Product Description

SurfShelf Desk for Treadmills, Bikes and Elliptical Trainers

Welcome to the SurfShelf - The Original Exercise Desk

My name is Randy and I've been making the SurfShelf since 2008. We were the first exercise machine desk on the market and have sold tens of thousands of units to happy customers worldwide.

The SurfShelf is a portable desk that fits most TREADMILLS, EXERCISE BIKES, AND ELLIPTICAL TRAINERS. Its patented design fits all three types of exercise machines with a single product.

Compatibility: The SurfShelf requires that the exercise machine include a control console to rest on. The SurfShelf also does not work well with really small rounded consoles.

If you are unsure how the SurfShelf will fit your particular machine, I will work with you one-on-one to get you up and running.

As a one-man show, each and every one of my customers is extremely valuable to me... without happy customers, I wouldn't have a business. Weekdays, weekends, morning, noon and night, I'm here to help!

Fits Treadmills, Bikes and Elliptical Trainers. And it's portable. Fits in your gym bag to take to the gym.

Perfect solution for what I was wanting.
5 Stars
Perfect solution for what I was wanting.
This tray is universal, so it can take some thinking in order to find a good positioning of the strap(s) that mount it to whatever equipment you want to use it on. It's works great though; it's not a must to strap in a laptop on the tray part because it's very stable but it will prevent an accident. Highly recommend.
