The Sit-to-Walkstation from Steelcase is a 2-in-1 workstation that allows users to walk, stand or sit while on the job. Since exercise helps increase productivity, the Sit-to-Walkstation seems to be the way to go for office decor. This workstation comes with a built-in electrical height adjuster and display to show how many calories were burned on the job. **Implications** - It's ideal for busy business men and women, who find little time outside of work, to exercise. They can now multi-task, completing their paperwork while doing pilates. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fitness Desks:** Fitness desks enable users to work while exercising which can increase productivity. - **Hybrid Workstations:** Hybrid workstations provide users with the flexibility to stand, sit, or walk while working. - **Connected Workout Equipment:** Connected workout equipment with built-in sensors and displays help users track their fitness progress while working. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Industry:** The furniture industry has the opportunity to develop and market innovative and ergonomic fitness desks for the office. - **Health and Fitness Industry:** The health and fitness industry can partner with furniture manufacturers to create connected workout equipment that integrates with hybrid workstations. - **Technology Industry:** The technology industry can develop wearable fitness and health tracking devices that integrate with hybrid workstations and connected workout equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Wooden Desk Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-walker.md) - [Standing Desk Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standing-desk-workstations.md) - [Multifunctional Home Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesmart-tm2202.md) - [Foldable Under-Desk Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkingpad-a1-pro.md) - [App-Connected Desk Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walking-pad-treadmill.md) - [Adjustable Laptop Desk Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitstand-desk1.md) - [Multifunctional Standing Work Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boundary-desk-1.md) - [Freestanding Vertical Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workstick.md) - [Professional Posture-Tracking Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norm-model-b-desk.md)
