StepDesk: The Origin Story
In May, I, Keleigh, dreamed out loud to Elias about how nice it would be to have a desk attachment for my treadmill so I could walk while I'm working.
I've been working from home, running my business for four years and one thing has been consistently true: Sitting all day is the worst. It makes my back hurt, my shoulder hunch, and leaves me consistently wishing I could just get up and move.
A few days later, he suspiciously became overly interested in my treadmill, particularly it's dimensions. Shortly after my dreams came true: He built me an attachment that could convert my treadmill into a walking desk!
After sharing, simply to brag about my handy hubby, in a Facebook group for treadmill owners StepDesk was born. Out of sheer necessity...
It turns out that the back pain, extra energy, and need for movement that I'd been experiencing over the past 4 years as a business owner working at a desk all day was quickly becoming the norm as more and more people were forced to work from home.
Since May, over 200 StepDesks have been build for Treadmills across the United States.
