The TITAN Under desk treadmill is the only treadmill that TITAN currently stocks.

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.

Overview of the TITAN Pivoting Reflex trainer

Pros of the TITAN Pivoting Reflex trainer

The Pros of the TITAN Pivoting fitness trainer are:

Price
Rack-mounted
Small
Can be wall mounted

The first thing to mention is the price which undercuts most special stores you could this item from. This is due to the strategy of TITAN fitness to be a cost leader for all of the products they are presenting in their shop at the cost of quality assurance and customer service. This means you buy it cheap and then have to figure it out yourself and if it is broken you might need to fix it up a little yourself.

This particular reflex trainer can also be mounted on a T-3 series which avoids having to drill it into a wall. With that, it is special in the market of Reflex trainers and something to be looked at for somebody who wants to build an entire home gym based on TITAN products.

Compared to a speed bag and a heavy boxing bag it takes up way less space in your gym. This can be an advantage in spaces that are already constrained.

Compared to free-standing boxing bags and reflex trainers this can be wall-mounted. This is usually better as the free-standing versions tend to be all over the place once an adult has a serious go at them.

Cons of the TITAN Pivoting Reflex trainer

The cons of the Pivotings Reflex trainer are:

Needs to be wall-mounted or attached to a rack
Can not be hit very hard
As a gimmick rather than an essential item

The first disadvantage of the Reflex trainer is that it will not work if you do not mount it properly. If you do not have the option to place a rack in your gym or mount the Reflex trainer to the wall you will not be able to use it.

This Reflex trainer is not a replacement for a heavy bag or a speed bag. You can not hit this machine as hard as a heavy bag as it does not provide the surface to place the punch or kick. While it is great for coordination and reaction times it is not an essential item to become a good boxer. These things can also be addressed by shadow boxing or having simple pieces of string in the ring.

Alternatives to the Pivoting Reflex trainer

The TITAN power strike punching bag is a good option for anyone who wants to move their punching bag around a lot. As long as you have the mount in the ceiling or in the wall you can move this bag around easier compared to other bags because of its shape. Especially good for smaller and lighter athletes that see boxing as a cardio workout rather than a sport to be taken seriously in itself.

The TITAN MuayThai boxing bag is one of the best value for money bags from TUTAN you can get. It is heavy and long and is therefore suitable to place low kicks, body punches, and uppercuts on it. The only downside is that it is quite hard to move it around by yourself, so if you want to change things around often, this might not be the bag for you.

The TItan 88 lb punching bag is TITAN's version of a heavy boxing bag. It is slightly thicker than the Muay Thai bag and they are better suited to athletes over 80kg to hack away at it. The only downside is that it does not go low enough to the ground to work for low kicks.

Conclusion for the Pivoting Reflex trainer

The TITAN pivoting reflex trainer is a great cheap option to get your hand on a pivoting Reflex trainer if you wanted to get one. It is also one of the few ones that are rack-mountable right out of the box, so if you design a gym fully around a rack rather than walls and ceilings, then this is a good option.
