Learning on the move with a treadmill

The University Library is expanding its services to include an innovative way of integrating exercise into learning and working. Two treadmills are available for all library users in the GW/GSW and LK Libraries and in the Medical Library. The devices allow users to work while walking and thus contribute to a dynamic and varied learning environment.

Advantages of Walkolutions in the GW/GSW and LK Libraries:

  • powerless and quiet operation
  • handmade in Germany from sustainable materials
  • equipped with desks with space for books, laptops and other work materials
  • treadmill adapts to the user's walking speed

Simply get on, adjust the speed and get your studies moving!
