Our story
How we got our start
A few years back, three of us co-founders had full-time desk jobs and realized how sedentary our lives became. While there were fitness trackers to track exercise, there was little that helped us be more active throughout the day without disrupting our routine. Thus, Cubii was born.
What makes our product unique
Cubii is a beautiful product with a patented design that’s ergonomic. It’s designed to be low to no impact on joints, so it becomes unconscious. It is the only elliptical that connects to a mobile app, Fitbit, & Apple HealthKit to track, share, & compete, making it a unique community experience.
Why we love what we do
We love how simple Cubii is. It fits into everyday life, at an office desk or home couch. What keeps us going are user impact stories – from working parents balancing work & family, to people with limited mobility looking to revitalize & build muscle strength, Cubii’s opened doors that didn’t exist.

easy to setupIt was super easy to put together. It took only a couple of minutes. I put it under my desk and use it every time I am sitting there. I watch movies on my computer and use it when I am there or typing. It has a big handle which is needed to move it. It is a little heavy, but I have had a stroke and am 69 yrs old and I can move it. The pedals slide back enough to store out of the way when I’m not using it. I also have a lung issue so I am still trying to get used to the first level. I think it will help more when I can go to the next level. It’s so easy to use and if you want to lose weight this should do it. I love it.

Simple, sturdy, good quality.Got this for my wife who works at home . She need something to help with her anxiety and keep her body going while having 8 hours of sitting. I noticed a difference next day . Made her feel more positive and little more energetic. I started using it at night when reading or binged watching TV. And noticed a difference in my lower back on the morning. 40 ‘s are fun lol. It’s solid build and good weight so doesn’t move. Nice digital monitor for strides etc. We always ask each other how many you did. Don’t go cheep with those $40 something dollar ones , this one is worth it. Only hang up , is it started making a tiny noise , as if it is hitting something inside at a certain point of pedaling. Other than that, it works great and highly recommend.

Nice for elderlyMy grandmother loves it. She uses it throughout the day to keep the heart pumping. On the plus side, it is heavy enough to not slide around while she is pedaling. On the down side, the weight is almost too much for her to move it so I worry about her tripping over it as she tries to get around it rather than move it.

Great under the desk elliptical, if you purchase make sure you’ll use it!I’ve had the Cubii Jr for about 2-weeks and have gotten into the habit of using it on a daily basis. I did a ton of research on this product prior to purchasing as the price was fairly high and I wanted to make sure I’d use it. When it arrived I was shocked at how heavy it was! My plan was to use it during the day at my desk (I work from home on a regular basis) and move it to the TV room for the evening, that was quickly dismissed due to the weight. The one thing I noticed is when I got frustrated at work I got on the Cubii and pedaled away, after a few minutes all the stress was gone! I did have to raise my desk by 1-inch in order to use it correctly, I’m 5’4-1/2 and I couldn’t cross my legs under my desk. Your knees do go up and down, not as much as similar products but make sure your desk/table will allow for enough room for your knees to comfortably move without hitting underneath the surface.You will get a simple workout with this product, don’t expect to burn hundreds of calories though! I work-out regularly but sit most of the day so I was looking for something that allowed me to move around more but still allowed me to work, this product does that. It’s just an added way to get in just a little bit of extra movement.I think this is a great elliptical but do your research before purchasing. The price is steep so make sure you’ll use it on a regular basis as it’s really too heavy move all over the place, too expensive to not use and too big to lay around somewhere without getting in the way. I hope this information is useful to someone!

Wobbly but also a life saver for someone who has no spaceHad to fold up a wash cloth to stop the wobble but for someone who has ZERO space it’s still wonderful. Can’t be used standing up! I remember seeing pictures and reading somewhere of this being used standing and not true! The angle of the pedals is designed just for sitting down, like you’ll break your ankles trying that. Also has warning labels that very clearly state do not stand. Very quiet as long as you take care of the wobble if your machine has that.

I LOVE This Thing!Because of health issues, and, let’s face it, just plain laziness, I have not exercised much at all in several years. Hip and back problems have not allowed me to do any kind of exercise that involves being on my feet for very long. After a stern warning from my doctor this fall about my excessive weight, I decided to check out non-weight bearing exercises. Then I saw the Cubii commercial on tv. This looked like something I could do – just sit (I’m good at that) and pedal. This machine is a bit pricey and I was afraid like the treadmill and exercise bike that I had owned in the past, that I might not get my money’s worth out of it. But I was wrong.This was very easy to assemble. Took only a few minutes. I placed it under my desk at my home office where I work several hours a day. I used a kitchen rug under it more to protect the vinyl floor than to keep the Cubii from moving. This thing is heavy and isn’t going anywhere. I like the ‘pads’ that are included that go under the wheels of office chairs which keeps the chair from rolling around while pedaling. Once I got the positioning of the chair right, I was off and running – or pedaling as the case may be. I was amazed at how very quiet this is.I started on level 1, did that for two weeks, then moved to level 2 for two weeks, and so on. Whenever I felt the tension was starting to get easy I moved up a level. I’m now at level 5. I really feel a difference in the strength and firmness of my muscles in my legs, butt and hips. And if I was sitting up straight (I’m a sloucher) I’d probably feel it in my abs too. And the best thing for me, I have absolutely no back or hip pain from using the Cubii. I find using it not only effortless but mindless which means I’m pedaling without even thinking about it. So on a busy computer day I might get as many as 6,000 steps in (about an hour total).For those that have reviewed this and said it’s not really exercise, I disagree. This may not be aerobic exercise (unless you’re pedaling really fast) but it’s not meant to be. It’s meant for people like me who need to ease back into exercise and strengthen muscles we haven’t used in a long time so we can get up and do other things. And I definitely know it’s working my muscles and burning some calories. Since I started using my Cubii about two and a half months ago, I’ve lost 15 lbs. Disclaimer… I’ve also started eating better at the same time which also helped some. When I don’t have to concentrate on my work, I have some 1 lb hand weights that I use while pedaling to get some upper body movement and exercise. And at some point, I’m going to try some of the online videos for Cubii exercises that are more aerobic.Overall, I LOVE my Cubii. I have used it every single day since I set it up and I know I will continue to use it every day because its so easy and it makes me feel good about life again.

Husband uses it every day!This has helped my 80+ husband keep on his feet. After (3) back surgeries and (1) neck fusion my husband started using this. It sure has helped keep him on his feet and going! Pricey, but FREE shipping helped as this thing is heavy.

Great product, quiet and effective, love it!When I purchased this I thought it was a bit pricey but I needed something to keep me moving,being quite sedentary. I am thrilled, way beyond expectations! I have used it 2 to 4 hrs every day, sitting in a chair and watching TV. In a four hour shift I have gone 14,ooo strides and burned 400 calories. Mine is very, whisper quiet and smooth to run. Been using about 1 month. I also feel better and am more interested in other activities! In my opinion this is an excellent product and just what I needed!
