 Awesome Multitasking! January 2, 2009
Kat (Manassas, VA)
27 out of 30 found this review helpful
I've read about some fitness gurus stating that "exercise should be pure and zenlike, not marred by distractions." Let me tell you, walking on a treadmill for a long period of time is boring and far from zen-like. I know that I love to use my laptop because, like the inventor, our tech jobs have invaded our home space. The pay is great but you can't sit at your desk (at home and work) for 12 hours a day and expect to stay in shape. This device allows you to have both. I'm not in the best shape (which is why this is a Christmas present) and I can go up to level 2 while fully using the laptop, and up to normal running speed when watching videos.
I've been in gyms off and on for the past 15 years of my life. It gets REALLY boring and there aren't enough mp3's out there to provide variety. I've changed my workout, changed my song list, watched the gym televisions with headline news, read articles in magazines I would normally not pick up, and spent the entire workout flipping pages on a book or holding it open to actually read the book. Magazines are boring and books usually don't work very well on the treadmill (and I've never mastered the small text/high movement aspect of running-reading).
When I am using the SurfShelf, I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I AM EXERCISING. I feel like I am having fun! I have a skinny little toddler and he does not have an exercise routine, he moves because it is fun to move and he stays naturally skinny. Why do we as adults have to make working out so painful and boring when we can get a low-impact workout surfing the web for an hour and have a great time with it? Think of all the teens who use instant messenger! OMG! Why not use instant messenger while walking? I'm sure we could get a few World of Warcraft guys out there to get into it!
And what about when my boss tells me that I need to log on from home for an entire evening after sitting at my desk for 8 hours? This is a reality for a LOT of people in my line of work where the line blurs between private time and office time. Many of us have home offices or bring our laptops (money makers) to the couch to continue working in the evening. Why not work on it while walking very slowly? I mean 1.0 is very slow on the treadmill, I've seen supermarket conveyor belts with more speed. At 1.0 you could get in a few miles over the course of several hours. I worked on a project where THREE of our engineers had heart attacks within a six month period. I have a very clear vision as to where this lifestyle leads and if I do not start taking care of my health, I will be that person being taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
This provides an alternative to folks who are on the internet for necessity or for entertainment.
You don't have to give up your productivity or enjoyment to get a little movement in your life...you can have both!

Works perfectly. I use it on my Sole Treadmill with a Macbook Air and feel very safe with it. Customer service was also superb. My first order was lost by USPS and when I contacted SurfShelf they sent out a new one immediately.
Working Out While Working June 4, 2009

The Surf Shelf it is a exercise equipment attachment that allows the user to safely use their laptop while working out. It is very versatile because it can be attached to a treadmill, a stationary bike, a stairmaster, or a elliptical machine. I purchased specifically for my treadmill.
Basically, it's a plastic shelf made of a sturdy 100% polycarbonate, "the same stuff used to make bullet-proof glass", designed to hold up to 15 pounds. It comes in two pieces with three straps (two 6" and one 5" with Velcro) and a bevy of instructions to help you attach it to your machine. One to two straps are used to attach it to the machine while the Velcro is used to secure the laptop in place on the shelf.
Other features:
* Air vents to keep laptop cool
* See through panels to see console
* Adjustable angle
* Easy to remove and carry
It took longer to set up than I expected (about 20 plus minutes) but I have no doubt I could move it to another with no problem.
The Surf Shelf is designed to fit most machines "past and present" and while it does fit my machine, which is about eight years old, the essential controls are blocked. The instructions offered a work-around for this but my machine has an awkward console design. But I managed to develop my own work-around that I don't find overly inconvenient compared to the benefit of having this attachment.
It was surprisingly easy to walk and Twitter or check email or read an email book or watch a movie. Doing tasks is definitely easier during the warm up phase but I had no problem doing tasks like typing short messages and reading while moving a bit faster. I was expecting the shelf to bounce around a little but it hardly moved at all. Surf Shelf is also partnered with In-Gym.com to provide free video entertainment and news while working out.
Service wise I was totally impressed at how quickly my Surf Shelf was delivered and they were really quick to respond to questions via email or phone. I absolutely love my Surf Shelf and plan to get in many more hours of surfing and walking. Reviewed by M. E. Wood.
I love my surfshelf! January 14, 2009

I have been waiting for a product like this for so long! I have used my surfshelf almost every day since I got it. It is perfect for my home gym. I have a LifeFitness upright bike, but the surfshelf design/setup is flexible enough to fit almost any piece of equipment. My workouts fly by now, whether I'm catching up on email, or my favorite online content. This product is an essential addition to any home gym!

OMG, I love this. As a busy mom Nap time is the only time I have to catch up on exercise, e-mail, TV etc. With the surf shelf I can do it all at once. When the little one is napping I get in my exercise, catch up on my favorite shows and get my e-mail read. LOVE THIS PRODUCT. Wish it had showed up a few years ago.
