New Exercise Equipment to Want

Treading Lightly

Walkstation
Price: $4,000 - $5,000
One of Perdue Office Interiors’ newest pieces is a combination treadmill and workstation. The Walkstation can be outfitted with a computer so employees can work while exercising — at a maximum speed of 2 mph. It is designed by Details, a Steelcase company, and the Mayo Clinic to promote fitness in the office place. “It doesn’t operate like a treadmill in a fitness center,” says Vince McCormack, president and CEO of the Jacksonville-based office furniture supplier. “It’s just to burn calories while you return e-mails or phone calls.” McCormack has had one installed for his employees. “From our standpoint, it lets our employees know we care about their wellness,” he says. Perdue has sold several in the six months the Walkstation has been on the market.
