Trying to squeeze a workout in during office hours is no easy task. Fortunately, companies such as TrekDesk are designing products that can help you do both. At last week’s International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association, TrekDesk demonstrated its flagship product, the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk, which we covered back in 2010.

Another Word in Exercise Desks
Apparently many people have the same idea as we’ve seen numerous attempts at bringing fitness to the office. These have included treadmill desks, elliptical office chairs, an office chair that doubles as a workout machine, and even some desks designed to accommodate a full-sized bicycle. And while all these may allow you to squeeze in a workout while you work, a problem remains… what do you do with the fitness focused desk when you’re not working out?
Here is where the FitDesk Pedal Desk comes in. It is an innovative product that allows a person to exercise comfortably on a stationary bike while using a laptop computer or playing a video game. With the armrest you also use a desktop computer keyboard and set this up front of a regular desk. And when you’re done spinning, the FitDesk has the others beat, because the collapsible design means it can be folded up and put out of sight.
The FitDesk probably isn’t the way you’d spend a full work day, but for those times when you need to squeeze in a ride but can’t get away, you can unfold it and go! Video after the jump
