Wired's tests find the Urevo CyberPad is the best walking pad for WFH workouts

Wired's remote team has completed a round of testing on underdesk walking pads, and their top recommendation is the Urevo CyberPad for Home. The device stood out for its impressive 14-percent incline capability, which allows for a more intense workout while working.

For founders and builders stuck at a desk, the constant sitting is a known health drag. Walking pads offer a way to stay active without leaving your workspace, potentially boosting energy, mood, and cardiovascular health. The publication's testers spent serious hours walking and jogging on various models to find options that are worth the space and investment.

The CyberPad earned its "Best Overall" title for its durability, easy setup, and app-controlled tracking. Its standout feature is the steep incline rare among such compact machines. The review notes it’s solid underfoot and comes with wheels for moving its 71-pound frame, though its height makes storing it under furniture difficult.

Wired also highlighted the highly foldable WalkingPad C2 and the versatile Urevo Strol 2S Pro in its updated guide. The team added a warning to avoid one specific model due to recent safety recalls, underscoring the importance of checking current reviews for this growing product category.
