    Walkolution founders Ackermann and Söhngen

    Once upon a time in 2005, a visionary medical student named Eric Soehngen crafted the very first prototype of what we now know as the treadmill desk. Fast forward to 2017, when Dr. Eric Soehngen, now a senior medical doctor, alongside his trusty companion Frank Ackermann, established Walkolution, weaving their innovation into reality.

Walking is the best medicine.

Sedentary lifestyles are the modern-day equivalent of smoking, with far-reaching health implications beyond back pain and weight gain. Our susceptibility to life-threatening diseases such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, depression, and dementia spike significantly due to excessive sitting. Regrettably, viable alternatives to counteract this problem remain elusive, despite the abundance of scientific evidence highlighting its risks.

In our sedentary world, practical solutions to counteract the health risks associated with sitting for long periods remain outside the norm. Enter the innovative concept of walking while working. Aside from sleeping, the hours people spend at work are often the most sedentary of their day and are disregarded as a time that one could get their daily steps in. Walkolution aims to change that attitude by allowing simultaneous work and activity, benefiting not just physical health, but cognition as well.

But this isn't your average treadmill and desk situation. Picture a stylish, eco-friendly setup designed for ultimate noise reduction, with intuitive speed control that adjusts with your every move. Imagine a depth-adjustable table, perfect for stopping and leaning, as you please. This seamless integration of movement and productivity lets your mind flourish, enhancing your mental potential without stealing focus. Step into the future of workspace wellness!


With a growing international team, Walkolution is writing a new chapter in German innovation history.
