Pros of the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill

The pros of the TITAN Under desk treadmill:

Low price
Small footprint

If you want to self build a treadmill desk, you can do this fairly cheap by ordering from TITAN. Combine the under desk treadmill with the A2 single motor sit to stand desk and you have a treadmill desk for under $1000. It won't be the prettiest, fanciest, and have the most features, but it will do the deed for under $1000.

Cons of the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill

The cons of the TITAN under desk treadmill are:

Not for running
Can not fold
Minimal computer unit

The TITAN under desk treadmill is not ideal for running fast. As with most under desk treadmills, they are designed for a very slow walking pace and will not take a prolonged heavy pounding. Especially if you are a big athlete you should be careful.

Compared to other under desk treadmill models the TITAN version can not fold up. If your desk setup should be permanently able to have a treadmill setup that is fine. If you want to change around often you might want to look for a foldable option instead.

The computer of the under desk treadmill is pretty simple and does not incorporate any kind of extras. All it does is that it shows your the steps, calories, or distance you have done. A bonus is that you can place it on the desk so that you do not need a remote or bend under the desk to make adjustments.

Alternatives to the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill

Alternatives to the TITAN under the desk treadmill:

If you are looking for a treadmill the TrueFrom runner is the current king of the court. This self-propelled treadmill has a reputation for the best belt in the business when it comes to self-propelled machines. If you want to accelerate and decelerate fast, this is the right treadmill to simulate a game environment without taking up too much space. While it is the creme de la creme in functionality, the price is astronomical and close to $6000. You can build an entire gym with that or deck your entire team with TITAN under the desk treadmills instead.

The Rogue Echo bike is in my opinion the best choice for a home gym that is focused on performance. For long runs, you can go outside and get your running shoes on. For interval training and burning as many calories as possible in a short amount of time, there is no match for air bikes. Air bikes can accelerate and decelerate fast without costing a fortune. Technically the Jacobs ladder and the Versaclimber burn more calories per minute but they cost more and take up more space. Other Air bikes in the market are usually more than $1000 except the TITAN fan bike which takes a low-budget clone approach to the Echo bike.

The Nordictrack 32i is the flagship treadmill from Nordictrack. This beast has all the bells and whistles including a massive screen as well as incline and decline settings for running. If you want the full running experience and be entertained at the same time, this is the machine to get.IN return you have to give up a considerable share of your living space and wallet share.

Conclusion for the TITAN Under desk walking treadmill

If you do not mind putting your hands and mind into a project you can build a cheap desk treadmill using the TITAN under desk treadmill as the belt. You could also get it as a cheap walker to get more steps in without having to go outside and watch the television. Apart from that, there are better options for a similar price out there, if you take your running and cardio seriously.

Pros of the TITAN Muay Thai pads

The pros of the TITAN Muay Thai pads are:

Good value

These Muay Thai pads are good value for money to beat the crap out of. If you are already building a TITAN-based boxing corner in your gym just throw these in. For the weekend warrior who trains with his son, wife, or friend, these can be a nice addition to your home gym.

Cons of the TITAN Muay Thai pads

The cons of the Muay Thai pads are:

Not from a dedicated boxing reseller
Can come apart under professional use

What you have to keep in mind with these Muay Thai Pads is that they are mass-produced for rebranding somewhere in China. That does not necessarily make them bad pads, as they are relatively cheap, but these have been produced in a factory that intends to label them for a buyer that then resells them en masse. This means that these have not been designed for a boxing gym where they will be pounded by several athletes 3 - 8 hours a day straight. If you are looking for something to cover that need get in touch with a local store for boxing equipment and ask them what is good and what they have in store.

Alternatives to the Muay Thai pads

RDX T13 boxing Gloves
RDX Gloves and Pad set
RDX Leather boxing gloves

The RDX T13 Training gloves are good gloves to use on a heavy bag for training. They cost slightly more than the Muay Thai pads and you have a choice of color between gold and red. It is your choice what you would prefer for your sparring at home or in a commercial gym between two pairs of gloves or a combo of gloves and pads.

The RDX Gloves and pad set has roughly the same price as the TITAN Muay Thai pad. This is probably the better option for the weekend warrior who wants to train with someone who or she knows as it is better value for money for a lower quality glove and pad.

The RDX A2 Fight Lace-up leather Boxing gloves are approved by several boxing federations for competition and roughly cost $130. This would be a good option if you want to take your boxing at home to the next level or want to sparr in a boxing gym for competition.

Conclusion for the Muay Thai pads

The TITAN Muay Thai pads are of reasonable quality and longevity and good for an occasional bout. If they will be pounded around the clock by professional or semi-professional athletes you might want to look for pads in the $100 to $200 range. There other options to satisfy the occasional user which are better value for money. Contacting a local fight store to get information about which gloves are best is a good idea, as they use their own merchandise.
