Called “absolutely perfect” and “one of my best purchases this year,” this dual-sided under-desk walking pad by Anylife lets you stretch your legs as you’re working, get knots and tightness out of your feet and even jog or run indoors. Recently retailing for $139.99, it’s currently on sale for Cyber Monday for as much as 38% off, with the black and red version giving you the best deal.
Reviewers love being able to get their steps in even when the weather isn’t that great.
Less than four inches tall, with built-in wheels, it slides under your couch or table, and can be easily moved around your home so you can get your steps in anywhere. Reviewers especially appreciate this machine in cold weather, letting them get some movement in their day without braving the winter or going to the gym. Whether you set it up at your desk, television or just your favorite room in your house, users say “time flies” when you’re walking on it, so much so, it “doesn’t even feel like I’m working out.”
“...Was ready to go straight out of the box, no assembly besides the feet if you need them. Easy to work, relatively quiet,” one wrote. “...I love this for the winter or when it is raining. I can use it in my office and it does not bother anyone. No matter what’s going on I can get some exercise and have even used it during zoom calls. When I’m done with it it’s easy to hide away because its so compact.”
The machine has a 330-pound weight capacity, and is made with silicone shock pads, a four-layer running belt and six shock absorbers to keep your knees and joints protected and supported as you move. With a 5-degree manually adjustable incline, you can decide how intense you want your walk to be, and the speeds range from 0.6 miles per hour to 4 mph, allowing you to leisurely walk, jog or run. Users especially enjoy the handy remote control, which is stored right in the machine when you’re not using it, that lets you dictate your speed without bending over. And the LED display clearly shows you how long and far you’ve walked, how fast you’re going and how many calories you’ve burned. Note: You want to wear shoes when walking or running on this side.
But this one doesn’t just help you exercise, it also has massaging capabilities for aching feet.
With this buy, you’re not just getting a walking pad. When you’re done walking or jogging, or just want to give your feet a little TLC, you can flip the machine over to expose a textured walking surface with raised bumps, designed to hit pressure points on your piggies as you walk. The massage cycle is set for 10 minutes and runs at a reduced speed (0.6-1.5 mph), to bring relief and release to tired feet. The brand recommends using this side barefoot or in thin socks to get the most from the textured surface.
When flipping sides, per the brand: turn the treadmill off completely, turn the unit over, then adjust the belt tension with the included Allen wrench to ensure seamless walking. Some reviews say the textured side can be quite intense for your feet at first, though “my feet got used to it & now love it!” One reviewer compares this side to “walking on a textured floor,” saying their feet feel “great” while walking and “makes so much noise with all the knots being worked.”
If you like your appliances to be versatile and easy to store, not to mention under $90, grab the Anylife walking pad and massager today, before the price spikes back up.

“I LOVE this walking pad. It goes the perfect speed before you have to start running. I also love that there is an incline to it for a harder brisk walk. I really have been using it a lot during the cold winter months. Super easy to use - unbox, plug, and start walking!” — maria
“The massage side is more like walking on textured floor. It only lets you 10min at time and at a slow pace which is fine because the massage would be harder to walk faster. When I’m done doing the massage side, my feet feel great and while I’m doing it my feet makes so much noise with all the knots being worked. The other side lets you go faster foot pace. The incline doesn’t really seem to be there. It’s a slight slight incline so don’t expect too much with that. This is perfect for a post surgery recovery being able to get steps in during the winter time and easy and compact. My child is two and loves walking on it too!” —
“I can’t say enough good things about this walking pad! It’s quiet, smooth, and perfect for getting my steps in while working or watching TV. Setup was super easy — I had it running within minutes. The compact design makes it easy to store under my bed or sofa, and it’s surprisingly sturdy for its size. I’ve noticed a real boost in my energy and focus since using it daily. Definitely one of my best purchases this year — highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay active at home!” — Reginald B.
“The best part of this is how lightweight and compact it is. I have had the gym style with the big control panel and rails, and it was so heavy, bulky and always in the way. This sharp little walking pad is comfortable to walk on. There are pads under the moving track that helps give some cushion to help reduce ankle or leg stress and pain. The incline is enough to give the feel of going up hill but not so drastic it’s like climbing a hill. I would recommend this for any one that likes to walk but would prefer to stay indoors.” — Duane Browder
