full product description for the iMovR ThermoTread GT walking workstation

1. No Membrane Keypads Here
A sure sign that a treadmill was designed by a gym
equipment engineer is if its desktop console is a
membrane keypad. Membrane buttons stand up to cardio
exercisers’ dripping sweat but they tend to degrade
prematurely with continuous use. The bigger downside to
membrane buttons, however, is their fixed functionality. In
contrast to all other treadmill desk units on the market, the
ThermoTread GT employs a touch-screen LCD, housed in a
sleek console that doesn’t look out of place with the other
technological devices found on the modern office desktop.
The console contains a powerful computer and a USB port
to for easy downloading of future software upgrades. All
the basic functionality is there today to display walking
speed, distance, time, calorie burn and other performance
statistics, just as you’d expect. But that’s where the com-
monality with existing treadmill desks ends. No one enjoys
pressing twenty buttons to restart their treadmill just
because they stepped away for a few minutes. With the
intuitive touch-screen user interface of the ThermoTread’s
desktop console our engineers were able to make the
displays faster to navigate, and to store and retrieve user
preferences and usage info easily.

THERMOTREAD GT
™
The New Leader in Office Fitness
Once upon a time the first treadmill desk was created
through the marriage of an adjustable-height desk and
a cannibalized running treadmill base. That was more
than eight years ago. Yet since then every treadmill
desk in the world has been made using the same
recipe. Every walking base sold as a “treadmill desk” has
its roots in gym equipment, as evidenced by footprint,
noise signature, console design and motor gearing
ratios.
iMovR is proud to introduce the ThermoTread GT – the
first treadmill desk base designed from the ground
up to live in an office environment, not a gym. From
upgraded componentry to a sleek, touch-screen LCD
desktop console, to its ability to interact with personal
performance tracking and corporate wellness software
in the cloud (via optional CloudStation available 2016),
the ThermoTread GT is to existing treadmill desks as the
Starship Enterprise is to the RMS Queen Mary. Both will
transport you from point A to point B, but only one has
warp drive and photon torpedoes.
• The first “clean sheet” design of a walking treadmill
base geared specifically for the office, not the gym
• Quieter, smaller, more powerful, and more feature-
rich than any other office treadmill
• Smartphone-like, touch-screen desktop console
• Built to last: Premium componentry, “future-proof”
software and extensive warranty coverage
• Optional iMovR CloudStation (available 2016)
connects ThermoTread to the Internet of Things
• Perfectly balances drivetrain reliability with power
consumption efficiency

2. A More Powerful Treadbase, for
Many Years of Reliable Use
Some first-generation treadmill desks are known to
have shorter service lives than one would expect. Why?
Taking a treadmill geared for running and walking very
slowly on it for long periods of time is likely to result in
premature motor or controller board burnout. Sauntering
on a treadmill desk at a pace of only 1 - 2 mph requires
the motor to overcome the immense friction of pulling
a dead weight on a rubber belt across a laminated deck.
A treadmill designed for a top speed of 12 mph will only
have one-sixth to one-twelfth of its rated horsepower at
typical treadmill desk walking speeds, imposing a heavy
strain on the drivetrain. The fact that most users neglect
to periodically lubricate their treadmills shortens the life
of these components even further.
The ThermoTread GT doesn’t pretend to be a dual-use
office/gym treadmill. While that’s a great marketing
concept our competitors like to promote, our engineers
know that you just can’t have your cake and eat it too.
The ThermoTread was designed just for office walking.
We made the top speed only 2.5 mph, and ideally geared
its high-torque drivetrain (rollers, flywheel, pulley, etc.)
for office walking speeds, with a massive 3.0 horsepower,
4000 RPM DC motor at its core.
Next, we upgraded the deck from the cheaper melamine
and phenolic materials used on competing treadmills to
a superior 1”-thick Bakelite material. We added guides to
keep the walking belt from shifting around and scraping
the side rails. We added a cooling fan to keep motor
temperatures under control even if the treadmill is under
round-the-clock use, but made it so silent you can’t even
tell it’s running. Since no one will ever run or even walk
briskly on a ThermoTread, we shortened the deck in order
to gain back precious floor space that other units steal
away. We even lowered the treadmill deck to maximize
desk stability and minimize obstruction.
You get the picture. The ThermoTread is quieter than
the least-noisy competing treadmill base (the LifeSpan
TR-1200), by a whopping 6+ decibels. It has a shorter,
lower profile and is built with more reliable componentry
than any other walking base on the market. ThermoTread
GT consumes half the power and is dramatically quieter
than the LifeSpan TR-5000, since it doesn’t require an AC
inverter and the noisy continuous fan to keep it cool.
Even though it costs $500 less than the TR-5000, the
ThermoTread GT looks just as nice, if not nicer, with its
all-aluminum side rails.
The Lawyers are Gonna Love This Part
Lawyers, often chained to a desk for most of their day, have been
among the earliest adopters of treadmill desks. But ironically, in-
house lawyers have often been unwilling to sanction their use within
the corporate realm, over concern for potential employer liability. It’s
easy to understand given the thousands of treadmill injury claims
that are filed each year and the many examples of reckless treadmill
escapades one can find on YouTube. In designing the ThermoTread
GT we consulted with lawyers, insurers, corporate customers and
engineers to completely overcome this concern once and for all.
First, our treadmill base is UL certified to never exceed 2.5 mph.
While virtually all treadmill injuries happen at much higher speeds,
either through mishap or through cardio exhaustion, no injury claim
has ever been reported at such sauntering speeds.
Second, before activating power to the treadmill, our console
requires the user to click off on a liability waiver, just like they do
when using the GPS nav system in their car. This exclusive feature
of iMovR treadmill desks protects your organization from unsafe
operation and potential liability, while creating a contemporaneous
record of all equipment usage. No other treadmill desk in the world
has this feature, designed specifically for use in business and public
space environments. Now the lawyers can share their love for
treadmill desks, without reservation.
This is Just the Beginning
As it stands today the ThermoTread GT is a gutsy
standalone treadmill base with lots of smarts, which can
be used with any height-adjustable desk. Next year it will
become an appliance on the “Internet of Things” (IoT),
with the addition of our optional iMovR CloudStation.
Here’s a preview of what this remarkable, patent-pending
device is going to allow you to do…
The CloudStation will come in the form of a long power
bar, to be installed underneath the desk. The treadmill,
electric desk, and all electrical devices on your desktop
will be able to plug into the CloudStation, all neat and
tidy. Each power plug is software controlled so you can
set single-touch power conservation modes, such as
turning everything off as you leave the office, except for
that laptop charger you’d like to keep on.
The power plug for the treadmill itself works like a
cardiogram, precisely monitoring the health of the
treadmill and the usage profile of the user by interpreting
current fluctuations generated by the user’s footsteps.
With it, we can measure distance, speed and step count,
and upload it to the iMovR cloud with extreme precision,
and without skipping a beat. While all popular fitness
sensors (e.g. FitBit) significantly underreport treadmill
desk usage, and other treadmills have flaky Bluetooth
connections to laptop software, not a single step will go
uncounted or incorrectly measured when using the iMovR
CloudStation. Best of all, this happens automatically,
without requiring the user to remember to sync their
session data with a ready laptop each and every time.
Once this data is in the cloud it can be shared with
corporate wellness software platforms, personal fitness
sensor software, and a variety of applications that iMovR
is developing for enterprise customers, such as ROI
analysis and resource utilization reports. Furthermore,
using the CloudStation will extend the life of your
equipment and reduce your power bills, by measuring
friction levels in the treadmill and notifying you when it’s
time to lubricate. No more guesswork.
Once a user sets up their profile in the iMovR cloud -
along with preferred treadmill speeds, desk height and
monitor height - they’ll be able to log into any iMovR
treadmill desk, anywhere in the world, and immediately
get to work at their ideal ergonomic position, while
having every step they take automatically recorded to
their online profile. While the standalone ThermoTread
GT is limited to 5 user profiles, an infinite number of users
will be able to log into any iMovR treadmill desk that has a
CloudStation connection.

No other company offers as many adjustable-height workstation models than iMovR. We’ve designed these desks for optimal
ergonomics, whether sitting, standing or walking - and to
accommodate an optional treadmill base.
All our desktops are ergo-contoured and made using the most
advanced 3D lamination technology in the industry - in eleven
standard colors (right) and over sixty custom colors. Even the grommet holes are fully 3D-laminated, giving
our tops the elegant look of natural hardwood, while protecting them from scratches, dings and chemicals
better than any other laminate technology. All desks are built-to-order within 5-7 business days.
Our ThermoDesk line offers both manual and electric desks, in widths ranging from 42” to 83”, and are
pre-drilled for attaching an ergonomic keyboard tray. Our Omega line features our patented SteadyType™
keyboard tray built right into the desk. SteadyType eliminates “palm anchoring stresses” when typing while
walking, resulting in improved ergonomics, typing accuracy and typing speed, while enhancing the stability
of the entire desk. All our electric desks feature anti-collision technology and whisper-quiet dual precision
motors. In 72” and 83” widths all our electric models can accommodate a treadmill and office chair side-by-
side with room to spare, for the ideal sit-stand-walk workstation.
