late to work as a result. Or you could stop by the gym on your way home from work, but after a long day at the office, it can be hard to find the motivation to get in a good workout.

Our Dislikes
LifeSpan TR1200 DT5 Treadmill Desk users are praising everything about their machine, from its customizable design and quiet operation, to how it’s packaged for shipping and the straightforward assembly.
-
Despite all of this praise from loyal users, there is one complaint that many of them share: the beeping. Even though the machine was designed to be so quiet that your coworkers won’t even realize that you’re walking on it, some users report that their machine comes with controls that beep every time you select an option.
-
The good news is that this seems to be an older feature that no longer comes standard with the latest machines, as the first complaints about the beeps appeared in online forums in 2014, and there have been no reports of beeps from 2016 onward. If the beeps are a genuine concern for you, consider foregoing an older used model and get the latest one from Amazon.com.
