Desktop Gym®

From Fitness Studio to Workplace Wellness

Flash back to the 1990s, while teaching fitness classes, I noticed something that traditional exercise wasn't addressing. More and more people were spending their days at a desk, arriving with stiff shoulders, aching backs, and low energy. 

Fast forward to now, I have developed simple, mostly seated movement routines that could be performed right at the workstation. What started as practical sessions for corporate teams has evolved into Desktop Gym®, a comprehensive movement program designed specifically for today's workplace.

Our mission is to create an approach that is intentionally simple,

highly engaging and designed specifically for desk-based employees,

helping organizations create healthier daily work habits

that they can realistically sustain.

Modern Work Needs

Modern Movement

Today's workplace looks very different than it did thirty years ago, but one thing hasn't changed: our bodies weren't designed to sit still for hours at a time.

Think about it. Between emails, messages, meetings and constant interruptions, employees can experience up to 60 extraneous communications each day, amounting to as much as 300 minutes of lost workflow.

Desktop Gym® offers a smarter solution. Our guided micro movement breaks fit seamlessly into the workday, helping employees release tension, restore focus, and return to their tasks feeling re-energised.

By combining simple desk-based movement with ergonomic awareness, DTG helps reduce the effects of sedentary work while contributing to healthier teams, improved wellbeing, stronger engagement, and better long-term performance.

Find the Right Break for

Your Day



Desktop Gym® believes workplace wellness doesn't require expensive equipment, changing clothes, or leaving your desk.

Our guided movement breaks combine practical ergonomics with accessible exercise to help reduce the effects of prolonged sitting.

Whether someone has two minutes or fifteen, our goal is simple:  help people feel better, move better, and work better.

Tight shoulders and upper back? 

Select a 2-5+ minute Arms and Shoulders vignette from ‘Desktop Sprints’ to loosen you up. There are filters for tight torso, hips, legs and combos, too.

Need a different perspective?

Try 2-5+ minute ‘Deskside Standup’ that use your chair, desk or door as support.

Want to get more dynamic on a break?

‘Breaktime Challenges’ feature 5-15+ minute breaks to regenerate and return to work with abs, arms, glutes and legs more toned and flexible.
