Just me. Also I subscribe to, "You get what you pay for." I'd steer sooo clear of this one. Been burned once or twice when it seems too good to be true.
But good luck with making it work for you and I hope it's not like those mini versions of stair machines--those were really hunks of junk! People I know who used them invariably injured themselves.

Ideally, I'd love a treadmill desk, but I don't want to make that kind of investment at this point, and my office at work doesn't have room for it anyway.
