Improve productivity, health & comfort with the first interactive smart chair designed for movement.

Story

 

The hustle. The grind. The long hours.

We spend most of our lives chasing dreams, crushing goals, and rising above challenges—while glued to our workstations. And while this leads to professional growth, it also leads to a host of health problems. Think poor blood circulation, stiff joints, and sore muscles.

Consider this:

Our primal bodies are made for movement. They do their best work that way. But modern workspaces require you to be stationary for at least 8 hours/day, even if you splurge on a standing desk.

Meet the first intelligently designed deskwork solution made for the modern workspace. This is Movably Pro: the only smart chair that helps you find your physical and mental flow state. No distracting sounds or disruptions.

With Movably Pro (Patents Pending), you can move freely while fulfilling your dreams and crushing goals — all without an achy back, stiff joints, and poor blood circulation. 

 

 

 

Movably Inc. was founded on a simple singular idea:

People should be able to do focused, creative, world-changing work without sacrificing their health.

When our CEO Mark Kapij suffered a road cycling accident that left him with a vertebrae fracture which made him more sensitive to extended sitting. After years of spending thousands of dollars on multiple “ergonomic” chairs and not finding anything that helped, Mark wanted to help solve this issue for himself and others in the same boat.

So, Mark teamed up with Jose and Andriy to create a modern deskwork system that allows dynamic movement without interrupting a focused work session.

They developed Movably Pro — the only intelligently designed workstation focusing on movement, productivity, and health.

 

 

A university research study published in Applied Ergonomics found that 100% of users reported lower levels of discomfort after using Movably Pro continuously for just two hours.

 

 

Movably Pro combines the ergonomics of a traditional chair, the stance of a standing desk, and the movement of a treadmill desk all in one solution that adjusts for you so you don’t have to abandon your flow state to get some movement in. 

 

With Movably Pro you don’t have to worry about being stationary—you can sit, stand, or go Flamingo (the leg up and leg down position). The workstation’s seat controls and brushless motors ensure you stay in motion while feeling rested. The best part is that you can set your seat control setting and desired interval on the Movably app so everything happens hands-free. You just feel a haptic vibration and that’s your cue to switch your position.

And we didn’t stop there. With Movably Pro, you get intuitive movement along with an anti-fatigue mat and all the back and neck support you need to feel comfortable all day long.

 

 

 

 

The Movably app helps you keep track of your positions and helps you set customized intervals for your posture changes. It also keeps you accountable to your movement and productivity goals, almost like a helpful coach guiding you through your workday. 

 

 

 

 

Movably transcends beyond just “ergonomics” and “back positioning” — the intelligent workstation ensures you remain comfortable, active, and productive throughout your workday. Every component of the chair makes sure all three states are achieved, from the tactile buttons to the brushless motors. 

 

With Movably Pro, you get to chase goals and build dreams exactly how you want—sitting, standing, or in flamingo mode. With such varied movements and sit/stand positions, Movably Pro was designed to match industry-average heights for compatible sit-to-stand desks, which are frequently recommended for individuals between 5’2” – 6’4” in height. 

But that doesn’t tell the whole picture. Human bodies come in different dimensions. To check to see if Movably Pro will work for you, measure your inseam by following this guide—the workstation supports an inseam of 26.5” – 36.5”.

Movably Inc. was founded on the idea that people should be able to do focused, creative, world-changing work, without sacrificing their health. After years of testing dozens of ergonomic chairs that couldn’t live up to their promises, the Movably team set out to reinvent the modern office chair. Ergonomics only helps people to sit for longer periods of time (further exacerbating the problem), Movably focused on integrating movement while sitting and standing – all without interrupting focus and productivity. Movably Pro is the company’s premier product and the most intelligent way to incorporate movement into the workday.

Helbling was founded in 1963 and positions itself as an interdisciplinary nexus of engineering and consulting expertise. The independent group operates internationally and has its headquarters and four locations in Switzerland, along with companies in Germany, Poland, the USA, and China. Movably saw that Helbling was uniquely capable to tackle this project with us by contributing the breadth of experience they have in designing reliable high volume consumer products.  They really understood the product and our goals deeply and helped us produce something we all feel is remarkable today.

 

 

 

With crowdfunding, we can create Movably Pro with input and support from the entire community. It also helps us reach our production goals ahead of schedule and gives us an opportunity to thank the early adopters of our product by offering a special discount. We hope that with crowdfunding support, users can start feeling the benefits of the Movably Pro sooner!

 

WARRANTY

We have a 2 year limited warranty. Backers will receive the standard quality warranty that applies to all Movably products, which warrants the equipment of our own manufacture to be free of defects in material and workmanship, under normal use and proper operation, for a period of two years from date of shipment.

RETURNS

We want you to be happy with our product, but because it can take some time to get used to the chair and feel the full benefits of the Movably Pro, we require customers to use the chair for at least 90 days and complete 1000+ posture changes (counted by the chair) before returning their item. If you’re still not satisfied with the product at that point, users will be able to return the chair for up to 180 calendar days from the date of purchase. Return shipping charges will apply and refunds will be issued after the product is received at the warehouse and inspected for damage.

SHIPPING

Shipping will be charged in June 2024, prior to shipping. Expected rates for US and Canada:

  • $99 to ship one Movably Pro
  • $198 to ship one Movably Pro + Desk 

 

Producing a hardware product is never easy. Factoring in integrated software adds another layer of complexity. Our previous experience at various companies makes us better prepared for the unforeseen challenges we may encounter during the tooling, manufacturing, and testing processes. But as with any manufactured good – especially an innovative, new product like ours – unexpected delays can happen. The software also requires additional testing to ensure a seamless experience for our end users. Should any issues arise or if we foresee any delays to the timeline for delivery, we promise to be transparent and let our backers know immediately. Our target shipping date is July 2024 and we will work hard to make it happen. Quality is our top priority and we will not trade quality for schedule, as we are committed to making the best product we possibly can for you and your well being.
