Treadmill Desk Workstation Information
What is a Treadmill Desk Workstation?
A treadmill desk workstation is a workspace that utilizes a treadmill and a treadmill desk as an option for a workspace, which could allow employees to be "in motion/active" while still performing their regular job responsibilities and complete nearly any job duty or task they would do normally at a standard desk.
