Is there an elliptical machine model that would fit this desk? The arms are a problem, but there must be at least one that would fit!

I own a TrekDesk, and use it with a treadmill. I've been looking at it with your question in mind, and find it difficult to imagine both that one would fit in/under the TrekDesk and that, even if it could, you would find you could actually use the desk from an elliptical. To the fit: Ellipticals tend to be very vertical, and you need the length of the treadmill to be able to set the TrekDesk in front of the treadmill's controls without the depth of the desk taking up too much of the track for you to still be able to walk. To the usefulness: I find I can read at the TrekDesk at speeds of up to 3.8 mph, but if I want to actually work, that is, write or use a mouse, 1.5-2 mph is the most I can do. If your body is shifting up and down on an elliptical, your hands would be even less likely to have the fine motor control you need for either activity. Hope that helps

Probably not. Besides I don't think you could type on a keyboard using the elliptical.

I have the same problem. I thought the desk was not level, and that us why it kept opening , but that is not the case. I love the desk, but that is a flaw that needs to be addressed.

I only 5'2", so can't speak for my experience. However, my room mate is 6'3" and uses it as a cycle sometimes. He doesn't seem to have any problems. I think the stride length would probably be an issue if you wanted to use it as an elliptical.

This machine is actually pretty compact unlike the older elliptical machines were.... it also has wheels on the back for ease of movement. It really wouldn't be hard to move it .

I have a Smoothfitness elliptical and it works with mine. My elliptical has a stepping motion whereas some ellipticals have more of a shuffling motion. Maybe that makes a difference.

You really can't fit a printer in any of the compartments... maybe a tiny one in little space above drawer. Or on top of entire thing. But still a great little desk for the price...I'd buy it again, probably will when it breaks after I move.

Hello Kimberly. There might be another compatible machine, how ever, we can only sell this machine as it is in the picture and we cannot sell it for parts. Sorry for the inconvenient. Hope that helped. Regards

I have the same additional parts and have used the elliptical (w/out problems) even though I have not put the parts on the machine. What exactly do these parts do, and why would the machine function normally without them if they are necessary (perhaps over time you'd have problems...)?

I am also frustrated with this design. I haven't begun looking yet, but my plan is to go to the manufacturer's website & look at schematics for something with straight parts that actually line up when I try to assemble/reassemble it. I will post findings on Amazon. Sorry I can't be of more help at this time.

I have the same problem about ellipticals being made for taller people. I have trouble reaching the handlebars and the stride length is often too long. The only elliptical I've found so far where I can comfortably reach the handlebars is the Precor line used in gyms, which runs about $2000 I think. I think the 576i is the one I like but it's hard to tell by the picture. Their handlebars slope towards the body so I have no problems at all. Their stride length is also comfortable for 5 feet tall.

I have the LX Dual Side-byside arm mounted to my cubicle desk and it does not articulate up that high (my configuration max is about 1 ft.)Goto http://www.ergotron.com website and look at the 24-312-026 "Work-fit-A Dual Monitor Sit-Stand workstation. After looking/asking/finding what you want, search Amazon for item to purchase. BTW, I purchase my Ergotron LX Dual from Amazon and have been very happy with the purchase experience and product for the past (3) three years.

I barely bike and use the arm work out at the same time. You can do the elliptical and use the arm . When i bike i just hold the handle. Good luck and have fun

Yes, that's exactly what the desk is for. The Rebel Desk treadmill is designed to go with the desk!

haven't had that problem yet. i'm sure i will though. this thing has been a nightmare from the day i received it in that mangled box they delivered it in. definitely learned my lesson. don't be a cheap bastard when buying equipment that is normally expensive. a good reliable elliptical should cost around 3k or more. this thing is a joke. sorry i don't have a better answer regarding the display.

It cannot-it seems to be essentially a left handed desk. Which is what we were looking for, so it works for us. Hope that helps!

I'm sorry I'm unable to answer your question, I looked at the elliptical unit, I didn't see a anything stamped Made By anywhere on it. I was also unable to locate the instruction manual.

I don't know. Workout is NOT as intense as an elliptical though. So far have only kept track of my time on it.
