Movement that survives a house with kids in it.
The Office Walker runs at 33 to 45 dB and has no motor, so nothing hums through a floor to wake them up and no part on it gets hot. I designed it to be absolutely safe to have around my kids at home.
See how many calories you burn in a day
Set your weight, the hours you would walk, and a gentle pace. These are honest estimates and the assumptions are shown underneath.
When do you actually find time to use a walking pad?
30 minutes before the house wakes, and an hour after bedtime. Those are the two windows I as parent actually get, and neither one is long enough to leave the house for. Any plan that needs more than that gets dropped by week three.
Office Walker asks for nothing to start. It is already in the room, it needs no socket, no cables to run around and it makes no sound that carries through a floor.
The only exercise that survives kids is the one that asks for nothing.
I have two. Any plan that needs childcare, a drive, or a clear hour is the first one you drop, and it is not a discipline problem. It is arithmetic.
A slow walk beside the kitchen needs none of that. It is quiet enough for a nap upstairs, safe enough to step off in a hurry, and calm enough to leave in the living room. It fits the day you actually have.
Safe to step off, quiet enough to leave out.
Nothing is pushing the belt along, so stepping off mid walk is instant and there is no part on it that gets hot. It looks like furniture, so it can live in the room your family actually uses.
How do you fit exercise around small children?
By not needing a plan. A plan that needs childcare and a clear hour competes with everything else in the house, and it loses most weeks. That is not you being lazy. That is being a parent.
Movement that needs neither of those is the one that can be done week in week out. It sits in the room you are already standing in, makes no noise through a floor, and stops the instant somebody needs you. Twenty minutes at a time, most days, beats an hour you keep rescheduling.
Movement that fits your busy schedule
Parents ask, honestly answered
It runs at 33 to 45 dB, and a whisper is around 30 dB. There is no motor hum to carry through a floor or a wall. What you hear is your own footsteps on wood.
Nothing is pulling the belt, so it stops the instant your feet do. Getting off mid stride is as undramatic as stepping off a rug.
In the gaps. Twenty minutes before the house wakes, a slow walk through nap time, a restless half hour after bedtime. Nothing to schedule and nothing to set up.
It is wood and steel, in natural, dark or black. I designed it to be treated like furniture and left out in the room, because that is the only version that keeps getting used.
Working from home with a desk job and two little kids meant almost no time for workouts. So I built movement into the desk I was already standing at.

Get your name down for one.
Backers get theirs first. After that the waitlist orders, below the price the store will charge once it opens to everyone. Tens of thousands of people are already on it, so it is worth putting your name down now.
