The LifeSpan TR1200 is the best-selling office treadmill suitable for most users who plan to walk and work together.
The quiet and compact treadmill fits under standing desks, making a treadmill desk simple. The TR1200 has a large motor, a wide walking belt, and a slim design. It comes with a retro console that is simple and easy to use. You get readouts for steps, time, distance, calories, and speed.
FIRST EXPERIENCE
Construction
It’s ready to use right out of the box and has a conveniently low-profile design.
The TR1200’s 131 lb frame outperforms all other treadmill frames in this price range. It has more metal and more robust rectangular tubing. A sturdy walking deck ensures years of walking.
The LifeSpan treadmill desks have powerful motors, large rollers, and spring-mounted motor mounts that keep the drive belt tensioner.
The LifeSpan TR1200-DT3’s modern design and durable construction make it ideal for your office.
The TR1200 measures are 63″L x 28.5″W x 7.25″T. The walking belt is 20″W x 50″L allowing for a comfortable stride. A protective low-profile motor hood on the front keeps the treadmill quiet.
Motor
It has a 2.25 HP Turdan motor. At 48.9 dB., this is the quietest LifeSpan treadmill which is also the most silent in its price range. The only noise is the belt moving along the deck and the user’s steps.
The motor is ideal for an office treadmill or a home office.
Speed & Incline
You can customize your treadmill desk. Choose between 2.0 and 4.0 MPH maximum speed, resume previous speed, change units of measure.
When you leave the walking belt, Intelli-Guard stops it. The Intelli-Step pedometer feature counts your steps as you walk. The TR1200 has a desk console to control the treadmill’s speed.
The TR1200 lacks an incline or decline, which is ideal for an under-desk treadmill. In front of a desk, an angle can affect your posture. The TR1200 supports an excellent walking stride while you work.
Faster than two mph makes it challenging to type, write, or even read at a desk. Most under-desk treadmills only go up to 2 mph, so you have the option of choosing between 2 or 4 mph speed.
It has a front safety key that is required to operate the console. If you remove the safety key, the treadmill stops. Clip it to your clothes, and it gets disengaged if you fall or step off, stopping the treadmill immediately.
Console & Display
The LifeSpan TR1200-DT3 desk console weighs 3 pounds and is designed for easy access. It has large buttons, a single metric display with settings and fits most standing desks.
The red LED display is easy to read from any angle. Use the mode button to select a readout.
Tracking time, step count, belt speed, distance, and calories is simple with a clear numerical display.
It has all the essential treadmill functions. An easy-to-use USB port lets you charge your phone.
The treadmill has an On/Start button and up and down buttons to see calories, speed, steps, etc. Besides, there are several settings, including time, distance, and weight. The console will display the selected metric’s readout.
Easy to Move
At 114 pounds, the TR1200 is surprisingly light for a treadmill. Besides, it has two front-mounted transport wheels for easy lifting and rolling for proper under-desk positioning.
You are advised not to move the treadmill between closets or offices regularly. Move the treadmill occasionally to get the best results.

STABILITY
Running Track
The TR1200 has a 50″L x 20″W belt that allows you more movements. It is also better for individuals who have more than average weight.
Though a wide track increases the unit’s footprint, power consumption, and noise, it is better for comfort and safety.
As the walking desk treadmill’s step-up height reduces your standing desk’s height range, the low 4.6″ height helps you get the best ergonomic desk position. Besides, the 4.6-inch step-up height is easy to get on and off.
Six shock absorbers under the deck provide joint support and cushioning while walking. Office shoes generally have less cushioning, so the TR1200 deck is more supportive and comfortable.
It has a 3/4-inch thick walking belt, black non-slip side rails, and a cushioned deck. The side rails are slightly higher than the belt, preventing foot slippage.
SAFETY
The Intelli-Guard safety mechanism turns the belt off when you step off it. Without manually turning off the treadmill, you can leave your desk and return without stepping on a moving belt. It takes some time to get used to this comfort. It is also helpful during work from home if there are kids and pets.
RELIABILITY
There are so many features to make this treadmill highly reliable.
The 2.25 HP motor is powerful enough for long-term use of the treadmill. Similarly, it is reliable enough for 6 hours of daily walking.
For your safety, the treadmill stops by itself if you step off it and starts only when you step on it again.
The height of the belt is only 4.6″ so that it is easy for you to get up and off it.
Weight & Weighing Capacity
The TR1200 is 114 lbs and more than powerful enough for users up to 350 lbs. who can walk for 6 hours a day.
To maintain the hours of use, the maintenance of the treadmill should be as per the company guidelines.
