In the search for a great gaming/office chair, FlexiSpot was kind enough to provide me with an option that not only fit the bill of being an ergonomic choice but one that also had an added benefit. The Sit2Go 2-in-1 Fitness Chair’s main gimmick is that you can keep your body active even in those moments during the day where you may just be static, through its exercise bike elements. The end result though is a chair that while a great idea, fails to really bring both pieces together in harmony.

What’s In The Box

When getting into the box, you’ll find the entire Sit2Go in various pieces. Included with the chair itself are the needed screws and Allen wrench to get the job done. Putting it together was actually pretty easy and I only ever had problems when it was a user error. I’d say that the average user could get this put together in 10 minutes or less.

Aesthetics and Build Quality

As far as looks go; the Sit2Go is a very interesting-looking chair. With the top part looking like a normal desk seat and the bottom resembling an exercise bike, it’s definitely a focal point for your desk area. FlexiSpot sent me the white version of it and I gotta say that it looks really fresh and clean.

When it comes to the durability aspect of the Sit2Go, I’d have to say that it’s pretty well done. The seat, pedals, and frame feel really good and sturdy. Though it’s a pretty heavy chair, the wheels glide easily across both carpet and laminate flooring without any hiccups too.

I think my only gripe as far as build quality goes is that there was some knocking going on in the left pedal area. It ceased after a few hours but it did have me worried that the thing was already taking a dive.

Specs and Special Features

If having some pedals to play with wasn’t enough, you actually have real exercise bike features too. Firstly, there’s a resistance dial that allows you to choose just how tight the pedals are when it comes to making rotations. Then, you also have an LCD screen where you can view your exercise time, speed, distance, calories burned, total distance, and a couple more. Additionally, you can adjust the seat up and down via the underneath lever and/or move the seat forward or back via the included screws.

Functionality

Overall, I think that the Sit2Go is a product suited better for folks that aim to use it only for an hour or so a day. I used this for an 8-hour duration and came out of it in a bit of pain. My legs felt locked up as well as an aching tailbone. The reason; it’s just not a super comfortable seat.

While the bottom half is a pretty great piece, the seat and backrest leave much to be desired. The seat isn’t very cushiony and a bit on the small side. The problem with the backrest is the fact that it sits so far from the seat itself no matter how you adjust it. You’ll find yourself fidgeting and squirming just to find some kind of happy medium.

What It Could Have Done Better

My two big complaints about the Sit2Go are the fact that it already started having malfunction issues in the first couple of hours of use and that the entirety of the seat can be uncomfortable. The uncomfortable aspect is something that you really don’t want to have in a chair and it’s unfortunate that this is the case.

Verdict

While the Sit2Go offers some really promising features, ideas, and a unique look, it’s not the ideal chair for all-day use or for folks sensitive to seating. However, this is the ideal chair if you aim to use it a handful of times a week for about an hour at a time. Being able to work out while getting some light office work done or gaming for a bit is a really cool combo to have, especially to ward off the holiday weight. It’s definitely worth checking out.
