Why use SitZip for your Business?
What the Data Says About Sitting
We often overlook the most significant risk in our offices: the chair. New data is hard to ignore, research in The Lancet reveals that sitting for over 8 hours a day increases the risk of early death by 59%. Even more alarming, a study of nearly 800,000 people found that excessive sitting spikes the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 147%.
Crucially, the "gym paradox" means that working out after hours isn't enough to undo the damage of a sedentary workday. Real protection requires movement during the day. Science shows that 60–75 minutes of moderate activity eliminates these risks. By offering desk bikes, you give your team a practical way to reach this safety goal without stepping away from their work.
Our app pairs with your office desk bikes to track that crucial activity, ensuring your team actually hits their health goals.
Desk bikes do not impact work performance
"The use of an active workstation was associated with a significant improvement in self-reported vigor and a decrease in fatigue... with no significant change in work performance as measured by typing speed or accuracy." (Source: "The effect of active workstations on energy expenditure and job performance," BJSM)
