Kingsmith Walk & Work WalkingPad Under-desk Treadmill

The scoop

Spotted something interesting in the clearance aisle: the Kingsmith Walk & Work WalkingPad Under-desk Treadmill (Item #1872115) is getting the markdown treatment. If you’ve been eyeing a way to sneak more steps into your workday without abandoning your laptop, this compact treadmill might be worth a look.

This isn’t your standard gym treadmill—it’s specifically designed to slide under a standing desk with its slim 16″ x 48″ profile. The speed tops out at 4 mph, which is perfect for walking while typing or taking calls, but don’t expect to train for a 5K on this thing. It’s built for steady movement during work hours, not intense cardio sessions.

Under-desk treadmills typically run anywhere from $300 to $600+ at full retail, so finding one on clearance could represent solid savings if you’ve actually been planning to add walking to your work routine. That said, these are definitely a “know thyself” purchase—they’re amazing if you’ll actually use them, but they become expensive clothes racks pretty quickly if you won’t. The compact size is both a feature and a limitation, depending on your height and stride length.

My guess? January clearance often means making room for new fitness inventory as people’s resolution enthusiasm starts to wane. Kingsmith might be rolling out a newer model, or Costco could be trimming their desk treadmill selection after the post-holiday fitness rush. Either way, clearance items move fast, especially bulkier ones that take up warehouse floor space. If you’re genuinely interested, don’t sleep on this.

This could be a smart pickup if you’re already committed to the standing desk lifestyle and want to level up your activity. Have you tried working while walking, or does the idea of multitasking on a treadmill sound like a recipe for laptop disaster?
