Standing Perspectives

  • “I just love [my stand-up workstation] :) I have told everyone about it. I also love knowing I am burning more calories; now at work I workout every day!!!!!” ~ Gina G.
  • “I am bowing to you and all the folks at Ergotron for this incredible piece of lifesaving ART! After just one day I feel GREAT…it’s so comfortable, and easy to use. Thank you so much!” ~ Gail B.

  • “After years of back pain and the discovery of a significant disk rupture, I decided that I would try to sit less at work.... I never could get comfortable, despite lumbar support, different chairs, etc. Now I’ve been standing at work for over 2 years (yes, I sit occasionally) and my back has never felt better. Thanks for taking a stand on this!” ~ Jennifer K.
  • “I’m standing right now because of my [standing workstation]. I hate sitting all day and I’m burning calories while working!” ~ Rod G.
  • “Although initially it feels awkward to stand in meetings, I am getting used to it and more people are joining me. I am beginning to suggest that meeting rooms have tall tables around the periphery so those who chose to stand have a surface for note taking. We are finding that meetings where people are standing for all or part of the time are energized, productive and don’t last as long—all good!” ~ Linda F.
  • “I always had a challenge getting to my required burned calories per day. I have always been involved in a health improvement program at my office and wear an activity monitor that tracks my calories burned. Once I started [standing] in my office I noticed that my calories burned per day went up by about 400. It seemed that I was reaching my daily goals without even thinking about it. Who would have thought such a simple thing would make such a huge difference.” ~ Clare H.
  • “LOVE LOVE LOVE my [standing workstation]. I’m standing now and it feels great to get my butt out of that chair! All my workouts, yoga, pilates, etc. aren’t ruined at my desk!” ~ Cindy J.
  • “I love my standing workstation—I’m burning 300–500 extra calories by standing all day and my back is SO HAPPY!!!! Small changes can = big results!” ~ Chris Freytag
  • “My back REALLY hurt today; was good to come home to my [standing workstation]. I wouldn’t have been able to work on my blog without it—being able to stand kept me working!” ~ Jean P.
  • “I have been using [my standing workstation] for a month now. It has had a dramatic positive impact on my productivity and wellbeing. Being able to stand while using the computer is the way to go. I have much less fatigue at the end of the day. I really do get more done because of it. There is much less stress on my back and neck muscles. I won’t sit and use a computer at work anymore.” ~ Brad Davis
  • “Everybody take note of what great things come from standing. My friend Joel turned me onto this today. The studies are powerful. So get up now and then, don’t just sit there.” ~ Michelle L.
  • “I am a student and spend long hours sitting at a desk all day studying. I stumbled on this by accident and am proud to say that I shall be standing a lot more as of now.” ~ Jade M.
  • “I was so tired at the end of the day while sitting. Being sedentary really got to me. Been standing for 3 months and love it. Still keep getting funny looks from people in the office. Well worth it!” ~ Jared S.
  • “Just wanted to let you know I'm still loving my [sit-stand] desk set up. I've started training again for my fourth half-marathon and I'm noticing that my legs (hips, ankles, knees) feel much stronger.” ~ Mike B.
“Standing all day and my back is SO HAPPY!!!! Small changes can = big results!”
~ Chris Freytag
