Live Better. Move More.
walking room is developed with a clear mission. We want to empower and inspire human beings to live healthier and active lives. To do so, we need to revolutionise traditional workplace environments by developing human-centered products. Manufacturing world’s biggest treadmill of 13 square meters, where people can come together to walk, meet, and collaborate is the first step.
Humans are designed to move, and yet every aspect of modern life seems to push us to a more and more sedentary lifestyle. Because in 2010, people sat an average of 6 hours per day. By 2020, this was closer to 9,5 hours.
The list of health issues associated with a lack of movement is never ending. There are plenty of knock-on effects and disease from obesity and heart disease, to diabetes and mental health that are flying under the radar too.
Sitting is the new smoking, and if sitting down as much as we do these days affects us as much as smoking does. Let’s change the way we work forever by focussing on the cardinal element of life.
We conducted together with the University of Applied Science in Amsterdam a quantitative survey research of 170 respondents from different industries with a sedentary job. People are done sitting and want to have more physical activity in their routine.
