Do you have 5 minutes?
Starting with our ‘health in workspaces’ philosophy, our approach in designing Take 5 was to minimize health problems caused by sitting for long periods of time, help you utilize your breaks in the most efficient way possible, and increase your motivation.
Take 5 helps you do light exercise moves such as stretching. You can keep healthy with just a 5 minute break from work.

Take 5 is an exercise tool designed to enable you to increase your energy and motivation in workspace, and preserve your health by sparing only 5 minutes of your busy schedule. Take 5 is not an ordinary exercise tool, it’s also a piece of furniture; not only innovates workspaces with its mirror, but it also promotes a healthy lifestyle and the will to exercise!
Working at a desk for long hours staying in the same position is a primary cause of cervical lordosis loss, carpal tunnel syndrome, obesity and depression, along with chronic muscle pain, cramps and posture disorders.
Take 5 minimizes these effects by helping you get away from stress, providing peace for your mind, regulating your blood flow, flexing your muscles, and straightening your posture.
Take 5 is not professional exercise equipment. It is designed to support light exercise moves such as flexing and stretching, in order to improve health conditions for people of all ages and body forms.
